New Year 2019

Oct18073 Combining Spirituality with Avant-Garde Modern Design Style It’s no small feat, in the modern design sphere, to be able to distinguish yourself from hundreds of competitors, and yet, that is exactly what Shanley Walker has accomplished. Tying together mindfulness and spirituality with clean, post-modern elegant design choices, her spaces become almost reminiscent of Scandinavian minimalism, with a thoroughly American rural twist. To start, Shanley offers some insight into her unique perspective: “Trends come and go, and can be exciting, but we always aim to remain classic, whilst maintaining a fresh approach. One of my priorities as Principal Designer is to be thoroughly involved in every decision in every project.” Regardless of project budget or size, Shanley ensures that she remains hands on, working alongside the client to realise their creative vision. “I provide guidance every step of the way throughout the process”, she adds. Residential designers find success through their ability to truly capture, in their own style, the client. Their memories, interests, hobbies, lifestyles and experiences are all etched into the very walls of their home, permeating the atmosphere. It takes a real talent to rework these elements into something fresh, revitalising and reenergising. But again, this is where Shanley’s work truly shines through. The conversation soon moves on to industry developments, namely, the growing role of technology in everyday design processes. For Shanley Walker Interior Design, technology has freed design and opened up a plethora of new possibilities for the proactive designer. “Technological advancements have removed noted limitation in design, allowing endless brilliant ideas to manifest. We utilise outside vendors to assist in the multitude of new technological options available.” LUXLife Magazine recognised Shanley Walker Interior Design for the firm’s individuality and creative spark. Where others chase after the latest trends and fashions, Shanley trusts her intuition and talent for creating clean, classic spaces that are timeless, transcending the latest fashions. Shanley Walker Interior Design (SWID) specializes in intimate, traditional residential projects in the Tri- State Area. In October, SWID was recognised in LUXLife Magazine’s ongoing 2018 Leading Designer Awards programme was the ‘Best Home Design Company in New Jersey’.
