Come along for the drive. ~ Diane Durocher Interiors is headed to a client, and the first stop is a budget conversation with the electrician.
Big budget or small, the principle is the same. Design is in the details, and the details are handled.

𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫 𝐃𝐚𝐲! Sage and sea-foam, a pop of coral, apple green, and a deep navy rug underfoot. It shouldn’t work, and yet it does. The secret? A grounding dark (hello, navy), cool calm up high, and little jolts of warm color in the details. Which color would you dare to add?

We’re kicking off a new conversation series with the designers at Diane Durocher Interiors, and our first guest is Heather. Diane describes her as very calm and says she never gets really flustered, a quality that matters on any project with a lot of moving parts. Diane is quick to point out that she’s the one who gets more flustered, which makes for a nice balance on the team.

This series is all about getting to know the people behind the designs and picking up a few helpful hints along the way. What’s one question you’d want to ask one of our designers?

𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 is the perfect excuse to ask a simple question: does your workspace actually help you do your best work?

For Diane Durocher Interiors, the answer starts with how a room feels, not just how it looks. A great home office should invite you to sit down, settle in, and get things done. That might mean a desk with real presence, good light, and a few personal touches that make the room feel like yours.

In this space, a rich wood desk grounds the room, a brass task lamp adds a little character, and soft, neutral walls keep everything calm. The details do the rest. A sculpture here, a stack of favorite books there.

You don’t need to start over to improve your office. Sometimes one thoughtful change shifts the whole room.

What’s the one thing in your home office you’d change if you could? Tell us in the comments. 💬

It's 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐎𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤, and we think "organized" gets a bad reputation. It doesn't have to mean plastic bins and bare shelves.

Take these two rooms. In the primary bedroom, built-in cabinetry wraps the TV with drawers below and open shelves above for framed photos, and a long dresser carries even more. In the primary bath, a tall linen cabinet and a vanity full of drawers keep towels, toiletries, and daily essentials tucked away, so the room feels like a retreat instead of a to-do list.

DDI's philosophy is that a home should be designed around the way you actually live. When storage is planned from the start, it stops being an afterthought and becomes part of the beauty of the room. Less clutter means a calmer space, and that is how a room is meant to feel.

What's the one spot in your home that could use a little beautiful storage?

𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲! Celebrated every year on the first Friday of October, it's the worldwide celebration of plaid, because we're all connected by a common thread.
In this room by Diane Durocher Interiors, a red tartan pillow ties together the warm walls, the rich wood tones, and the traditional artwork. It's a small touch, but it gives the space a cozy, welcoming feel. Diane's philosophy is that a home should feel as good as it looks, and plaid does that beautifully.

𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐲 - Some elements of design are almost timeless in their appeal. Lace ~ with its delicate intricacy and classic elegance ~ is one of them. Whether draped, woven into textiles, or painted directly onto walls, lace speaks a sophisticated language that transcends trend.
In this luminous Alnwick Hall bedroom, the hand-painted laced pattern walls create an atmosphere of refined elegance. Designer Heather Pollatta brought Diane Durocher Interiors' vision to life, painting intricate lace directly onto the walls ~ a labor-intensive, deeply artisanal approach that speaks to precision and craftsmanship.
Diane has always believed that a well-designed space tells the story of the people who inhabit it. When you introduce elements like hand-painted lace, you're adding chapters of care, intention, and artistry.

What draws you to a room ~ is it the bold statement pieces, the subtle hand-crafted details, or the way everything harmonizes together? Tell us in the comments.
