Nancy and her design team were absolutely exceptional from start to finish!! My husband and I purchased our new home on Wrightsville Beach in the middle of the Covid craziness. Our new house required quite a bit of remodeling changes to suit my familys needs.

I knew immediately during our first phone conversation with Nancy that we were in good hands and I had definitely found the right design firm to handle our long distance project.

When we sold our home up north, I realized I was locked into beige. For our new home near Wilmington I wanted coastal, not beachy, with pops of color. I knew I needed help! Nancy first held a phone conference with me where we looked at pictures I had saved on Pinterest and Houzz. This streamlined our first meeting in her design center. She had chosen many books of fabrics that aligned with my pictures. She guided me to find an inspiration fabric which we then used to choose all the other fabrics. They coordinate perfectly and give a contemporary coastal vibe to our rooms. I would never have had the confidence to choose the beautiful, colorful fabrics we did. Her furniture and area rug suggestions were so awesome, and definitely outside my wheelhouse. They are perfect, unique, and complete the rooms so that they are comfortable, but very stylish. We get compliments from everyone who visits. Nancy and her assistants are creative, never pushy, and totally respective of my tastes and budget. Her pricing is very fair and reasonable. I would recommend Nancy to anyone who is looking to create their own unique space.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Nancy and her dedicated design team on the 10-month long construction of our new home. As recent transplants to the area, we were eager to shrug off the cold cloak of northern, city living and create a sunny oasis for ourselves in our newly adopted beach town. We were fortunate that a good friend of ours, who had moved to the area several years earlier, had a wonderful recommendation for us for an interior designer Nancy Mullineaux who had helped design their custom home, which we incidentally loved. Our journey began with sitting down with Nancy and her staff and looking over our blueprints before setting a date to break ground. They carefully assessed every detail of the floor plans, room by room, and made numerous creative suggestions, some of which werent even addressed by the architect! Over the course of the project Nancy and her team consistently kept us updated and informed on our project timelines, and never ceased to work in a collaborative effort with our builder, architect, etc. It was a true team effort and it made the potentially stressful aspect of building a new home a relaxing, enjoyable and actually FUN experience because we knew what good hands we were in. An added benefit of working with Nancy is the incredible array of resources she has available in her retail showroom. We were saved the inconvenience and aggravation of having to run all over town trying to coordinate our tile, wood & carpet, cabinets with countertops, paint and everything else needed since she offered it all under one roof. Being a very price conscious consumer having worked in the banking industry for forty years, I was pleasantly surprised by how far our budget went thanks to Nancys cost-plus pricing structure, which allowed us to purchase everything we needed at contractors pricing. We were even able to furnish our entire home with customized furniture, accessories, lamps, tables, chairs, custom bedding, blinds etc. Pretty much everything we needed for our new home. Through Nancys showroom offerings, all with the unwavering assistance of her and her design teams creative vision and ability to pull together ideas, we were shown fresh concepts that we would not have been able to come up with on our own. Our experience of tackling building a custom house resulted in a beautiful home that we love, and that evolved into being a true reflection of us and our busy lifestyle of entertaining along with our growing family, dogs and grandchildren. I couldnt recommend Nancy and her imaginative and resourceful team at Dezign Inspirations/ Home Design Resource more highly!

My wife and I had a truly remarkable experience and would like to take this opportunity to recognize Nancy Mullineaux and her team at Home Design Resources as truly being a top notch local business, well deserving of 5 star ratings in all categories of operation. Recent newlyweds with the wedding and honeymoon behind us we were eager to begin the process of updating and transforming our kitchen and dining space into one we could truly be proud of and which reflected our personalities and our deep love for coastal colors; functionality for cooking and entertaining guests was also a priority. We began the renovation process on our own but quickly realized we were in over our head when it came to making crucial design decisions including coordinating backsplash, countertop, furniture and paint selections. We found numerous products online that we liked and felt would work for our space; however, after having to pay to return a set of bar stools purchased online because they didnt work for our space, we decided it was time to consult with a professional interior designer. Nancy Mullineauxs expertise saved us countless hours, headaches and made the renovation process painless and completely stress-free. Nancy and her team manage all aspects from ordering, shipping, inspecting each item and scheduling product installation or delivery. We were absolutely stunned by the quality of materials and custom furnishings that Home Design Resources was able to offer us. Most notably, Nancy recommended a unique option for our backsplash that we would have never had access to without her professional design connections. The backsplash continues to be a conversation piece to all who visit our home. Nancy provided us with a wide selection of affordable options for backsplash, quartz counter tops and custom dining chairs that would not only complement each other but bring unity to our adjoining open living room decor. In short, Nancy and the team at Home Design Resources made it possible for a young couple to utilize professional interior design services, obtain the highest quality materials and products while remaining affordable and within budget. Nancy was able to bring our dream of a youthful yet classic modern coastal style to life. We plan to consult with Nancy again in the future when we are ready to update other areas in our home.
