Meet the designer.

Diane Kolak, Design Consultant and owner of Dwelement™ Home Design, LLC

 

 

I love designing all kinds of things—especially interiors. I approach each project using design principles that are second nature to me: balanced proportion, pleasing color, smooth flow, efficient and effective function. I believe a space should reflect its setting and its inhabitants, and that everyone deserves the practical and spiritual benefits of a well designed room. That's what led me to start Dwelement Home Design.


I'm an experienced art director and publication designer with a degree in art and graphic design, and I've had a lifelong interest in architecture and interior design. For five years I spent my free time designing our ideal house, and in 2006 my husband and I were privileged to build it. I designed the house inside and out and, thanks to top-notch execution from my builder, won five awards in the local home builder's association home tour. The house has since been featured in two magazines:


Fine Homebuilding's Annual Houses Issue, Spring 2009. Read the article.
Northern Home & Cottage, September 2007. Read the article.

I work from my home office near Traverse City, Michigan, but eDecor allows me to design a room anywhere in the world. In Northern Michigan, I offer a range of in-home design services as well as eDecor Plans. Contact me to determine which service fits your needs best.

 

EMAIL ME to arrange an in-home consultation or to get started with eDecor.

 

Dwelement™ Home Design was formerly called Inspired Room Design.
