Interior Environments & Design

At Senior by Design, Interior Environments and Design is where our work truly comes to life. As a boutique, custom interior design firm, our goal is never to blend in. We design spaces that are memorable, emotionally resonant, and distinctly personal. We want people to walk into a community and immediately feel something: warmth, excitement, comfort, or curiosity. Our interiors are intentionally layered and thoughtfully composed so they stand apart from the competition and leave a lasting impression.

We believe great design should tell a story. That’s why we love incorporating statement pieces that become visual anchors within a space, whether it’s a bold coral or blue grand piano, a hand-carved life-size wooden eagle, or a sculptural art installation that sparks conversation. These moments of surprise and delight give our communities identity and character, helping residents and guests remember not just the space, but how it made them feel.

We are also deeply committed to creating interiors that feel lived-in and authentic, never sterile or institutional. We frequently layer in antiques, collected objects, and one-of-a-kind pieces in both common areas and model units to create depth, soul, and a sense of home. Our spaces are designed to feel warm, welcoming, and human, avoiding anything overly clinical, cold, or hospital-like. Even when a design leans modern, it is always balanced with texture, softness, and character.

Functionality is just as important as beauty. Every interior environment we design carefully balances resident comfort, durability, and long-term performance. Furniture must work exceptionally well for residents, hold up to daily use, and age gracefully over time, all while enhancing the overall design aesthetic. We consider scale, circulation, acoustics, lighting, and materiality to ensure spaces are not only beautiful, but comfortable and intuitive to use.

Ultimately, SBD designs interiors spaces where residents feel at home, operators feel confident, and communities feel proud. Whether we’re designing for senior living or multifamily environments, our approach is rooted in creating places that are warm, expressive, and enduring. Spaces shouldn’t feel generic, and with SBD, they never do.
