Swell Design just finished the complete remodel and redesign of our family room / bar area and I am beyond thrilled with the result! It's a beautiful transformation and we love absolutely everything about it. Elissa and Katy were extremely thoughtful, savvy and considerate in their design ideas - from making sure it was not only beautiful but functional for our family. They took my ideas and "wish list" and up-leveled it in a way I couldn't have ever imagined on my own. They managed every aspect of the remodel with the contractors, making the process seamless and easy. I already want to work on

We have had a phenomenal experience with Swell Design Co. Elissa and Katy transformed the bathroom on the main floor of our house into an amazingly vibrant and revitalized space. Literally every time I walk in there I smile at the result. These ladies have great insight on style and design and gave great attention to how every small detail came together to create the room. They listened carefully to things we liked or disliked and came up with a design board and then a finished product that captures both our personality and their impeccable style. I was so inspired by the transformation of this

Katy and Elissa did an amazing job transforming our living room and home office from almost bare spaces into rooms that look incredible and we love spending time in. Considering we know nothing about interior design or decorating, they were super patient as they took us through the process, and managed to really account for our personal tastes. It was a great experience working with them and we couldn't be happier with the results.
