Designer Spotlight: Sharon Lee of Krane Home

Where are you based? Do you offer virtual design services?

I'm newly based in Dallas and loving it! Yes I just did an entire Monkey & Tiger bathroom for one of my favorite clients in Maine and she just received her Everhem woven wood roman shade to tuck underneath the custom Valance we made with Krane Home fabric!

Why Interior Design?

I fell into getting my Masters of Interior Architecture via fine art and set design which is rare. I love the fine details of interiors and how each space is such an intimate artistic expression of the people that live in it.

How would you define your design style?

New traditional with lots of pattern on pattern and color for days. Wallpaper & draperies in every room!

Where or who do you draw inspiration from?

I'm a third generation Korean artist and I draw inspiration from ancient Korean art, ceramics, textiles, wood cuts, clothing, hair ornaments, inlaid boxes, books, everything. I could spend hours in the Korean art wing at LACMA.

What is something you see your clients struggle with most when it comes to designing their homes?

When I do interior design I do it for clients who are looking for the Krane Home works - my art, art prints, wallpaper, fabric. We also help homeowners with Krane Home x Everhem draperies & roman shades anywhere in the U.S. The hardest part is probably choosing between wallpaper options since we offer so many! Once that is chosen, the rest just flows. We recommend taping up samples and living with it for a few days.

How do you tackle Window Treatments and what are some tips that have helped you figure out the perfect Window Treatments for your projects?

The first thing would be deciding between draperies and roman shades. If it's a single window in a bedroom, roman shade. If there are french doors leading outside or a large wall of windows I tend to prefer draperies. Two of my tips are when in doubt outside mount, and for draperies the higher the rod, the closer to g-d!

What are your favorite colors/fabrics Everhem offers? What room in a home would you style them in and why?

I love the new nursery collection! The soft colors and stripes coordinate so well with my own fabric and wallpaper line. If I have a less adventurous yet pattern loving client, I would suggest doing a bold wallpaper, and then select softer Everhem fabrics for the romans or draperies.

What is something you’re looking forward to in the next year both personally and professionally?

I'm really looking forward to collaborating with incredible women for anything and everything, and also giving back by doing some amazing art and design related initiatives with charities in Dallas such as Children's Cancer Fund, North Texas Food Bank, and Dwell with Dignity.
