Fully Managed Painting Services with Professional Interior Design Guidance –
Most painting contractors ask one simple question: “What color do you want?” The challenge is that many homeowners aren’t sure.

That’s where DF Design is different. We combine professional painting services with the expertise of an experienced Interior Designer who guides every color and design decision. Instead of handing you a paint deck and leaving you to decide alone, we create a complete, cohesive plan that aligns your paint colors with your furnishings, flooring, lighting, cabinetry and overall design goals.

Wow! That’s what we hear from our visitors when they come to our home and see the elegance and charm that DF Design created for us. We were extremely satisfied with the professionalism and expertise and we highly recommended their service to anyone looking to update their home.
I hired DF Design for a virtual consult on flooring and painting colors. They were extremely professional and helpful during my consult and helped me stay on task and not get distracted in 100 different directions. This made the focus very narrowed and we were able to make color decisions together effectively so that I could start the process of my remodel. Will definitely use them again.
Great experience from the very start! Our focus was the living room but expanded the project to make some updates throughout the first floor. My family loves the updated look and feel. Design and implementation went very well. Update included new lighting, baseboards, painting, carpeting, window treatments, and new pieces of furniture and artwork. Results were of high quality and workers were professional and courteous. We liked Dennis’ style to design and managing the project.
