Tribeza Interiors Tour 2020: Heather Blue Harkovich
Harkovich embraces warmer, more personal interiors in her projects
Memphis-born Heather Blue Harkovich of Heather Scott Home & Design got the travel bug from a young age, moving many times during her childhood throughout the U.S. and Western Europe. It’s these early experiences that continue to inspire her designs. With a focus on classic palettes and serene aesthetics, she describes her style as new traditional, an updated approach on timeless shapes, layouts and textures. One of her latest projects, which is featured in Tribeza’s Interiors Tour 2020, is the perfect example. She transformed a cramped home into a rich entertaining space with a double kitchen island and added in color via accessories.
We asked each of the designers on this year’s Interiors Tour to answer a series of questions about their personal style and aesthetic to get a deeper sense of their influences and what informs their design.
