The Silicon Review contacted Susan Semmelmann, founder of Susan Semmelmann Interiors, for her comments about how the firm is making a difference in this segment and plans to stay at the forefront. Below is an excerpt.

“We’ve 70 projects currently in the works, which is beyond humbling. But it isn't an overnight success story. When I launched my brand in March of 2019, I brought 23 years of experience in design and construction to the table. Armed with my experience and a crystal-clear vision, I stepped out in faith to begin my new adventure with zero clients and a handful of employees willing to join my journey. Our numbers quickly increased, and fast-forward to our current need to hire more designers and key staff to manage our growing client list. It's been a steep learning curve, but worth every minute.”

“Our team envisions and creates beautiful one-of-a-kind feature elements that can be incorporated into a home during the construction phase of design. Floor-to-ceiling feature walls, fireplace surrounds, ceiling details, cabinetry, tile design, and integrated lighting are a few examples of our construction detailing options.”

“Notably, we recently completed an industrial-style project with a stunning copper range hood – it was sketched on a napkin and brought to life! This level of creative vision makes each home we design like no other.”

“Importantly, we offer an in-house line of gorgeous custom drapery and bedding with luxury fabrics hand-picked by our team and purchased directly from the mills. These fabrics are also used in endless styles and combinations for custom upholstery of sofas, chairs, and accent pillows to create a seamless look that is perfectly polished and beautifully buttoned-up. For clients with a specific design in mind, we manufacture beds, benches, ottomans, headboards, and ottoman coffee tables as part of our exclusive offering. We custom craft these pieces to each client's size, style, design, and material specifications. In other words, if you can dream it, we can build it!”
