Designers We Love: AHG Interiors

How would you describe your design process?

My first step is always to listen to the client and hear their story. I always remind my homeowners that I close the door and their home has to represent them, how they live and want to live. After that, I do a walkthrough and start with floor plans, then move to designing. When designing, I always try to offer something new, whether it comes to a design approach or the movement in a room. I always ask myself what is next. How can I think about this home in a way that hasn't been done before? What can I offer, and how would I want to live there if it was my home? I treat all my client's homes as my homes. Why I love residential design, it becomes personal, and I love being connected to my homeowners and getting to know them.

What about the spaces you design make it feel like home?

The repeating compliment I got is that from looking at all potential designer portfolios, I have the most livable homes in my portfolio, and almost always, their favorites are my own homes!

I try to design homes that look lived in, have a story, and that you can put your feet up. Maybe that's why?

What's the best piece of advice you've ever received? 

If it doesn't work out it doesn't mean that it won't, it just means you have to take a different path.
