Featured Designer
MADI GRAY
Born and raised right outside Birmingham, Madi enjoyed growing up on her family’s small farm, where she developed a passion for interior design from a young age. Madi attended Auburn University where she earned her Bachelor of Science Degree in Interior Design, graduating Summa Cum Laude in spring of 2021. She is passionate about designing spaces with rich character that tell a unique story and strive to find beauty and comfort in the most unexpected places.
Why do you love being an interior designer?
I love being a designer because everyone has a unique story to tell & through thoughtful, tailored design, my services can help someone share that story with others. It’s a joy to create spaces where one can feel confident, known, & inspired.
What inspires your design style?
My design style is inspired by the worlds that came before us & left a piece of their lives behind. Perhaps the answer to the saying if walls could talk isn’t found in the words they would say, but the stories written on them— in the birthday measuring marks engraved behind the closet door, the wax droppings on hardwood floors, the concrete footprints in the back…. My style is inspired by authenticity & the notion to compliment one’s story through intentional design.
Are there any fabrics/colors you’re drawn to for the summer?
This season, I find myself drawn to the natural colors of summer – dark greens found in the canopy of leaves, warm hints of yellow seen in the wildflowers, and cool shades of blues in water reflections. It’s fun to see botanical block prints coming back, especially on lightweight fabrics and drapery.
The mix of sophistication and detail in the Maarla Brass floor lamp makes it a piece versatile for any kind of space – a bedroom reading nook, living room, or office.
A Cloche can add an unexpected, ‘curiosity’ moment for your guests to admire what’s inside, especially when placed somewhere it can be easily seen like on a coffee table grouped with books or a desk. I currently have one on my fireplace mantle with a robin’s nest inside.
This sofa could not be more fitting for summer. The mustard yellow adds to its uniqueness and warm summer charm! I wouldn’t mind reading a book on a rainy summer day here.
Pressed botanicals bring nature into your space in a tasteful and artistic way. The art form of dried and pressed plants has been around for centuries, and while a renaissance of them are being seen in homes today, they stay timeless (and beautiful) when done well.
While coffee table books do look pretty, I believe they are made to be opened and read. Go ahead and turn that crisp first page, some of them like “America at Work” will make you thankful you did.
