A Fresh Look Design

Hey there and thanks for stopping by!  My name is Lisa and I am a design enthusiast, Home Stager, Interior Designer, Counselor with Domestic Violence, tennis player, gardener, love of Philadelphia sports teams, Mother of three, married for 25 years to a great man with a kind heart and an old soul who keeps me laughing. I have designed for over 16 years for clients in Delaware, Richmond and all around Charlotte, NC.  

My DESIGN PHILOSOPHY is classically influenced rooms that respond to modern life.  Great design does not need to cost a fortune and spaces need to be supremely comfortable.

KEY ELEMENTS  I believe function and comfort are essential to designing spaces my clients love. Fabulous lighting and rugs are paramount to cohesive spaces.  “Something old, something new” helps spaces to feel curated and not right off the floor from a local furniture store.  Some patina in every space whether a gilded mirror, natural elements, age worn painted table or an oxidized bronze sculpture lends a but of history to the space.  I spotlight the color to set the tone or mood in a space.

MUST HAVE  No matter the scope of the job or budget, we find a way to add statement lighting which illuminates the room and sets the tone for the space. A bit of luxury in the textiles whether pillows or rugs, a touch of black or bronze to ground the space and art that reflects the home owner……always art!

NEVER FORGET. Scale is the most misunderstood element in design and biggest mistake home owners make. Furniture must first fit the scale of the room properly and be layered to add interest.  Proper scale, size and height to give a sense of cohesiveness and easiness verses the chaos of oversized pieces.
