Who is Divine Living Interiors?
DLI is a fresh, fun and innovative interior design firm that shows that great design is obtainable. You should surround yourself with beautiful things, and I believe you should start with your home.

What service do you provide?
DLI provides color consultations, space planning, one room designs or entire home projects, renovations and new construction material selections, custom window treatments and bedding designs… and Holiday Decorating.

Why did you decide to start a business?
I started my business because I LOVE every aspect of design and I wanted to share my passion with people. I saw a need for a design company in my area that made design approachable and livable.

How did you get started?
I was constantly changing my home because I wanted a beautiful place for me and family. I had changed my family room color 3 times in 1 1/2 years! So, I decided that before I could touch another gallon of paint, I had to figure this whole design thing out. I researched everything I could about color, space planning, fabrics… pretty much anything and everything design related. I decided that I just needed to go to school and get a degree in design, so that’s what I did!

What would you have done differently in the beginning?
I might have had someone partner with me, because I just get too excited when I pick out new items for clients! It would be great to have someone to share design with that loves it like me… besides my husband.

What advice would you offer to someone just getting started?
My advice would be to make a list of your goals and what your company means to you and never deviate… it’s easy to get off track when you have a paying client, but remember why you started your business and stick too it!
