REGINA DiLAURO-FAY
interior designer & muralist
My love for design started in the 80’s as a little girl going to art school with my mom. I learned that all design ideas are worthy. . . but certain concepts fit some people better than others. My design philosophy feels the same. I love & appreciate many design styles but ultimately my job is to uncover what style speaks to you. Each of my clients are so special in their own way. I love getting to know you & creating a design specifically for you & your lifestyle.
Regina DF Designs officially began as a mural painting side job over 20 years ago once I completed my BFA in Fine Arts from Syracuse University. I went on to continue my education in Interior Design at FIT in NYC. Over the years, I’ve expanded into product design, residential renovations & full-service Interior Design with clients all over the US.
After many, many moves, my retired Coast Guard husband, daughter & I have found our home in RVA - it has so much to offer; outdoor activities, amazing people with a thriving art scene and so much more I have yet to discover!
The Design Process
DF Designs believes great design starts with what you already love—whether it’s inherited furniture, meaningful artwork, or favorite pieces you want to keep. During our first meeting, we’ll talk about your vision for your home, how you want the space to feel, and how you want to live in it. I can help design an entire house, transform a single special room, or simply refine what you already have. We’ll begin with an introductory call to discuss the project and get to know each other, followed by a complimentary in-home consultation to see the space, take measurements, and understand your lifestyle. From there, I’ll develop a custom design plan outlining the scope of work, timeline, budget, and cost estimate—then the fun begins as we bring your beautiful, livable space to life.
