Interior designer Kristin Harrison shares her favorite spring finds.
“I could create a house I would personally want to live in 100 times, but I’m not the one who’s going to be residing there—it’s a personal experience to design a home. Therefore, we make it a personal relationship so every client knows they’re well respected and taken care of,” says interior designer Kristin Harrison about her approach to working with clients. The celebrated founder and principal designer at Georgia & Hunt Design Home (@georgiaandhunt), formerly Bungalow 10 Interiors, is revered for her aesthetic mix of California cool with a hint of the Cotswolds.
“I’m loving deeper colors right now,” says Harrison. “I’m into plums, ambers, walnuts, dark veiny marbles and saturated greens. It gives such a rich, moody look to spaces, and I’m greatly enjoying playing with those aspects in a room.” Here, Harrison shares her favorite ways to enliven any space this spring.
