How do you tailor your designs or services to meet the unique needs of luxury homeowners?
We dive head first into every client’s situation, nuances, needs, and day-to-day patterns. Once we’ve gotten to know them intimately, we’ll cater our designs to their personal lifestyle and preferred aesthetic. Ultimately, our designs should be beautiful but also functional, livable, and realistic. To achieve this, our team leverages our expansive design library to present and narrow the options, blends in some carefully curated suggestions, and works hard to keep the process manageable, fun and stress free.

How do you ensure your designs or products are both functional and aesthetically pleasing?
We always design products that are made to last. The home market is flooded with cheap, borderline disposable furniture these days, and we hope to change this one project at a time. At CFD, we design/commission custom, sustainable, and one-of-a-kind upholstery, cabinetry, case goods, etc., which are fashioned and warrantied by our trusted local vendors.

What’s one of the most memorable projects you’ve worked on, and what made it stand out for you and your client?
One of my most memorable design projects was creating a second home for a Chicago client in Vermont. The challenge was to maintain their signature style while embracing the home’s natural surroundings. I focused on blending the outdoors with the interiors, incorporating organic textures and earthy tones while ensuring a level of sophistication and comfort that reflected the client’s tastes. The result was a seamless harmony between elegance and rustic charm, a space that felt both refined and deeply connected to its environment. I am always thrilled when a client’s trust in us carries over to a new home away from home.
