About Inspired Designs by Calie

A graduate of the New York Institute of Art and Design in Interior Design.

“As much as I’m creative through and through, I’m also very structured and enjoy schedules and organization. With a background in Nutrition from Idaho State University where I managed diets for patients for many years but found myself wanting to know more about the commercial side of the businesses…mostly design.

In 2017, I began working closely with the Blackwell Boutique Hotel, Art Gallery, and Restaurant/ Bar in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, as well as commercial & residential properties in Austin, Texas, and Boise, Idaho, designing and managing.

Now a designer, and owner of “Inspired Designs by Calie”, I focus on creating exquisite spaces for guests and companies to create their own memories in and feel at home when they are away from home. I especially love consulting and designing for hotel and Airbnb spaces. My passion is sharing the power of beautiful interiors that spark joy, and wellness. When guests feel wonderful in a space you have created, you have given them a gift.

A little more about me: I love traveling, fitness, and spending time with my partner, kids, and friends. Life is good!”

Embark on your design journey with a personalized interior design consultation. My free 1 hour, consultation serves as the crucial starting point, where I take the time to understand your vision, preferences, and goals, discussing layout possibilities, color palettes, and design styles. This interactive exchange allows me to tailor our expertise to your unique needs, ensuring that the resulting design aligns seamlessly with your lifestyle and aspirations. Let’s collaborate to bring your dreams to life, one consultation at a time.

Collaborating with me for brainstorming interior design ideas is an exhilarating creative process. I begin by immersing myself in your vision, discussing your preferences, inspirations, and desired ambiance. Sharing any existing design elements or images that resonate with you can provide valuable insight. I then draw from my expertise to present innovative concepts, suggesting unique color palettes, materials, furniture arrangements, and decor themes that align with your vision. As we exchange ideas, we encourage open dialogue, embracing your feedback and insights to further refine the direction. Together, we embark on a journey of exploration and discovery, crafting a design that harmonizes aesthetics, functionality, and emotional resonance, resulting in a space that is distinctly yours.

When you entrust me with your vision, every detail, from layout to color scheme, furnishings to decor, is thoughtfully considered to craft a cohesive and functional space that exceeds expectations. Through a fusion of creativity and technical expertise, I bring your aspirations to life, ensuring that the final design not only resonates with your style but also enhances the way you live, work, or play within the environment. I take pride in turning consultations into captivating, tailored designs that leave a lasting impression.

My interior design process thrives on iteration, a continuous cycle of refining and perfecting to create exceptional spaces. Starting with a client’s vision and needs, I craft an initial concept that serves as a foundation. Through a collaborative exchange of ideas and feedback, this concept evolves, each iteration bringing us closer to the ideal design. This iterative approach ensures that the final design is not just a product of expertise but a result of an ongoing dialogue that crafts a space that is truly exceptional, functional, and uniquely tailored to each individual.
