Rebekah Correll - TRANSPARENT INTERIORS
Envision a fresh perspective on your own style, within your space and how that would feel. theClubhou.se member, Rebekah Correll, assists clients in achieving that, with her business Transparent Interiors. She helps clients by developing interior designs, which she likens to experiential art. She says, “The home should reflect those who live there.” With that in mind, Rebekah set the course for providing people access to affordable interior design which puts them at the center of the process.
Rebekah studied Interior Architecture and Design at Samford University and was always in the studio. She said, “We had a very tight-knit community in the design department, and we all loved working on our projects together!” Following graduation, Rebekah landed in Charlotte, and began working part-time for a large E-design company, while searching for a full-time role in traditional design firm.
Over the course of a year with the company, Rebekah discovered she loved working remotely. Specifically, in residential design. “During my time with the large E-design company,” Rebekah shared, “I realized that the online design process had a lot of room for improvement, so I decided to build my own company and create a better design for more personal product for clients .”
While the business is now technically located in Augusta, GA, being an online service enables Rebekah to work with clients from anywhere in the world. Rebekah explains, “If you have access to the internet, I can work with you! I use a fast and simple process that is personal, but also affordable. This gives my clients a great design in just three weeks. The process also includes a realistic rendering of the newly designed space, so clients can see exactly what their design will look like before making any purchases or changes.”
Rebekah begins the process with establishing the inspiration, and needs of the space. The floor plan is to reflect the client’s personality and the intended functionality of the space. The next step is the Mood Board which is comprised of the sourced items, the main focus of the room, and this establishes an overall design. All of this gets factored into the Design Board Rendering which Rebekah feels is groundbreaking for helping clients to visualize the space. Rebekah then delivers an Implementation Plan to the client, with installation guides.
Once a client has the design, they have the flexibility to work with the recommendations and their budget. Rebekah wants people to understand, “design can be accessible. Hiring a designer does not mean you do not have your own style. Like a personal trainer, hiring a professional designer to assist you allows the process to be less time-consuming, stressful and expensive. ” A recent husband and wife client required the delicate balance of handling opposing styles. The wife had a West-Coast-mixed-with-modern style, and the husband was more traditional. Rebekah loved the challenge and was able to successfully combine their stylistic personalities.
When asked how working out of theClubhou.se has been helpful, she states, “Working out of theClubhou.se has been more helpful than I could have ever expected! The Startup Life program has not only given me fantastic resources: mentors, food, opportunities, but has also given me an invaluable community. The group at theClubhou.se has been a support team while I have grown my company and has offered me chances to learn from so many people who have gone before me and have been so successful.”
Considering the challenges associated with entrepreneurship, Rebekah explained, “Time is a precious resource. Being able to invest my time in something I am so passionate about, is such a gift. Being able to devote myself to creating something that will inspire and benefit people, has been so rewarding.”
