Our ChiDesign Approach
TM
Our approach takes a holistic view of your space and its context. We methodically address functional issues, flow and visual harmony, and individual expression. The goal is not on-trend perfection. The goal is for you to enter your room and feel something, recognizing yourself in every nook and detail.
​
Cure
We begin with a functional diagnostic to reveal the issues that need addressing in your space. How are your rooms serving you or not? Does your interior environment support your ideal rhythm and routine?
We make sure your home is working for you by first understanding practically how you live in the space and how you'd like to live differently.
Here we identify issues and design a functional cure.
Harmonize
It's all about sightlines and flow.
Our design plan incorporates key aspects of adjacent spaces -- color, light, material, scale, balance, focal points. Are the rooms referencing each other? Are they telling a cohesive story?
We integrate your spaces for flow and visual harmony.
Inspire
Personality and self-expression take center stage as we style the space to refresh and replenish.
Blending heirlooms, vintage finds, made objects, new pieces, or found treasures, we craft your one-of-a-kind space. We believe your home should inspire the ideal version of you.
We're not done until it feels good.
How It Works
We specialize in transformative, no-demolition interior design. Our designs elevate your space, creating warm, functional, and feel-good environments that blend style, personality, and practicality. We focus on delivering stunning design concepts, allowing clients to manage purchasing and installation independently.
