ESIGNING A NEW HOME OR UPDATING existing spaces can be

an exciting process—but it’s not necessarily straightforward. Hiring the professionals at Allison Campbell Design, a full-service interior design firm can make that process smoother, more organized and ultimately, more affordable.

“I create solutions, I’m a problem solver,” says owner and principal designer Allison Campbell. “I’m involved in the whole process from plan to design to completion. I work with the subcontractors onsite and builders call me directly, so my clients don’t have to figure things out.”

This meticulous, detail-oriented firm started in 1999 and its members

quickly earned a reputation as experts in construction design. “Our approach blends knowledge, experience, talent and a touch of humor to make your building journey as enjoyable as possible,” says Campbell.

With experience in new construction as well as remodels, this firm offers incredible attention to detail. “Trust the process. The build will be a multifaceted process and often, things won’t make Sense—it isn’t always logical,” says Campbell. “Sometimes, what looks good on paper doesn’t really always fit in reality.

Don’t get frustrated if you take a step backwards, and don’t be afraid to ask questions.”

ALLISON CAMPBELL Owner and Principal Designer

“Every successful project starts with building relationships.

We advocate for our clients so that when they come home, they feel like they are home. I work directly for the homeowners without stepping on builders’ or subcontractors’ toes. I see everyone’s part in this process and try to advocate for all parties. To get the finished product right; we work as a team.”

ASK THE EXPERT WHAT ARE YOU KNOWN FOR?

We’re known for creating a “feeling” in a home, rather than focusing on a specific style. That comes from making sure our clients’ thoughts, concerns, worries and needs are in the forefront, everything else follows that.

WHAT SETS YOUR WORK APART?

Our stellar team. I wholeheartedly stand behind my knowledge and my work. I believe that you can have a fabulous build experience when you have crafted the right team.

THREE WORDS THAT BEST DESCRIBE YOUR SERVICE

TAH WINTERS ARE ROUGH AND TAKE A TOLL on your roof.

Bartile can inspect your tile roof to see what needs to be replaced or repaired.

“No matter what type of roof you have, inspect in spring to see what damage winter did,” says Nick Evans, general manager. “We’re the only manufacturer that has a maintenance department that can service your tile roof.”

You should have your roof looked at every 2–5 years depending on your roof type. “Bartile offers full-service roof inspections as well as seasonal upkeep for northern Utah,” Evans explains. Even if you live outside of northern Utah, they can recommend a certified installer that can do the job for you.

Incombustible, Bartile roof tiles far surpass a class-A fire rating and have a 75-year warranty. Some styles even have a class-4 hail rating. “If you think you may need a new roof, give us a call and we’ll give you a free estimate for any type of roof replacement,” Evans says.

If you had issues with snow sliding on a tile or metal roof, spring is the season to address it. “Even if yours is not a Bartile roof, we provide snow retention solutions on any type of roof and give you a bid for installation,” says Evans. “We’ve been around for 82 years, and for most of that time, we’ve had the installation as well as the manufacturing portions of our company. Some of the roofs we installed that first year are still in place.”

NICK EVANS General Manager “Think tiles are bulky? Think again.

With our metal gabled finish options, our New England slate tiles not only have a slate look, but when raked with a straight brush, they have a great shake look as well. We can help you create a crisp, thin look at a fraction of the cost and without the fire hazard or maintenance issues of wood or stone.”

ASK THE EXPERT WHAT ARE YOUR CLIENTS ASKING FOR RIGHT NOW?

Custom factory blends. We do multiple runs of different colors and then we blend those into a single palette. You can choose any color under the sun and we’ll create it.

WHAT INFLUENCES AND INSPIRES YOUR WORK?

The creativity of our clients, homeowners, designers and architects.

They give us a feel of what they want and then let us create. We’ve traveled through Europe and studied different roofs from the Old World. We’ve also explored the West to study rustic, thick shakes and crisp, contemporary wood shingles. We create custom options based on our travel and clients.

