In Charleston, interior design coffee table books are more than just decoration. A beautiful photo book is the perfect companion for a slow afternoon in the bed swing with a pile of pillows and a glass of sweet tea. Inspiring coffee table books are also good places to get inspiration when you want to refresh your interiors just a little.

Home Tour: Refined Retreat
Today we’re excited to give you a home tour of one of our recent interior design projects in Charleston, South Carolina: A beautiful, refined retreat:
Margaret Donaldson Interiors Receives Four ASID Awards
We are happy to tell you that Margaret Donaldson Interiors received four ASID awards last month. These were some of our favorite projects, and we are very honored to be recognized for them.
Crypton: A New Performance Fabric for Charleston Living
A Charleston home and the next generation of performance fabric is a match made in heaven. You might remember the earlier versions of ultra-durable fabrics: Scratchy, stiff, and not at all nice to touch. However, they were a necessary evil in industrial office spaces, hospitals, and beach rentals. Lucky for us Lowcountry dwellers, things have drastically changed.
Tips for a Quick Summer Textile Refresh
With a new season comes the urge to refresh interior spaces to match. In winter, we bring warmth to chilly Charleston days with plenty of layers and soft, nubby textiles. In summer, we want summer textiles that are light, bright, fun, and crisp.
You can refresh your space for summer, or for an entire next chapter, with a creative summer textile makeover.
Warm Colors are Trending
Crisp, sophisticated whites, grays, and indigos have dominated interior design trends in the last few years. While these combinations never go out of style, warm colors are making their way into Charleston interiors. Driven by the popularity of blush pinks and rose gold, we’re seeing the addition of toasty mustards, deeper shades of rose, terra cotta, rust, and even salmon (a perennial Charleston favorite).
More Designing Dogs: Meet Rosie
Behind the best interior designers in Charleston are the best dog helpers. At Margaret Donaldson Interiors, we love our dogs (and our clients’ dogs) so much that we have a dog-friendly studio. Please meet Rosie.
Meet Designing Dog Willow!
It’s no secret that Margaret Donaldson Interiors loves dogs. Did you know that more than half the households in Charleston, SC have at least one dog?
MDI Sip & See
The “Sip & See” is MDI tradition. When one of our designers finishes a project, we cater a wine and cheese open house so the rest of our team can see the finished home and celebrate with the homeowners. It also allows Elizabeth, our accounting and business manager to get out of the office for once!
Delta Visits Hong Kong and Bangkok on a Golden Ticket
If you could fly anywhere in the world for free, where would you go? That’s the question our lead designer, Delta Amrhein, and her husband had to answer this year.
