Urban Getaways Design and Style Started in 2018. It was birthed by the notion that interior home style should be beautiful and functional. Spaces evoke feelings. Creating the right feeling doesn’t always come naturally, sometimes it needs to be curated. Our goal is to help residential homeowners achieve their dream space. We’ll collaborate through a simple design process to create a comprehensive plan that will transform your home into a dynamic space.

GREVSTÅD

Arin

Christian Grevstad is an interior designer for our times – a traveler, who finds challenges in studying art and architecture, learning to fly, defying his Norwegian bloodline to speak French – not just in design, but from the heart, the way he hears it from another life, another time. Grevstad began his journey into design on the rugged confines of a commercial fishing boat in Alaska at the age of 11. Decades later, this award-winning Washington State native is still expressing the thrill from that initial brush with the power of nature, weaving it into the fabric of his design.

GREVSTAD – Interior Design Firm, which specializes in residential, yacht, retail and hospitality Interior Design, has been the recipient of many fine accolades and awards for its design projects and the subject of numerous national & international magazine articles. The firm has a gifted and supportive staff at all levels. Their support is paramount to Christian’s personal involvement as they have the professional expertise, talent and experience to execute all phases of the design process.

“We are a turnkey design firm that is very technically driven,” says Grevstad. Grevstad designs everything from interior architecture to furniture, lighting, carpets, fabrics, millwork and accessories. He will even set the table for the clients before they move in. Projects encompass the selection of all components of the architectural envelope and the assessment of all site conditions which are essential to the Grevstad design practice. Christian has garnered collaboration with a myriad of support services from like-minded professional colleagues, fabricators, and esteemed artisans.

Upon returning to the U.S., she went on to serve as Editor-in-Chief of Elle Décor and House Beautiful, shaping the way we view interiors.

Now, in the second phase of her career, McEvoy has emerged as a decorative artisan and textile designer, with two beautiful fabric collections under her belt—one with Schumacher and another with Kerry Joyce. In this intimate one-on-one Q&A session, we’ll explore her experiences in Paris, her insights into the transformation of the interior publishing world, her tips on gracious entertaining and design, and the process behind creating a textile or product collection.
