Red Triangle Interior Design
Red Triangle Interior Design believes there are three elements to every project: the designer, the client, and the space. In the center of these three parts is the relationship that is built and the story that brings the project to life.
Red Triangle Interior Design works with you to express your personal story by creating a space and design that is unique to you and your lifestyle. Believing in giving the client a space that is not only beautiful and relevant but also comfortable and livable. Building a relationship between us and you provides a design that you, your family, and friends will enjoy for years to come. A place where you will continue to add chapters to your story.
What is Red Triangle Interior Design? The lead designer, Anna, grew up about an hour outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in a little town called Chalfont. She grew up in an old stone farmhouse set far back from the road, with a long driveway leading up to the house. Not wanting the kids to be waiting for the bus out in the rain and bad weather, her dad built a large red triangle for the kids to sit in at the bottom of the driveway. Seeing that red triangle always meant coming home safe and sound. A home, and a place of meaning. Their designers want to help you build your own red triangle, that has meaning for you and your family – to help you build a home that’s unique to you.

Anna Palumbo, Principal, Red Triangle Interior Design
Anna grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Being one of six kids, she was always trying to find and create her own spaces, whether changing a closet into her own art studio or constantly rearranging the bedroom that she shared with her sisters. For her 12th birthday Anna got a drafting table, her own area away from her siblings that she could be creative and it ignited the artistic fire in her.
Anna started as a fine arts major in college but switched to Art History and received her BA in 1998. After college she started teaching pottery and selling pottery. She taught and sold her work for 14 years. During that time, she got married, had three kids and went through one dog and a couple cats.
She and her family moved to Nashville in 2015. Having only lived in the Philadelphia area her whole life, Anna was given an opportunity to reinvent herself. She sold her kiln and wheel and went back to school. She graduated with an Interior Design degree from O’More School of Design at Belmont University in 2019.
She currently lives in Franklin with her husband, 3 kids, two dogs and 1 fat cat.
Anna won the ASID Legacy Scholarship in 2016 and she also is the Save a Sample, Tennessee State winner for 2017.