COMMON MISTAKES HOMEOWNERS MAKE:

Thinking tile is too heavy for a roof.

Our UltraLite tile is so lightweight that it can go on almost any roof along the Wasatch Front. We’ve been making it for more than 40 years, so it’s just as strong and durable as our regular weight tile and has the same warranty.

Custom integrated marble sinks in Sahara Noir Honed Marble. Yes, Mother Earth really did produce this spectacular line-veined marble.

However, European Marble & Granite matched the veins while fabricating the sinks.

Cristallo Quartzite and Onyx can be used at backlit walls, countertops, fireplaces, bars and more.

Words to the wise: “The requests we receive for stone slab work and also for tile are becoming more and more detailed and custom.

My recommendation to all considering a new build or remodel is to get started early. Take the time to learn about the imaginative possibilities and design accordingly.”

ASK THE EXPERT WHAT NEW INNOVATIONS EXCITE YOU? We are seeing a resurgence of the use of natural stone in both slab and tile. We continually expand our offerings and have many more options available in Marble, Limestone, Onyx, Travertine and Quartzite than we did just a few years ago.

To enjoy the aesthetic of custom, handmade, hand-glazed tile, allow 8–10 weeks to order.

It’s worth the wait. Here, glazed tile with terra cotta body.

WHAT SETS YOUR WORK APART? Custom work and expert installation.

We fabricate custom-designed integrated stone sinks and bathtubs daily. These sinks and tubs require carefully considered design as well as a very high level of craftsmanship to produce and install.

WHAT IS A FREQUENT CLIENT REQUEST OR NEED RIGHT NOW?

Black Diamond Leathered Quartzite sink with Strié edge detail. European Marble & Granite is a certified stone sink fabricator.

A blast from the past: Once again we are using words like “Ogee,” “Cove,” “DuPont” and “Strié” in our daily vocabulary. These edge profiles and techniques are making a comeback.

With experience in new construction as well as remodels, Hawthorn Homes offers a reliable perspective to help you create spaces that will do that for you. “Innovations in home design and technology is exciting,” Muehlmann says. “We enjoy helping our clients incorporate good ideas into everything we do.”

MIKE MUEHLMANN Owner Pro tip: “Building your dream home is a process and you deserve to enjoy it. Take the time to interview and evaluate multiple builders. Consider how prepared they were for the meetings.

Consider the quality of their questions. If they don’t impress you, then move on.”

ELM HAS BEEN FURNISHING UTAH’S FINEST HOMES since 1976

— but they don’t do it alone. Helm partners with professional designers and decorators across the state to help them source luxury furniture for their most important projects. Professionals love working with Helm because of its industry-best partnership program.

“By allowing Helm to manage all of the logistics of ordering, shipping, receiving and warehousing, designers can focus on taking care of their clients and designing homes,” says owner Chris Ross.

Helm also offers access to volume discounts from a worldwide network of furniture manufacturers, including luxury brands like Baker, Century, Bernhardt, Hickory Chair, Lexington, Massoud and

more. Designers can use Helm’s local 30,000-square-foot showroom as if it were their own and bring their clients to browse, see and touch the furniture, fabrics and other materials. “We also offer instant off-the-showroom-floor sourcing of furniture for urgent needs, short- or long-term storage with no warehousing fees, and white-glove, blanket-wrapped delivery,” Ross says.

With so many cost-free benefits for trade professionals, it’s no wonder Helm has become a trusted source for designers, decorators and high-end homeowners across the state. Helm gives them everything they need to achieve their vision and maximize the true potential of their projects, wherever those homes are located.

HEN IT COMES TO SELECTING TILE for your

home, consider talking to a historical expert. “We’ve helped with several significant historical projects across the state,” says Leah Wynn, owner of Inside Out Architecturals.

“We provide materials, advise designers on which tiles to use and how to install them, consult on the proper colors for different eras and even what kinds of tiles were used. For example, most people think 3-by-6-inch subway tiles are vintage. But actually, 4-by-4-inch square tiles were around a long time before the subway tiles and used in arches and wainscoting.”

