Mandy Emilie Design, LLC - Interior Design Services
Mandy Goodman of Mandy Emilie Design asked me to photograph one of her interior design jobs. She was working with a client in Springfield, VA who wanted to incorporate some of her collectables and art along with a design refresh of her living room. Scroll down to see photos from that shoot including the client's adorable dog, who gave us only one take!
As I have gotten more familiar with Mandy's process, I continue to be impressed with her design sense, knowledge of the industry and her dedicated and holistic approach to working with clients. Below is her mission statement which sums up her philosophy and process.
I believe each person should have the freedom to choose whatever element they like to include in their interior spaces. There are so many wonderful colors, textures, materials, and works of art to appreciate and welcome into your home.
Often when a client doesn’t quite know where to start, they seek out trends. Design trends have the ability to inspire great creativity and can establish a starting point. They serve as guides to many people, including professionals. Although trends alone are unable to fully capture the essence of one’s home, personality and lifestyle.
The interior of a space should reflect the person who lives there. When I meet with a client I will ask questions not only about what they need in terms of functionality and style preferences but also their interests, hobbies, passions, collectibles or travels. This information tells me how to navigate their project by looking for certain patterns, textures, and colors that reflect who they are and how they enjoy their time.
My goal is to create an atmosphere that feels fresh and inspiring to the client. I look at natural light and shading, landscaping and architecture. These elements tell me how to use color and material effectively so that the space feels balanced. Each project is unique because every person is different and that is what I love about this work. I’m putting together a puzzle for them that ultimately affects their day to day living so that things feel natural, organized, and inspired to them.
I work with all design aesthetics and project budgets. Consultations are billed hourly and Design Concepts and Procurement Services are billed at a percentage of the project budget.
