About Us

Shannon was born and raised in Dallas, Texas where the esthetic is emphasized in design including fashion, interiors, exteriors, and entertaining. Her exposure to art, dance, theater, music and travel is the cornerstone of her design philosophy. After graduating with a bachelor of arts degree in Art History from Southern Methodist University, and living and studying in Milan and Rome, Italy, Shannon moved to New York City to pursue a career as an advertising representative for The Magazine Antiques and Art in America. In 1994, Shannon relocated to the Boston area focusing on family and volunteering. After multiple events planned and helping many a friend with design, she was asked to place her home on a holiday tour in 2002. And, so began the inception of Grace Interiors, named for her daughter. Shannon continues to follow her passion for creating harmony between culture and life style in her work. Collaborating with my clients brings great satisfaction from to start to finish. Representing their tastes and lifestyles while being cognizant of the balance between FORM and FUNCTION is key. My clients are of all ages and genders with different needs and aesthetic goals. I often help my clients successfully stage their homes to sell and then begin working with them on their new spaces. Detail is important to the process, whether on a huge construction undertaking or when creating a charming vignette. Budget is always a consideration. It is the overall look we are striving for when designing living spaces. Having full access to the Boston Design Center and countless other decorative resources as well as good relations with architects and contractors, my clients' needs are met on every level. Whether in a contemporary setting or a very traditional one, I combine balanced lines while adding an eclectic mix with some surprises here and there. A home is an investment, not only in real estate but also in creating memories and a desired quality of life. Let's get started.

Shannon Gilmour is a top-notch designer with impeccable taste., Not only have I consulted with her for our family home, I also hired Shannon to create a sophisticated, on-brand home office for my business. What Shannon creates looks stunning and makes me feel like a powerhouse when I’m working in the space. I have gotten tons of complements from clients and colleagues who see me on video conferences as well. One thing I really appreciate about Shannon is she listens and respects my vision and budget and manages to work magic within those parameters.

Shannon Gilmour of Grace Interiors helped me to successfully decorate my second home on the cape in Chatham, MA. She pulled together a wonderful coastal palette of colors that are sophisticated, yet casual. We have been pleased with everything from her choice of furniture and art work to the staging of our bookcases. She has created a harmonious atmosphere throughout the house filling it with the things that we love for entertaining friends and family. She really listened to our needs and understood what we were looking for. I would highly recommend Shannon and would definitely use her again.

Sarah, it is always a pleasure collaborating with you and Rick with your wonderful demeanor, beautiful taste and sense of knowing your goals for your lovely living spaces! Thank you!

While there are a million decorators out there, there is only one Shannon Gilmour. I recently moved out of our long-time family home into a new house - I fell in love with the property but needed help making this new place my new "home". I called Shannon after reading an article about her in the Northshore Magazine and we met prior to my move. When choosing a designer, I looked for someone who can not only visualize my space in ways that I cannot but also someone who understands both my style preferences and the needs of my family. Shannon helped me right from the get-go. She gave me suggestions on pieces in my old home that I should keep and helped me let go of pieces that just would not work. She took the time to get to know me better so she could understand my vision and meticulously melded them into a cohesive design. When designing my new space, every small detail was taken into consideration - from color, to scale, to furniture choices. We worked together as a team. When we didn't agree on a choice, she worked with me with utmost care and attention to come to a happy medium. I will confess, 9.9/10 times, she was absolutely right! Once you are Shannon's client, she will put her heart and soul into your project. There is no "off" time for her. Decorating a new home can be stressful, but Shannon has an amazing, fun energy about her that makes the whole process so much lighter and easier, but still professional at all times. My new house is a work in progress and there isn't anyone else I would want to be working with to transform this space into my new home. She has a stellar eye, an understanding and creative mind, and the drive to get the job done.

Great style, professional..and fun! Her process is spot on and the results are fantastic. Shannon is an artist! I'm sure anyone would be thrilled to have Grace Interiors work with them on their project.

Comment from Grace Interiors:

Thank You, Michael! Zimmans has been and always will be one of my most valued design resources! Your outstanding inventory of fabrics and furnishings, maticulous custom upholstery services, combined with your focused knowledgable staff makes my work there so pleasurable and fluid from beginning to end of a project.

