Using her discerning eye, mixing textures and focusing on the beauty of simple form, Renan wants people to not only love their space visually, but love to live in it. This passion for her craft led her to work with some of Europe’s most affluent individuals; designing traditional and contemporary spaces. She has a keen interest in how people live, and believes that emphasis at the planning phase of her projects is vital to translate her client’s ideas into a “way of life”. As an Allied member of American Society Of Interior Designers (ASID), she has over 20 years experience working with individuals from around the globe. Meeting client’s needs from America, England, Ireland, Russia, Egypt and Saudi Arabia has developed her flair and persona. Starting her career at a small hospitality firm in Atlanta she then moved to Europe. While residing in London she worked for TFL International, a large hospitality firm. She then moved to the design studio at Harrod’s, the world’s largest department store, where she worked on high end residential design and architectural projects. After returning to the United States, Renan moved to Cincinnati and to continued her work specializing in high end contemporary European design. Renan graduated Suma Cum Laude with a BFA in Interior Design from Georgia State University. She is an Allied Member of ASID and a Registered Interior Designer.

Renan and her team are amazing! I could not have done it without her. Everything she touched is beautiful. She handled the sub contractors and the "sourcing" which are incredibly difficult and time consuming. She was able to collaborate with me, understand my vision and execute the plan more than any other vendor I worked with. She was professional and came thru with her promises. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Phenomenal!

Renan is a visionary. Renan is the creative type that see's an ultra sleek bathroom where you could have never envisioned it. But when it's built, it makes an indelible and incredibly positive impact on the way you live. Renan is the designer you always wanted, but never knew you needed. Remember, you don't know what you don't know. It will *always* be worth investing in your personal space and overall happiness; she can bring that dream to life. Renan's power is to effectively transform your 3D space, into the dream page you earmarked in Architectural Digest. She listens, effectively communicates, and is worth every penny. Renan had to transform a space originally constructed in 1905, as central business district mid-rise manufacturing / retail environment. This three thousand sq ft, three-story penthouse apartment was originally converted into condo's in 2005, with the renaissance of downtown Cincinnati, but then Renan waived her magic wands and created a masterpiece.

RM Interiors made our dream home possible! Renan stretched our thinking and introduced us to ideas, products and suppliers that were otherwise beyond our reach. She and her team were easy and fun to work with. We are going to miss our frequent interactions and the creative collaboration. We are receiving so many rave reviews about the design. We are literally winning awards. We could not have chosen a better partner.

RM Interiors designed our bathroom/master bath/closet remodel. The group, lead by Renan, were professional, skilled, and fun to work with. We hired RM Interiors to design and facilitate the project. Even when the unprecedented COVID-19 shut downs began to occur in the midst of the project, RM Interiors safely and quickly sought creative solutions to get our project wrapped up. We will use them again!

We hired RM Interiors for our master bath remodel, and couldn’t have been happier with the service provided by Renan and her crew. She was able to connect us with the best and the brightest local tradespeople, undoubtedly saving us many headaches along the way. Now when we walk into our bathroom we feel relaxed and serene. We love it so much, we’ve decided to hire Renan again to help us plan our kitchen!

There is no doubt our best investment in building our home was hiring RM Interiors. Renan, has a wide range of panache in her abilities to deliver a contemporary twist to create something exceptional for a clients home. As a designer she has fabulous eye for color, measure and harmony. Renan, did a magnificent job on the selection of our materials and products to be used in our home. These services ranged from the selection of counter tops, fixtures, cabinets, plumbing, to even designing the layout of our bathroom. Renan's connections to venders proved invaluable, as our building contractor couldn't supply what we needed for our home. My wife and I could not be more pleased with the experience we had and highly recommend RM Interiors. We plan to use her again for future projects.

Renan is excellent. We worked with her to furnish our new home. She is organized, efficient and does everything possible to make sure your vision is executed. She is incredibly busy but gives each client her utmost attention. She has curated a wonderful collection of furniture and textile companies that are of the highest quality. You know that whatever she recommends will be beautiful and also durable. She also has wonderful contacts in the trade industry. Everyone she recommended did an excellent job whether is was tiling a backsplash, hanging wallpaper or building custom cabinetry. Her partner Leah is also excellent and enjoyable to work with. She is professional, responsive and goes out of her way to make sure things are done. Jason did some work for us and is also wonderful. If you have the opportunity to work with Rena and her team, you will not be disappointed.

Renan has been a godsend from day one. She was confident in her abilities, wasn’t afraid to tell us her thoughts, was compassionate during the construction of our personal residence and guided us along in a professional manner. We would have been lost without her! She is now helping us with the construction of our new company and we named our first model after her! Can’t wait for the completion of “The Renan!”

