His firm, Timothy Corrigan, Inc., specializes in interior design and incorporates antiques into most of its projects. His clients include European and Middle Eastern royalty,[3] Hollywood celebrities[4] and corporate leaders.[5]

Early life[edit]

Corrigan grew up in the Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, but moved with his family when he was 12. As an established designer he subsequently re-bought and remodelled his childhood home.[6] [7]

Career[edit]

Prior to forming his design firm in 1998, Corrigan worked in advertising where he was president of international operations for Backer Speilvogel Bates Worldwide,[8] which later became Bates Worldwide,[9] then Saatchi & Saatchi's Bates Worldwide.[10]

With offices in Los Angeles and Paris his firm has completed projects in Europe, the Middle East and across the United States.

Restoration[edit]

In addition to restoring his childhood home, Corrigan has purchased and renovated several châteaux in France.[11]

In 2004, the French government sold him the Château du Grand-Lucé, located in Le Grand-Lucé within France's Loire Valley.[12] The château and its gardens are listed as French National Landmarks, which posed additional challenges during the renovation.[13] His 2013 book An Invitation to Chateau du Grand Luce [14] details Corrigan's acquisition of the 1764 manor and its subsequent restoration as his private home.[15] In 2017, Corrigan sold the Château du Grand Lucé [16]

In spring of 2018, he purchased the Chateau de la Chevallerie, and began the renovation process, overseeing it remotely during the Covid-19 travel ban.[17] [18]

Licensing[edit]

Corrigan designed an integrated line of fabrics, trims, furniture, and floor covering, introduced in 2014. He has designed two tabletop collections for a porcelain manufacturer, a collection of high-end bathroom fittings and accessories,[19] a wallcovering collection,[20][21] and a passementerie collection.

His projects include designs for luxury performance fabrics and rugs, and hide rugs for Kyle Bunting.

Corrigan has been featured in publications including The Times,[2] The Wall Street Journal,[22] Architectural Digest,[23] Elle Décor,[24] Point de Vue,[25] The New York Times,[26] InStyle,[27] Traditional Home,[28] and Town & Country.[29] He has also appeared on national and international television, including on HGTV’s Million Dollar Rooms, HGTV’s Top Ten, LXTV’s International Open House – Paris,[30] and Extra.[31] He was chosen to design the Architectural Digest green room at the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards.
