Homes in Decatur

Decatur homeowners often live in 1920s and 1930s bungalows in neighborhoods like Oakhurst and Winnona Park, where small, enclosed kitchens frequently prompt Kitchen Design projects to open up the space. Many homes in Clairemont and Great Lakes Estates, built in the 1950s and 1960s, feature primary bathrooms with outdated layouts that benefit from Bathroom Design and space planning. Later homes in Medlock Park, from the 1970s and 1980s, often have basements with low ceilings, making Basement Remodel projects common to improve functionality. We also assist with Furnishing & Styling for homes across these eras, ensuring new pieces complement existing architecture.

What homeowners in Decatur ask for

Homeowners in Decatur frequently engage us for Kitchen Design to modernize 1920s and 1930s bungalow kitchens, often involving removing walls to create more open living spaces. Bathroom Design projects are also common in 1950s and 1960s homes, where we reconfigure layouts to maximize space and update fixtures. Many requests involve Full-Home Design for older residences that require comprehensive updates to multiple living spaces and bedrooms. We also provide Furnishing & Styling for homes built in the 1970s and 1980s, updating interiors to reflect contemporary tastes.
