Born from a passion.
I joined the industry because of my passion for design. I began my business because of my passion for people. The two live harmoniously in Coastal Interiors. I've always had an instinct to see spaces in their best light and full potential. I love helping my clients find their best spaces and love their homes again.
Education & Credentials
Instincts and eye for design are key, but education and credentials are at the business core. I have a Bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin, and a Certificate in Interior Design from the New York Institute of Art & Design. Coastal Interiors has been in business since 2011, with a portfolio of over 100 clients, and styles ranging from traditional to contemporary.
Client Reviews
"I recommend Coastal Interior wholeheartedly!"
I can't say enough about working with Emily. The exceptional service I received from Coastal Interiors was outstanding. Emily has a wonderful eye for detail and color. She listened to my issues and ideas and came up with a wonderful plan for our house. She was able to take my boring living room and kitchen and transform it into something cozy and welcoming. I couldn't have had a better and more rewarding relationship. I recommend Coastal Interiors wholeheartedly!“

"I felt that I had a real partner in making my home beautiful."
There are not enough words to express what a wonderful experience it was to work with Emily from Coastal Interiors. Our home is over 100 years old which presents some challenges when designing/arranging spaces. Emily took on the challenge of our living room and absolutely breathed new life into it! Emily spent time in our home getting a feel of how we use the room and what our taste is. Her inspiration board of the room helped me to envision a beautiful space that was within my reach. Everything—from the wall color to the rug, from the furniture choice and arrangement to the lighting—was perfect for our taste, our budget and our lifestyle. She masterfully incorporated my beloved family antiques into the design and made them relevant to the design. She was SO easy to work with! I felt that I had a real partner in making my home beautiful. The end result speaks for itself. I come home to a warm, comfortable, beautiful space each day. And THAT is worth its weight in gold!

"Emily listens and learns your style..."
I worked with Emily Bartelme from Coastal Interiors for a project to redecorate my living/dining room.
Emily was great to work with! She did a fantastic job of coming up with a design that incorporated the furniture and accents that I wanted to keep with ideas for some new pieces. Emily listens and learns your style and at the same time helps you think “outside the box”. The result was perfect for our home.
If you are looking for a knowledgeable decorator who is easy to work with, I would highly recommend Emily!
