Deeply resonant. Delightfully unexpected.

DebbiPorter-Submark-Camel

Interiors designed
for your self-expression.

If you’re like us, you believe that interior design is a conduit for self-expression. Every space offers an opportunity to weave together your identity and your home’s history. Through color, shape, and texture, we create immersive environments that feel deeply resonant yet delightfully unexpected.

To achieve this originality and, at times, design daring, we treat every project as a creative partnership. With us, you will enjoy engaging in a “collaboration of minds,” where your lifestyle, personality, and vision become the foundation of your bespoke home. Then, we treat you to impeccable service, leading and executing every detail to its expertly tailored finish.

A DESIGN STUDIO
rooted in creativity, fashion, and people.

I’m Debbi, the Principal Designer at Debbi Porter Interiors. Before my rewarding career in interior design, I spent two decades in fashion design. There, my fascination with self-expression flourished, as I led clients in discovering and embracing their individual style.

As an Interior Designer, I uphold the same approach. Design, like fashion, is personal. It’s visual, tactile, and emotive. That’s why I remain every client’s chief creative collaborator and point of contact — it ensures that every detail is meticulously selected with you in mind, from intriguing patterns and silhouettes to chic colorways that set a mood.

Together, we will push the right artistic boundaries, immerse you in comfort,
and elevate the way you experience home.

Our MISSION

Our accomplished clients want homes that reflect their hard earned success, inspire them to relax and live better than ever, and reflect their distinct sense of personality.  They desire a home created with quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship, where they can enjoy meaningful experiences with loved ones.

Kind Words

“Debbi immediately treated me like a partner.”

From our first consultation, she read my aesthetic, then offered bold ideas that took my initial design to a new level. With her help, we’ve transformed my home into an elegant, comfortable, and functional space that is truly one-of-a-kind. I couldn’t be happier!

A preview of the custom brand mark for a new inter A preview of the custom brand mark for a new interior design studio in Pennsylvania. The overall look we were going for was sophisticated, weaving together modern and vintage vibes, feminine but not frilly, distinctive but also looking like it could have been around forever. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The next step is adding color, and I couldn't be more excited! So much thought goes into this stage, but if you do the prep work right, it's not so dauntless. Personally, I like to keep to 1-2 colors only. But sometimes the brand may need more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This week I decided I'll be posting nothing but fl This week I decided I'll be posting nothing but flatlays, without changing my content pillars. Let's see if I can keep this up. 😂

Today's quote is one of my favorites, which applies to branding so perfectly, don't you think?

Shiny object syndrome. Who doesn't have it? I know Shiny object syndrome. Who doesn't have it? I know I do. 

I've had this vision board for my brand for years and it has always held true about how I want the brand to look and feel. But every so often I convince myself that there's probably a new vision worth pursuing. 

And then I get reminded of the fact that while your brand doesn't have to be set in stone, it does need to stay long enough to be recognized. If your only reason for rebranding is because you're bored with how it looks, then you probably don't need to rebrand. 

Ask yourself instead: has your audience changed? How about your core message? Has your service or product changed? Is your brand outdated? Those are perfectly valid reasons to rebrand. 

Boredom or envy? Not so much. And neither is discovering a gorgeous new font. Otherwise I'd be rebranding every week. lol.

So proud of the transformation we've achieved for So proud of the transformation we've achieved for website of @magyinteriors - another mother daughter design team I had the pleasure of working with! ​​​​​​​​​
Their website is in classic tones of cream, soft blue, and charcoal grey, and features layered animations and video backgrounds to give an immersive feeling. Everything is carefully curated, and the images are hand picked to showcase what they can do, and give visual support for the copy. (Written by the amazing @ochreandbeige)

Lust Display is one of my favorite typefaces! I th Lust Display is one of my favorite typefaces! I think it's absolutely stunning and glamorous and renders very well in large sizes. (It is a display font, after all.)

Being an OpenType font, it also gives you so many glyph options that can be accessed if you have an OpenType aware application, like Illustrator or Photoshop.

Positype is one of the font foundries I follow. My other favorite from them is called Scotch. Will feature that soon!
