Welcome
Christienne Dobson Design is an interior design studio rooted in the belief that homes should feel deeply personal, quietly beautiful, and built for real life. Based in the Catskills and working both locally and virtually, we specialize in thoughtful renovations and interior design for old homes and character-rich spaces.
Our work is guided by a respect for history, craftsmanship, and the rhythms of daily living. Whether restoring lost architectural charm, reimagining floor plans for modern family life, or layering in finishes and furnishings that feel collected over time, every project is approached with care, clarity, and intention.
The result is spaces that honor where they’ve been, support how you live now, and feel warm, timeless, and entirely your own.
Every space carries a story. Our role is to honor the history that came before while shaping environments that support how people live and gather today. With care, clarity, and intention, we design homes and boutique commercial spaces that feel timeless, lived-in, and deeply personal.
The Heart of
Our Work
What We Do
Christienne Dobson Design specializes in thoughtful renovations and interior design for old homes, character-rich residences, and select boutique commercial spaces. From reimagining floor plans to selecting finishes, furnishings, and décor, we create environments that feel elevated and lived-in, spaces that function beautifully for modern life while honoring the history and integrity of the architecture.
Who We Are
Our Mission
To create spaces that are both beautiful and deeply livable. We design homes and select boutique commercial environments that honor history, support everyday life, and bring comfort, warmth, and quiet joy for years to come.
Rooted in a love of old houses and character-rich spaces. We balance timeless architecture with thoughtful, practical design choices that feel warm, lived-in, and enduring.
Our Perspective
We approach every project with respect for architectural character while embracing the functionality, clarity, and warmth needed for modern living, shaping spaces that feel timeless, personal, and purposefully designed.
How We Work
Our process is collaborative, clear, and grounded in real life. We begin by understanding how you live or operate in your space and what you’re drawn to aesthetically. From there, we develop a design direction and guide projects from concept through implementation — acting as a translator between clients, contractors, and trades to ensure every detail is intentional, cohesive, and buildable.
Our Experience
From floor plan reviews to full-service renovations, interior fit-outs, and boutique commercial projects, we bring a thoughtful eye and hands-on design expertise to every project — balancing big-picture vision with careful attention to detail.
Our Approach
Collaborative, clear, and detail-driven. We guide clients from vision through final installation, bridging creative direction with practical execution so the process feels inspiring, organized, and well supported.
