Meghan’s penchant for design began at a very early age. Born on the East Coast, but raised in Texas, the mixture of casual southern charm with East Coast classicism continues to influence her design philosophy. After studying art and design at Providence College and FIT, Meghan worked in London, New York, Boston and Dallas where she gained valuable experience in space planning, color theory, furniture design, lighting, and visual merchandising for industry giants like Burberry, Conde Nast, and Crate & Barrel.
In 2006, Meghan set out on her own and started Meghan's Inspired Interiors in Dallas, TX with the goal of making interior design more accessible. After a move back to the East Coast Meghan relaunched Meghan Shadrick Interiors in 2010.
Often seen as intimidating and available only to the very elite, Meghan believes good design should be attainable to varying budgets. She believes in honoring and incorporating cherished furnishings already existing in a home. The combination of bringing together old and new, traditional and modern, high end and low end is what gives a room its soul and individuality. "Clients often have a good start to a room with some key pieces, but it's the layering in of artwork, accessories, and finer details of a room that many struggle with, and that is where I come in to the rescue". The result is a space that is fresh, unique, and a true reflection of the client. This is very rewarding for both the homeowner and Meghan. Its a partnership with the client, and a successful design is one that the client truly feels at home in.
Meghan currently lives with her children, Liam and Cora, and her husband, Dave, in Arlington.

Meghan is as pleasant to work with as she is talented. I have worked with her twice now on both my business and then on a new living space we added in our home. The space came out drop dead gorgeous (as did my business) and she was so creative in the way she designed it for use as an office/guest room/gathering space for parties, while also taking into consideration that we have young kids and will not treat the room delicately. There was a back order of a fabric along the way that added over a month to our project, but she handled it with grace and she kept us in the loop on all of it and gave us options for how to proceed. I love how it all came out and all the finishing details she thought of, and now that the project is done I will miss working with her!!

Jamie, You are so sweet, thank you for the kind words. You are a pleasure to work with as well, and I will miss working with you. We will just have to stay in touch one way or another!

Meghan has superb taste and an ability to understand our aesthetic. She consistently presented ideas that were in line with our taste but also stretched our ideas. There are many beautiful touches in our house of which we were initially skeptical, and now love and see how much they enhance the whole of the project. A couple of specific suggestions we rejected, and when I look at those, I realize Meghan's choice would have worked better! Having said that, she also accepted and supported some important choices we made and worked with those to make a cohesive whole. Meghan respected our wish to be involved in the decision-making and met us several times at tile and other stores, even though she would have worked more efficiently on her own, (and our process would have been less painful)! We appreciated Meghan's flexibility as other designers let us know they wanted complete control of the project. She was also conscious of cost. There were myriad decisions (baseboards, hardware, paint colors and combinations, lighting) that she made with ease and vision. Meghan is also warm, personable, and easy and fun to work with. I recommend her without reservation.

Meghan is wonderful. She designed our living room, dining room and basement family room. She truly listened to how we wanted our spaces to look and feel. As a parent herself she totally understood the function part, selecting fabrics and furnishings that allowed for play but still looked beautiful and put together. She’s a master of mixing materials for a layered and textured space. I feel like she maximized our budget, guiding us with where we should spend and where we could save. I couldn’t recommend her more.

Meghan is amazing and I am grateful for her creativity and ability to allow me to stay true to my design personality while creating a timeless yet new look. Meghan showed me designers that she felt channeled my ideas, which gave me the confidence that we were headed in the right direction. She put together fabric/furniture plans that needed minimal tweaking to get it just perfect. She suggested modern art and furniture that worked perfectly with our antiques, giving a fresh feel to the rooms. Through this project she created the perfect balance of welcoming comfort and sophistication, to a large new space, which is what I was hoping for. My husband and I could not be happier and our 4 sons are comfortable in every room!

I have been working with Meghan on several projects in our home. She is very talented and has made our house a home that we enjoy entertaining and spending time in. She has great vision and incorporated furniture we already had and created beautiful rooms. Her ideas are personalized and she never forgets the smallest details that make the room shine. Her knowledge with vendors and brands ensures that you are receiving high quality furniture, lights or even accessories. She's a delight to work with and we look forward to future projects together.

Meghan was so helpful to us when we were renovating our home. She helped pick styles and finishes that were timeless, cohesive and in line with what our final vision for the project was. Basically she helped make it go from paper form to real life where our family and friends could enjoy it everyday.

Meghan took our new condo in the south end of Boston and transformed it into a beautiful home. We needed help with not just design and layout but also with understanding how upgrades to the walls and fireplace would enhance the space. She was able to take our minimal input and create a stylish and comfortable place for our family. Her eye for detail is second to none. We can not recommend her enough!

