Design Notes from the Studio
After 20 years designing homes across the US, Europe, and Asia, I returned to Colorado to focus exclusively on South Denver neighborhoods. This journal shares what I'm learning as I navigate Centennial kitchens, Littleton historic homes, and the unique challenges of designing close to home.
You'll find project stories, design philosophy, practical advice, and honest reflections on what it takes to create homes that work for real families.
How to Design a Home That Feels Like You
Why "finding your style" is the wrong starting point, and the questions that get you to a home that feels like yours.
The Impact of Custom Millwork and Built-Ins in Luxury Homes
In the world of luxury interior design, it is the details that whisper elegance and the craftsmanship that speaks of permanence. Custom millwork and built-ins are more than architectural elements; they are the poetry of a well-loved home, the art that turns a space into a sanctuary. For discerning homeowners in Centennial, Denver, and beyond, these bespoke touches reflect a deep appreciation for quality, beauty, and the enduring charm of artistry.
Design with Intention: How to Vote with Your Dollars in Interior Design
In a world that can often feel overwhelming, we still have the power to shape it—one choice, one purchase, one home at a time. The way we spend our money is a reflection of our values, a quiet yet profound act of belief in the world we want to live in. When it comes to interior design, every dollar spent is an opportunity to invest in craftsmanship, integrity, and community.
The Art of Layered Lighting in High-End Interior Design
When designing a luxury home, lighting is often the unsung hero that elevates a space from ordinary to extraordinary. Layered lighting is the strategic use of multiple light sources to create an adaptable and inviting atmosphere in any room. More than just a design element, this approach enhances both aesthetics and functionality, making every space more livable and enjoyable.
How to Incorporate Art and Collectibles Into Your Home Design
There is an undeniable magic in a home that feels deeply personal; a space curated with intention, where every object has a story to tell. At Jamie House Design, we believe that luxury isn't just about opulence; it’s about meaning, connection, and the joy of living with pieces that truly resonate.
The Art of Choosing: Trade, Retail, and Custom Furnishings
At Jamie House Design, we curate interiors using a mix of trade, retail, and custom pieces to create a home that is as unique as you are. Our expertise ensures that each selection aligns with your aesthetic, lifestyle, and budget while elevating the overall design.

Why I'm a residential interior designer: a reintroduction | Jamie House Design
I have always believed that the way we design our homes has a profound impact on how we live. A well-designed space isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about function, comfort, and creating a sanctuary that supports and enhances your lifestyle. That belief is the foundation of Jamie House Design.
With nearly 20 years of experience in high-end residential design, I have worked on projects ranging from small historic remodels to expansive 12,000-square-foot new construction homes. My career has taken me across Houston, Florida, the Cayman Islands, and even China, collaborating with discerning clients to craft deeply personal, beautifully layered interiors. Before launching Jamie House Design, I honed my skills at several luxury interior design firms, developing a signature approach that embraces color, pattern, texture, antiques, and original art in all its forms—from canvas to pottery.

At Jamie House Design, we believe that having children doesn’t mean sacrificing luxury or style. Your home should serve your family beautifully, providing comfort, practicality, and a refined aesthetic that enhances daily life. Let’s debunk some of the most common myths about designing with kids in mind.
