Our full-service interior design is ideal for whole-home renovations, new builds, or tackling specific areas, such as kitchens and bathrooms.

From the moment we meet, we take the time to understand your vision, lifestyle, and personal style. Whether it’s designing spaces with warm whites, natural textures, and lakeside-inspired hues or incorporating vintage and French-inspired pieces, we ensure your home reflects your personality.

We work closely with architects and builders to make sure every detail, from room layouts to architectural features, aligns with your needs and dreams. You’ll also have our expert guidance when selecting materials, finishes, and custom furnishings. Once the design is finalized, we oversee the entire process—including ordering, tracking, and installing—all while keeping you informed every step of the way.

What Others Are Saying

"Getting your dream kitchen, with so many options to choose from, it becomes so overwhelming. Jamie has the energy, enthusiasm and insight to help you stay focused on what you really want. She gets you back on track with what matters most to you. When you are looking at a costly project like a complete kitchen redo, it is a must to invest in a designer. I am so glad I invested in Bella Traverse Design and Jamie."

Sherry H.

"Jamie did a fantastic job of understanding our likes, colors, material, and functionality of what we were trying to design. She was very accommodating and was patient whenever we made changes. She was absolutely wonderful to work with and communication was always prompt. From the pictures below, you can see that she hit it out of the park for us. We’ve had so many compliments on the colors that were used for our backsplash in the kitchen and I would highly recommend her to anyone."

Jim Z.

"Working with Jamie at Bella Traverse Design was an easy and wonderful experience, from the initial consult to the final finished walk-through. From the very beginning, Jamie was professional, yet easy-going. What we liked best about her is that she gracefully and knowledgeably led us through the design and remodel process since we knew nothing about it and were just getting into the short-term rental arena. She really took the lead to create a theme and plan that spoke to our style, personality and budget. The fact that she was a local "Michigander" helped so much because she knew the area, the culture and, ultimately, what would speak to the rental audience. We were so pleased with how easy it was to communicate with Jamie; to ask questions; to express concerns; to work together to achieve our goals. We are so happy we found her!"

Jessica R.

"Jamie was personable, and easy to communicate with. She listened to my problem areas where I feel clueless on how to decorate. She asked questions on what I do and don't like. I'm excited to see what ideas she has for my project!"

Shannon C.

"I am completely clueless when it comes to picking out furnishings, finishes, or paint colors. I know what I like/don’t like but not how to choose items that are stylistically cohesive. I am so glad we hired Jamie at Bella Traverse Design to help us with our remodel. We practically gutted our new house and she helped us every step of the way. She made the process so much easier because she knew our style and could focus on finding items that worked together and functioned best for our needs. We love how things are coming together! Well worth the investment."

Eva B.

"We hired Bella Traverse Design to stage our home that had been on the market for almost 2 years. We had an offer within 2 months of Jamie completing the staging. She presented her ideas quickly and professionally which made implementing her ideas very simple with well-organized and detailed suggestions. She was timely and reliable and was very approachable with questions and concerns. Her communication was superb and there were no hidden costs or surprises. I plan on having her assist me in some future design projects."

Michelle K.

"Bella Traverse Design was an integral part in redesigning my office. Jamie planned new colors, new floor plan, new window coverings and new accessories which greatly improved the look and feel of my accounting office. Bella Traverse Design handled the project as a whole with professionalism and an attitude toward pleasing the client."

Kathy E.

"Jamie was great to work with, and she did a great job! I would recommend Bella Traverse very highly. Jamie communicated to me throughout the process and everything was done exactly the way she said it would be…and it was done on schedule."

Sharon G.

"Jamie was great through the whole process! I had just purchased a home and wanted it renovate it to have a coastal theme. I hired Jamie to help me select paint colors, furniture, and some accessories for the house. She listened to my vision and then made it happen. We were in contact throughout the process and she provided me with examples of ideas or furniture pieces so she could get the complete package right. She is so easy to work with and did everything (and more) that I had hoped for. She turned my buyer’s remorse into a home I love!"

Marlene W.

"Jamie was very responsive and easy to work with. Once she got a feel of our expectations, she was able to run with it and came up with some great designs."

Steve D.

"Jamie did a phenomenal job with our very large kitchen remodel. She diligently stayed on top of all the pieces and worked well with our contractor. She communicates well and really pieced together a design perfect for our tastes."
