For people who choose homes because of their history
Based in the Catskills, New York working with clients across the U.S. and beyond.
Welcome
Christienne Dobson Design is a Catskills-based studio focused on thoughtful renovations and interiors for homes with history and spaces full of character.
We approach each project with care, clarity, and intention, balancing historic integrity with the needs of modern life. Whether restoring architectural details or reworking a layout, our work is guided by how you live day to day and what makes your home uniquely yours.
The Heart of Our Work
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.
We design for people who choose homes because of their history, not in spite of it.
With care, clarity, and intention, we create spaces that feel timeless, lived-in, and deeply personal.
Thoughtful renovations for homes with history
Driven by a love of old houses, we design spaces that feel elevated and deeply livable, balancing historic character with modern function. From early planning through furnishings and final installation, our work supports how you live day to day while honoring what makes your home unique.
A clear, collaborative design process from concept to completion
Our process is structured yet flexible, guiding each project from initial consultation through design development and final installation. We collaborate closely with clients, architects, and trades, acting as a bridge between vision and execution so every detail is considered and thoughtfully realized.
A considered approach to homes with history
Homes with history require a different approach, one that respects what exists while making space for how people live today.
Christienne Dobson Design focuses on thoughtful renovations and interiors that balance architectural character with modern function. Each project is guided by care, clarity, and a deep understanding of proportion, material, and the rhythms of daily life.
The result is a home that feels enduring, livable, and deeply personal.
