Versatility, creativity, and style are the hallmarks of designer MA Allen and her nationally-recognized interiors. Ranging from showhouse rooms and tablescapes to whole-home interiors, this Raleigh-based design maven proves time and again that she can inspire through her craft. “Travel above all else, inspires me along with fashion and art. I find inspiration for unexpected color pairing in all three. I love exploring new places. Recent favorites include Cambodia and Vietnam. Morocco was another highlight. And Paris is always a good idea! But you don’t have to travel too far to appreciate all the art and culture that North Carolina has to offer.”
