CALL IT THE POWER OF A PASSPORT. Amy Berry wasn’t sure which path to take a�er earning a business degree, until trips to Florence, Amsterdam, and Marra kech cemented her love of interiors. She enrolled at London’s Inchbald School of Design and never looked back. “A�er, I marched into Pierre Frey and said, ‘I really love it here and just want a job,’” the 27-year-old recalls. She worked at Volga Linen, too, before moving back to Texas, where her real estate–agent mother-in-law introduced her to her first client, and—presto!—a career mixing Southern glamour with European refinement was born.

Mirrors bring lightness and glamour to a client’s small bath. Kallista sconces; Ann Sacks tiles.
