About Robin

Robin Rains has spent more than two decades doing what most designers only aspire to: making homes that feel genuinely, unmistakably like the people who live in them. Since founding Robin Rains Interior Design in 2001, she has built a studio grounded in a singular belief that a well-designed home isn't a statement of taste so much as a reflection of character. Her interiors are known for their warmth and restraint. Neutral palettes, natural materials, layered textures, and the quiet confidence of pieces with real histories. Robin resists trends by design. Every project begins not with a mood board but with a conversation, a careful study of how a client actually lives and what their home should feel like from the inside out.

That process is carried forward by a close-knit team of designers who share Robin's commitment to craft and craft relationships with equal seriousness. Together, they work across projects with a level of personal investment that keeps clients returning for years, through new homes, second residences, and chapters of life that call for a new kind of space.

What sets Robin apart is her role as a hands-on curator. Several times a year, she travels through France, Belgium, Spain, and Italy, moving through flea markets, private collections, warehouses, and antique fairs to find objects that carry genuine stories. It's her particular genius to bring these pieces back and place them in dialogue with contemporary work, where an 18th-century commode holds its own next to a modern canvas, and the room is richer for the tension.

The firm’s work has been featured in Architectural Digest, Veranda, Milieu, Luxe, Elle Decor, Traditional Home, and The Wall Street Journal, among other publications. She is based in Nashville, where her studio and gallery showroom are housed at the Nashville Design Collective.
