Research.</p><p><br></p><p>She goes every year to stay ahead of every trend, every material, every direction that interior design is heading — so her clients in Lake Norman don't have to guess what's next. They just get it.</p><p><br></p><p>Anna started Great Design 4 U in 2008. The worst possible time to start an interior design business. Nobody was buying houses. Nobody was renovating anything. The market was in freefall.</p><p><br></p><p>She survived anyway.</p><p><br></p><p>Then COVID hit. She survived that too.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, Anna breaks down:</p><ul><li>What she saw at Milan Design Week 2026 and what's actually coming to homes near you</li><li>Why gray is out and what's replacing it (hint: think warm, golden undertones)</li><li>The retro trend making a comeback — and why it actually works with modern technology</li><li>Why she charges a flat rate instead of hourly (and why every client loves her for it)</li><li>How she \"crawls inside your head\" to design a space that actually feels like you</li><li>Why she fires clients — and why that makes her better at her job</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Oh and she has her own furniture line. Performance fabric. Kid and pet resistant. Because she gets it.</p><p><br></p><p>If your house doesn't feel like you anymore — or maybe it never did — this one's for you.</p><p><br></p><p>Great Design 4 U is located in downtown Mooresville, right behind the ice cream shop.</p><p>Schedule a discovery call at greatdesign4u.com</p><p>Call: 704-305-0139</p><p><br></p><p><em>We Are Lake Norman is hosted by Ryan Webber of Webber Marketing.
