You’re not going to find any shy, demure rooms in the online portfolio of interior designer Miles Redd. Raised in the South, there’s a certain dramatic, flamboyant flair that exudes from every corner of each space Redd has designed. But it’s not an annoying flamboyance; rather, sitting in a room designed by Redd is like being paid a visit by the loud and exciting Aunt who was on Broadway. We unabashedly love it all.
As you might imagine, bright colors, sumptuous textures and dramatic details summarize many of Redd’s interiors. The man certainly knows how to dial up the luxury. His clients surely are the kind who want a home that makes a statement, a home where when guests first arrive they gasp in surprise. The kind of home where, though comfort is no doubt achieved, it’s not the main thrust of the design theme. And yes, no doubt these sorts of spaces have colorfully described themes that carry throughout the entire house.
It’s not surprising to see a room wallpapered from floor to ceiling with big, bold black and white stripes in Redd’s portfolio. Giant Greek columns used as 6 foot tall plant stands are no stranger, either. A bed simply isn’t a bed unless it is topped with a large canopy, and pink isn’t an accent color to be used sparingly, it’s a wall color that coordinates with just about anything.
His design choices can’t take all the credit, it seems Redd is lucky enough to find clients with exquisite tastes in architecture, for the homes he decorates usually have strong traditional bones with delightfully charming architectural details; a great starting place for Redd’s animated designs. This is not to say that every room Redd decorates looks like the set of a movie; we see plenty of subdued and simple spaces in his portfolio. You could say he knows when to let the eye take a visual break.
Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Miles Redd exhibits that underlying
je ne sais quois that only Southern designers possess. We’re not implying that Southern designers are better than other designers, but they certainly have a knack for making a house a home. He went to school for film in New York, but found himself more interested in set design. That’s when he started working for an antiques dealer named John Rosselli.
He was later hired by the famed Bunny Williams decorator, where he was a great shopper and design assistant. After some travel and casually decorating his friends’ apartment in Manhattan, Redd opened his own design office in 1998 in Noho. He set the bar early for being able to design in a number of different styles, making him an asset to many potential clients. He’s had the pleasure of working on projects all over the country, and his work has found fans in magazines like
New York Magazine, Vogue, House Beautiful, Elle Décor, House & Garden, W, and Country Life. In 2003, Redd was named creative director of Oscar de la Renta Home. Check out more images on his