I have the highest regard for Renan Menninger, principal of RM Interiors. She was always very professional, very easy to work with, wonderful design ability and great color sense. I had a lot of my own ideas and she listened patiently and carefully and advised me on what would and wouldn't work. Cincinnati is very fortunate to have her as a design resource.

Renan, the owner and brains behind RM Interiors is worth her weight in gold. From the moment we met her, we were impressed with her quick eye to color and her ability to mix and match pieces, creating an elegant and cohesive design. With Renan in charge, I can relax and not worry about furniture choices, because her taste is impeccable. She is a must in any interior design project!

As soon as I looked at Renan’s website, I knew I wanted her to help us with renovating and decorating our home! Her style is flawless. Since we were living in NYC, I couldn’t be very involved. I basically told Renan that I trusted her, and she had full control to make decisions without consulting me. When I walked into my house several months later, my jaw hit the ground! It was everything I could’ve asked for, and more.

We have previously worked with no less than 5 other designers/architects. Renan has been by far the best. We were extremelly pleased with the end result, despite going for low budget materials this time around. Renan was quick at understanding what we wanted, led the interactions with our contractor smoothly, and simply beat our expectations. We plan to work with her again!

I have worked with Renan as an artist on numerous projects. She is an absolute professional that puts her clients needs at the forefront of a project. Renan is one of the most knowledgeable designers I have ever worked with in regards to building materials and design expertise. She is aware of the latest in contemporary design trends, accessories and building materials and has an incredible ability to visualize how various elements will fit perfectly into a space. I also personally know Renan as an extremely kind and generous person at heart. Besides her incredible design skills, she is simply a great person to know and to work with.

We are so incredibly happy with our beautiful, more contemporary transitional kitchen, 1st floor bath, and dining room. We desperately needed to update our kitchen and Renan helped tie the entire 1st floor design together. She had an vision for opening up the floor plan, while also making use of a lot of local, Cincinnati vendors and suppliers. She saved the day a number of times throughout the project by finding a floor installer that could meet our schedule and helped find faucets same day to keep the project on schedule. Our 1st floor is gorgeous and functional. She is passionate about modern design and has fantastic taste. Highly recommend RM-Interiors and Renan!

Couldn't be happier with the process and with the final product that RM put together. Our historic rehab became the perfect balance of old and new materials mixed with blended spacing, lines, palette, and lighting. Renan's confidence on the items that were hard to work through on our own made some final choices much easier and the ended up being better than even the images we started with for our inspiration on the space. A very high recommendation!

RM Interiors has always provided the best experience when designing out a space. Renan assisted in design and layout of our new office space and really understood the needs of a progressive technology-driven office, then recommended and selected the perfect pieces for our space that had the balance of aesthetics, durability and comfort. Our clients as well as the employees LOVE the space and I have never received more complements on our office environment before RM Interiors assistance. I cannot say enough about the level of detail, caring and passion Renan shows for her art. She really has taken our office to the next level.

Renan is a very good designer who is always ahead of the pack when it comes to sourcing materials. She is constantly scouring the world for new products and ideas. She was able to bring us an excellent selection of tile and cabinetry to start the process and added on from there. She has great relationships with her clients and that makes it easy to see some of the materials being used in a real situation. She found us a fabulous tiler which made the end result really come together as it was intended. I would work with Renan again and I would recommend her to anyone who wants to design a contemporary space.

Renan has been respectful of our taste, vision and budget throughout our project. She has made everything stress free, fun and easy. She is very knowledgeable about the design world. She knows what is out there, has a great work ethic and is very efficient at getting information back to us. As a result of these qualities she found exactly what we wanted in a very timely manner. Her taste is simply beautiful. Whether we were looking for a very expensive piece or an inexpensive item she always found the perfect thing. We would recommend her for any project. She has been a joy to work with.

I would recommend RM Interiors to absolutely anyone! Renan has such an amazing eye and knows contemporary design better than anyone I have met. In working with her, she was quick to observe and learn the taste of my fiancé and I, and has brought things into the design of our home that meet these preferences perfectly, but also has suggested things that we might not have picked or thought of, but that absolutely make the design and look of our home. Renan is incredibly sharp, organized, timely, fair in price and not to mention a blast to work with! My fiancé and I plan to use her for all of our future design products...RM Interiors has my highest recommendation!