Landry & Arcari Rugs and Carpeting

At Landry & Arcari, we are fortunate to work with very talented interior designers, and Shannon is no exception. Combining an artist's flair with spacial sensibilities, Shannon manages to pull off designs that at once look effortless and yet represent a true reflection of her client's lifestyle. This is no easy feat. And yet Shannon always has a smile for us, an ever-present extension of her "can do" attitude. In short, she is a true delight to work with, and we value our working partnership immensely.

Comment from Grace Interiors:

I value your dedicated client service, outstanding inventory and overall commitment to quality every step of the way in creating beautiful comfortable artful spaces. Thanks to you and your team for your business partnership and now endearing friendship!

I recently worked with Shannon Gilmour of Grace Interiors on a project in my 1928 Tudor marrying old to new in the kitchen. I had hit a roadblock on the direction to take and so glad I called Shannon. She very decisively recommended the perfect solution resulting in an elegant and very dramatic look. Further, on the same day she traveled to the stone supplier and brought back the samples which were ultimately used, after I had looked at at least 20 before. She also redesigned my powder room with an exquisite honey onyx herringbone which turned that room into a veritable jewel box. Shannon has an impeccable eye, daring design which I wanted and ultimate and immediate attention to detail and service. I've already called her about another project.

Shannon takes the time to find out our styles. Initialy all three of us had a different vision of what the outcome was going to be. She helped us meld into a plan that we had never imagined we could have. What more can you ask of your designer?

I have had the pleasure of working professionally with Shannon in a number of her clients' homes. Shannon creates spaces that are both beautiful and functional, and her designs incorporate quality, and appropriately selected, window treatments that work with both her lovely decor choices and the functional needs of her client spaces. Fresh Paint & Blinds of Winchester provides the quality products Shannon likes to use in her designs (custom shutters, blinds, and shades), and I've installed many jobs for her. Shannon is professional and organized, and great fun to work with. I always know that working on a job with Shannon will result in beautiful spaces and happy clients.

Shannon is an exceptional woman---smart, clever, witty, kind, caring, extremely hard-working, and full of creative ideas. She is now helping me redo my Beacon Hill townhouse after my 37 years living with lovely but increasingly worn furniture and curtains. Whether it's fabrics or furniture, Shannon has exquisite taste and makes sure that I get some incredible deals through her excellent sources. All that, and she's fun to be with too! I could not recommend her more highly.

We're not especially wealthy but we wanted a nicer place than what we had. I had some reservations about using a designer as I was worried that one wouldn't really listen to us or our needs. We found Shannon through Houzz and my husband and I are even more impressed after the first visit and speaking to her references. She was just what we needed. She brought a beautiful designer's eye to our home with good doses of honesty and vision. She had a well-founded designer's aesthetic and accurately called out when some pieces we had just couldn't mesh with what we actually wanted. She took into account our requests, pushed us when appropriate, and accommodated where it was needed. As an example, Shannon wanted to get rid of my husband's electric recliner, which was not going to work for him. Shannon made it clear that the look would be better without it. He made it clear that it was going to stay. Shannon got the message at the right time, and then changed the design to work with it. Everyone's happy. We have worked with her in a mainly consultant capacity, but she definitely is flexible for whatever a client needs. As she's told us, she'll get your towels monogrammed if you want, or just help you figure out where to put your furniture or what color to paint your walls. She quickly adjusted to what we wanted (and didn't want!)

Shannon Gilmour, owner of Grace Interiors, is a marvelous and talented individual. She was able to help design my home while it was still under the construction phase. She devoted time in getting to know me and my family and how we lived. This allowed her to choose colors, textures and designs that made my new home not only beautiful, but one of a kind. Shannon is truly an amazing professional and a wonderful person.

Michelle Marshall

We hired Grace Interiors to decorate our home. We wanted our space to feel warm, inviting "pulled together" but still child-friendly with three young children. We had a lot of different styles that were competing with each other. Shannon immediately identified, clarified and solved these challenges. Her vision, artistic eye and attention to detail allowed her to transform our space with amazing efficiency, class and beauty.

Comment from Grace Interiors:

Thank you, Michelle. It is such a pleasure collaborating with you, and I appreciate your excellent communication and faith in me to pull it all together with detailed touches including rugs, furniture, pillows, wall art, shelf accessories and right down to the photo frames. Your family is delightful! And your lovely home now more than ever reflects you and yours!
