Meet The Designer
My name is Madeleine Banks and I live and work in West Houston. My design studio has helped clients create their dream home since early 2017.
My firm works for clients and builders creating beautiful homes.
Our vision statement is: "We are passionately dedicated and devoted to creating our clients dream home."
This statement says all about how we work. From deeply researching our clients needs, style, budget and ultimately their vision, to executing their project with perfection.
To help with this, we have developed a step by step plan to carry a project from A to Z. This ensures that all the little details are considered. We understand that our clients have different design needs and therefor offer different ways to work with us. Please read for further information under the tab called: "Services" on our website. We offer a 2 hour consultation for clients who need a little bit of help, and up to a full turnkey interior design project where we take care of everything.
I grew up in Sweden and have travelled all over the world for all my adult years, working as an airline stewardess plus my husbands work has taken us to many countries, where we set up our home.
This background together with a BA In Art History and a certificate in Interior Design formed me in my work as a designer and I appreciate all design styles we can find in different cultures. I find that most often, my clients prefer a modern and sophisticated design style, but of course I design in all styles. When I design, I take inspiration from the clients life, needs and the design style they love.
To deeply understand the project is very important to me.
Continuing education classes is something I enjoy and feel is very important. I take at least 2-3 classes per year of various design topics.
As a designer, I have developed relationships with various manufacturers and receive deep discounts for my clients. This is one way how we strech your budget.
We hope to earn the privilege of working with you to beautify your home!
Madeleine
