The season is changing, so why wouldn’t our throw pillows? For 26 years, Tisha McLemore has emphasized this principle into elements of her day-to-day life in the world of interior design. 

Tisha McLemore began her interior design career in historic Savannah, Georgia, 26 years ago, as a graduate of Georgia Southern University. She honed her craft working with several top designers in Houston, Chicago and Savannah who helped mold her unique talent of turning houses into homes. 

She now resides in Cypress with her family, launching TLM Design in 2005. She specializes in residential interior design, remodeling and general contracting with completed projects in Houston, Chicago, Dallas and New Orleans.

Describing her role for her clients she says, “When I design, of course I influence the look of a room, but I allow the client to make it their design, reflecting their personality. Be it in the colors, their collections, their family heirlooms or their favorite art pieces, I like to take those elements and turn them into one cohesive design that fits their needs.”

Revamping your home’s aesthetic does not have to break the bank. Just by incorporating seafoam and burnt orange accents into you main grays and neutrals pieces automatically adds a sudden warmth and coziness to the home.

Collaborating with The Brooke Home & Gift (formerly Magpies), Tisha updated the living room of Towne Lake residents Tracy Foreman and Craig Hebel to reflect the fall season using just a few pieces.

She emphasizes the importance of purchasing neutral permanent pieces such as wall decor, sofas, tables and chairs, while updating with trendy pillows and accessories you can alternate through with changing fads and seasons.

In the upcoming year, McLemore advises, “We’re moving away from whites and grays, and into more rich colors.”
