The Story Behind The Style

The Interior Edge (TIE), founded in 1990 by Joanne Riley, A.S.I.D., delivers luxury interiors that combine heart and precision. For over three decades, TIE has transformed homes and spaces into timeless expressions of beauty, balance, and comfort. Our promise: to take you from concept to completion with professionalism, creativity, and a touch of magic.

What sets us apart? “Love lives here,” as Joanne Riley puts it. That belief fuels everything we do. At TIE, design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about creating environments that nurture growth, provide security, and bring joy every single day.

Our process is thoughtful, collaborative, and detail-obsessed. From architecture, lighting, and space planning to the finishing touches of color, texture, and style, we design with intention. No detail is too small—whether it’s the placement of a window or the fresh flowers that welcome you home.

We stay ahead of the curve with ongoing education, partnerships with industry leaders, and cutting-edge technology that allows clients to visualize their dream space before it becomes reality.

Every project is unique, just like the people we serve. While our portfolio spans the globe, we frequently work in the Berkshires, New York City, Connecticut, and Greater Boston. Wherever the project, our mission is simple: to design interiors that exceed expectation, inspire joy, and feel like home.

Joanne Riley, A.S.I.D.

Joanne Riley, A.S.I.D. is the founder, owner, and lead designer of The Interior Edge. Her decades of design training, global travel, and commitment to self-development have shaped a practice defined by custom design and long-lasting client satisfaction.

Joanne’s aesthetic and methodology are rooted in a lifetime of diverse experiences. Growing up, she experienced two dramatically different family homes. The first, a Dutch Colonial in the bustling heart of New York City, was steeped in tradition and style, with interiors crafted by her mother. Later, her parents lifelong New Yorkers designed and built a groundbreaking contemporary home on 144 acres in the Berkshires. With its 95 angular windows and suspended fireplace, it was far ahead of its time. For Joanne, one of six children, the space was liberating, though adjusting to country living at 14 was no small task especially when trying to keep mud off her beloved purple platform shoes.

From the Berkshires to the world stage, Joanne carved out a successful equestrian career, earning a Bachelor of Science in Equestrian Studies and competing at the grand-prix level of dressage. Her travels—particularly in France, which she fondly embraces as a self-proclaimed Francophile further broadened her perspective before she refocused her passion toward interior design.

With deep family roots in furniture retail, Joanne possesses a discerning instinct for selecting quality furnishings, paired with a natural eye for space, proportion, and style. She refined her skills at Paier College of Art Graduate School and trained under two of New York’s most elite designers before establishing her own studio. Her ability to intuitively understand her clients’ needs, paired with her design expertise, has led to enduring relationships The Interior Edge still serves her very first client.

Joanne is an award-winning member of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) and a Certified Feng Shui Professional (CFSP), having earned her certification in Beijing, China. Her work has been published both nationally and internationally, and she holds the distinction of being the very first designer to be featured on the cover of ASID’s magazine, ICON.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when I hire you to design my home?

First, we talk about what you like and what you need. Then we make a plan to help your space look better and work better for your life. We show you ideas, help pick things like colors and furniture, and take care of the little details so you don’t have to worry.

Do I need to redesign my whole house, or can we do just one room?

You can start with just one room if you want! Many people begin with a room that needs the most help, like the living room or bedroom. Later, we can work on more areas when you’re ready. We make each space feel fresh and connected to the rest of your home.

How do you decide what styles and colors to use?

We learn about your taste, what colors make you happy, and how you want your home to feel. Then we create a design that fits you perfectly. You get to see pictures and ideas before anything is bought, so everything feels just right.

 Can you work with what I already have in my home?

Yes! We love using your favorite pieces and making them shine. We can mix your old things with new ones to give your space a fresh look without starting from scratch.

How much does it cost to work with you?

We have different packages depending on what you need. Some people just want help picking colors or arranging furniture, while others want a full makeover. We’ll talk about your budget and help you get the most value out of every dollar.

How long does the design process take?

It depends on the project. A simple room update can take a few days or weeks, while a full-home design takes longer. Don’t worry—we’ll give you a clear timeline and keep you updated every step of the way.

Do I need to be involved in every decision?

Only if you want to be! We’re happy to guide you and handle the hard parts. You’ll get to see choices and give feedback, but we’ll take care of the heavy lifting so you can relax and enjoy the results.

What if I’m not sure I’ll like the final design?

That’s okay! We show you ideas, colors, and layouts before we start, so you can feel confident. If something doesn’t feel right, we’ll adjust it. Our goal is to make sure you’re 100% happy with your space.
