A TOUCH OF SOMETHING SPECIAL The talent: GiGi Chapman owner of deGuise Interiors


Te back story: She may have started her design business in Natchez, Mis- sissippi, in 1979, but Gigi Chapman is a Lowcountry girl at heart. A Charleston native and second genera- tion Charleston designer, Chapman – who discov- ered her love for architec- ture and design at an early age – returned to the Holy City in 1996 to open a retail design shop in Charleston’s historic French Quarter dis- trict. Eleven years later, in 2007, the award-winning designer found a new home for her firm in the I’On neighborhood of Mount Pleasant. DeGuise Interiors remains there to this day, offering complete design services out of an expansive retail showroom and design center.


The signatures: Chapman, whose honors include the


Historic Natchez Foundation’s Restoration of the Year award, considers the constant of her style to be the way she blends beauty and design and timelessness and utility. … with a touch of something special. “I would describe my design signature to be a mix of classic and functional – with a splash of happy!” Chapman re- marked enthusiastically.


The end result: For Chapman, the most gratifying aspect of this project was overcoming the unique chal- lenges it posed – specifically, finding a way to work the homeowners’ many beloved French pieces of furniture and décor into the Charleston single style of their home. “My favorite part about creating this space was making the husband and wife happy,” explained Chap- man. “I was able to incorporate their existing pieces as well as new pieces in a challenging floor plan, and it was fun to unify the two styles.”
