With a new season comes the urge to refresh interior spaces to match. In winter, we bring warmth to chilly Charleston days with plenty of layers and soft, nubby textiles. In summer, we want summer textiles that are light, bright, fun, and crisp.
You can refresh your space for summer, or for an entire next chapter, with a creative summer textile makeover.
Crisp, sophisticated whites, grays, and indigos have dominated interior design trends in the last few years. While these combinations never go out of style, warm colors are making their way into Charleston interiors. Driven by the popularity of blush pinks and rose gold, we’re seeing the addition of toasty mustards, deeper shades of rose, terra cotta, rust, and even salmon (a perennial Charleston favorite).Read More
Behind the best interior designers in Charleston are the best dog helpers. At Margaret Donaldson Interiors, we love our dogs (and our clients’ dogs) so much that we have a dog-friendly studio. Of course you’ve met Margaret’s now famous furry-friend, Abby, and recently we wrote about Alex’s Labradoodle, Willow. There’s another important member of the team to introduce – please meet Rosie.
It’s no secret that Margaret Donaldson Interiors loves dogs. Did you know that more than half the households in Charleston, SC have at least one dog? It’s just one more thing that makes our city the best. Since her Houzz feature, Abby has been hogging the attention around the office, so we thought we’d introduce you to another of our fuzzy mascots, Willow.
The “Sip & See” is MDI tradition. When one of our designers finishes a project, we cater a wine and cheese open house so the rest of our team can see the finished home and celebrate with the homeowners. It also allows Elizabeth, our accounting and business manager to get out of the office for once!
Hi, it’s Abby, Margaret’s Golden Retriever and unofficial mascot at MDI. Sometimes when the team is out with a client, I help with the blog. I know, I know…dogs can’t type. I hear that a lot from our readers. Obviously I can’t type, but there’s nothing stopping me from using dictation software. Hello? I’m a problem solver.Read More
