Timothy Corrigan (interior designer)

Timothy Corrigan is an interior designer with offices in Los Angeles and Paris. His firm, Timothy Corrigan, Inc., specializes in comfortably-elegant interior design and incorporates antiques into most of its projects. His clients include European and Middle Eastern royalty,[1] Hollywood celebrities[2] and corporate leaders.[3]

Early life

Corrigan grew up in the Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, but moved with his family when he was 12. Decades later, for almost ten years he lived a mere five blocks from his childhood home. When he learned the property was on the market, he rushed over to see it, saying it "was love at second sight."[4] He says he "sent the owner a photo of me in the swimming pool when I was a little boy, with a note that said, 'Let me come home.'"[5]

Career

Prior to forming his design firm in 1998, Corrigan worked in advertising where he was president of international operations for Backer Speilvogel Bates Worldwide,[6] which later became Bates Worldwide,[7] then Saatchi & Saatchi's Bates Worldwide.[8]

Timothy Corrigan is one of the world’s leading interior designers.With offices in Los Angeles and Paris his firm has completed projects in Europe, the Middle East and across the United States.

Corrigan has two best-selling books, published by Rizzoli: “An Invitation to Chateau du Grand-Lucé,” that chronicles the restoration of his landmark chateau in France, and his second book, “The New Elegance: Stylish, Comfortable Rooms for Today” that features 11 of Timothy’s projects around the world, and highlights the building blocks for successful decoration.

Restoration

In addition to restoring his childhood home, Corrigan has purchased and renovated several châteaux in France. He reportedly fell in love with the country the first time he traveled there in the 1980s.[9]

In 2004, the French government sold him the Château du Grand-Lucé, located in Le Grand-Lucé within France's Loire Valley.[10] The château and its gardens are listed as French National Landmarks, which posed additional challenges during the renovation.[11] His 2013 book, "An Invitation to Château du Grand-Lucé", details Corrigan's against-all-odds acquisition of the 1764 manor that was in dire need of repair. His subsequent painstaking restoration and decoration brought it back to life as his private home.[12] In 2016, Corrigan put the Château du Grand-Lucé back on the market.[13]

In spring of 2018, he purchased the Chateau de la Chevallerie, and began the renovation process.[14] During the Covid-19 related travel ban, Timothy has had to oversee the restoration from Los Angeles [15]

He has designed two tabletop collections for porcelain manufacturer Royal Limoges, a collection of high-end bathroom fittings and accessories for THG Paris,[16] a wallcovering collection for London-based Fromental,[17][18] and a passementerie collection for Samuel & Sons.
