As I desperately searched HOUZZ for tidbits of decorating wisdom, I came across Susan Tucker from the Athens, AL area. Susan promptly responded to my HELP request and set up an appointment to view my haphazardly decorated home.
Her gift of utilizing already-owned antiques and décor scattered across 3,000 square feet of living space was amazing to behold! Susan’s artistic prowess was filled with quiet energy as she analyzed each room while confirming the function but without decimating our personal style.
Since our two-year old renovation, all of the walls were still void of artwork and stored in the attic. Did this bother Susan? No! She gently perused the dusty array of old family portraits, artwork, and knick-knacks, all while asking about the importance of each item to our 40-year marriage.
In addition to decorating our home, Susan was a tremendous stress-reliever in an unexpected manner! She transformed our home into an elegant beach-inspired Bridal Shower event which beautifully flowed from the wrap-around porch, foyer, den, kitchen, and into the dining area. Susan expertly advised on the placement of flowers and subtle beach décor, furniture, table linens, crystal/glassware, and even menu-planning. This professional decorator went way beyond her job description and allowed me to enjoy an otherwise stressful event!
The result of Susan’s artful decorating skill is a beautiful, but uncluttered home which “speaks” of our lives – not that of a complete stranger. Susan Tucker, Designer and Decorator, is a professional that I wholeheartedly trust and recommend!
Thank you, Susan!

Susan has the knack for decorating. She is very professional and her innate ability to place knick-knacks, pictures, and furniture in the right place for an eye-popping appeal is unmatched. Susan is dependable, highly motivated and trustworthy. Susan made my house a home and every day I look around at the beauty she has created. Thanks again for an outstanding difference in my home.

I met Susan Tucker many years ago and was thrilled to find out that she has an amazing talent when it comes to interior design. I thought I had an eye for style, but my 1929 Craftsman Bungalow needed a professional's help. That's where Susan stepped in. In one visit and just a couple of hours, she took things I already had, repurposed them, made things make sense, and I woke up the next morning feeling like I had been on an HGTV show. I'd call it, 'Redesign by Susan'. I could hardly believe I was looking at my own living room. The transformation was amazing! I thought that books were to go on a bookshelf. Silly me. They can serve all sorts of design purposes. ;)
When I bought a new home a couple of years ago, I called on Susan again. I don't know about anyone else, but choosing paint colors from a small swatch is no easy task, however, Susan is a whiz when it comes to color. She's taught me so much and is such a great loving and caring friend! She will tell you, will all the love and passion she has, how to look at things from a design aspect, but how to arrange things in a practical manner for everyday living as well.
I'm excited for her to help me organize my home next. She has quite the knack for that too! Since she was a young girl, she has been so passionate about design and her talent is undeniable! I stay in contact with her and consult her with all my major design decisions.

Susan has a gift for both color and design. She asked me questions about what I liked, looked at the colors and style of my existing furniture, then helped me pick paint colors for my family room, hallway, master bedroom, and master bath. The rooms connect so the flow of color from one room to the next was important. Susan nailed it! I'm so happy with the colors that I haven't re-hung pictures yet. When I get ready to hang those pictures, I'll definitely call Susan! She also helped me organize my built-in shelves. They were so cluttered. She's very good at using what you already have, so a few trips around the house and we had everything we needed to give my built-ins a complete makeover. So happy! You can't go wrong hiring Susan Tucker!

Susan Tucker decorated one of my homes and I've seen her work in other homes. She has a brilliant eye for color, pattern, and placement. She's incredibly reliable and has an amazing work ethic as well. She has great taste and I would trust her to do any project.

Susan came to my home and choose all my paint colors and with interior decorating. She was a genius and I feel I made a friend on top of being blessed with her services. She helped me redistribute things I already owned and added a few other things to turn my home into a much prettier place to come home too! We have stayed in touch and she is currently helping my daughter redecorate her future home! My whole family have meet her and will continue to use her services in the future! She is a wonderful person and is truly blessed with true talent in decorating!
