Margaret Zainey Roux's interiors are as diverse as the fascinating facades that grace the unique neighborhoods of her hometown of New Orleans. Some spaces whisper an air of fancy typical of the grand Greek Rival homes of the Garden District while others exude that artsy vibe found among the colorful Creole cottages of the Bywater. But Margaret is perhaps best known for the eclectic, innovative and affordable spaces she creates for a new generation of homeowners and collectors. Under one roof, she artfully marries period pieces with flea market finds, abstract paintings with antique prints, and pairs sea grass with silk to achieve a look that is comfortably chic and never contrived.
How does she do this? A journalist by profession, Margaret "edits" a room much like she edits words on page. She redefines spaces by "punctuating" them with custom pillows and slipcovers or eye-catching accessories. Having spent nearly 10 years producing and styling photo shoots on interior design for various publications, Margaret remains in the know when it comes to design trends, and has worked hand-in-hand with nationally and locally renown interior designers, showrooms and shopkeepers to deliver fresh looks to a readers and clients alike.