Inside Out Architecturals provides a variety of materials to create an environment customized for every individual. Leah Wynn and her team

can help you update and restore the original tile in your home rather than replacing it. “Exterior details such as crowns, dental moldings, even classic design patterns like egg and dart fascinate me,” she says. “That’s why we’re called Inside Out Architecturals.”

Representing more than 50 unique decorative tile lines, Inside Out Architecturals boasts an intriguing collection of tile options from one-ofa-kind stones and large-format glass to enduring traditional flooring and historical ornamentals. “We carry the handiwork of today’s artisans in metal and ceramic tile, glass, leather and dimensional tile that are best described as art.” That includes Rookwood Pottery tile, one of the first female-owned tile manufacturers in the U.S.

LEAH WYNN Owner Clients would be shocked to know: “I have years of experience and expertise in historical tiles. I am on a list of people in Utah who can consult on historical tile, work frequently with a historian from one of the most influential religious organizations in the state to renovate local churches and buildings, and am a member of the Tile Heritage Foundation.”

ASK THE EXPERT WHAT MAKES UTAH A UNIQUE PLACE FOR YOUR PRODUCTS? Utah is an interesting place. From the Avenues, East Bench and Sugarhouse up into Weber valley, there are hundreds of homes designed in the Victorian or Arts and Crafts Prairie styles. That means there are a lot of vintage Claycraft and Batchelder art tiles. So, a lot of people want to either replace, restore or preserve them. We’ve replicated approximately 10 of these beautiful tiles.

PEOPLE COME TO US FOR: Help reinvigorating, repairing or matching historical tiles. Sometimes people need help identifying the tiles, how they were created or painted etc. I’ve worked on well over 100 fireplaces, helping to restore or hand paint the tiles. I know how to work with the material that was used and can make it look like it belongs there and fix the damage.

WHAT INFLUENCES AND INSPIRES YOUR WORK? Whenever I travel with my husband— even if it’s just a short local road trip, I stop at homes and museums to look at bathrooms and fireplaces. I am a tile geek and I love historical architecture.

built over the years. We’re growing and taking on new challenges in architecture, hard finishes, space planning, locations and material requirements.”

From resorts and restaurants to retail shops and residences, the firm has completed projects coast-to-coast. “A dream team is made up of different players: the homeowners, the architect, the builder and the interior designer,” says Rocke. “Each has different perspectives and objectives and all contribute valuable insight.”

Rocke recommends following some key steps to creating your dream home.

“Site your house on the lot to maximize views and create as much privacy as possible. Make sure your spaces are the right dimensions for your furniture and needs with moments of imaginative pause and awe,” she says. “Design a layout in alignment with your lifestyle. Finally, curate your design-build team with care and consideration. Select reputable people you have a pleasant rapport with.”

KRISTIN ROCKE Principal and Owner Pro tip: “Once the design is almost finalized, do a face-to-face page turn with the whole team: architect, builder, engineer, interior designer and client. This helps everyone identify incongruences or issues, create solutions before the build and identify cost-prohibitive items or detail opportunities.”

ASK THE EXPERT WE ARE BEST KNOWN FOR: Our vast knowledge. We have years of experience working with several architects and builders across the nation. That means we can advocate for our client’s vision and their bottom line.

WHAT MAKES UTAH A UNIQUE PLACE FOR YOUR BUSINESS? I’m from Utah and I love our culture: the stick-to-itiveness, industriousness and creativity.

WHAT INFLUENCES AND INSPIRES YOUR WORK? The natural beauty of each project site is so spectacular, there is so much to draw on for inspiration. Designing for different seasons is dynamic and exciting: comfortable entertaining spaces for long summer nights or cozy spaces with a fireplace for winter months. We love designing outdoor spaces that fit the seasons and showcase how the light changes from season to season.
