Heather Garrett Interior Design

Heather Garrett Interior Design Designing interiors for the Modern South, in NC and beyond.

Heather Garrett Interior Design, located in Durham NC, specializes in full service, turn-key residential projects in NC and across the US. Heather also assists those looking to buy and sell property in NC, as a broker with New Durham Realty. In 2001, Heather moved to Durham NC from NYC, where she had attended Parsons for interior design and honed her skills under the tutelage of French designer Ro

bert Couturier. The change prompted Heather, who then opened her own firm, to fine-tune an ability working within a variety of interior styles and settings…from French Modern to Southern Traditional. She has happily developed an accessible, signature style which combines practicality (kids, pets, and red wine are facts of life!) with a variety of sophisticated surface texture – plaster, hide, velvet, linen – and extraordinary lighting. Heather’s belief in organic ornamentation (that nothing made by man is as beautiful as that found in nature) helps define her spaces as living and subtly grounded. Named one of Traditional Home’s “New Trad Designer’s” on the rise in 2013, Heather’s interior design work has been published in Traditional Home, Elle Decor, Food & Wine, Rue, Southern Living, and Garden & Gun.

Inside this month — leave it to me, in the color issue, to pay home age to my favorite gray🤩. But it’s a perfect foundation I can’t ignore…simultaneously rich and fresh, warm and cool; it’s got a great body, what can I say? And the shagreen finish by is a perfect pairing. Build a great color story on that!

Dining room glam (with outdoor-grade velvet on those chairs, so bring on the spills). And we love the shock of color amidst the otherwise subdued palette (doubling the unexpected!).

October stands for install! We work with so many skilled designers and vendors, but these guys have been solid gold. Melissa is responsible for assembling the beautiful things we install, and over 15 years we’ve worked to develop a shared visual vernacular. I benefit every day from Emily’s innate curiosity, ability to absorb information at lightning speed, and versatility. Brittany is a project manager’s manager…keeping us on track, orders on schedule, and coffee always on the way — with a smile! Here’s to teamwork.

Does anything feel more like summertime than getaways on the shore? We had the privilege of working with North Carolina clients rebuilding their generational home on Lake Michigan, and this cottage is open for season! While carefully focusing design intent around the family heirlooms they’d preserved, we introduced some very current frivolity:). Sharing a few outtakes, with more to come…
