Business of Home - Designer Debate 'Rules of Engagement'

November 5, 2024

Thank you to Kaitlin Petersen and Business of Home for an incredible Designer Debate alongside one of my favorite designers and dear friend, Joe Ireland. It was an honor to be part of this conversation!

Great design is best achieved over time. When communication channels are wide open, both the client and designer have a better understanding of the project overall.

Gradually designing the room results in a curated feel with history and a sense of narrative. The outcome feels purposeful and soulful like it was all meant to be.

“While Candy and Andy Roberts have lived in eight different homes during their 40-year marriage, one thing has remained consistent: their interior designer, Nadia Watts. For many designers, a successful redesign can evolve into the first of many projects that follow clients throughout their lives—from starter homes to forever homes, and then on to vacation homes and sometimes even the next generation’s homes. As Jessica Flint writes for The Wall Street Journal, the lifelong collaborations often reveal touching insights about a designers’ and clients’ evolving style through the years, and sometimes lead to close personal friendships.”
