| “Great
style does not depend on great affluence. With know-how,
creativity and an excellent design eye, beautiful, comfortable
rooms are within everyone’s reach.” states
Interior Designer, Enid Dachs.
Enid
was born into what she describes as ‘this fabulous
and creative field’. Her family had an upholstery
business where she played with mixing and matching fabrics
for her father. She was fascinated with the colors,
patterns and textures and how to put them together to
achieve interesting and pleasing effects.
Like
many people, Enid had several other careers before returning
to the one that had always seemed the most enjoyable
and natural to her. Along the way she earned masters
degrees from New York University and Columbia University,
but she most treasures her degree from Parsons School
of Design.
Enid
began her design career in 2002 as owner of a franchise
business positioned to make professional décor
services accessible to the busy homeowner. After many
successful engagements that provided a significant client
and referral base, in 2009, she launched a firm under
her own name. She has retained the fundamental philosophy
of accessibility while putting her personal design and
business principles front and center.
Her
own home in Norwalk, Connecticut is the canvas where
she experiments with color, fabric and furnishings.
She counts among her creative muses for her personal
interiors her husband Stephen – who also assists
her with client installations -- and their two unique
dogs, half black Labrador/half Basset Hound. |
