Meet Susan Main Line Interior Designer - Susan Rains Design

about susan

Hi, and thank you for being here! I'm Interior Designer Susan Rains, and I take home design off your plate so you can do more of what you love and spend time with family and friends.

I know that pulling your home together can feel like a second job, and you don’t have the time. Even if you like to DIY, shopping for the right things can be overwhelming and time-consuming. There are so many details to consider, and making the wrong choices can be costly.

What you love and perhaps already own becomes my design muse. I'm creative but not commanding. I won’t sweep into your home, imposing a single vision. I’m about helping you uncover your style and guiding you through the home design process to completion. Nothing makes me happier than ensuring my clients live in a home that empowers them to live the life they desire, perfectly tailored to how they live and their personal style.

My love of design started in my childhood. My mother collected antiques and took me to flea markets, yard sales, and auctions, honing my eye for exceptional craftsmanship. She also loved to draw and paint. I followed in her footsteps, leading to my first degree in Studio Art and a minor in Art History.  

When I'm not taking fantastic care of a wonderful client, you can find me working on an art project, unwinding with a book, or watching movies snuggled with our cat Sesame. On the weekends, my favorite things include the outdoors, natural history and art museums, dining out, and good conversation over a glass of wine. I strive for a balanced life that feeds my heart, body, mind, and soul.

Before taking the leap into entrepreneurship, I worked in creative fields that honed the excellent customer service and project management skills I use today. I hold two degrees: one is a B.A. in Art Studio from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. My second degree is a Master of Interior Architecture and Design from Drexel University.

Always learning, I keep my design skills, resources, and product knowledge sharp by attending trade shows and conferences throughout the year. You can count on me to inform you about new products, materials, and healthier and safer options. 

Schedule your design discovery consult to uncover your interior design vision and a plan to make it happen today.
