HGTV star Genevieve Gorder tells us what inspires her playful style.
Watching her on shows from TLC’s Trading Spaces to HGTV’s Dear Genevieve (among many more), we’ve loved Genevieve Gorder's soulful, playful style. So we sat down to chat about what inspires her...and let her inspire us!
Interior designer Genevieve Gorder
When Genevieve was asked to audition for Trading Spaces (after making a name for herself on MTV), she didn’t react as positively as you’d think. “I was like, ‘No! Interior design is so lame.’ I had an idea of who that lady was, and she was not chic. I had watched Designing Women, and I wasn’t that girl. I wasn’t Dixie Carter with the big scarf and frou-frou hair, holding a mint julep. Interiors didn’t feel cool back then. And I didn’t want to get into something uncool,” explains Genevieve. “But once I saw how creative it could be and how much you could do with an approachable amount of money, I was very interested.”
