Have you ever walked into a room and wished you could style your home in a similar way? Maybe it’s the furniture that pairs so well with the wall colors, or the decor that perfectly accents the rest of the space. The good news is that interior design is very intentional, and is the best in the game at collaborating with clients to deliver on those seamless styles.

A family-owned and boutique-style interior design firm located in Excelsior, Union Place, offers interior design services and home technology systems.

The combination of tech and design gives Union Place a unique position in the interior design market. But it’s really the team’s commitment to collaboration and excellence that sets them apart.

“One of my philosophies is that I don’t have a ‘look.’ If you hire me to help you with your home, it’s really gonna look like it belongs to you and what you think is for you. My ideas help you make better decisions than you would on your own. I work collaboratively that way,” says Maud Duggan, co-owner of Union Place.

✨Pro Tip: One of the latest interior design trends growing in popularity right now is that color palettes are moving away from grays and whites towards more moody tones such as reds, greens, blues, and plums.

👉 High-style meets high-tech. See how Union Place creates interiors that are as functional as they are stunning + more of the latest interior design trends. Full story in bio or at: https://citylifestyle.com/articles/design-that-feels-like-home
