Working with a professionally trained interior designer changes the entire experience of creating a home.

It is not simply about selecting fabrics or choosing paint. It is about understanding proportion, scale, flow, light, and the architecture of how you live each day. It is about education, experience, and the ability to see the finished space long before it exists.

A trained designer knows how to translate your ideas into something cohesive and enduring. They anticipate challenges before they happen. They coordinate trades, manage details, protect your investment, and refine every layer so nothing feels accidental.

Most importantly, they create spaces that feel deeply personal not styled for a moment, but designed for a lifetime.

Good design is beautiful. Professional design is thoughtful, intentional, and built to last.

✤ Welcome to Faye Studio ✤

Our design library is more than a space it’s where ideas take shape and creativity comes to life. Every detail is thoughtfully curated, from the materials we showcase to the light that sets the mood.

It’s also our meeting spot, a place where clients and collaborators gather to explore possibilities, dream big, and make every project feel personal. At Faye Studio, design is intentional, layered, and full of meaning.

Interior design is not simply about how a room looks — it is about how a life unfolds within it.

At Faye Studio, we design homes that feel layered, balanced, and deeply personal. Spaces that hold history while making room for what’s next. Proportion, material, light, and restraint guide every decision, always in service of comfort and simplicity.

A well-designed home supports the rhythm of daily life — morning light in the kitchen, a quiet corner to read, a dining table that gathers family and friends. Beauty matters, but how a space feels matters more.

Design, at its best, elevates quality of life.

Our design studio is housed in an 1895 Hertz-era barn. Long before it became a space for drawings and materials, it was built with purpose — honest structure, generous proportions, and a connection to the land around it. That spirit still shapes the way we work today.

There’s something grounding about creating in a building that has stood for more than a century. The pace feels different here. Light moves slowly across the old beams, and decisions are made with care. It’s a daily reminder that the best spaces — like the barn itself — are meant to last.

For me, design has always been about quality of life: how a room supports the way you begin and end your day, how materials feel in your hands, how light, comfort, and proportion shape mood and well-being. Working in this setting reinforces that philosophy: beauty and function are not separate, but partners in how we live.

Here, surrounded by history and craftsmanship, each project becomes more than a room. It becomes a space with depth, intention, and a sense of timelessness — one that will continue to welcome life for years to come.

A well-designed home is never rushed.

At Faye Studio, we believe rooms should feel collected, personal, and intentional — spaces shaped by how you live, what you love, and the stories you carry with you. Good design isn’t about trends; it’s about balance, comfort, and the beauty of things that age well.

From architectural details to the final layered object, every decision is made with care so a home feels not just finished, but lived in from the very first day.

Thoughtful design. Timeless spaces. Personal always.

Why hire an interior designer?

A beautiful home is not the result of chance—it’s the result of intention, imagination, and a clear point of view.

At Faye Studio, we believe design should feel deeply personal and confident. It begins with understanding how you live and builds through thoughtful choices—spaces that feel collected over time, rich in texture, color, and comfort.

Hawthorn Shoppe extends that philosophy, offering a curated collection of hand-selected pieces chosen for their character, craftsmanship, and ability to bring warmth and soul to a room. These are pieces meant to be layered, mixed, and lived with—not simply placed.

Working with an interior designer brings both vision and ease. It allows the process to unfold with clarity, avoiding costly missteps and creating rooms that feel effortless, inviting, and enduring.

Great design tells a story.
It should feel lived-in, well-loved, and unmistakably yours.

Hawthorn Shoppe is a small, curated home goods shop focused on furniture, lighting, textiles, and thoughtful details for the home. Everything is selected with layered, timeless living in mind, and is an extension of the design work we do at Faye Studio.

We are so grateful for these kind words! 🤍

“I’m so grateful to have had the chance to work closely with Rita while transforming our house, especially as first-time homebuyers. She was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and supportive throughout the entire process. Rita has a true eye for design and knows how to elevate a space with intention while still making it feel like you. She made what could have felt overwhelming feel exciting and manageable, and we couldn’t be happier with the result.”
