Cardinal Interiors

Interior design in Middle Tennessee

Rooms that hold
your family’s story

beautiful, and built to be lived in

Interior design is personal. I help you weave together the parts of your family that matter into rooms that work as hard as they look good.

What I do

Two ways to work together

For the spaces people come to

Commercial Design

Offices, waiting rooms and storefronts that feel considered.

The part I love

Fabrics, patterns,
and getting it right

Then I started working a small side job for a local interior design company, assisting with their retail storefront. I fell in love with fabrics, faux florals, mixing patterns and colors. I was offered the opportunity to do my first full design from start to finish, and it never gets old. I continue to enjoy interiors, my clients and design more and more as the years go by.

The first conversation is free, takes about twenty minutes, and there is nothing to prepare. Tell me about the room and we will go from there.
