It all began with a passion for creaTING
I’m Shennea McGarvey, founder of Iris + Viola Home, where our goal is to transform your space and elevate your style. As a former research scientist turned home stager, styler, and décor maker, my journey into the world of design has been a natural evolution, blending my analytical mindset with my passion for creativity and aesthetics. My work is driven by the belief that design has the power to transform lives, creating environments that not only look beautiful but also nurture and inspire.
At the heart of my work is the desire to make homes more than just places to live. I aim to transform them into sanctuaries—spaces that reflect your unique personality, tell your story, and provide a sense of belonging. My design philosophy merges the logic of scientific thinking with the creativity of artistic expression, ensuring that every project is not only aesthetically pleasing but also impactful.
Whether I’m staging a home to sell, styling a space for daily living, or handcrafting décor pieces, my goal is to help my clients feel deeply connected to their environment. I believe that a thoughtfully designed space can inspire creativity, foster relaxation, and create a sense of peace. By transforming your home into a sanctuary, I strive to make your surroundings a source of joy—because when your space feels good, so do you.
About The business
What’s in a name?
"Iris" and "Viola" are flowers associated with my birth month, February. They symbolize different qualities and meanings. The iris, with its elegant and striking blooms, is often associated with hope, wisdom, and courage. Its rich colors can evoke a sense of creativity and inspiration. On the other hand, viola, a smaller, delicate flower, represents love, devotion, and loyalty, reflecting a gentler aspect of nature's beauty. The magenta hue displayed here also ties in beautifully as a color of the iris bloom as well as the month of February.
The combination of these names and colors not only reflects my personal identity but also evokes a sense of connection to nature and the deeper meanings behind the flowers and colors associated with my birth. Together, they create a rich tapestry of symbolism that speaks to my character and the influences that have shaped me.
