Where I Find Inspiration
"We go overseas as often as possible and I find the most inspiration in England, France, and Italy — from the architecture to the choices of various color and material combinations. My favorite thing to do is take pictures of the beautiful doors all over Europe!"
About This Space
"The music room for our Dunsinane Drive project has the Madeline Short Sofa as well as the Dena Ottomans. We love all the moody tones that define this room. For guests walking into the house after being greeted by the welcoming foyer, this room adds a juxtaposition of color palettes to catch your eye."
About This Space
"The Ingrid Chair was the perfect fit for this formal living room space because of its elegant silhouette and tapered legs. The Moreau Sofa provided a deep seat with exceptional comfort that added to the welcoming feel we wanted to achieve."

"Design inspiration can spark from a number of different things: a movie set, an image in a magazine, a fabric with a pattern or design, a piece of artwork, or my travels to different cities and restaurants."

About This Space
"We sought a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere that would appeal to both modern and traditional buyers. The clean lines, soft textures and slipcover [of the Noel Chair] achieved this balance, while performance fabrics ensure long-lasting durability."
Nancy Rae Interiors

Houston, TX @nancyraeinteriors
Where We Find Inspiration
"Model homes offer a unique opportunity to create spaces for potential buyers. We love exploring design books to find inspiration. While we enjoy working with face-to-face clients, there's something exhilarating about starting with a blank slate."

Where I Find Inspiration
"I grew up in the mountains and spent much of my adult life near the ocean, and I find my design inspiration in the natural world. The beauty of these landscapes provides a rich palette of textures, colors, and forms that drive my creative process!"
About This Space
"Our clients had a flex space in their home that they weren't quite sure what to do with. They love entertaining and spending time with family, so an arrangement of four Allie Swivels fills the space perfectly and allows for comfy conversations."

About This Space
"The brass base gives the Ophelia Chair a special element of surprise and glam, which is what we wanted for this room. The barrel shape was also critical to establish a tighter and more cozy seating area."
Where I Find Inspiration
"I find inspiration in prints and patterns — whether that's in nature, clothes, art, fabrics or wallpapers. I love finding that piece that really makes a client light up; that's when I can grasp their design style and can really take off with a design."

"We needed a big sectional with a low back, and Neval was the perfect choice! The size fits flawlessly in this room, yet the low back creates openness and continuity. The cream fabric is a simple neutral, but the nubbly feel adds a whole lot of texture to the space!"
About This Space
"The Sylvie Sectional checked all of our boxes when designing this space. We selected this sectional for its modern clean lines paired with the slipcover, which gave us the transitional look we were going for."
BRNS Design
Hayden Dendy Malakoff, TX @brns_design
Where We Find Inspiration
"We find design inspiration at markets, Round Top vintage market, and Instagram. What I like about market and Round Top is that you are experiencing new trends and styles in person. Being immersed in new design is inspiring to me."

@renumathiasinteriors
Where I Find Inspiration
"I am always in search of inspiration throughout my day. Whether it's on a walk, interacting with a stranger on an errand or sitting at the baseball field, I try to find beauty in the gifts of a regular day."
About This Space
"There is something so versatile and approachable about the Madeline Sofa. She can be the showstopper when mixing [styles], and in one of Rowe's many velvet performance fabrics, she holds her own in both family and formal settings."
Project: Lissa Gotwals Photography
Headshot: Matt Lusk Photography
About This Space
"This is a traditional Colonial home, and the Madeline Sofa’s combination of traditional and fun style is perfect for this living room. We wanted to layer this room with texture and color, and the green velvet is the perfect cherry on top!"

@erintripodidesign
Where I Find Inspiration
"Literally everywhere. This summer, I saw a marble mosaic on a Spanish train station floor and I want to incorporate the pattern in a bathroom. [I also love] the colors of nature, especially in New Mexico, Nantucket, and Hilton Head."
About This Space
"The Emmerson Swivel Chair was the perfect anchor for this room. The wood base grounds the chairs in the space, complementing the dark coffee table and balancing the legs of the other pieces. The swooped arms add the perfect punch of feminine style in a very moody, saturated space."
Project: Frazier Springfield

About This Space
"This small space needed adequate seating, but we didn't want to crowd the space with large sofas. The Oliver Settee opened up the space for entertaining, while the Odessa Banquette added a backed seating option with a little more formality."

"My clients inspire me, first and foremost! They all have preferences and are the starting point for all of my designs. Old movies and design magazines are also a great source of inspiration."

About This Space
"The Rothko Swivel is our absolute go-to piece when we have a tight space. The compact size and comfort was perfect in this living room, in a soft white boucle that helps bring all the textures together."

About This Space

Where We Find Inspiration
"We have found incredible inspiration in Marrakech, San Miguel de Allende, Guatemala, Italy, and here at home. From luxury hotels and restaurants to local artisans, our senses are always receptive to inspiration that keeps us at the top of our game."
About This Space
"This primary bedroom was a challenge because it was large but didn't have a separate sitting area. The client was thrilled to have a comfortable Juliet Chair [at the end of the bed] to read, put on shoes, watch TV or just chat with her husband in the morning."
About This Space
"We wanted an accent seating piece that had a slightly feminine and vintage shape. I loved the cute little feet and soft curves.
Then, add the new cottage prints and...magic!"

Where I Find Inspiration
"Textiles are always a starting point for my designs, as I love sourcing textiles with interesting colors and patterns that can inform a whole design and palette. The colors, light, energy and textures in artwork also provide beautiful inspiration."
About This Space
"The Sylvie Sectional provided us the opportunity to build a large-scale sectional with a modern, stylish look for a family of five. Sylvie is the perfect perch for this family to watch movies with friends and to curl up on during a cold Chicago eve!"
About This Space
"Our client was looking for comfort and classic modern style. The lines of the Bradford truly embody this look, especially the soft curve of the arm and deep seating. We used a family-friendly performance fabric that will allow them to truly live in the space!"
Handley Home Interiors
Shannon Handley Waxhaw, NC @handleyhomeinteriors
Where I Find Inspiration
"Fabrics, classical architecture, and of course, nature. Most of my designs come from classical design mixed with modern organic elements. Natural elements and clean-lined furnishings are the perfect combination to create a beautifully curated space."

Where I Find Inspiration
"My favorite places to find design inspiration are found traveling the world. I love to visit boutique hotels and restaurants to experience their unique architecture, design, and all of their unexpected details."
About This Space
"I selected the Macon Ottoman and Cove Table because my clients wanted the comfort of an ottoman and the convenience of a coffee table. I selected a durable fabric for this active, young family so that they could enjoy their space without worry."

"The sizing is so substantial. We needed chairs that would look proportionate to the custom 84” round dining table, and the Finch Chairs added just the touch we needed."
"Once I learn about my client, I can visualize them in the space we are creating. I start with a few key elements I've been loving lately and it sort of evolves from there. Otherwise, there is inspiration everywhere if you are looking for it." Where

About This Space

About This Space

From the beginning, every interaction I've had with Rowe has been amazing. I love working with their product because I know that my clients will be extremely happy with the look and quality. I love that even their more structured modern pieces are comfortable enough to fall asleep on!
About This Space
"I designed [using] the Dimitry Sectional and Leander Swivel Chairs for Rowe's showroom and then fell in love with them for my personal home. I challenged myself to design something that no one would be expecting, hence a really bold pattern on a large sectional."
