Interior Designers We Love & Artemis
At Artemis, interior design is all around us - carpets are such an important element in any space, so it makes sense that people who love interiors, love wearing Artemis (especially our signature Kilim Shoes)! Our founder, Milicent, was studying interior design when she created Artemis and has since been recognized for her interiors, see her Improper Bostonian feature above and click here to see her feature in apartment therapy. Before joining Artemis, our team members were interior designers, furniture designers, merchandisers, and set designers. We have so many wonderful customers in the interior design world, and we love to see how their favorite Artemis products relate to their designs, and how they pair their own carpets and textiles with our Sumak and Kilim Shoes!

“Simply put--the quality is fantastic and the whole vibe spells FUN. The slides are great for AT HOME every day with jeans or my staple of cropped pants and white shirts-- my go-to at night after work and in summer with all of my caftans.”

“If black isn’t the color and leather loafers are not the style you are looking for, check out the Kilim Smoking Shoes by Artemis which shifts the trend from ‘BoBo’ to ‘Boho’. The casual but clean design is made from vintage Turkish carpets with additional soft linings and leather insoles for comfort. With a pair handy in your closet, they can be worn on the daily and to informal, laid-back events.”

“Eddie consistently re-imagines the aesthetic possibilities in secondhand finds, imbuing them with a chic and colorful sophistication within everyone’s reach. His sold-out tours of flea markets across the country have empowered legions of devoted followers to find the best things they can and, at the same time, to give new life to what they may already own.”

“I admire Milicent's creativity and intrepid business know-how. Her unique shoes are so highly appealing, it's very easy to buy several pairs at a time. That said, I adore her exotic duffle bags most of all! Getting away for the weekend is so much more fun traveling with an exuberant bag in hand. Shopping her products has me feeling both sophisticated and bohemian. Her rugs look great with both formal furniture and flea-market finds!”

1. Why do you love Artemis?
I’m a big fan of Artemis Design for many reasons, (not the least of which is their adorable office dog Gerry)! but seriously I love all things that take us a bit further afield, that invoke the wonderful things that other cultures offer us. I guess I'm a wanderlust at heart. And anything that involves up-cycling has to be a good thing for everyone, right? That’s the principal behind our collection of vintage fabric pillows at Choixhome.

2. Your favorite Artemis product:
We propose Artemis rugs whenever we can. I’m in love with the Boucherouites and the Azizals. Where else can you get all that crazy color in one place? You can't make that stuff up! My favorite one? That pale blue and pink Moroccan Wedding Blanket is the bomb. On the shoe side of things, my favorite thing is when I’m at a party or event and I spy Artemis clad feet. I know the person inside that shoe is going to be interesting.

3. Your favorite design tip:
We always start a room with the rug and build up from there. I’m a flat-weave Kilim girl.

A gorgeous antique Kilim rug can make a room. These shoes and bags truly make an outfit! I love them for their versatility and unique flair they add to even the simplest of looks. Just like a beautiful Kilim carpet, these shoes are instant classics and will never go out of style.

The furry babouche! Just look at them. I love a touch of anything unexpected and wild... Dr. Seuss chic!

3. Your favorite design tip:
When space planning for a rug, I always suggest going larger when you can. You will want to see some flooring underneath of course, but a larger carpet makes the furniture seem more grounded and the room more spacious.

I absolutely adore my Artemis shoes (as well as my husband's — every guy should own a pair). They're comfortable, classic, and instantly add global flair to an outfit.

3. Your favorite design tip:
Collect things you truly love over time, and forget the idea of compromising your taste to fill a space all at once. Besides, it's always about the high and low mix. I am a big believer in layering antiques with contemporary pieces, and adding pops of color to a neutral base for a fresh and contemporary look that still has depth and a sense of history.

Kilim rugs bring bold pattern, one-of-a-kind design, and history to both my spaces and my wardrobe. My Artemis shoes are unique to me and hint of a land far away…Shoes with a Story. I love that.

2. Your favorite Artemis product:
The McNeil Velvet Smoking Shoe. The cut is classic, the pattern is brave...animal print, after all, is a neutral (according to Jenna Lyons). Last but not least, velvet and silk will always evoke sophistication for me.

Add something old! Include a vintage piece to your space to give a sense of the past and personality to any space. A one-of-a-kind find will make it unique.
