Designer Susan Tollefsen infuses each of her projects with fun, color, and a little dose of quirk—which is exactly why her clients come to her. The artful combination of color and sophistication is Tollefsen’s calling card, and this recent project in downtown Winston-Salem is bursting with interest.

“My clients actually purchased two of the top floor condos in Twin City Lofts and combined them to create an almost 5,000-square-foot space,” Tollefsen explains. “It was one of the most fun projects I’ve worked on in years, with a goal to create a soulful and creative space in which to live and entertain. Whether a small or large gathering, this space always feels intimate.

The combination of new and old pieces make it feel very curated, but every inch is super functional, too. I really tried to use every color of the rainbow, and from the Cole & Son wallpaper in the foyer to the dining room, it comes together beautifully.”
