At Benjamin Vandiver Interior Décoration, we focus on designing spaces that are deeply personal. BV is known for our ability to blend modern sensibilities with timeless design, creating interiors that resonate emotionally with those who live in them. Our work spans a broad range of aesthetics, from country retreats and classic traditional designs to modern city living and the collected look that incorporates historical influences – what unites our designs is a shared focus on warmth, livability, and comfort, ensuring that every space feels deeply personal.
Our work transcends aesthetics, with a deep commitment to understanding our clients' stories and how they truly live – we take the time to learn what matters most to our clients. This insight shapes every design choice, allowing each project to unfold in a way that feels both natural and deeply aligned with the client. It’s not about imposing a signature style, but about helping the client's story come to life through design.
BV’s design philosophy centers around a process of dialogue between the client, the space, and the context. We approach each project with intellectual curiosity, always seeking to create spaces that are layered, lived-in, and reflect those who inhabit them. This approach has earned BV a loyal following, with many clients returning for second and third homes.
BV’s eye for unique, one-of-a-kind pieces set our designs apart. We are often found scouring antique markets and auctions, searching for those rare, singular items that bring soul to a space. BV’s rigor is curating the unique pieces, ensuring that each space tells a story.
Although featured in numerous publications, our focus remains on creating homes that are not only beautiful but also embrace those who live there. The ultimate compliment often comes when a client walks into their completed home and says, "It already feels like us—it already feels like home."
