Design Philosophy
Our philosophy is to embrace the client’s style providing a total design solution to your design and decorating needs,. We look at the space and client as a whole and use elements that address the physical, emotional, and aesthetic influences of each specific project.
We incorporate both eco-friendly and universal or what we refer to as “convenient” design elements whenever feasible and cost effective.
We are always very respectful of our client’s budget and offer innovative ideas and options to complete the project on schedule and within budget.

We recommend that in order to achieve the best value-added results in any project, you should hire a design professional before the project is begun.
That person will formulate a concept and a design that incorporates your style, requirements, and the most efficient use of space for your business or home.
With that plan in place, you will spend less time and money on changes and will know exactly what you will be getting from the project’s start through completion.
