About the Studio

Ward Design Studios is a full-service turn-key interior design firm offering comprehensive solutions for private residents and boutique commercial spaces. We specialize in ground-up builds, full-scale renovations, furnishing, and decor services. Our skilled and well-organized team collaborates closely with architects and developers from the early conceptual phases through construction, overseeing every aspect of the design process, from selecting architectural details and finishes to choosing furnishings, fabrics, accessories, and custom details tailored to our client’s unique living spaces.

 Our design style is inspired by silhouettes derived from Italy's spiritual architecture, the elegant aesthetic of the Cotswolds, and European motifs. Our interiors convey a distinct awareness of color, pattern, and texture layered with rich finishes that age beautifully over time. Our design approach merges traditional and contemporary elements while practicing restraint to create a comfortable and charming ambiance. We integrate vintage aesthetics with modern touches, use classic architectural features alongside sleek, minimalist design, and incorporate antique accents to create an unpretentious yet sophisticated setting. This blend of old and new cultivates a distinct sense of allure and elegance, making our interiors feel both timeless and exclusive.

At the heart of Ward Design Studios' philosophy is the belief in the power of emotional design. We strive to create spaces that evoke emotional responses, placing a strong emphasis on sensory experiences, comfort, and personal connections to the environment. Our spaces are designed to have negative space for our clients to grow into. In every project, we follow a 50/30/20 initiative, which means we use 50% vintage mixed with 30% new and 20% pre-owned, adding a unique and personal touch to each space.

We welcome all full-service project inquiries, both local and long-distance.
