EP Design Studio is based in Fresno, California — however we are very flexible in where we serve!

We offer local interior design and decorating services throughout the Central Valley. From Fresno, Clovis, and surrounding areas to Bakersfield.

We are also available for travel to the Central Coast such as San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach, Carmel-by-the-Sea, and Monterey surrounding areas. We can travel throughout most of California for large full scale projects.

EP Design Studio works with all kinds of interior design styles! We particularly love creating eclectic interiors by mixing in both modern and traditional elements.

Eclectic [ih-klek-tik]: “not following any one system, as of philosophy, medicine, etc., but selecting and using what are considered the best elements of all systems.”

Whether contemporary to traditional styles — we love to bring in new ideas and tie them in with your personal aesthetic. We love thinking outside of the box and pushing our creative boundaries!

In our signature luxury service of full service furniture & styling — we execute the project from concept to install. Our fees reflect the level of work, professionalism, and investment put into these projects. This will be on a custom flat fee determined by the scope of work involved. We understand that you’ll want to know if your investment range aligns with us. After submitting an inquiry, we’ll be able to chat with you about investment ranges during our initial discovery call.

We feel that the best interiors are curated from multiple sources. This means we don’t approach your furnishing project as “shopping for furniture” or making your home feel like it’s staged with matching showroom furniture sets. Every piece is intentionally selected for the project. We prioritize sourcing from a variety of to-the-trade furniture vendors & manufacturers on all our full service projects. From customized upholstered furnishings to in-stock styles, there’s a variety of options for us to source from! Here are just some of the major benefits of sourcing from direct to trade vendors:

• More extensive catalogue of furnishings than an average retailer

• Vendors at all different price points & styles

• Ability to personalize pieces depending on the vendor

• Vendors are directly processing & shipping the orders

We also work with custom furniture craftsmen for high quality, bespoke furniture.

Full service furnishing is great for the client who wants to invest in a complete turnkey space with little to no involvement in the logistics & execution. A great way to look at it is that full service design is “designer driven- client approved”. Here are some common areas of concern that EP Design Studio can help with:

• Don’t have time in your schedule to prioritize the project

• No “design eye”, feeling overwhelmed on doing it yourself

• Tired of buying and returning pieces that don’t work

• Wants their space move-in ready without any hassle

• You’re an investor and don’t want to play designer in furnishing your rental

In addition, please feel free to take our quick little quiz to find out which furnishing service best suits your specific project needs!

Full service furnishing may still be an option depending on what your budget is. For example, larger projects can be split into phases. However, we offer cost-effective design services that are great for clients who prefer to save costs by managing and executing their own projects!

Virtual Design is a 100% online design service and a fantastic solution for those with smaller budgets. Learn more here.

Design consultations are ideal for the client who just needs a Designer to sit down, brainstorm & bounce design ideas off of. Read more about that here.

Exciting news! EP Design Studio is expanding our service offerings to renovations and remodels. These projects can be overwhelming with all the design decisions you need to make. With knowledge of your personal taste, vision and lifestyle — we lead the creative aspect of your project. From not only specifying finishes, colors, fixtures, etc., but also collaborating with your contractor to ensure that the design is being executed successfully.

While full service is ideal for starting over completely and/or mostly with new furniture — we completely understand keeping existing furniture when necessary!

Here’s some questions we consider:

• Is your furniture still in good shape?

• Is there potential to have it refurbished and/or reupholstered?

• Does it align with your design vision?

• What’s your investment for the new furniture?

Pst - we love antique one-of-a-kind heirlooms. ;) So if you’re into fusing modern and traditional elements into a space like we are, then we’ll want to make it work in the space!
