TBT: Dressing French Doors & A Peek Inside My Design Diary | Uploft Interior Design
In this throwback episode of the Uploft Interior Design, I’m tackling the surprisingly tricky question of how to dress French doors, including why I’d skip traditional drapes on a contemporary front entry and consider sleek custom cellular blinds instead. I also take you inside my design diary and share what I’ve been working on with a longtime client, from spotting serious space and storage challenges in a potential $3 million Manhattan apartment to helping him pivot to a rental with a much better footprint—and walking into one of the messiest apartments I’ve encountered in years along the way. It’s a mix of practical design advice, behind-the-scenes client stories, and a candid look at what life as an interior designer can really be like.
