When Carol Mitchell retired from her job as an interior designer, she found she couldn’t just walk away from the work she loved. Interior design and decorating are passions that continued to inspire her even after retirement, and rather than slowing down, she chose to channel that passion into something new. This was how Interior Motives was born.
Rooted in her lifelong love of interior design and personal connection, the shop quickly became a reflection of Mitchell’s artistry. Every day it brings new customers to the door, each with ideas of their own, and with an extensive collection of furniture, gifts and accessories, customers are sure to find something that will make their home truly special to them.
As an interior designer, Mitchell worked with customers throughout South Carolina, so when Interior Motives became established, Mitchell already knew exactly what the Lowcountry was clamoring for. She’s always on the hunt for the next thing that will get her customers excited and inspired, keeping a close eye on emerging styles and unique pieces that spark joy in her clients and reflect each of their unique personalities.
Interior Motives is perfectly curated in a way to be comfortable to each shopper while still highlighting the creative skill and expertise behind interior design. The showroom offers a variety of styles, textures and aesthetics, allowing customers to explore different looks without feeling overwhelmed. At the same time, Mitchell is committed to maintaining affordability. The goal is always superior quality at a good price, guaranteeing that designs are always feasible for everyone no matter what their budget.
Mitchell’s passion extends to every single person who walks through her door, ensuring that all clients regardless of their distinctive style will find something within the walls of Interior Motives. Furthermore, she works collaboratively with her customers, finding the perfect pieces for their homes, going so far as to actively encourage customers to bring in photos and ideas so she can better understand the vision and tailor each selection to their lifestyle. If Interior Motives doesn’t have an item someone is looking for in store, Mitchell will make every effort to source it, allowing for the option of exploring possibilities outside the showroom.
This collaborative style and infectious enthusiasm have charmed her patrons. Repeat customers are common, some even coming to Mount Pleasant every year specifically to shop at Interior Motives. It’s also not unheard of for clients to bring friends into the store to share Mitchell’s passion and artistry. This loyalty is a testament to the welcoming atmosphere and warmth Mitchell prides herself on.
At Interior Motives, every piece is chosen with care, and every home is treated as a unique canvas. The combination of Mitchell’s cordiality, attention and passion ensures each space she helps design feels both beautiful and truly lived in and full of character. Homes become a reflection of their owners and a place where friends and family naturally gather to create new memories.
