About Tamika D. Thomas

Tamika D. Thomas is the founder of T2 Design & Style, a DC Metro Area-based business with completed projects sprinkled throughout the Midwest and East Coast, focusing on exemplary service. As a retired military veteran, inspired by her world travels, not only all over the United States but also to Paris, Germany, Italy, Korea, and the Caribbean, Tamika blends her love of elegance with an international/unique flair creating impressive and remarkable moments in design and style.  Her focus as an autodidact interior decorator is serving her clients, working on projects of all sizes, ranging from design services to simply helping clients choose the perfect paint color for a particular room in their home. With an eye for quality, an exceptional intellect of style, and a client-centered tactic to business, Tamika has demonstrated herself as an innovative decorator.  She presents an equilibrium of imagination, collaboration, and forward-thinking with a coordinated, systematized, and meticulous mentality, enabling her to provide concentrated development, follow-through, and overall completion to each facet of her designs. Skilled at creating beautiful designs under various budgets, styles, timeframes, and requirements, Tamika guides her clients through every phase of the decorating process. Appreciating the richness of parallels between interior decorating and fashion styling, she has added this aspect to the business. Tamika possesses great intuition and a sharp eye to help real people attain their style aspirations.

In her spare time, you will find Tamika spending time with her husband Cecil, reading, and hosting gatherings for her family and friends.

Interior decorating is not just a business for Tamika; it is a passion. She loves meeting interesting and diverse people and enjoys the array of encounters the decorating business provides. She works to inform her clients about all that interior decorating involves. This begins with a comprehensive understanding of her client’s needs and expectations. Tamika’s ability to develop client relationships based on respect, trust, and confidence has been her key to success as a decorator.  She remains committed to cultivating valued relationships and helping clients reach the best version of their overall vision.  Whether traditional or modern, Tamika balances lighting, texture, and color to create a space that suits their decorating needs and reflects her clients’ personalities. Most of Tamika’s clients tell her that she is more than a decorator but a trusted advisor with the hint of being a close friend.

Besides being a native of Detroit, which known as the world’s musical fashion capital, Tamika often says that her love of fashion comes from a generation of fashionistas in her family, as both her mother and grandmother were fashion-savvy New Yorkers. Tamika has always loved shopping sprees and spent countless hours organizing her mother’s closet, where she developed her passion for personal styling. Tamika loves to show her clients all the techniques and guidelines; the importance of statement jewelry, the value of a belt, layering, print mixing, and color pairings.  Tamika also knows that it is essential that her clients know what is best for their body type and how as the stylist, she can help them overcome challenges and highlight assets, whatever they may be. As a woman, she thinks that insight into fashion and determining personal style is an instrumental part of feeling accomplished and being the best you can be.
