Design Philosophy

Your home should be a sanctuary that reflects your personality.

Every design starts with you. We take the time to understand your personal style as well as your lifestyle beginning with a consultation to assess your needs and the scope of the project.

If you think we’re a good fit, we’ll move forward with a design board and list of proposed changes such as paint colors, furnishings, lighting, accessories, and fine art. We’ll work together to determine what you can DIY and where you’d like to bring in our expertise.

Our goal is to create a beautiful, functional
space that feels like home.

What Makes an
Artful Home?

A home is more than just a house - it’s your happy place.

An Artful Home reflects your personal taste and supports your lifestyle. It’s tasteful, clever, creative, and full of what’s meaningful and inspiring to you. It incorporates the colors, textures, furnishings, art and decor that tells your story.

Putting the Art in Artful

Nothing personalizes a home like original artwork.

With 25 years of experience as a fine art gallery director, working with the region’s most talented artists, Rachel has the unique expertise to recommend, source, and install original art pieces for your home or help you curate an entire collection.

The right artwork can be the centerpiece of a room and the launching point that informs the rest of the design. This service can be part of a redesign project or stand on its own.
