Margaret Pook Interior Design
Margaret Pook Interior Design LLC has been in business since 2000. Classically trained in Interior Design, Margaret (who goes by Peggy) loves the complexity of gathering pieces over time, layering antiques and artwork with well proportioned furnishings. A home should look curated, not decorated. Whether the design request is for a traditional interior or a modern interior; proportion, elegance and practicality reign in my design world.
A well designed home should reflect the owner and look curated, not decorated.

She not only focuses on the beauty of the space, but also on making sure that function and comfort harmonize.

“I have learned to listen for the smallest details that matter the most to my clients,” she says. And when those big reveals happen at the end of a project, the smiles on her clients’ faces are worth every ounce of the creativity and hard work it took to get there. “Full-service design for me,” she notes, is from concepts to the last detail being placed.”
In a world full of designers, Wandra aims to be the person whose engaging, positive attitude and passion for what she does shine through in every client interaction and in every project they trust her with.
