For
twenty years Linda Heinzelman has been known for her intelligent
designs featuring strong clean lines that blur the boundaries between
traditional and modern. Her design philosophy features a refined
use of materials especially antiques from differing periods, sophisticated
color and strong signature pieces. “I create timeless interiors
that will look great 10 year from now.”
As
a designer Linda considers the most important aspect of her job
to be marrying the site to the expectations of the client. “When
I begin a project I start by standing in the room and visualizing
exactly how this room will be used. A beautiful room that is never
used hasn’t been designed correctly.”
Linda
Heinzelman studied at the Parsons School of Design and started her
career in her hometown of New York City. In 1989, spurred on by
the birth of her daughter she moved to Westport CT, where her practice
continued to flourish. The influx of New Yorkers that occurred during
that time created a demand for a look that wasn't “Laura Ashley”
anymore.
Linda
Heinzelman’s versatility is shown in the extensive client
list that includes projects as diverse as elegant New York apartments
to sprawling family homes, beach houses in the Hamptons, executive
offices and small hotels. Linda scours the flea markets of Paris
twice a year looking for unique pieces to bring to her projects
Her
work has been featured In W Magazine, Westport Magazine, Home and
Garden, WRG Homes, and is a contributor to local and national stories
