Meet Emily Hiott: A Creative Force at SouthPark Interiors

Delivering spaces that tell a story

Creativity + Vision

Emily Hiott, VP and Director of Design at SouthPark Interiors, brings a unique blend of creativity and vision to every project. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for blending old and new, Emily consistently delivers spaces that tell a story and evoke a sense of harmony. Her ability to draw inspiration from a variety of sources ensures that her designs are always fresh, innovative, and deeply personal.

Finding Inspiration in Unexpected Places, According to Emily

Inspiration can strike at any moment, whether it’s during a peaceful walk in the woods, while enjoying a cocktail at a new spot, or even during meetings with our vendors as they showcase new products. Of course, scrolling through the millions of Instagram posts on various topics also provides a wealth of ideas. Here are a few individuals and groups outside of our typical design space that inspire me both in my designs and personally:

Admiring Their Craft

What draws me to these designers and bloggers is their ability to create images that tell a compelling story. I have a particular fondness for masculine designs that seamlessly blend the old with the new, incorporating deep, saturated colors and rich textures. Each of these designers excels in creating spaces that feel both lived-in and luxurious, with perfectly executed millwork details and an overarching sense of balance and harmony.

Translating Inspiration into Reality

Inspiration often finds its way into my own work in unexpected ways. For instance, the color palette for a project might be inspired by the presentation of a beautifully plated dish, or a photograph from Morocco might spark the idea for a unique tile pattern in a new installation. These influences help me to continuously evolve and push the boundaries of my designs, ensuring that each space I create is both unique and reflective of the latest trends and timeless aesthetics.

A Functional Approach

Emily’s approach to design is all about finding beauty in the unexpected and bringing those elements together to create spaces that are both functional and inspiring. At SouthPark Interiors, we are committed to turning our clients’ visions into reality, one beautifully designed space at a time.