I hired Meghan to decorate my living room, and I'm thrilled that I did! Meghan was so patient and accommodating with my need to visualize, and she worked tirelessly until she knew I understood the vision and was happy with it. Her talent is unbelievable. She pulled the room into something I never could have imagined with her use of color and textiles. My room is warm and functional, but also a true show piece thanks to her. I will definitely be working with her again!

I have been a client of Meghan Shadrick Interiors for almost 4 years. I originally hired Meghan to help me furnish 5 rooms with custom and semi custom curtains. I was so pleased I then hired her 2 years later to help with renovating 3 bathrooms in my house. She is so talented and helped me to design 3 different bathrooms that fit my style, but are current with the times. I have since consulted Meghan on reupholstering furniture and many other household updates. I plan on renovating my kitchen in the near future and will be using Meghan for that as well. What I really love about working with Meghan is that you can be as involved as you want! I enjoy working with her and have loved the final product of each project she has worked on for me in the past 4 years!!

Meghan did an amazing job renovating our living room, dining room and family room. She helped us make designing decisions that were outside of our comfort zone but fitting to our personal styles. She kept us on budget and never rushed us. We absolutely love our rooms and owe it all to Meghan! She is amazing!

I contacted Meghan originally to help with a redesign of a very large guest suite. The inspiration for the suite was a recent trip to Africa. The room(s) turned out far better then I could ever dream. The trip inspiration is there but not kitschy and the pops of color (pink!) that my teenager daughter insisted on are placed so that it is not overwhelming. She turned a "furniture dumping ground" into a perfect guest "haven". Plus my guests are super wowed by the space. And the pink looks great!!
So, half way through the project we had Meghan help with a basement redesign too, that is equally fabulous.
Working with Meghan is easy, she listens, she makes suggestions, that were sometimes out of my box, but worked and she just "gets" what I was looking for - a mix of mod and vintage and most of all comfortable with of course a bit of wow value!! Highly recommend.

This was the first time I had worked with a decorator. My rooms were tired and cluttered and ready for an update. Meghan walked us through the steps and in the end gave us fabulous rooms that are now a joy to be in. We have a small house, and it was a challenge to find furniture that would fit in the rooms and still have a place for the whole family to relax. Meghan rose to the challenge and gave us a living room and a family room that are pleasant to look at and calming to relax in. She listened to our expectations and made many helpful suggestions. She was respectful of our budget and helped us with the furniture delivery and set up. I was very pleased with the whole process, with Meghan's work, and with the end result!

We got Meghan's name from our builder as we were about to renovate our dining room. The dining room went from "drab" to "Fab" as she carefully helped me navigate the process and pick out all of the beautiful elements that would become our new dining room. She was very patient and helped me to develop my own style with her inspiration. We worked very well together as she helped me create the perfect "elegant but peppy" dining room that we enjoy today. She has so many resources that she taps into and finds unique pieces for each client. I would highly recommend her and use her again!

I had never worked with a designer before and found Meghan incredibly patient. She was a pleasure to work with and was extremely knowledgeable of where to look for furnishings locally. She taught me how to select colors and how to mix existing furnishings with new colors and new pieces. She transformed the space from frumpy and old to casually elegant and inviting - just what I was looking for.

It was by chance that I found Meghan on a random google search and I am so lucky that I did. It was Meghan that made our new house a home. She knows how to work with your budget and makes it all work. She worked with great professionals that I have since used for other jobs. Everyone arrived when they were supposed to and it was all done in a timely manner. She has now done two of my fitness studios. Anyone that sees her work instantly wants to work with her. Every penny is well worth it!

Meghan was a dream to work with. She worked within our style and budget and helped grow and implement our ideas with her own. She was very detailed oriented and had great follow through, even dealing with the most difficult of suppliers. The cost was less than we would have expected doing it ourselves and found that Meghan really provided a lot of value. Best of all, we love the results!

What a partnership! Meghan was a true professional in every way from initial consultation & design presentation to procurement & installation. She was very easy to work with as she has an easy going style which made the whole experience very positive. Best of all are of course the beautiful rooms - formal living, dining and center hallway - that I now get to enjoy every day. She pushed me to take some design risks...and I am so glad she did...and accomplished an overall aesthetic that is beyond my best vision for the space. She effortlessly blended some existing pieces with lots of new furniture, art, wall treatments, lighting and drapery all spanning a nice range of price points. I would enthusiastically recommend her services.
