Carolyn's Interior Design, multiple-award winning background stems from a long time love of all things design. With 30+ years of experience and my passion for style has followed me and grown in every aspect of my life. Connecting to the design field in one way or another while following my husband all over the world with his military career has been a challenge but it’s probably what developed my success. As a matter of fact while living in Washington DC I was directly in charge of designing the furnishings for a very important new department of the government. I was both honored and privileged to accept the opportunity to take care of them. It was a massive undertaking and needless to say the large projects do not scare me. In fact, I LOVE them! Convinced that this is what I am meant to do I unknowingly hunt out what I love and the thrill of a hunt is more than intriguing to me. Some would say I’m obsessed! (Please don’t ask my husband….shh…) At the end of the day I visualize beautiful things coming together to create the end result. After 30 plus years in the fashion and design industry my expertise in Design Project Management leads me to Residential or Commercial projects. Finish selections such as paint, tile, lighting, plumbing and flooring all the way to the delivery of the furnishings, accessorizing and installation of the window treatments makes me feel accomplished. An eye for detail as well as visualizing the big picture are both essential. My customers love having the comfort level of my knowledge and experience. ### Services Provided - Interior Design - Kitchen Design - Bathroom Design - Living Room Design - Bedroom Design - Color Consulting - Space Planning - Furniture Selection - Kids Bedroom Design - Dining Room Design - Custom Cabinets - Custom Kitchen Cabinets - Lighting Design - Home Office Design & Construction - Design Consultation - Floor Plans - Custom Bathroom Vanities - Entry Design - Project Management - Custom Furniture - Nursery Design - Custom Blinds & Shades - Guesthouse Design & Construction - Basement Design - Home Theater Design - Downsizing - Custom Murphy Beds - Kitchen Remodeling - Color Consultation Expert - Home Office Design - New Construction - Remodeling ### Areas Served - Santa Rosa Beach - Rosemary Beach - Destin - Watercolor - Miramar Beach - Seaside - Inlet Beach - 30A Corridor - Alys Beach - Blue Mountain Beach - Seacrest Beach ### Typical Job Cost $30,000 - 1 million Interior fit and finish, furnishings, lighting, plumbing, paint, tile, accessories, art, window treatments, indoor and outdoor furnishings and accessories. ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | 30A Interiors | | Address | 51 Cullman Ave, Santa Rosa Beach, Florida 32459, United States | | Phone | (850) 368-9799 | | Website | http://www.30ainteriors.com | | License Number | 45-3631206 | | Followers on Houzz | 400 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/30aInteriors - X (Twitter) — \#30ainteriors - LinkedIn — Carolyn Simmons - Blog — http://www.30ainteriors.com ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [30A Interiors](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/30a-interiors-pfvwus-pf~1669425018) - **Website:** http://www.30ainteriors.com - **Phone:** (850) 368-9799 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - 2018 Finest on the Emerald Coast Interior 1st Place Recipient - Top 25 Designers in Florida, - President's Award, - Million Dollar Club, - Best of Houzz 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 for Design and Service - Featured in Vie Magazine - Featured in Emerald Coast Magazine - **Best of Houzz:** 5 awards (2016–2018), for Design, Service. **Affiliations** - [American Society of Interior Designers](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/american-society-of-interior-designers-pfvwus-pf~1510192642) ## Reviews **Overall rating: 4.9 out of 5 — 18 reviews** ### Reviews **★★★★★ — Becky Brinson, Dec. 2017** > Carolyn and her staff were very easy to work with. She is very patient and willing to keep looking until your find what you are looking for. We did a complete 3 bedroom/3 bath condo renovation. It turned out beautiful. **Comment from 30A Interiors:** > Thank you Becky! It was an honor! I hope you love your refreshed condo for many years to come! There are so many parts of it we love but this is just the kitchen! **★★★★★ — Susan Velotas, June 2017** > Loved working with Carolyn. Not only is she very talented in design > from construction though furnishings she is also wonderful to work with. Carolyn truely collaborates with you on a project, making her customers very comfortable! New home design can be very stressful. Having someone talented on your side of the table can make all the difference. I would definitely hire Carolyn and her team again. **Comment from 30A Interiors:** > Thanks so much Susan! Your home is beautiful and enjoyed working with you! **★★★★★ — Missy Head Head, May 2017** > Working with the 30 A Team