Anne Rainey Rokahr
Anne founded Trouvaille Home in 2014. From a young age Anne had an affinity
for all things beautiful and precious which guided her career path through the beauty,
fashion, and film industries and into interior design. Anne is a maximalist at heart who
loves to create colorful interiors with a foundation of classical forms layered with
Continental and Asian antiques as well as mid-century and postmodern silhouettes.
“Every room needs balance and tension. Balance of color, scale, texture and space
and the tension between old and new, curves and corners, fine and accessible.”
Anne is a frequent guest speaker on the subject of interior design as well as
entrepreneurship and building meaningful local philanthropy into small business models.
Anne’s interior design projects and expertise have been featured in a variety of media
outlets over the years, most recently HGTV, the Wall Street Journal, Designer’s Today
and Convo by Design. In addition to multiple Historic home design and renovation projects favorite commercial projects of late have included cocktail lounge; Eastern Standard and luxury café; The Powder Room. For both projects Anne custom designed and built all of the interior furniture as well as designing the spaces themselves.
“Growing up and spending early years in NYC working in restaurants and bars
cemented my lifelong passion for excellent service throughout all the industries in which
I have worked. I absolutely love the challenge of creating a memorable hospitality experience that is a comfortable, inviting and pleasurable environment for customers as well as the staff. The result is seamless execution and delighted guests who return
time and time again”
Anne’s career began in NYC as a film and commercial producer in North America,
