A groundbreaking showcase of the talent, vision, determination, and impact of today’s leading Black interior designers.
"I’m that designer who treats every room like a canvas for a vibrant splash of paint, where 'subtle' is a concept as foreign as a quiet carnival."
"When selecting wall sconces for your space, consider the overall aesthetic and functionality,"
"Next year will bring about a deeper awareness of our spaces and the impact they have on our emotions and wellbeing."
"Remember to plot out the area you're illuminating before purchasing your lights. 'Take a piece of cord and string it where you'd like to hang the lights,' "
"However, Marie Cloud of Indigo Pruitt in Fort Mill, South Carolina, finds that the options at Macy’s are worth writing home about."
“When picking pillowcases, go for natural materials like cotton or linen for comfort and breathability,”
“Dark colors can create intimacy, drama or serenity, depending on the room’s purpose. I always balance them with lighter tones and layered textures to make the space feel inviting, not overwhelming.”
"Design is a language, It’s how we communicate who we are, what we value, and how we want to feel in the world. For me, it’s never just about the look, it’s about the experience. Good design can ground us, uplift us, and help us feel more at home in our own lives.”
“The blue quartzite really is my favorite element… I fell in love with that colorway. It’s a little nod to that indigo historical element and that stands to test the time.”
"One of my big design resolutions is to use my talents and gifts to serve the homeless community and encourage others in our industry to do the same. I think our love for the essence of home should drive us to help others experience it."
“Next year will bring about a deeper awareness of our spaces and the impact they have on our emotions and wellbeing. We will see more spaces that have personality and personal ties to interests, hobbies and pleasures of its owner.”
"A consistent palette with walls and bookcases in the same color family absolutely balances and anchors a room,"
"The use of mirrors is an easy way you can disperse and scatter existing natural light into other areas within a space,"
"Just go buy a table and call it a day. Oh, and be sure to grab one that will not be out of style within a year or so!"
“The goal should be to create a space that reflects who you are and gives you a foundation for what your style may evolve into,”
"Mid Tones and Darker tones of green work harmoniously with the neutrals, giving rooms an open, airy feeling which is 'subtle in tone, but robust in appeal.' "
“A painted black ceiling is a great way to get the conversation started if you like to throw a lot of dinner parties!”
“Hands down, my current cozy spot is a corner in my office. This corner features an oversized chair nesting perfectly under a gallery wall."
“The best styling advice I’ve been given was to never underestimate the power of negative space within an area. The perfect balance of negative space gives breath to your design elements. Too much of it can make the space feel empty and incomplete. Too little makes it feel overcrowded and busy. I see negative space as a reset button for the next item that your eye will catch.”
Marie Cloud, Principal of Indigo Pruitt Design Studio is sharing her journey with us today. Her firm is located in Charlotte, NC. Among numerous features, Marie has been recently been featured on TV via the local news on Spectrum News 1 and on their website showing her home and discussing the growth in business since the pandemic began.

Marie is known for her blended-styled approach to aesthetics. For undergrad, she decided to pursue a design degree after recounting moments from her childhood.

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Marie Cloud a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation.

This year, Marie is featured at the Atlanta Homes & Lifestyle Southeastern Designer Showhouse & Gardens and she did not come to play! The rooms she created was out of this world! Especially if you like swanky home theaters and cozy reading areas.
