Marie Flanigan is an award-winning interior designer whose passion and achievements in design have positioned her as one of The best of America. As a classically trained and practiced architect, Marie unlocks a unique level of depth through her mutual consideration of interior and structure;Her trademark style is evident through the sophisticated use of color, texture, and light, and every home she designs receives her personal signature of timeless elegance and innovative simplicity.

她的傑出設計遍佈全美的豪宅和商業空間，她的作品和專長被包括《Architectural Digest》、《Elle Décor》、《Vogue》、《Southern Living》、《Domino》、《raditional Home》、《Elegant Homes》、《Southern Home》和《Luxe Magazine》在內的一流出版物和網站報道。她經常與電視觀眾分享她的設計和生活方式建議，包括她在HGTV的國際廣播系列劇《房產兄弟》中扮演的角色。

Her distinguished designs can be seen in luxury homes and commercial spaces throughout the country, and her work and expertise have been featured by premier publications and websites including Architectural Digest, Elle Décor, Vogue, Southern Living, Domino, Traditional Home, Elegant Homes, Southern Home, and Luxe Magazine. She regularly shares her design and lifestyle advice with TV audiences, including her most recent role on HGTV’s internationally broadcast series, Property Brothers.

一些設計師可能會對一個小項目嗤之以鼻，但瑪麗·弗拉尼根不會。這位總部位於休士頓的設計師說「當我在一個佔地面積較小或存在一系列獨特障礙的房屋中工作時，我發現我總是受到創造性的推動，」。這種態度體現了瑪麗的工作作風：堅持不懈地解決問題，以取得美好的結果。在從建築轉向設計之後，她於2010年創立了自己的公司，以便與客戶建立更密切的關係，並能夠接觸到家庭的每個細節。她說「我喜歡看到完整的畫面，從開始到放置最後一件藝術品」。

Some designers might turn up their noses at a small project, but not Marie Flanigan. “When I’m working on a home that has a smaller footprint or presents a unique set of obstacles, I find I am always pushed creatively,” says the Houston-based designer.This attitude embodies Marie’s work style: relentless problem-solving to achieve a beautiful outcome. She founded her firm in 2010 after shifting from architecture to design for the closer relationship it allows with her clients and the ability to touch every detail of a home. “I love to see the complete picture, from the beginning to placing the final piece of art,” she says.

瑪麗·弗拉尼根出生在密西根州，然後搬到康乃狄克州，後來在她上一年級的時候又搬到德州。她在德克薩斯州的一個小鎮長大，一直被視覺藝術所吸引。瑪麗有一個非常藝術的家庭，她的兄弟姐妹在音樂上很有天賦，但瑪麗更喜歡視覺表達，當她年輕的時候，她爸爸每個月都會帶她去當地的小美術館旅行。

隨著瑪麗的成長，她對建築產生了興趣，並最終在德克薩斯A&M大學學習了建築。她剛從學校畢業就被聘為她的一位教授工作，然後搬到了休斯敦，最終在一家同時管理室內和建築的小公司工作。在那裡，她愛上了室內設計，並決定是時候做出改變了。

Marie Flanigan was actually born in Michigan,then moved to Connecticut and then to Texas when she was in first grade.She grew up in a small Texas town and always felt drawn to the visual arts. Marie had a very artistic family,she brothers and sisters are musically talented, but she gravitated towards the visual expression, and when she was young, her dad would take her on a trip to our little local art gallery every month. As Marie grew, she became interested in architecture and ended up studying that while at Texas A&M University. she was hired right out of school to work for one of my professors, then moved to Houston and eventually took a job at a small firm that managed both interior and construction.While there, she fell in love with interior design and decided it was time to make the switch.

瑪麗在休士頓大學獲得了MBA學位，然後在十二年前創辦了自己的室內設計公司公司。身為Marie Flanigan Interiors的負責人和所有者，她領導著一支專業團隊，負責處理德州和美國各地的專案。該公司贏得了一系列獎項和認可，包括被評為High Point Market Style Spotter和休士頓設計中心設計領導者，以及《Traditional Home》的「設計新星」和現代豪華室內設計的「最佳設計」和PaperCity的設計獎。

Marie got her MBA from the University of Houston and started her own interior design company 12 years ago.As principal and owner of Marie Flanigan Interiors, she leads a team of professionals that handles projects throughout Texas and the United States.The firm has earned a bevy of awards and recognition, including being named High Point Market Style Spotter and Houston Design Center Leader in Design, along with features in Traditional Home Magazine's "Rising Star of Design"and Modern Luxury Interiors'"Best of Design"and PaperCity's Design Award.

“一個好的室內設計不是僅依賴家具、裝飾或窗簾；它取決於建築空間和室內設計元素之間的交流。”

“A great interior doesn’t rely on the furnishings, the décor, or the drapery; it relies on how well the architecture of the space and the interior design elements speak to one another.”

"燈具可能是任何環境中最具變革性的元素。它能照亮和激發我們的活力，真正的塑造了我們對周圍環境的體驗」弗拉尼根解釋道。

“Lighting is perhaps the single most transformative element in any environment. Its power to illuminate and animate—literally—shapes how we experience our surroundings,” Flanigan explains.

一個空間可以透過適當的照明完全改變。我建議將照明類型分層，以便您可以根據您的任務和一天中的時間調整房間的亮度。根據房間的需要，我結合了嵌入式燈、吊墜燈和壁燈等等，所以氣氛可以隨著開關的翻轉而改變。

A space can be completely transformed with proper lighting. I recommend layering lighting types so you can adjust the room’s brightness depending on your task and the time of day. I incorporate recessed lights, pendants, and wall lights, etc., so the atmosphere can change with the flip of the switch.

我們每個人都有一個獨特的、原始的特徵來表達我們的個性和標誌我們的身份。可能是我們笑的方式或眉毛的怪癖讓我們變得獨特而難忘。我們在家裡也需要這樣的東西──一種能明確確立個性品質的特質。它可能是一幅引人注目的繪畫或雕塑。也許它是一個漂浮的樓梯，似乎穿過一個寧靜的入口大廳向上漂浮，或者是一個由非凡材料精心製作的物體，它令人驚嘆。

Each and every one of us has a distinct, original trait that expresses our personality and marks our identity. It might be the way we laugh or the quirk of an eyebrow that makes us unique and unforgettable. We all need something like this in our homes as well—a feature that establishes an unmistakable quality of individuality. It might be a striking painting or sculpture. Perhaps it’s a floating staircase that appears to levitate upward through a serene entrance hall or an object so exquisitely crafted from extraordinary material that it inspires wonder.
