Approach

At Apropos Design, our designs are created using the theory of “Emotional Aesthetics.” Interior design is a combination of aesthetics and functionality, and we believe the feeling the space elicits is just as important. The space should speak silently, but clearly, and tell a story. We create atmosphere.

Testimonials

Shandra was so easy to work with on our basement finishing project. She had wonderful ideas, was extremely responsive, engaged in the process and fun to be around! We had a really tricky basement pole right in the middle of the room. She had the idea to make a beautiful bookshelf out of it and it is the best part of the room. I would definitely call her again!

Amy S.

My husband and I had a million and a half ideas for our basement remodel but didn’t know how to edit or put it all together. Shandra and Jennifer really listened to what we wanted and came up with a sleek and FABULOUS design that incorporated nuances of almost every idea/concept we had… and made all of it work together in such beautiful harmony. They spent time getting to know us and our dogs 🙂 and took the time to discuss all the material that would be used. I can’t wait until we can begin construction!

Shandra is amazing! The first time I met her I knew immediately that I would enjoy working with her. She’s just a spark of sunshine. Every time we met for a consult, we had such a good time that we usually didn’t want to stop talking. I had a lot of my own ideas and opinions coming in, and she easily meshed those together with her own great ideas and expertise. She always made sure I was happy and confident with all of the choices we made, no matter how long it took me to decide. Add the fact that our project was about 2/3rds finished and then the pandemic hit – she never skipped a beat. She had to deal with some delays due to items being back ordered or samples needing sanitized between customers and she handled them seamlessly and with great care to keep us on track, but also safe at the same time. I have gained a friend while working with her and I’m so happy with the final product that we built together. Thank you!!

Shandra is extremely professional and knowledgeable. She was clearly passionate about helping us execute the vision we had for our new home.

Darren H. & Natalie S.

I was referred to Apropos Design by a friend and was told that i would not be disappointed and believe me i was was totally impressed with the finished work that was done to my home. Apropos Design had all the subs that i needed in place and all of them did a amazing job from the construction team for my kitchen, the stone company for my new fireplace, electricians, painters, and carpet company. They picked out new furniture for my rooms, area rugs for my floors, art work for the walls, new lighting fixtures, new ceiling fans and also picked out the new hardware for the kitchen and bathroom redo. My formal dinning room was transformed into a cocktail style sitting room which everyone that has seen it says with one word WOW… Look no further, Apropos design is your one stop design team.
