Nicole Yee, from NY Interiors in Oakland, California, is our November Member Spotlight! Read more about her design journey here.
“According to the baby book my parents saved from 1970, my favorite toy as a toddler was a measuring tape. So I think perhaps I’ve always been an interior designer — though I took a crooked path to hanging up my shingle. I started out as a photographer and ended up a Vice President of Marketing. After ten years on a steep climb up the corporate ladder, I longed for a more creative gig. The stars aligned for me in 2005 when I was able to combine my business savvy with my life long love of interiors and open my own firm.”

Sure, we're not about to buy a brand new bedroom set every season, but there are still ways we can work trends into the spaces we've slowly curated over the years to make them feel fresh and current.

While there are no hard and fast "rules" for interior design, there have been several tips that have become accepted as best practices in the design scope and have become second nature.
