Through every step of the process, we create interiors that are truly “Yours by Design.” We believe that your home should reflect your lifestyle. It starts with the initial meeting where we gather your ideas and a list of wants and needs. As we design your space we are striving for functionality and flow from one room to another. See our Full-Service Interior Design Services to get you started on the path to a space you’ll love.
CJ Knapp has been a member of the American Society of Interior Designers for over twenty years.
Have you collected images of a room you love, color’s that speak to you or pictures of built ins that look like they could solve your needs. Clip them rip them and save them to show us. We love to see what your dreaming of.
Do you have a set budget in mind for your project ? If not a general rule for interior design projects is 7-10% of the homes value for mid range products. If you are looking for “Designer” level finishes we recommend 25% of the homes value.
The most important element of creating a space you’ll love is the research of products and laying out the rooms considering, traffic patterns, codes and how you intend to use each space.
How involved do you want to be. We can manage the project for you, set up meetings, go with you to make selections, procure orders set up contractor meetings and keep the project running smoothly.
“My wife and I selected CJ to help with our master suite remodel. Although, I am a design professional my wife preferred to work with someone who would be able to focus much time on our project rather than the spare time I would have to devote to the project…”
“Had the pleasure to assist in the lighting design work most recently with CJ on the Bissingers Carmel room, her vision and attention to detail shows in the incredible finished project.”
“CJ is the best! She is a very creative, knowledgable, detail oriented, patient, and fun designer. She completely redesigned my great room turning it from an ugly room that I despised and never used to a room that is beautiful and functional! It looks like it came from the pages of a magazine-I still can not believe it is my house (and it’s been over a year since completion)…”
“CJ is very creative in her approach. She will work within your budget. She also has a great deal of resources to put together the project.”
“I truly enjoy working with CJ at Yours by Design. She is always coming be with fresh and unique designs that work for her client’s needs. She is open to new ideas and always excited to show her clients the newest products available. I am always excited to work with her when she brings me a new project!”
“CJ Knapp has completed many projects for us over the years. Her service is outstanding. She had terrific taste while she still respects our family’s preferences. She is creative with space planning and she did an excellent job in staging our home when we were ready to sell. She hires the very best workers (e.g., painters, carpenters), so the job gets done in a timely and first-class manor. She’s the best.”
“CJ is talented and creative in her approach to home decorating. She is a great shopper and presents options and alternatives based on your budget. We have worked with her over 20 years!!”

“Very well. I live in another state. CJ visited my mother, measured, made suggestions and delivered a high quality, attractive product. I am very happy.”
“CJ is very knowledgeable about interior design. She made great recommendations to address my ideas and concerns. She also showed me the potential of my house and made suggestions that I never even knew were possible. The best part is that she has an extensive network of contractors and vendors that can bring any idea to life. I would definitely recommend CJ to other homeowners.”
“CJ was there every step of the way. I had my ideas and she brought new fresh ideas that worked well with what I had in mind. She was totally respectful of my taste and helped us achieve our goals. We love our remodel. CJ is knowledgeable about lighting, home products, design and color, furniture, paint, and fabric. She is the total package. Prices were up front and fair always. CJ is such a hard worker and knows the ins and outs of a remodel. She worked well with the builder. She is always cheerful and has a very kind heart. You will not be disappointed.”
“It was excellent. The workers were precise and particular. Everything was written out. No hidden charges and no surprises. The work was excellent. It was great. He made sure that everything was done by perfection.”
“It went excellent. She was very talented and she did a great work.”
“She was excellent. Strong detailed. She listen carefully and listen to the client suggestion and put the client first. She was also great in suggesting an alternative. She was wonderful to work with.”
“I’ve worked with many decorators through the years and CJ Knapp is hands down the very best of them. She listens carefully to what you prefer and to your budget, then she delivers something beyond your wildest hopes. She really captured our style, not some “cookie-cutter” look that so many decorators seem to develop, and she did so with more elan and pizzazz than I could have ever done. Any time I need a room done, I call her.”
“We are very happy with CJ’s services. CJ listened to our concerns and desired outcomes. She was able to work with pieces we wanted to keep, assisted with acquiring new furniture pieces, draperies and paint colors. She was able to assist with obtaining services needed to complete our project. We have received so many compliments on our newly redesigned rooms.”
“CJ was very knowledgeable and was able to give me some great suggestions that I hadn’t thought off, my project is almost finished and I love it!”
“CJ is an amazing decorator. She designed and executed our. Living room in the past, but recently she designed our master bath. She really made it work efficiently seeing the bathroom space is fairly small. She has many places and vendors to take you to find all your choices of flooring, cabinetry, fixtures, etc. Very Friendly and easy to with with. Would not hesitate to utilize her services for any future decorating project.”

Her design does not mimic itself or copy anyone else. I have worked with her for many years and she always shows professionalism and respect to her clients , myself and anyone she works with. Her work ethic is something to truly be admired. It’s always a privilege to collaborate and work with such a fantastic designer.”
