From Pondering Thoughts to Candlelit Moments

Interiors By Simone is a celebration of the intersection of hospitality and home. Inspired by my great-grandmother Simone, whose roots trace back to the picturesque island of Trinidad and Tobago, Interiors By Simone embodies the warmth and elegance she cultivated despite modest means. Simone’s home always left guests feeling pampered, akin to a luxury hotel experience. Witnessing her ability to create lavish feasts and a beautiful home with minimal resources left an indelible mark on me.

LEGACY OF PRIDE

This legacy of pride and hospitality, passed down from my great-grandmother to my mother and then to me, forms the foundation of Interiors By Simone. Our work is a homage to our ancestry, blending the richness of West Indian and West African cultures in an elevated presentation.


The inception of our candle collection stemmed from our tradition of gifting them to clients upon project completion. Over time, demand surged as clients, their families, and friends sought more of these coveted candles. Our journey begins with candles, with plans to expand into various aspects of home decor in the near future. We have so much in store, and we cannot wait to share it with you!"
