How does Sensible Space design a room for a client?
We listen...to proposed purpose for the room; to stories about furniture and artwork inherited from past generations; to favorite colors; to likes and dislikes. Our business is based on caring about people and fulfilling their wishes - not a formula from a book. Because we listen, our clients are happy to be home!
"Rich colors are typical of a rich nature."

Ann Hodges and the Sensible Space Story
Ann Smith Hodges (photo left), owner of Sensible Space, was directly involved in the construction and real estate industries for over 18 years both as a family member and part owner of Hobart Smith Homes in Charlotte, North Carolina. One of the most rewarding aspects of her job was working with home buyers to select the decorator touches for their new home: bricks, paint colors, floor coverings, counter tops, etc. Ann knows construction from the ground up!

After leaving the family business, Ann combined her years of experience and training as an Interior Decorator and opened Sensible Space serving both residential and commercial clients. Ann’s clients appreciate her ability to listen to their needs, suggestions and preferences. The design for each home or business is specific to the client because each client is unique.
No project is too big or too small for the Sensible Space team. The team includes a wonderful contractor, electricians and plumbers on call, a painting company, wallpaper installers, carpet suppliers and installers, window treatment designer and the list goes on. These experienced tradespeople provide superior service and quality craftsmanship.
As clients’ needs grew so did Sensible Space. Purchasing beautiful furnishings for clients led Ann to retail opportunities at Alexander Scott and The MarketPlace at Young’s. (See the retail page for specific directions and descriptions). These venues allow Sensible Space to provide excellent products at competitive prices for the savvy shopper.
The team at Sensible Space, led by Ann, studies the market and stays current with the latest in decorating trends. Let us know how we can help you!
