Custom window treatments, upholstery, and soft furnishings are often the finishing touches that bring a space to life. But getting from inspiration to installation isn’t always straightforward. That’s where having a trusted workroom partner—who also serves as your fractional interior designer—can make all the difference.

At Serendipity Designs, we believe every homeowner and designer deserves that go-to expert who can bring both vision and precision to the process. With decades of industry knowledge, Sandra isn’t just a fabrication specialist—she’s the design support system you didn’t know you needed.

What Is a Fractional Interior Designer?

Think of a fractional interior designer like a part-time partner—someone you can call in when you need them. Maybe you’re not looking for a full-scale design overhaul, but you do need help choosing the right drapery fabric, estimating yardage, or figuring out how to coordinate your window treatments with your wallpaper and flooring. A fractional designer helps fill in the gaps, giving you access to professional guidance without committing to a large-scale project or budget.

For seasoned interior designers, Serendipity becomes an extension of your team. For homeowners who love to decorate but need a second opinion, we’re your custom solution and sounding board.

Why the Workroom Relationship Matters

Custom drapery and upholstery are not one-size-fits-all. Every window and piece of furniture has its own personality—and quirks. Having a direct relationship with a skilled workroom like Serendipity Designs means you can streamline the process and get results that are tailored, functional, and beautiful.

Here’s what working with an experienced workroom specialist offers:

  • Accurate Estimations – Properly estimating drapery, fabric yardage, and hardware isn’t guesswork. Sandra teaches this to college students and seasoned professionals alike, bringing over 30 years of expertise into every consultation.
  • Informed Fabric Selection – Not all fabrics are created equal. We guide you on which ones need backing, how they’ll perform in different rooms, and what combinations will layer well together.
  • Design Execution – From pleat styles to trims, Sandra helps translate your ideas into reality—down to every last detail.

A Resource for Designers and DIYers Alike

Sandra is proud to be an educator and advocate for the future of interior design. She speaks regularly at El Centro and Collin College and serves on the Board of Council for Interior Design at Collin College. Her mission? To equip the next generation of designers with the tools and knowledge to confidently estimate, fabricate, and finish beautiful projects.

But it’s not just students who benefit. Whether you’re a designer working solo or a homeowner taking on your own design journey, Serendipity offers personalized, professional support to help you avoid costly mistakes and maximize your investment.

Trends You’ll Want Help With

The design landscape is shifting in 2025. Gone are the days of all-white, gray-on-gray palettes. We’re seeing a strong return to rich color, bold pattern, and personality in home decor. Think moody greens, deep blues, berry purples, and vibrant earth tones. Florals are coming back in full force, and we’re layering them with checks, geometrics, and textures in a way that feels fresh and intentional.

With so many colors, patterns, and finishes on the market, having a seasoned eye helps tie everything together. Sandra brings that clarity—and the confidence that comes with it.

Coordination Beyond Fabric

Great design is all about cohesion. Paint, wallpaper, drapery, flooring, and furnishings all need to work together harmoniously. Sandra can help coordinate every element, from the tone of your wood floors to the undertones in your paint and the light filtering through your drapery panels. It’s this level of detail that separates DIY attempts from custom-caliber spaces.

Final Thoughts

Interior design isn’t just about decorating—it’s about crafting a home that reflects your personality, style, and how you live every day. Whether you’re a designer needing a reliable fabrication partner or a homeowner needing help finishing a project, Serendipity Designs offers the kind of expert support that makes your vision a reality.

Let Sandra be your fractional interior designer and workroom specialist—on call when you need her, ready to guide every step of the way.
