Luxury Coastal Interior Designfor beach and waterfront homes

A coastal home should feel relaxed and effortless, never themed. I design luxury beach houses, waterfront homes and Lowcountry retreats with light-filled palettes, natural textures and furnishings chosen to stand up to sun, sand and family life.

I am a luxury interior design consultant at Furnitureland South in Jamestown, North Carolina, near High Point. With more than 11 years of experience, I design and furnish coastal homes for clients from Florida’s Gulf Coast to the Outer Banks.

Coastal Homes I've Designed

Every coastal home starts with its setting: the light, the view and the way the family uses the house.

Designing Your Coastal Home From a Distance

If you live out of state or are furnishing a vacation or second home, my process is built for that. I have refined it designing homes across the country. I coordinate furniture, custom upholstery, rugs, lighting, artwork and accessories room by room, then receive, deliver and install everything so your home is complete.

  • Full-service furnishing, room by room
  • Space plans and elevations before anything arrives
  • E-design plans you can carry out on your own schedule
  • One-on-one Zoom consultations, 25 or 55 minutes

My Approach to Coastal Design

01

Light and Palette

I build each palette around the natural light and the view, so the rooms feel open and calm at every hour.

02

Natural Textures

Woven pieces, natural woods, linen and stone add warmth and depth without leaning on beach clichés.

03

Furnishings That Last

I choose upholstery, rugs and finishes that hold up to sun, sand and full houses of family and guests.

04

A Point of View

Coastal does not have to mean one look. I love adding a touch of edge while keeping a home classic and elegant.
