design is a feeling.

How do you feel in your space? At Design Nest, we believe design is a feeling, and we are here to create the best and most authentic version of your home and business with you.

No project—or budget—is too small or too big for us. Whether you need a little zhuzhing or a major makeover, we are here for you.

We are a customer-first design firm, meaning we listen to you, we work with your budget, and our design is ultimately about you and your lifestyle.

We think of ourselves as "design therapists" helping you to create a home you are happy to return to everyday, or a business space you are proud to share with clients and co-workers alike.

Welcome to Design Nest. We are so glad you are here. Hang out for a while.

Design Nest Studio is a shop too! Come in and explore our delightful pre-loved antiques and furniture. Our small and intimate marketplace is a natural extension of our commitment to sustainability. An environmentally friendly approach to home decor starts with choosing timeless over trends, buying wisely, and upcycling when possible. Every piece here was personally selected by us with you in mind, to infuse your home with personality and to bring lasting joy. Whether you're shopping for yourself, for a dear friend, or for the most sophisticated tastemaker, you'll find something here that you won't find anywhere else. We also carry greeting cards, global textiles, and offer studio services such as lamp rewiring.

Our shop is currently open Tuesday-Saturday, from 10am-5pm.

kind words

“We loved working with Deanna and Julie! We gave them an idea of the style we wanted and they gave us an idea of cost. They worked hard in sourcing the items and combined old and new items to create the perfect space for our rental. They couldn't have been easier to work with. We look forward to using them for other projects."

"Julie and Deanna redesigned my home office and it is now our favorite room in our house. Prior to working with Design Nest, my office had been a drab space that was completely uninspiring. We completely stayed within my budget and they proposed pieces that were eclectic, fun and most importantly (amazingly) all worked together. I never could have created the space that Design Nest did and I adore it."

— Rachel Collins Clarke —

"I had a little outdoor area that I never used and couldn't figure out how to decorate. Design Nest helped me to create a simple, peaceful space that we use all the time now. They had great suggestions for furniture and recommended design elements that pulled everything together. They were super fun to work with, listened well, gave lots of options and always replied to questions quickly. I look forward to working with Design Nest on my next project!"

“Julie and Deanna were able to look at my loft-like living space and carve out defined areas within this huge room that allowed it to still feel open. We also added a bar to a previously unused and awkward space, making the entire kitchen area feel both much larger and well-defined. We also chose furniture pieces that both worked for the needs of my young family and the stylish look I wanted."
