Stikwood: We love how you incorporate personality into the rooms you design. Tell us how Stikwood helps you achieve that.

Natalia: Stikwood helps us achieve so much! Adding personality to a space can mean lots of things and anytime I think of adding character, texture, dimension or creating a focal point Stikwood comes to mind because it accomplishes all of those goals.

Stikwood: What would you say is your “signature style”?

Natalia: Looking back at the spaces I have created so far I would say my signature style tends to be transitional with mixed metallics and the use of bold accent colors.

Stikwood: What was your favorite project using Stikwood products? What made it so special?

Natalia: My favorite project using stikwood was the leasing office at Ashley Lake Park Apartments in Boynton Beach, Florida. It was special to me because it was my first commercial project and after years of hard work I had the opportunity to design an entire space which included making selections for wall coverings.

Stikwood: What is your best piece of advice to offer someone who wants to redecorate a room on their own?

Natalia: To anyone who wants to redecorate a space I always recommend being extra mindful of scale. Measuring the space and the items being selected to ensure that they are the appropriate size. Not too big and not too small. I would also say make choices based on what you like, after all it’s your space!
