ROBIN WALL

DESIGN CONSULTANT – LEWES, DE

Office Hours: S, M, Tu, Th, Fr

Robin has over 30 years of design consulting experience and enjoys the excitement and challenges of working on residential, builder-model homes as well as commercial sites.  She has been a resident of Lewes for over 10 years and passionately works with every client to help them discover their unique coastal flare.

Her design approach on every project, small and large, is to work closely with clients to determine what their needs & desires are so all their expectations can be met.

That process usually begins with space planning, choosing paint colors, furniture selections for their home, reviewing window treatment options then continuing through the space until they get to the final flourishing-touch of accessories.

Robin derives great pleasure from showing clients how to mix and match fabrics, finishes, textures and styles to create the space they have always dreamed of.
