We had the good fortune of connecting with Precious Mathews and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Precious, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
More than anything I was terrified, if I am completely honest. I had no clue about the industry nor it’s operations. However, I refused to allow fear to have a hold on me. I dived into this head first while allowing myself room for growth and errors as I learned from my mistakes along the way.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I am founder and creator of Inspired Living Interior. My goal is to execute the perfect design to captivate my clients hearts and home. The services I provided leaves you a luxurious, yet cultivating design experience. I work diligently to style spaces that mirror my clients’ taste, style. and budget. I can stay that I am most proud of how far I’ve come in such a short period time. This journey has been far from easy. however, I am most confident in my perseverance and resilience that has allow me to get where I am today. It’s always all about faith over fear for me. We have to put in the work to see the results. Overcoming challenges is apart of every day life. As with any challenge, the first step is to recognize that there is an issue, that something is wrong and figuring out how to resolve it and move forward. I’ve learned several lessons along the way. The biggest lesson that sticks with me the most is recognizing that running a successful interior design company is knowing that it is 80% business and only 20% design. My brand is built on a foundation of trust. It is my desire to service each client at the highest regard of excellence, trust and professionalism. Trust being the #1 factor.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I am native of Atlanta. As we all know, the world has basically migrated here. I am not big on the nightlife side of things but I would highly recommend things to do to chill and relax. One of my favorite places to visit here is Chateau Elan. It is a winery north of Atlanta. I recommend booking one of their luxury style rooms, wining tasting with friends, dinner in the grand atrium with your favorite bottle of wine and checking out their amazing spa. Oh my God it is the ultimate experience.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would dedicate all recognition to my clients and supporters. I receive lots of love and support from you guys. In the industry that I am in, it Is all about trusting the process. I am forever grateful for those who saw something unique in the way I style homes to give me the control and opportunity to design theirs as well. Nothing would be possible without you guys.
