Summer may be coming to an end, but a room styled by Ruthie Sommers will last a lifetime. Her impeccably chic approach to design is part refreshing, enchanting and fantastically bold. You can tell she designs her spaces with her clients’ interests in mind. She can create a room that is feminine, masculine, youthful, or traditional. It is this expansive variety of design talent that sets Sommers apart.

While her spaces are beautiful, they are also approachable. That is often a dilemma in decor. How to create interiors that showcase the lifestyle of the people who live in them. Her website bio states it best, “My goal is not to have people remark at parties that Ruthie designed the most amazing aubergine lacquered room. But it is to hear that they were treated carefully, honestly, and creatively.” From the looks of the rooms below, I think she accomplished just that.
