We are a residential and commercial interior design firm based in the Washington, D.C. area. Whether it’s a single room or a large remodeling project, our desire is to create functional living spaces with comfort and style while capturing our client’s vision and individuality.
Barbara Meyer (Principal Designer and Founder) has more than 25 years experience designing residential and commercial interiors. With a strong ongoing appreciation of the fine arts, she cherishes the beauty of a wide array of styles throughout art history. Having lived in Europe, this designer respects the beauty of a wide range of building and decorating periods.
Her design process is pragmatic so that the rooms function well, as well as display creative elements. Fresh ideas that place functionality and purpose first - can also display a stylish flair.
Barbara has a sense of fun in carrying out the design process that helped stimulate our imagination. We love the way the room came out. Barbara supervised the installs and made sure that the lighting and cabinetry came out the way we wanted. She was good about keeping in touch and sharing ideas about the project.

Beyond her extensive expertise in design, Barbara brought her friend...

Barbara's input helped us make quick and decisive decisions and gave us the confidence to have our contractors implement our decisions. B...
