Interior Design is the art of transforming your house into a home - into a place you love and look forward to being in; a place that is a true reflection of you, and your dreams and desires. Your home should represent your past and present, as well as your visions for the future. Design Solutions is committed to helping you bring those visions to life in a comprehensive and affordable way.Working as an interior designer, I realized something was missing: inspired home decorating that is affordable for everyone.Most designers make money from the purchases of custom window treatments, furniture, and accessories. There's nothing wrong with that, it just gets expensive. My idea is simple: I give interior decorating advice and do personal shopping at a low hourly rate or single project fee.Design Solutions: The Affordable Alternative to Home DecoratingEveryone deserves to live in a space they love; in a space they feel comfortable in and are proud of. That's what Design Solutions is all about - providing superb, attentive interior decorating services without the costly price tag.

About Me

About Me:

I'm a creative soul. I sing, write songs, write books, and design spaces. I love capturing an idea and turning it into a thing of beauty.I became interested in interior decorating when I bought my first home. It was very small and I was very young, but I received an enormous amount of pleasure from creating spaces that were true reflections of my soul. As I got older, my tastes changed and so did my understanding of interior design. I worked side by side with designers at architectural and engineering firms, and when I got the chance to work as a designer with someone whose work I greatly admired, I jumped at it. Since then, I've designed many spaces for many people. I enjoy creating a place that people call "home." My greatest reward is seeing a smile on someone's face as they admire their final project. My goal is to help you create spaces you love and want to spend time in, and to make you feel you've gotten a "design bargain."

Testimonials:

My beautiful home was transformed into my absolutely gorgeous home by Debra's sense of color, furniture arrangements, and accessory selections. I never thought my husband would accept going from pale blue and white to deep red and mustard. It was astonishing to feel the comforting atmosphere accomplished by this change in color. Everyone who comes into my home compliments me on the beauty and atmosphere. Also, Debra's upbeat attitude was a pleasure to work with.

Judy L., Centennial, CO

I worked with Debra on my living room, sun room, and basement. All the rooms were fabulous, but I wanted to focus on the basement. It was completely unfinished and Debra helped me with space planning, carpet, furniture, and paint selection, and every other detail that goes into finishing a basement. We even included a stage for my daughter to dance on and present plays! I still can't believe how incredible it turned out. Don't tell her I said this, but she didn't charge me nearly enough!
