Complete Home Furnishings Design Services in Greensboro, NC

Whether you're being strategic with your budget to maximize every design dollar or you're ready to invest in that statement piece that transforms your entire space, our economics-trained design approach combined with extensive fabric expertise helps you create exactly what you need. Drawing from my economics background and hands-on learning approach with over 20 years of real client experience, I've developed strategies that make the most of every design dollar while creating pieces that truly last. This isn't just about making home furnishings—it's about making smart investments in your home that you'll love for years to come.

 


Why Choose Our Custom Home Furnishings Expertise?

Economics-Trained Design Approach That Maximizes Your Investment

Since 2004, we've specialized in designing custom home furnishings that combine thoughtful craftsmanship with practical elegance. After selling our handcrafted pillow collection at Aubrey Home in Greensboro for over 13 years, we've built deep roots in the local design community. We continue to serve clients throughout the NC Triad—Greensboro, Winston-Salem and High Point—while operating our boutique pillow shop at Martin's Mercantile in Summerfield.

Your space and preferences matter most to me. It's your investment, not mine, so your needs and comfort with every decision guide everything we create together. Our client-first, solution-oriented approach focuses on how you actually live rather than rigid design rules.

Want to see and experience our workmanship and eye for design before commissioning custom pieces? Check out our curated selection of handcrafted pillows at our boutique pillow shop at Martin's Mercantile in Summerfield, NC.


Who We Serve: Real Homes, Real Life

Our diverse client base includes families whose well-loved pets are part of daily life, busy professionals creating peaceful retreats at home, and second-home owners furnishing their beach, mountain or lakeside getaways with comfort and style.

Comprehensive Custom Solutions for Every Room

Custom Bedding Design

Create the bedroom retreat you've been dreaming of with duvets, bed skirts, Euro shams, decorative pillow shams, lumbar pillows and bolsters that coordinate perfectly with your vision and existing décor. Our custom, made-to-order approach ensures perfect sizing and fabric coordination that ready-made options simply can't match.

Window Treatment Solutions

From drapery panels with traditional pinch pleats to contemporary Euro pleats or modern ripplefold—plus café curtains, valances, cornices and faux Roman shades. Use blackout lining, flannel-backed lining or interlining to create treatments that block light, dampen sound and regulate temperature for enhanced comfort year-round.

Custom Seating Solutions

Seat cushions, bench cushions, banquette cushions and dining chair covers that perfectly fit your furniture while withstanding real life with pets, kids and daily use. Performance fabric applications using premium Crypton, Sunbrella or Thibaut InsideOut collections that handle daily life while maintaining comfortable sophistication.

Custom Decorative Pillows

Custom decorative pillows in various sizes and shapes—square throw pillows, lumbar pillows, Euro shams, decorative pillow shams and bolsters—that add comfort and enhance your décor.

Indoor-Outdoor Fabric Expertise

We specialize in pillows and cushions using premium indoor-outdoor fabrics for decks, balconies, porches, patios and poolside
areas. Today's indoor-outdoor fabrics are fade resistant, stain resistant and durable while also being beautiful and surprisingly soft—making them a versatile option for any room throughout your home or your outdoor living spaces.

Refresh & Repurpose: Sustainable Solutions That Maximize Your Investment

Good design doesn't always mean buying new. Rather than starting from scratch, we often start from what matters most—honoring the life already lived in your space through thoughtful refresh and repurpose solutions:

  • —Update pillow inserts for that perfectly plump, high-end look that makes existing covers feel brand new

  • —Create new pillow covers for existing comfy pillow inserts whether for complete replacement of tired covers or to add seasonal variety and extend the life of favorite covers

  • —Replace sagging cushion foam to restore comfort and support in preferred seating pieces

  • —Remake or hem existing draperies for updated style or to accommodate new windows

  • —Create new covers for existing cushions using performance fabrics that extend their life significantly

  • —Re-upholster cornice boards to complement new décor—these classic elements are experiencing renewed popularity

This investment in quality that lasts reflects our commitment to creating pieces you'll love for years to come rather than temporary solutions that need frequent replacement.

What Makes Our Design Process Different

Customer's Own Materials (COM) Flexibility

We welcome your fabric choices and will design custom furnishings using your fabric, our fabric, fabric we find together, or fabric we source specifically for you.

COM coordination for local clients: Bring your fabrics to our Greensboro sewing workroom & design studio where we'll assess suitability for your intended application.

COM coordination for remote clients: We'll assess suitability and provide guidance before you ship materials to ensure your fabric works beautifully for your intended application. Once we receive your materials in our Greensboro sewing workroom & design studio, we'll perform a thorough assessment of your fabric prior to cutting to confirm its appropriateness for your intended application.

Expert Fabric Sourcing Network

When you need the perfect fabric, our extensive sourcing expertise gives you access to designer and high-end materials typically available only to trade professionals. Access to our curated in-studio collection of hundreds of fabric bolts, plus High Point connections for
specialized materials and trusted online resources for coordinating fabrics and
trims.