has been the most incredible experience. I can truly say I have never worked with a team that is more professional, creative or diligent. > I hired Carolyn to update my rental property in Alys Beach. My home was in dire need of a transformation as it had fallen in rentals and could not compete with the new construction. Carolyn and her team began work and the transformation began. This was not an easy job, a wall had to be removed and we ran into some other issues that were unforeseen which did not fall under the confines of the remodel. It was not feasible for me to make the trip to Florida, Carolyn and her team graciously handled these stumbling blocks for me. The finished product has rapidly become one of the most popular 5 bedroom rentals in Alys Beach. > I highly recommend 30 A interiors. You will. It be disappointed! **Comment from 30A Interiors:** > Wow! Thanks so much Missy! It's been a GREAT project and thank you for your trust and commitment to the project! ! **★★★★★ — Jennifer Webb, Dec. 2016** > Carolyn and her team were very professional and did a great job creating an inviting space for our guests. The whole project from design to install went smoothly. **★★★★★ — tanyavocque, Dec. 2016** > We built a beach house in Inlet beach and live in Nashville, TN. We had Carolyn decorate it for us. We gave her a budget and ideas of what we liked and she did an amazing job in a timely manner and within budget. Our guests that stay at our house always comment on how they love our decorations. She is so pleasant to work with we absolutely would recommend her to anyone. . Thanks so much Tanya and Craig. **★★★★★ — Renee Noblin, Dec. 2016** > I own a drapery and blind business and have been working with Carolyn for 2 1/2 years. She is one of my favorite decorators to work with. She is a true professional who is always punctual and organized. Her decorating expertise only enhances the beauty of my window and door coverings. Love to see the final product and to see how happy and thrilled her clients are with the beautiful transformation of their homes. **★★★★ — Lisa Emmons, Nov. 2016** > I highly recommend working with 30A interiors. > Our project was on a tight time schedule and budget. Carolyn’s resources and attention got the job done beautifully and we couldn’t be happier. **★★★★★ — Candy O, Oct. 2016** > Carolyn Simmons of 30A Interiors did the entire interior design for our beach condo in Florida while we were living in NJ. I met initially to go over her recommendations for fabrics and furniture finishes (I need to see colors and textures myself - but I loved everything she suggested!), and she took it from there. When we arrived at the condo for our first stay, everything was done - furniture, rugs, bedding, lighting, window treatments, new cabinetry/countertops in the laundry room - it was a dream condo! We couldn't be happier! **Comment from 30A Interiors:** > Thanks so much Cande! It's been my pleasure! I can't wait to professionally photograph! **★★★★★ — dbhaglund, Nov. 2015** > "30A Interiors" helped us completely remodel our Rosemary Beach house (including furniture selection, window treatments, paint colors, rugs, and wall art placement throughout plus complete redesign of the 3rd floor). Trying to tackle such a huge project from Texas would have been a real challenge, but thankfully I was introduced to Carolyn at just the right time. It has been a pleasure to work with and get to know her. She has great ideas and worked with our vision to bring us options that fit the house and our budget. We needed her to stay on top of contractors since we couldn't be there to do it, and she was direct and effective when needed. We had a very tight timeline, and the project was delivered just before we needed. In addition to Carolyn's great design and decorating expertise, she is truly a delightful person. We highly recommend hiring her. **★★★★★ — laniehart51, Nov. 2015** > 30A Interiors expertly oversaw the entire interior design process of our family's recent home renovation in Dune Allen, Florida. We wanted a coastal style home and Carolyn and Jeri, of 30A Interiors, worked tediously to plan and coordinate the entire project. Over a period of several months, our home was transformed into the beautiful vision we had dreamed. We thank and highly recommend 30A Interiors to anyone looking for a talented team of interior design/decorating professionals. **★★★★★ — Chris Gifford, Oct. 2015** > I am in the luxury vacation property management business on 30A and one of my new clients hired 30A Interiors to remodel/redecorate a home they purchased in Rosemary Beach. The home was initially not it great shape and the job 30A Interiors did was amazing! Now the home is one of our best rentals in our portfolio and I very much look forward to working with Carolyn and her team again in the future! **★★★★★ — betsybcox, Oct. 2015** > Carolyn Simmons has done an excellent job for us. She has gone beyond. expectations and become a dear friend.
