Dare Interiors - Anna-Ruth Principal Designer

"we build relationships, not just rooms."

About Me
Meet Anna-Ruth
I have a deep appreciation for creating curated spaces that reflect your personality and lifestyle. My design philosophy revolves around empathy – understanding how you experience your space and translating that vision into reality.

My interior design approach is deeply influenced by my Caribbean heritage, with a vibrant palette that echoes the rich colours of my homeland. The colour green in particular holds special significance, symbolizing the lush vegetation and the enduring vitality of the landscape I was fortunate to grow up in—a feeling I strive to bring into every space through the use of plants and natural elements.

Moreover, my father’s entrepreneurial spirit and his innovative craftsmanship with wood has inspired me to add a heartfelt and creative touch to all my work.

We specialize in incorporating historical art movements into contemporary design. Think Art Deco, Pop Art, Mid-Century Modern, or French Provincial – all reimagined for modern living. Are you bold enough to try it?

When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me in my home studio, fully immersed in creating mixed-media abstract art—or occasionally at a local boutique, having a blast modeling their latest styles! What really keeps me grounded is my faith, which is at the core of everything I do.
