about
Thoughtful Design for Enduring Spaces.
ER Home Design offers full-service interior design rooted in architectural clarity, thoughtful space planning and careful listening. We work closely with our clients to understand how they live, what they value and how their spaces need to function - then translate that insight into interiors that feel timeless, balanced and quietly refined. Every project is guided by intention, with an emphasis on proportion, flow and enduring materials that elevate daily living.
We serve homeowners and builders on projects of all sizes, from focused room updated to full-scale renovations and new construction. Whether collaborating from the earliest planning stages or refining spaces as they take shape, we provide comprehensive design support from concept through completion. Our approach is calm, collaborative and detail-driven, resulting in spaces that feel personal, well-resolved and designed to last.
Timeless interiors, carefully considered
Hi, I'm Emily Robbins.
A native of Franklin, Tennessee, I grew up surrounded by a strong sense of place, community and family - values that continue to shape both my life and work. With deep roots and many relatives in the Nashville area, I come from a tight-knit and wonderfully eclectic family - an even mix of creatives and accountants.
That balance of artistry and logic has influenced my approach to design: intuitive yet disciplined, expressive yet highly considered. It's this blend that allows me to create spaces that are not only beautiful, but thoughtfully planned, functional and enduring.
My Story
I graduated from Franklin High School before heading to Auburn University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Interior Environments. Those early years in Middle Tennessee, paired with a formal design education, laid the foundation for a career grounded in both creativity and practicality.
Design Excellence, Cultivated Over Time
I started my career in Atlanta, where I spent sixteen formative years with a respected kitchen and bath design firm, starting as an assistant and growing into a leadership role that eventually led to part ownership. That experience built a deep foundation in space planning, construction and collaboration.
Afterward, I spent two years at a design/build firm, where I developed and led the interior design department - establishing processes, guiding projects from concept through construction and collaborating closely with architects and builders to ensure cohesive, well-executed results.
In 2018, I returned home to Nashville with the intention of being closer to family. The phone began to ring with friends, referrals and new connections asking me to design spaces for their homes. That is when ER Home Design was born.
Kind Words From Happy Clients
"Emily truly has a gift. Not only did she design our spaces to be beautiful, but also to be more functional than I knew possible. She finds ways to add usable space without adding any square footage. The two projects we have used her for, our upstairs and kitchen remodels, look magazine ready. I am already looking forward to my next opportunity to work with Emily."
- Elise Crouch
"Over the 13 years we have been in our home, we have renovated almost every room and added several spaces as well. Emily has been our designer for every one of those projects. Tackling a renovation of any size can be stressful. Emily helped my husband and I with every decision, guiding us by sharing her expertise and giving options. Without her, I would have been completely overwhelmed. She was available when I need her and provided me with invaluable support. She had an answer for everything and a solution for every problem. Renovations are never without challenges, but Emily made sure our end result was exactly what we hoped for and more. We absolutely love our home, and are so thankful to have had Emily on our team as we turned it into our dream space."
- Jenn Bauer
"Remodeling our house was a huge job. From day one you took it one step at a time and so patiently walked alongside us as we figure it out together. You gave me wisdom and clear advice when it mattered and welcomed my ideas long the way...always listening, committed to helping us make this house ours.
And you did. We love our home."
