Dawn Hearn Interior Design

Should the rug go under all of your furniture, or just the front legs? Which size is best for your room? Can you go with a bold pattern?

If you need a little help picking your next area rug, this one’s for you. Swipe through for the “rules” I use with every client, from sizing to pile height, to the one thing people are tempted to skip, and click “save” for your next project.

If you’d rather skip the guesswork, click that link in bio, and let’s set up a discovery call.

Here's what working with me actually looks like:

I don't have a signature style, because my designs are about you, not a formula I'm running for every single project. But the process I use to get there is consistent, so here's what to expect:

We start with a discovery call: a relaxed conversation about your project, your vision, and what you're hoping to achieve.

From there, I come to your home or build site. We walk the space together, I take in the details, ask questions, and get a feel for how you actually live.

Then I get to work. I develop a design concept built around you, with space planning, material selections, and sourcing.

After that, I work with you until every detail feels exactly right.

Once you're happy, we move onto the next phase. That looks different depending on whether you're building new, renovating, or doing decor only, which we’ll talk through on that first call.

Two things are growing fast around here: the project list and the puppy.

On the business side, we’re about as full as I like to be. We have projects in nearly every stage, new work lining up, and I’m not complaining about any of it.

Then there’s Bennett.

He’s growing rapidly, and he is a challenge. A lovable one, but a challenge. I can design a home down to the last cabinet pull, but a willful puppy turns out to be a whole different discipline, so we brought in a trainer.

If you’ve raised a strong-willed puppy and lived to tell about it, I’m taking all your tips in the comments! In the meantime, swipe for a few of my favorite photos.

Sometimes a space just needs someone to see its potential.

This kitchen had everything in it; it just needed a little help embracing a new era.

Then let me know what you love most about the transformation!

"When should you actually bring a designer into your project?"

In an ideal world, from the beginning, as a full partner from start to finish.

When I have the entire picture, including your vision, timeline, and how you live in your space, I can approach everything holistically and make sure every decision works together from day one.

If you're not quite there yet, a consultation is a great place to start. Bring your questions, your plans, and your hesitations, and we'll make it count.
