About

At Gilded Hearth Interiors we don’t subscribe to a style but rather the ethos that home is a feeling. Our goal is to imbue that intangible essence into our clients’ spaces. Your home should tell your story, not the designers. We weave what you love and how you live into the form and function of your home creating an elevated yet authentic sense of self in your surroundings.

​

Our process is simple yet fluid and catered to the individual needs of the home and the client. We also like to have fun and take risks, and our ideal clients do too. Our designs genuinely feel you and not some copy and paste home that feels inauthentic or “on brand”. We want to fill your home with intentional and soulful choices so that no matter your style preferences your home feels timeless but with a twist.

"Emily was super helpful and acted as a pragmatic sounding board in discussing and going through ideas about how to spruce up my new home. She provided expert perspective on how "big of a deal" certain cosmetic renovation projects would be, which will be helpful in planning my projects and budget. She shared some specific lay-outs, paint colors, and furniture / lighting designers I never heard of before, and definitely will be taking into consideration going forward!"

"I really enjoyed my consult with Emily and it satisfied my needs. She had reviewed the document I'd put together beforehand, so we were able to get right to work! She made sure to answer all of my specific questions, and she sent a bunch of links to products she suggested. They weren't really our style, but for just a singular hour-long consult I don't think I could demand much more. She helped fill in some of the gaps I was feeling and I feel confident moving forward with her tips in mind."
