Talie Jane Interiors, based in South Lake Tahoe, serves clients throughout the region, including Reno, Carson City, Minden, Gardnerville, Glenbrook and beyond. It’s owned and operated by Natalie Malik, who is licensed to work in Nevada and California.

“Interior Design is my second career; I have a master’s degree in advertising from Boston University and an undergraduate degree from DePauw University,” she said. “I worked in advertising for seven years before returning to school for another undergraduate degree, this time in Interior Design from Harrington College of Design, Chicago. My third degree was the charm; I opened Talie Jane Interiors in Chicago thereafter.

“Talie is Natalie without the ‘Na’ and Jane is my middle name,” she added. “So, Talie Jane is me!”

According to Malik, she’s also a recent transplant to Tahoe.

“Every ‘good story’ starts with … ‘I followed a boy,’” she said. “And mine isn’t any different. My fiance has been living in South Lake Tahoe and ‘imported’ me from Chicago. Being in Lake Tahoe has been such an amazing experience and I am absolutely at home here.”

Talie Jane Interiors is “a full-service, luxury interior design firm, specializing in creating comfortable, welcoming and sophisticated environments,” according to Malik.

Services offered include consulting, project management, home staging, sourcing, color and material selection, space planning, art selection, furniture buying, and custom furniture and millwork. Malik’s portfolio includes homes and condos, model homes, assisted living facilities, sales centers, clubhouses, professional office spaces, storefronts, showrooms and more.

“At Talie Jane, we believe that each space should tell a story in an artistic and beautiful way while reflecting the personalities and design needs of our clients,” Malik said. “We listen and understand our clients and deliver within budget to provide beautiful, comfortable spaces. By utilizing an analytical and artistic approach, we offer creative solutions to design challenges.”
