The art and depth of design does not end for Barbara when she walks out of the door of her office. If anything, that’s when the creative process begins. Barbara Balongue does not glance at color swatches to choose the wall color for a client’s special space. She does not thumb through texture samples in deciding what will compliment a furniture swatch. What Barbara does is keep her senses attuned to what nature, places, and memories are saying to her in a language she understands so well.

Walking in an Italian village with the late afternoon sunlight striking a wall, presenting a beautiful canvas of colors. Running her hand along the surface of an antique chest. Picking up an abandoned conch shell nestled in the white sand. Listening to the refrain in an operatic movement. Watching the hue of burgundy bouncing from a wine glass across a simple white tablecloth. Every aspect of life is fair game for Barbara’s ideas.

And she is deeply in love with life experiences, from travel and art history, to her love for the piano. Simply stated, she truly relishes all that life has to offer. Whether it’s a Healthcare, Hospitality, or Corporate project, Barbara will illuminate the vast range of options that will be used to create your dream design.

Her senses are so finely tuned that she leverages experience and intellect to dream up design in 3-D. Not imagining but knowing exactly what the result of a combination of light, color, texture, style, and structure will be. And easing you through the process with a hand and an eye you can have faith in – through every decision. Translated, you can trust every decision Barbara makes because the finished design is already embedded in her mind and wrapped around her heart. Part Wonder Woman (without the lasso), part Renaissance woman, and the embodiment of Balongue Design. That’s Barbara.
