“We have had the pleasure of working with Regan and her incredibly talented team at RBI for many years. RBI has created interior spaces for us that truly embrace our interests and sensibilities, spaces that immediately feel like “home” as they reflect our passion for art and music. In one instance, RBI designed two adjoining rooms based on a favorite painting of ours, blending elements of the piece throughout the color palette and forms they chose for furniture, seating, and accessories. RBI has also expanded our sense of design in meaningful ways, introducing elements that add originality and excitement while blending seamlessly with the overall concepts we’ve developed. Perhaps most importantly, RBI is comprised of thoughtful and kind people who take the time to understand our design goals, work within the realities of our lives with two children at home, and create a process that is fun and dynamic but never pressured.”
