About Handley Home Interiors

Meet Shannon, the heart behind the design!

I've always believed that a thoughtfully designed home has the power to shape the way we feel and live.

Perhaps that's why I've always been drawn to beauty, not only in interiors, but in the quiet details of everyday life. The intricate pattern of a leaf, the symmetry of a flower, the sculptural details of a seashell… I've always found inspiration in the everyday beauty of our surroundings.  That perspective has shaped the way I approach every home design. I believe our homes should inspire us in the same way!

I believe great design begins with listening. Understanding who you are, how you live, and what brings you joy. For more than twenty years, I've had the privilege of helping families create homes that feel timeless, welcoming, and deeply personal. Every project is a collaboration built on trust, thoughtful guidance, and the belief that your home should reflect not only your style, but the life you hope to live within it. Every home has a story waiting to be told…yours!

Always Learning, Always Growing

As well as aligning myself with trusted resources and vendors in the area. The design world is constantly evolving, and I believe in growing alongside it to bring you the freshest ideas and most innovative solutions.

Shannon loves to stay inspired! Attending trade shows like High Point Market and the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show keeps our studio sharp and future focused. We explore new resources, product launches, and hands on learning so our work stays current and inspired.

Sometimes the smallest moments become the most mea Sometimes the smallest moments become the most meaningful milestones. 🦋

I recently came across this photo from my very first High Point Market in 2014. (Swipe to see!)

I remember that day so clearly. I was excited, nervous, a little intimidated, and quietly wondering if I had what it took to turn my love of design into something more.

And then, as fate would have it, I met Candice Olson, the very designer who had inspired me years earlier as I sat in bed with my daughter watching "Divine Design", dreaming of one day having a design business of my own.

In that moment, something shifted. I felt like I was exactly where I was meant to be.

The journey since then hasn’t always been a straight line. There were years spent raising my children, navigating life’s different seasons, and finding the confidence to believe that I could build a business doing what I truly love.

But looking back, I realize that every season had its purpose.

Today, I’m incredibly grateful for how far I’ve come, the talented team beside me, and the wonderful clients who trust us to create homes that reflect their lives and the things they love most.

Handley Home Interiors was once just a dream. Today, it’s something I’m incredibly proud to have built.

And to @candiceolsondesign - thank you for inspiring a young mom who had a dream long before she had the courage to chase it! 

Here’s to trusting the journey, embracing the unexpected, and remembering that it’s never too late to become who you were meant to be. 

Also, a big thank you to everyone who has supported my business along the way!💞

Another beautiful installation day at our Heritage Another beautiful installation day at our Heritage in Oak Brook project! 🤍

Thoughtfully curated in collaboration with our homeowner, these spaces are a beautiful reflection of her personal style and the way her family lives.

For the dining room, we embraced the home’s traditional heritage while creating a fresh, sophisticated design that celebrates its beautiful architecture. The adjoining music room was transformed into a cozy, inviting retreat that effortlessly doubles as a homework space...perfect for both relaxing and working.

We listened, we collaborated, and we delivered. Because great design isn’t just about creating beautiful spaces, it’s about creating a home that feels authentically yours.

It's dining room season! We love how this beautifu It's dining room season! We love how this beautiful dining room in our Monroe traditional project turned out. Mixing family heirlooms with beautiful found pieces and gorgeous wallpaper to finish the room! 

Here's a quick tip as you're getting ready to entertain for the season. Make sure you set the mood. Lighting is everything! Soft warm light from lamps and put the overhead chandelier on a dimmer switch. We use warm LED 2700 Kelvin lightbulbs. This will create a room for lingering longer!

A home rooted in nature and designed for timeless A home rooted in nature and designed for timeless living. 🤎

For our Unionville New Build, we layered warm woods, natural stone, organic textures, and a soft neutral palette to create a home that feels refined, welcoming, and effortlessly connected to its surroundings.

Every finish was thoughtfully selected to bring warmth, character, and longevity to this beautiful modern organic home...proof that neutral never has to feel ordinary!

We loved bringing this vision to life alongside @stevemeltonconstruction. We couldn't have done it without his amazing team and attention to detail!

As designers, we're always seeking inspiration for As designers, we're always seeking inspiration for our next project. Here's a sneak peek of my inspiration pin board that I keep right in the middle of my studio. It's filled with beautiful inspiration pics, fabric samples, and finishes. 

Yes, I'm still an old-fashioned gal who loves magazine clippings. I guess you could say this is an old-school version of a Pinterest board!😆

We can't wait to bring some of this inspiration into your home!
