ABOUT NANCY LANE INTERIORS
Nancy Barnett
Founder, Owner, & Principal Designer
Globe-trotting homebody, design dilemma decoder, writer, personal growth junkie, collector of life lessons, runner, wife, mother, and heart-and-soul client caretaker...
Nancy is the type of designer who brings both wisdom and warmth to every space she touches.
It may surprise you to know that Nancy also holds a degree in chemistry, but then again, there's clearly an art and a science behind the transformations she's created in her clients' homes since 2015.
While many designers look to a great fabric or a piece of art as the inspiration for a space, Nancy approaches her designs the same way she lives her life: People first. She begins each project by listening to her clients to understand who they are and how they live. Then she kindly but expertly takes charge, leading the vision, guiding decisions, and streamlining the entire design process to make life during the project easier for everyone involved.
Driven by her passion to help people love where they live, Nancy enjoys lasting relationships with clients in and around Houston, Texas as well as Colorado, North & South Carolina, Georgia, and anywhere they call home. Speaking of home, with their three sons now all in college, Nancy and her husband relocated in 2026 to their happy place in Palmetto Bluff where they now enjoy Lowcountry living at its best. When she's not designing beautiful spaces, you'll find Nancy elbow deep in dirt gardening or making her way through a pre-dawn run.

"Just before I turned eight, we lost our family home to a fire. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but in the coming years, I watched as my parents struggled to build a new house. They worked extremely hard to put a roof over their five daughters' heads and put our family home back together. My Dad served as the contractor and the rest of us helped in whatever way we could, hauling bricks across the yard, painting our rooms, fixing up furniture, sewing curtains, you name it, we did it. To say that this experience is at the center of who I am and why I do what I do is an understatement. I know firsthand the importance of home. I know what it is to want and need a personal space where you can close the door on the world and just be yourself. I know what it's like to not feel at home in the place where you keep your belongings and rest your head at night. I can't control every circumstance that makes people feel that way, but its my utmost goal and privilege to make sure my clients feel truly, madly, and deeply in love with the home where they live." ~ Nancy
