Welcome, September!

I can’t believe we are officially at the start of a new month already! August was filled with new projects, amazing views, the IDS monthly event, and an inspiring visit to The Art of Banksy exhibit.

For those who don’t know me, I’m Alison, the owner of Alison Interior Designs, helping homeowners transform their spaces from concept to completion.

If you are a snowbird or second-home owner in Florida and have been thinking about a major renovation or building a new home in 2027, now is the time to start planning! Starting the design process this fall gives us time to develop your plans, select materials and finishes, and coordinate the details before the end of the year. This will allow you to be ready to move forward with construction in early 2027.

If you live out of state, having a designer you trust can make the process much easier. I can help manage the design details and selections while you are away, giving you peace of mind that your Florida home is moving forward even when you aren’t here.

We are currently accepting new clients for 2027 projects! If your Florida home is ready for a transformation, let’s start planning now.

Art and design are deeply interconnected, and this past weekend I had the opportunity to experience that connection firsthand while exploring the Art of Banksy exhibit at the Straz Center.

What made the experience especially interesting was how art and design came together throughout the space. The exhibit was held on the theater stage and the backstage areas, creating an immersive experience that transformed how you moved through and experienced the art.

Interior design is about so much more than making a space look beautiful. It is about how a space functions, how it feels, and the story it tells. For snowbirds and second home buyers, creating a home that feels personal, functional, and thoughtfully designed can make all the difference especially when you are trusting someone to help manage the details from afar.

If you are a snowbird or second home owner planning to renovate your Florida home, one of the most overwhelming parts of the process can be choosing all of the materials and finishes.

There are hundreds of options for tile, flooring, cabinetry, countertops, hardware, plumbing fixtures, lighting, paint colors, and more. Making sure all of those selections work together takes time, experience, and attention to detail.

As an Interior Designer, I help take that responsibility off your plate. I carefully select the materials and finishes for your renovation, creating a cohesive design while making the decisions for you. I preselect everything for you and only give you limited options to pick from.

For snowbirds and second home owners who may live out of state for part of the year, having a designer who can help manage these decisions is necessary and valuable.

Happy First Week of School to everyone in Florida!

With summer winding down and fall quickly approaching, now is the perfect time to start thinking about that full home renovation you have been putting off.

There is a common misconception that Interior Designers are just here to pick out pillows, furniture, and décor. The truth is, Interior Design is so much more especially when it comes to a complete home renovation.

I help guide my clients through the entire design process, from space planning and selecting flooring, cabinetry, countertops, tile, lighting, plumbing fixtures, paint, and finishes to coordinating all of the details that bring the vision together.

For snowbirds and second-home owners, renovating a Florida home can be even more challenging when you don’t live here year-round. Trying to manage a major renovation from another state can quickly become overwhelming.

That’s where I come in. My goal is to make the renovation process easier, more organized, and less stressful by handling the design decisions and details for you.

Thinking about renovating your entire Florida home?

Don’t wait until you’re ready to move in to start planning. Full home renovations take time, and getting started early is key to creating a home you will love when you return for the season.

Ready to finally tackle your renovation? Let's get started!

Art, Design & the Details That Make a House a Home!

I had a wonderful evening at the IDS event at Dean Street Gallery, surrounded by incredible artwork and fellow designers. Events like this are always a great opportunity to discover beautiful pieces, find inspiration, and connect with others in the design industry.

When designing a luxury home or condo, artwork is about so much more than simply filling an empty wall. Art is personal. It can reflect your travels, experiences, personality, and the things that have meaning to you.

As an Interior Designer, my goal is to bring all of those elements together to create a beautiful home that feels sophisticated, cohesive, and uniquely yours.

If you are furnishing a high end condo, second home, or luxury residence and want a home that feels thoughtfully designed from start to finish, I would love to help bring your vision to life.

Are you a snowbird or second home Owner? If You’ve Been Putting Off Your Remodel, August Is the Time to Start!

It is hard to believe we are already in August! If you’ve been dreaming about remodeling your Florida home but haven’t taken the first step, now is the time to get started.

My name is Alison and I am the owner of Alison Interior Designs, and I help homeowners navigate the entire interior design process from start to finish.

For snowbirds and second-home owners who live out of state, remodeling can feel really overwhelming. You are not here to make daily decisions, coordinate selections, or keep up with all of the details that go into a successful renovation.

While your contractor plays an important role in the construction process, designing and managing the details of your home is what I do. From space planning and finishes to tile, cabinetry, lighting, furnishings, and final selections, I help bring all of the pieces together to create a cohesive home you will love.

Hiring an interior designer is an investment, but it can save you valuable time, money, and stress especially when you aren’t living locally.

If you are a snowbird or second-home owner planning to remodel your Florida home, don’t wait until you’re ready to return. Getting started now gives us time to thoughtfully plan your project before construction begins.

When designing a beach condo or second home, every square foot matters. Many vacation homes have limited space, so thoughtful design is essential to make them feel larger, more functional, and more enjoyable for family and guests.

For this beach condo renovation, we took a creative approach by reconfiguring the walls between the living room and primary bedroom to create a custom banquette dining area. This unique solution provided a dedicated dining space while allowing the table to be tucked away, opening up the main living area and making the condo feel more spacious.

As a full service Interior Designer, I don't just select finishes and furnishings, I look for innovative ways to improve how a home functions while maximizing your investment. For snowbirds and second home owners who aren't local, having an experienced designer oversee these important decisions can make the renovation process much smoother and ensure every inch of your home is used intentionally.

If you are planning to renovate your beach condo or vacation home, I'd love to help you create a space that's both beautiful and highly functional. Contact us today to schedule your discovery call!

We guide you through every step of the design process, coordinate with your contractor, help you make confident investment decisions, and ensure every detail is thoughtfully planned even when you are miles away.

One of the easiest ways to elevate a home's design is by incorporating custom trim molding.

Trim molding does much more than frame a wall, it adds architectural character, creates visual interest, and gives a space a polished, custom look. Thoughtfully placed molding can make ceilings appear taller, define focal points, and bring balance and proportion to a room. It is one of those timeless design details that can significantly enhance both the beauty and perceived value of your home.

The best part? Trim molding complements nearly every design style, from coastal and transitional to traditional and modern, making it a worthwhile investment that will never go out of style.

If you are thinking about renovating your home this year, now is the perfect time to start planning. Let's create a home that's beautiful, functional, and designed specifically for the way you live.
