ABOUT
Sarah Storms is an interior designer based in historic Maplewood, New Jersey.
During her studies in Fine Art & Interior Design at James Madison University, Sarah lived abroad in Vienna, Austria where her love for design truly bloomed. The influences of color, the juxtaposition of historic versus modern, and the great artists and designers from the succession movement are foundational in her work.
Upon graduation, she moved to Los Angeles and worked for lighting designer Alison Berger and learned the beautiful dance of conceptual design and functional art. She then launched her near 20-year career in the New York City fashion world and most notably fashion icon Ralph Lauren for 13 years. Here she led her team in not only developing luxury apparel but also designing lush textiles & perfecting her trained color eye.
Sarah launched Styled by Storms in January of 2021. Her unique background and editorial point of view allow for her creative passion for interiors, textiles — and most importantly —color to shine through.
Rooted in traditional principles, the key elements of her work have strong color moments, playful animals, and slight irreverence. All this is carefully layered and curated to inspire and spark happiness.
“I think even when you have a client who is looking to really push the philosophy of using color, you also have to remember how to balance it so there’s a real grounded force of timelessness.”
