How To Decorate Like H&H Designer Of The Year Nam Dang-Mitchell
Nam Dang-Mitchell came to the Prairies by way of Paris (she was born there while her mother was studying at the Sorbonne), and it shows. Scroll through her Instagram feed and you’ll see countless examples of the same effortlessly chic style that all French women seem to have built into their DNA. What sets Nam apart, though, is her unique ability to recreate that sumptuous glamor in interior designs that still read as approachable and livable. “I love the aspirational aspect of building a dream home; it feeds into the romance of an ideal life,” she says. “I think a home can inspire someone to be the best version of themself.”
Want to inject your home with her covetable style? Scroll down to steal some of Nam’s signature design moves.
Nam masters the art of standout spaces with luxe-but-edgy style. An on-trend curved sofa is an eccentric choice but looks right at home in this clean-lined living room with classic elements.
In contemporary spaces, Nam lets traditional antique mantelpieces inject a touch of history.
Nam relies on wallpaper — like this hand-painted beauty by Gracie — to animate accent walls or highlight an architectural feature.
Nam has an affinity for Serge Mouille–style chandeliers and articulated sconces.
From punchy backsplashes to high-contrast flooring, Nam embraces lively tile patterns, especially in her own kitchen.
