Interior designer Emily Hewett and her decorating team at A Well Dressed Home create runway-ready spaces in the Dallas area.
Emily spent seven years working for an interior design firm, but she was still eager to find ways to express her own sensibilities. After starting a blog in 2010, she received so many emails from readers asking for help with their homes that she started her own business, A Well Dressed Home. Her business grew rapidly, and she hired fellow designer Alli Walker in 2012.
From her first project until now, Emily has always had a penchant for putting together lovely sleeping spaces for her clients. “I most enjoy designing bedrooms,” she says. “Be it a master bedroom or a kids room, there is just something about creating a sanctuary or a retreat that gets me excited!”
Though she favors calm, sophisticated neutrals, Emily has not lost her flair for the dramatic. After working closely with clients to select the proper style and elements, Emily and her team work tirelessly to assemble the puzzle pieces into a complete look all at once.
She especially enjoys the reveal. “We have one huge day during which we install all the furniture, rugs, art, window treatments, and more,” she explains. “We also accessorize and add finishing touches, such as fresh flowers and candles.”
To add to the excitement, Emily often asks the homeowners to leave during the installation and return to see their newly designed space. “It is such an emotional moment for the clients, and we love seeing their sincere reaction,” says Emily. “There are often tears and lots of hugs. That is the best part of our job—no doubt!”
