Charmean’s design journey began long before she launched Charmean Neithart Interiors in January 2002. Charmean carefully selected color swatches for her window treatments when most teenage girls wallpapered their bedrooms with popular heartthrobs. Her neon telephone and deep blue walls needed to coordinate after all. During a successful career in marketing after college, she pursued her passion by decorating her own spaces in her spare time. While living overseas with her husband in 1997, she found inspiration exploring Asia, from Tokyo and Singapore to Thailand and Korea. She fine-tuned her love of exotic accessories as she collected treasures and learned about antiques and textiles shopping the marketplaces.
