Arizona’s Top Interior Designers

 

A talented interior designer is oftentimes one of the most underappreciated artists working today. So often we walk into beautiful, comfortable rooms or spaces and take for granted the fact that the vision-turned-reality of these great works are the result of the time and talent of people who can envision a space beyond four simple walls.

Arizona has, not surprisingly to those in the business, one of the country’s best rosters of innovative interior designers, and today we’re going to celebrate (in alphabetical order) some of the Grand Canyon State’s best.

“Thank you! I feel honored!

Let me tell you a bit about myself. I am an Architect by training. I actually have a six-year degree/master’s. When I was in school, my project presentations always included well-furnished floor plans and cross-sections. Everybody used to tell me, ‘I can almost imagine myself inside those rooms.’ That was a hint of things to come. My training included History of Style, Color Theory, and many other curriculum components that made me particularly well-suited for the practice of Interior Design. Of course, there’s what I call a “gift” or a knack, something we are all given at birth. It’s either one talent or another. Wouldn’t you agree?

Actually, kitchens and baths are one of my favorite projects. You probably saw I showcased some interesting “Before & Afters” on my website! Many of which have won awards. Kitchens have a particular appeal to me from a psychological point of view. They remain the hub of every home, the place where everybody concurs almost ritualistically before dinner is ready; I see a trend that tends to make it an even more relevant place within the home. Clients will tell me, ‘We want a big island where friends can gather and drink wine while we finish up the dinner we will all share.’

And bathrooms … Don’t get me started on that one! They are such a wonderful place to be your most creative! There is so much room to play with tile, stone, fixtures, shower enclosures, wall finishes, and art. The list goes on.”
