## About

### Houzz Badges

- Star Houzzer
- 1,000 Ideabook Saves

Born and raised in New York City, Ingham moved to Los Angles after graduating from the Claremont Colleges where she studied theater. Ingham's love for interiors first translated into set design, allowing her imagination and love for design to thrive. Ingham co-founded and ran a theater company for ten years, an experience that solidified her passion for creating spaces as well as discovering the importance of lighting in an environment.

Designing for the theater world progressed to designing real homes. Assisting such interior legends as Suzanne Rheinstein and Joe Nye, Ingham found her true expression in interior design. This led to Ingham's namesake boutique in West Hollywood from 2006-2009, a flagship for her eclectic colorful look - a mix of antiques & modern finds, and bold graphic patterns.

While working on interiors and sourcing pieces for her own shop, Ingham found it difficult to find one of the most important elements: good lighting. Therefore she began creating her own custom pieces for her clients, and a new journey began. The first design was called the Ingham Hall Lantern, a steel and glass box with a single downward light on a French chain - a classic and universal design that generated a whole collection. Each fixture is hand crafted by artisans in Los Angeles, and are available in custom sizes and finishes. The collection is available through the Ames Ingham website and Harbinger LA.

**★★★★★ — lorriham, June 2015**

> Ames is a fantastic designer.   She listened to our wishes and then far exceeded our expectations.  She marries design innovation with comfort, always finding a chic approach to the smallest of details.  I love her flexibility and fun - she makes the journey enjoyable.
>
> We appreciated that Ames could source from both high end and more standard retail. We also have some unique pieces from emerging craftsmen (hand made lighting and custom tables).  She did a superb job decorating our new build house, helping to select door knobs to designer furnishings.

**★★★★★ — Tricia G, June 2015**

> I cannot say enough about Ames,! She has helped us elevate the look of our home to a whole new level! Luckily, I happen to walk into her store and fell in love with her style and easy ways! We started our first project in Malibu which she transformed into everything I wanted, 6,500 SQ FT of simple elegance. This was almost 10 yrs ago and since then she has redone my husbands office, we flew her to Paris to design our incredible Apt. in the 7th arrondissement. Which she did while pregnant! She did an incredible job on our beach home and is currently working on our 2nd home in La jolla.
> Not only is she full of new and fresh ideas, she makes it fun.
> A real pro! Look out designers!

**★★★★★ — coconutty10, June 2015**

> Ames Ingham has done 5 of our places now (Malibu 6500 sq ft home, Beverly Hills office 1400 sq ft, Paris France apartment 3100 sq ft, La Jolla condo 1600 sq ft & La Quinta ranch 8000 sq ft). She extremely good at finding out the style you want and coming back with samples, layouts, patterns, pictures & plans that match your likes. If it isn't right the first time (and it never is) she works until she finds just the right design for you. She especially good if you give her the entire home to work with but can do individual rooms solo as well. Her lighting fixtures are always her 'signature' dish & she's amazing finding furniture, accessaries & artwork that flow well together. She's very competitive price wise and very honest & fair. Best part about the process is that she's pleasant to be around which makes the entire experience fun!
