Sally Wilson, ASID

An active interior designer in the Boston area since 1979, Sally Wilson, ASID, has an impressive breadth of knowledge of both fine-quality residential interiors and commercial design. Her work as an interior designer is marked by attention to minute detail, layering of sophisticated and rich ideas, imagination, variety, and an overall feeling of gracious comfort. Her clients have described her as creative, smart, style-savvy and dedicated. Comments like, "Your home looks so elegant, and yet so comfortable, too," are common.

Sally began her professional career in Florida in 1977 and in 1979 landed a position with a prominent architectural firm in Cambridge, Mass. In 1983 she founded Wilson Associates, a full-service interior design firm; 13 years later she joined forces with John Kelsey to launch Wilson Kelsey Design. Her years of creating identities for corporate offices instilled a deep understanding of details, project management and construction processes, which enhances her residential design.

With extensive experience in the field, Sally has developed three key strengths that separate her from other interior designers:

1) A deep technical knowledge that allows her to communicate well with architects

2) An extensive network of furniture and antiques contacts on two continents

3) The uncanny ability to adapt to and assimilate the design tastes of each client

Sally finds inspiration for her work in the art of Italy, France and the rest of Europe, and in classical architecture. An avid reader and museum-goer, she is also a classical pianist with a penchant for Chopin. Other aspects of life she finds important and fulfilling are her son, two dogs, gardening and entertaining.

A native of Memphis, Tenn., Sally holds a bachelor of arts (major in English literature, minor in art history) from Northwestern University and a bachelor of interior design from the University of Florida College of Architecture. She has studied art and architecture in Europe as well as the decorative arts at the prestigious Winterthur Museum in Delaware.

Sally is a full professional member of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) and holds the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) certificate.
