Best of 2012: Interior Design/Home Remodeling
Rich Designs artistically mixes floral shop, art gallery, home furnishings store and interior design business. So it's no surprise that co-owner and designer Rich Schell likes interiors to be fun and spontaneous, and describes his look as eclectic: "I love so many varieties of styles that I prefer to mix them all up." The store accepts jobs of all sizes, from helping someone find the perfect couch or carpet to carrying out full-scale, blowout renovations. Couples redesigning their shared space can be more of a challenge, but Schell is straightforward. "One of you has got to love it," he tells them, "and the other has got to get used to it." — Darcie Mankell
