Mixing layers of established and new colors or patterns is what interior designer Lizzie Pogue is known for via her full-service, boutique design firm Lizzie Pogue Interiors in Nashville. She's also fond of layering textures and incorporating antiques or family heirlooms into her design work to create unique, charming and welcoming spaces.
Lizzie professes a deep appreciation for traditional architectural design style. As a lover of exterior Georgian and Colonial design, she says she strives to incorporate this traditional feel inside clients' homes to create classic, timeless spaces with contemporary elements mixed throughout.
"Reupholster, reupholster, reupholster," she recommends. "I'm a firm believer in investing in quality furniture pieces that can live with you for 10-15 years. If there's a way to give new life to an existing piece, the budget's usually able to stretch further and allow clients to splurge on the wallpaper or that dream fabric."
Two investments that always seem to surprise clients with satisfaction are a custom-cut rug and drapery, Lizzie adds. "It's wild how even a solid colored panel with a simple trim can elevate a space, giving you the feeling of a 'cozy elegance.'"
"I think when designing any space, it's so important to balance old with new. You want your home to feel fresh, while also still a reflection of you. I think others like to feel that, too, when they walk into your home. There's a sense of comfort because the space reminds them of you; a friend, a mom, a grandparent."
