Colorful Concepts Interior Design

Sally Williams

Sally Williams is passionately committed to making a positive impact in her clients’ lives. Her design aesthetic isn’t limited to just one style. From French country to contemporary to traditional and more, Sally is an expert at working in any design style her clients love.

Before following her creative side, Sally used the accounting degree she earned from the College of William and Mary to work in corporate accounting management. This background benefits Sally’s design clients today. She eventually decided to follow her passion for fine art and crafts by opening a gallery in downtown Raleigh, NC.

During her seven years of gallery ownership, Sally discovered her talent for interior design. Visitors commented again and again on the way the colorful space made them feel welcome and uplifted. With the encouragement of gallery clients, friends, and family, Sally became educated in all things interior design and in 2002, closed the gallery and opened Colorful Concepts.

Her experiences with the gallery and the artists whose work she carried there continue to inform Sally’s design approach today. Sally begins her designs with the color palette, allowing color to set the tone for the entire project. She transforms a space the way an artist might transform a canvas, creating balanced composition and soulful color schemes.

As the daughter of a U. S. Foreign Service Officer, Sally spent much of her childhood overseas.That experience, combined with her multi-cultural heritage of French-Canadian on her father’s side and Peruvian on her mother’s, plays a huge role in Sally’s creativity and ability to envision and design spaces in styles that span a world of cultures, eras, and styles.

Sally is CQRID-certified and past president of the Triangle NC Chapter of the IDS; and a member of numerous professional associations. She has lived in Raleigh for thirty years, where she and her husband raised their two daughters.
