Studio Ballou

Classic. Modern. Personal.

Founded in 2013 and based in Washington, D.C., Studio Ballou has earned a reputation for creating homes of beauty and purpose—spaces thoughtfully tailored to each client’s vision and the distinct character of the architecture.

A restful space is often best outfitted with meditative elements—restricted color palettes, organic shapes, symmetry—that ground and bring comfort.

Dining rooms can be formal, informal, or designed in such a way that they can be dressed up or down as the occasion demands. They are a space that can hold a bit of drama, as their simple function makes way for more daring form.

Quiet colorways afford a designer the opportunity to play with textures and geometry. Across furniture, textiles, and styling pieces, visual interest and warmth can be infused throughout a space through the use of enticing textures and eye catching patterns and shapes.

Unexpected color palettes drawn from art or inspired by a client's existing collection can create a beautifully complex space. In this instance, we selected the paint color of the millwork to complement our client's deep teal carpet. Designing around this strong element made our choices all the more intentional.

Traditional and contemporary design each shine in their own right. But when combined? They can harmonize ways that surprise and delight.

As the end of summer nears, we like to think about ways we can preserve a relaxed state of mind.

Wallpaper is transformative, immediately eliciting strong emotion—whether consciously or beneath the surface. A scenic design can transport, a pattern-based design can calm or excite, and a textured design can create warmth, depth, and subtle complexity.

Wallpaper can be proudly bold or confidently quiet, but it never fails to add interest to a space.

Spaces that are comfortable for the whole family don't have to be overly casual. A thoughtfully paired sofa and cozy lounge chair convey confidence in their simplicity.

We still have several prime weeks for outdoor dining ahead of us!

Spaces that bring the outdoors in, or vice-versa, are often some of the favorites in a home across the seasons, but especially in the warmer months. Memories are made over meals accented with a warm breeze, stories are read under dappled sunlight, and peace is found in spaces that bring together comfort and natural beauty.