My husband and I had a new house built and turned to RM Interiors initially to help choose furniture and paint colors. Renan listened to our ideas and incorporated them into a great design. We ended up counting on her advice more than we originally intended to help design custom built-ins. Renan was able to source the materials and craftsmen. Renan's creativity and great eye have given us a contemporary home that is sleek and beautiful yet still warm and comfortable. Exactly what we wanted!

Soon after we embarked on our new home building project we contacted Renan Meninger, at the recommendation of our lighting consultant, Drew Dearwester. While we had a vision and theme in mind, we needed a designer who could help us bring this to life, to create a unique space which reflected our new eye for contemporary design. Our objective was to create a home with a clean, minimalist feel that was also dramatic, and reflected the energy, beauty and history of our downtown and river view along with the Mt Adams incline that was once the foundation of our plot on Baum Street. Renan quickly understood our vision, urban lifestyle and took it further using unique materials and coordinating color, texture and lines to enhance the interior of our new home. Renan was great fun to work with, kept us constantly informed and coordinated all of the logistics involved with ordering tile, fixtures and furniture from Italy and Spain. We highly recommend Renan if you are interested in designing a new or updating an existing space to create a contemporary look and feel.

RM Interiors provided professional advice and guidance for remodeling a 1950's cape cod home turned modern home nicknamed "ModCod." In particular, RM Interiors kept the project on course, assisted and/or directed the homeowner's decisions on colors, tile selections, hardware for cabinets and sinks, plus toilets and wallpaper. RM Interiors also worked closely with the homeowner's to stay within budget by suggesting competent suppliers and professional installers. RM Interiors was very passionate with the project and dedicated to seeing it though to the end.

I was on the fence between modern contemporary and traditional. Everything I tried just didn't hit the mark and I grew frustrated at the fact that I needed help. Upon contacting RM Interiors, I was greeted in a most professional manner that set me at ease immediately. We reviewed and discussed what I was looking for and I decided that I just did not have the eye or the aptitude to accomplish my decorative intentions. I took a vacation and upon my return - WOW! I was greeted with a mostly modern theme, with just the right hints of traditional - all within my budget. Now, I enjoy my home for the first time and will be entertaining next year in 2014!

My partner and I bought a cape style home in Upstate NY. The home was quite dated on the inside, but we couldn't resist the location and the serenity that the area provides. I searched drastically for an interior designer in the area, but could not seem to bond with any of them. That is, until I found RM. I was overwhelmed in the beginning because I had an idea of what I wanted, but did not know how to pull it all together. Not only did RM "pull it together" for me, she also made the whole process very comfortable. She came in with guns loaded and completed the job in a timely matter. I was very impressed with her professionalism and dedication. I know she had other projects in the city (and I'm sure they were more high paying projects than mine) but she treated my partner and I like we were just as or more important than her wealthier clients in the city. I always dreamed of having a mid-century space in my home and my dream has come true! Thank you RM. Someday when I finally get my dream "glass" house, I will DEFINATELY use her again!!

We hired RM Interiors to help us with several renovations to our home including the living room, dining room, kitchen, and bathroom. Not only did we recieve exceptional ideas, we were part of the entire process. A great deal of time was spent understanding our tastes and every day lives to ensure the right choices were being made. We were also given in depth explanations regarding all the design choices given as to understand the ideas being presented. Our home was built in the 1920's but our tastes lean more toward a mid-century modern feel. RM Interiors was able to deliver exactly that aesthetic while keeping to the integrity of our home. From our intial meeting with Renan to the finished product, we couldn't have been happier with our experience! I would highly recommend RM Interiors!

We have finished one project with Renan, and she did such an amazing job we have hired her to help us finish our house remodel. Renan has an amazing eye for details and finishes. I think the most important thing for me is that she is able to interpret our style and customize her recommendations based on our Houzz idea books. Not only am I satisfied with the work Renan has done, but she has completely exceeded my expectations with what we have been able to accomplish within our budget. And did I mention that she could double as a marriage counselor? She is great at making both my husband's and my taste work together seamlessly. We are both thrilled!

I initially hired Renan to consult on paint colors for every room of a new house which she did with excellence. I have 3 floors with many color transitions and I love the combinations she selected and how they matched with my Renan-edited art. From there, she helped us realize our vision of an entirely white bedroom from personally designing and having our bed made to finding a perfect light (along with Drew Dearwester from Switch) to enable the room to transform in different colors to finding a bergere chair to be completely redone in white with white textured fabric. I love everything she did but beyond that, she is a dream to work with. Very professional AND very fun and friendly. She would ask questions and build upon my initial vision to take every element to the next level. I highly recommend Renan...especially (but not exclusively) if you are looking for someone with a particularly sharp modern eye.
