Samantha Jo Interiors is founded on the principle that a home should reflect both enduring style and your unique story. Founder Samantha cultivates this vision by embracing the timelessness of classic design, bringing it to life in a way that feels personal and intentional. This philosophy made her partnership with Grandeur Hardware a natural fit, as both share a commitment to quality and elegant sophistication.

Samantha recently shared insights into her home transformation. She purchased her house after it had been recently flipped, which presented challenges in terms of quality and overall aesthetic. "The design didn't reflect our style," she explained. This led her to thoughtfully transform the space, elevating it from a "builder-grade" feel to a more refined, classic interior through a mix of strategic investments and affordable updates. While others may have seen a challenge, she found the entire process to be quite enjoyable.

When it came to selecting hardware for her home, Samantha’s discerning eye led her directly to Grandeur Hardware. She's always been drawn to "classic, regal hardware," and our Eden Prairie doorknob with Arc Tall Plate perfectly captured everything she was looking for. It struck "the perfect balance between timeless elegance and romantic charm," perks she also attributes to Grandeur Hardware's commitment to quality and diverse selections. While the project itself didn't take long to complete, Samantha noted that it was delayed due to some weather-related pauses caused by winter. Looking ahead, Samantha is unequivocal about her plans to continue using Grandeur Hardware, especially for her clients. "100%," she affirmed, praising the brand's "quality and styles [as] 10/10."

Samantha offered invaluable advice for anyone considering door hardware: "Don't just get what is trending." She emphasized the abundance of timeless designs and finishes, urging individuals not to limit their choices. Her wisdom lies in the understanding that "timeless hardware can grow with and elevate your home."

Samantha's design style is a rich tapestry woven from diverse inspirations. She draws from historical architecture, timeless interior design books, and the work of her favorite designers. Interestingly, even Nancy Meyers films and Disney find their way onto her list, sparking a sense of familiarity and comfort that she translates into her designs. Her overall aesthetic is a "thoughtful blend of classic and contemporary, layered with vintage touches that bring warmth and character." She’s particularly inspired by the "soft, lived-in elegance and the refined, tailored sensibility of Ralph Lauren," aiming to create spaces that feel "elevated and inviting, where vintage/tradition meets modern comfort in a beautifully curated way."

When embarking on a new project, Samantha's approach is straightforward yet effective: she begins by styling the room with a clear vision in mind. This method ensures she stays "on course" throughout the design process. Similarly, when choosing a house to buy and renovate, her primary consideration is its "potential to work with the vision" she has for the space. Samantha Jo Interiors exemplifies how a deep appreciation for timeless design, combined with thoughtful planning and quality selections, can transform a house into a truly personal and elegant home.
