Miranda McGovern, Senior Design Associate at The Tile Shop<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We sat down with Miranda McGovern, one of our Senior Design Associates, to learn more about her process when designing with clients. She gives us a glimpse of some of her latest projects with one of her long-time clients, Kris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miranda has been with The Tile Shop for just under three years. Throughout her tenure, Miranda has forged meaningful relationships with local designers and installers. Specifically, she has worked one-on-one with Kris on tile selections on a series of home flips. The relationship she has built with Kris allows her to have creative freedom when presenting selections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell us about your design relationship with Kris.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Each house with Kris is different. The first project she and I worked on together was her personal bathroom. We wanted it to be timeless elegance with a 1920\u2019s flare \u2014 it’s gorgeous. The most recent house we are working on now is what I call a ‘refined farmhouse.’ We used a lot of farmhouse aspects that take on a refined flair through polished marble and patterning.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want the people purchasing or staying in the home to do a few things:
1. Love the house for its character.
2. Make it an actual home full of love.
3.  Be proud of it because A LOT of work went into creating it.  – Miranda<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

How do you approach a project when working with a client?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I start my process by asking the client what overall style they want the house to portray. I then narrow down color and maintenance by asking a few more questions. Lastly, I design two different scenarios for them and make small changes in the design center for the client.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When working on a project, Miranda approaches the house as a whole. This allows her to include complimentary elements throughout to ensure there is a cohesive design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The homes that Miranda designs with Kris are typically older homes, since they primarily are partnering on home flips. Working with historic homes often come with a unique set of challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did designing this space present any challenges?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Designing a historic home always has a few challenges. I try to incorporate time appropriate items to add to the authenticity of the house. Since it is in an historic neighborhood, it just adds to the charm.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The creativity of the Tile Shop is what I love most. I get to come to work and create beautiful spaces that bring people genuine joy and excitement.  – Miranda<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Get to Know Miranda<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

How would you describe your design style?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My personal style is southwestern mixed with a little boho. I love the bright colors and layering that boho brings to the table and the prints and textures that a southwestern style does.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In your opinion, what should every home have?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In my opinion, every home should have a pet. I\u2019m an animal lover and have two fur babies myself.”  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are your go-to design tips?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Listen and trust your instincts. Don\u2019t be afraid to be bold.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where do you go for inspiration?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My team here at the tile shop and my social media followers. I will put a design together and get opinions on what I should change before I present it to Kris.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your favorite tile?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My favorite tile is probably the Glass Light Blu<\/a> or the Mr. Jones Charcoal<\/a>. I love how it can go with almost anything. If I had to pick a favorite stone, it would be the Africa Tempesta Marble<\/a>.”  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
