For us here at CFD, Commercial Design is all about helping business owners and supporting our local economy. Commercial Design is a key part of our own business here at the studio, and today we're giving it the spotlight on the blog. Right from the start, businesses of all shapes and sizes have come to CFD looking for help creating a more functional, beautiful, usable space. Whether it's employees or customers, commercial spaces are places where people spend a great deal of time, and where so much important connection happens- and to us, that means great design is in order. From enhancing productivity to elevating customer appeal, we believe that workspaces should work hard to make the business the best that it can be.

Whether your walls are expansive or small, there's no better way to gussy 'em up than a gallery wall. But when you've got dozens of pieces and parts staring you down, getting them up in a cohesive fashion can seem like a very tall order- but it doesn't have to be. We've got Cat's tips and tricks for how to make it a beautiful and unique feature in your home.

We get a great many questions from folks about what all we do at CFD. There are so many answers! But a lot of it comes down to Custom Design. As a Full-Service Design Firm, our work is a little different than what you might see at other places (and we think that's a good thing!). Our joy comes from creating a completely unique space for every single client. We're going to share a little insight into our process and how we connect with clients to make each space that perfect one-of-a-kind fit.

When we look back at this incredible Lakehouse Redesign project, we can't help but wish we were there right now. Life at the lake is even sweeter when the inside is just as beautiful as the out. With a multi-room custom redesign, this space became the perfect balance of charming, modern, and serene.

We are so excited to see one of our recent projects featured in the March issue of Chapel Hill Magazine! The article highlights our recent work with Jackie and Dr. Doug Villard on their family home in the triangle area of North Carolina, adjacent to the North Carolina Botanical Gardens.
