We create beautiful, creative, functional and warm living and working spaces. We want our clients to love the environments they live and work in. To achieve this, we create spaces that reflect our clients’ individuality, lifestyle, and personality.  We accomplish this by creating detailed design visuals and providing an efficient project management process marked by transparent and clear communications with our clients and contractors.

Whether the project is new construction, a remodel, project management, space planning, picking out furnishings and colors, or styling, we can help design a functional and beautiful space.


Black Cedar Interior Design offers a variety of packages—everything from full-service design and project management to design boards only.  Whether you have a large or small budget, we can help you create a beautiful, functional space that meets your needs.


There are many advantages to hiring Black Cedar, including:

  • Advanced education, experience, and knowledge to advise and assist throughout the design processes;
  • Discounts received from a variety of vendors/merchants passed on to you;
  • Established relationships with local contractors, tradespeople, and suppliers which can help keep projects on desired budget/schedule;
  • Achieving a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing design;
  • Reduced stress and uncertainty in all phases of your project—whether new construction, a remodel, or a redesign, so we help you enjoy the process.

We hired Black Cedar to help us design new interior decor for our new home.  The process from the beginning was wonderful.  Kelly and Brandy came out to our home initially and it was seamless from there.  They have a wonderful sense of design (which I am lacking :)) and helped us to pull everything together. 

The results have been everything we were hoping for.  We would refer them highly! 

-Teresa S. 


Brandy and Kelly of Black Cedar Interior Design were professional, friendly, knowledgeable and put forth great ideas for our two bathroom remodels.  We recommend them highly and  plan to use them again in the near future!

"I want to take a moment to share my wonderful experience working with Black Cedar Design.  From start to finish, Brandy and Kelly were incredibly professional and easy to work with. They listened to my ideas and provided valuable insights that truly enhanced our home project from start to finish. The results exceeded my expectations.  I love every room in my home, from the fun bar area to the classic and comfy living room. The home showcases the girl's exceptional creativity and attention to detail.

 

In addition to their impressive design skills, I appreciated their commitment to deadlines and clear communication throughout the process. It made our entire experience smooth and stress-free. I felt valued as a client, and I am thrilled with my new home and our collaboration. I highly recommend Black Cedar Design for anyone seeking to enhance the beauty of their home with stunning and innovative design ideas. Thank you for making this experience so enjoyable!" -Jen and Tony C.

"Using Black Cedar was by far the best decision we could have made! Kelly was able to perfectly design the basement of our dreams while absolutely nailing our personal style. It was an amazing and smooth experience from our first meeting to our final walk though. I can't recommend Black Cedar enough!" -Kendra C.


“The Black Cedar Interior Design team was a pleasure to work with.  We appreciated their good communication and willingness to collaborate as a team to complete a great project.”
