Designing homes for a rich and meaningful life.

 

The impact of well-designed surroundings can be challenging to express, yet its influence is undoubtedly felt. We are passionate about helping you unlock the full potential of your most important place: your home, whether creating warm and inviting spaces or establishing a personal sanctuary.

Our attentive approach is not just about recognizing your needs and preferences; it’s about understanding them. Our design process incorporates defined milestones throughout your project, providing confidence as we guide you from our first consultation to revealing your beautifully transformed space.

 

Wanda Horton - Founder & Interior Designer

 

Although Wanda was introduced to design at a young age, antiquing with her mother and grandmother and digging into the history behind their discoveries, she chose to study healthcare during her first years at East Carolina University. She ultimately shifted her major, earned a degree in interior design, and followed her childhood interest with a new lens. Wanda began to see not only what suited a space, but also witnessed the effects of modifying a living environment for one’s well-being.

With a timeless approach to interiors, Wanda finds and merges meaningful layers of both new and existing treasures. She believes, upon completing a project, walking into your home should bring a sense of welcome and living in it, a familiar comfort.

Since the inception of her firm, Wanda has appreciated the recognition of her work featured in publications and blogs such as This Old House Magazine, Charlotte Home + Garden, Queen City Exclusive, The Charlotte Observer, The French Garden House, The Decorating Diva, HFC’s Blog—“Live an Exceptional Life” and as a Style Spotter for the High Point Furniture Market.  

A North Carolina native, Wanda has lived in the Charlotte area for over 30 years. She’s designed primary residences and second homes in the coastal and mountain regions.

Wanda is a member of the National Kitchen & Bath Association and the Interior Design Society and is a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist.
