Interior Design in Punta Gorda & Port Charlotte

Interior Design for Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte & Charlotte Harbor Homes

Our interior design studio is in Charlotte Harbor, on the north shore of the Peace River across from downtown Punta Gorda, so most of our clients live a short drive away in Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, Charlotte Harbor and North Port. We are Holly and Lori, and we have designed Southwest Florida homes for more than 20 years, with 500+ projects completed. We still lead every project ourselves.

Designing a home here is different from designing one up north. Afternoon sun pours through big sliders and fades fabrics and rugs; humidity and salt air near the harbor change how wood, metal and natural fibers age; and most homes have tile floors and an open great room that runs straight out to the lanai or the pool. Good interior design in Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte plans for all of that, so the room still looks right in August and in ten years.

Many of our clients also own a seasonal home or are building a new one. Because we handle furniture ordering, receiving, delivery and placement, a home can be furnished and finished before you arrive for the season, and new builds can be planned with the builder from the first selections. Read our guides to furnishing a Florida condo before season and what to decide early in a new build.

Frequently Asked Questions

Looking for an Interior Designer Near You?

If you are searching for an interior designer near Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte or Charlotte Harbor, we are local, and we design whole homes as well as single rooms. A full-home project might cover the layout, color palette, finishes, furniture, lighting, window treatments, rugs and art; a smaller one might be a living room refresh or a primary suite that finally feels finished.

Either way, the work starts the same way: a conversation in your home about how you live, what is not working, and the style you are drawn to. From there we put together layouts, palettes and selections for your review, refine them with you, and then source, coordinate and, where the design calls for it, renovate to make the plan real.

Bedroom design in Punta Gorda

Bedrooms get the same care as the rooms guests see. For a primary suite or a guest room in Punta Gorda or Port Charlotte, we plan the layout and furniture, choose the wall color or wallpaper, add window treatments with blackout where you need it, and pull the room together with a custom headboard and breathable, layered bedding. You can see finished bedrooms in our portfolio.
