– Quote by Alan Tanksley: Founder & Principal Designer

AMANDA NISBET DESIGN

“When designing a space the very first thing I think about is the mood of the room.  Depending on the function and needs of my client,  I question how we want to experience the room, how do we want to feel when we are in it?
Then I consider the elements I feel are essential to a well designed space – comfort and elegance achieved through careful consideration of layout, form, scale, colour and texture.”
– Quote by Amanda Nisbet: Interior Designer, Home Decor and Fabric Designer, and Author

AMY LAU DESIGN

“I try to give the room a sense of spirit from the person who will inhabit it, I don’t care about fads or trends. I want [the] rooms [I design] to have couture moments, to create environments that uplift people, and are expressions of what they really like.”
–  Quote by Amy Lau: Interior Designer, Home Furnishings Designer and Author

KEMBLE INTERIORS

“In life as in design, it is not perfection you should be after. There’s beauty in the faded and worn, the well loved, and the sentimental…After all, life as seams. Your home should be like a loosely woven fabric of desires, memories, practical, notions, and even compromises.”
– Quote by Celerie Kemble: Partner & Interior Designer in NY Office and Home Decor Product Designer

DAUN CURRY

“I am constantly inspired by the rarity and luxury of jewelry. I actually find those qualities influence a lot of my creative output as an interior designer, from the clothing I wear to the spaces I create. I love to study the details. Of course, there are memories and associations embedded in jewelry that are incredibly personal and become more so over time.”
– Quote by Daun Curry: Interior & Home Decor Product Designer

KATI CURTIS DESIGN

“My style can be summed up in 3 words: crafted, cultured, and collected.
There will always be an element of fine craftsmanship, always a sense of taste and refinement, and always a feeling that the interiors were built and collected over a lifetime.  Interiors are a statement of personal expression, and I believe my work is about helping clients tell the story of who they are through their surroundings…it’s a visual story.”
– Quote by Kati Curtis: Founder & Principal Interior Designer

KATIE LYDON INTERIORS

“Contemporary art and furniture have a very strong design interest and I believe it inspires us because it pushes us to continue to grow and learn. Great art really gives a home gravitas. In no way do you match your art to anything. Its purpose is to really enhance a room and elevate ones design process. A lot of our clients have families, which at times can be challenging. We have to push ourselves to be creative. We want the space to be beautiful and sophisticated, but it also must be comfortable, functional and fitting for a family to live in. There has to be a good balance between the two.”
– Quote by Katie Lydon: Founder & Principal Interior Designer

– Quote by Nicole Fuller: Founder & Principal Interior Designer, Home Decor Product Designer
