"We don't just design beautiful interiors, we create happiness. Design and decor should always be a beautiful reflection of you. It all begins at home"

Our Story

Designs By Des Interiors was founded in 2019 by our owner Desireè when she saw a vision of helping busy professionals like herself by creating healthy spaces that would foster growth.

As a young child, she always had a vision to create beautiful spaces that allowed for security and growth. Experiencing life hurdles in being a Navy daughter and overcoming a traumatic house fire as a pre-teen, she knew she wanted to give back to families and communities. The vision became more clear when she became a new mom, working from home in corporate America where she knew there was a need for a service like hers. Through her professional experience over the years, she has mastered distorting perspectives, brightening spaces, beautifying realities, and optimizing space through different techniques she has implemented. While becoming a homeowner, she has expanded her expertise in DIY (Do-It-Yourself) and taught others healthy home habits that can be passed down for generations to come.

Soon enough, Designs By Des Interiors grew and the need for more hands on deck became prominant. By hiring her family in fields they all mastered in, she knew she had a vehicle that would create a one stop shop approach to design unlike any other.

It has become our passion to bring the same love and balance into your interior space.

We are experts in distorting perceptions, beautifying realities, and space optimization through a cutting edge approach. DBDI believes home is a place of inner peace and dwelling. Everything begins and ends at home.

Our Mission & Core Values

We aim to please our clients with a fun and interactive experience while teaching healthy home habits that can be passed down to future generations. We hope to have a ripple effect on mental and physical health to elevate our clients to their best selves. Home decor is more than pretty spaces, but are spaces that serve.

It is within our core values to...

1. Bring vibrancy and sprinkles of happiness to our counterparts, clients, and tradesmen

2. To strive in exceeding our clients’ expectations by meeting all needs

3. To exude passion in our work by making a difference guided by our highest selves

Client Love

We had just moved into our new home and we knew we wanted new furniture for the space, but we felt overwhelmed at the thought of putting a whole room together from top to bottom. We had seen some of Des’s work and was really impressed with her attention to detail and overall design process. After our initial consultation we felt completely comfortable handing over the process and felt such a feeling of relief.

Desiree is incredible. She helped me with my first project back in 2020 where I wanted to create a new space in my bedroom. My now husband and I wanted a more modern/contemporary look that was neutral. She did a great job, connecting my bathroom and my bedroom decor. She has also helped me learn how to decorate my own space and grow and add different styles of the court. For example, I also like, modern farmhouse and she has helped me add that into my living room/kitchen area. I highly recommend using her if you would prefer to have the best service at the most cost-effective price!

This was our phase 2 and just like in phase 1, Desiree made sure she captured all the details that we wanted and the team delivered. The family works really well together that you barely know they are there, even on long days. We loved that they have a family meeting and pray before the start of the day in the space they are working. They have a great work ethic and are very organized. She told me she stepped out of her comfort with some of the Caribbean designs and patterns for our project. She did an awesome job, we love our space! And since we did the install package, her sister's company, Sundaze, included a beautiful gift basket that had something for everyone in my family. I would high...

Desiree and the entire Designs by Des Interiors team were a pleasure to work with! After living thru a renovation with a toddler, we had no energy left for interior design. I shared my vision for our new home with Desiree, and she executed perfectly. I was so happy to hand this project off and trust that it would be done well. I also love a family business. There's a certain level of heart and dedication that DBDI provides that can't be found elsewhere.

I really must express the satisfaction we, I have when I hired Desiree'. Our home REALLY needed the love and care she brought to our spaces. We are empty nester to say the least and over the years we took pieces people gave us due to a home fire we experienced in which we lost major home furniture. Along the many years, other things took precedence over doing anything to our house. When the pandemic hit, it really focused me to look at our home and allow Desiree' when she was starting her business to use our house as her testing grounds. What a fabulous job she did!!!! I use to be embarrassed to have anyone over the house BUT now, our home is so very welcoming. We are not finished, but...
