Starting your own company takes guts, passion and a strong vision. Luckily for Redesign Interiors, our Founder and Head Designer has all three in spades. After completing her degree in 2010, Paige Waplington wasted no time pursuing her dream of owning her own business.

By the very next year, Paige opened the proverbial doors of Redesign Interiors – while getting married and having her first ..read more

Of course, you want your home’s design to be just right.  Must it be trendy? Perhaps. Styled to reflect your taste? Absolutely. Getting the design looking like an interior designer did it while staying within your budget is a big job. Sometimes, it takes a whole team to oversee the work on one small building.

It overlooks a valley and the large windows are enchanting. Once they move in, it becomes clear that parts of the house don’t work well with their lifestyle. There ..read more
