You deserve a home that reflects who you are becoming.
Petite Design Studio exists for one reason: to help people navigating divorce move from the overwhelm of starting over to the clarity of a home that finally feels like theirs. Whether you’re in Front Range, or working with us virtually, we’re here to ensure your new chapter begins on solid ground.
The Problem We Solve
Divorce asks a lot of you. Your home should be the one place that doesn't.
You’re already making the heavy decisions—legal, financial, and emotional. Somewhere in the middle, you’re expected to furnish and set up a whole new life. Most people try to push through alone, only to end up with a space that feels like a temporary waiting room.
It’s not for lack of effort; it’s because creating a home that reflects a new identity takes more than furniture. It takes a plan.
“Your fresh start should feel intentional, not improvised.”
Why Petite Design Studio is Different
Built from lived experience and professional expertise.
Founder Caren Henderson understands this experience from the inside. As a child of divorce, she saw firsthand how a physical space impacts a family’s ability to heal. As an adult, she navigated her own divorce, discovering that redesigning her home was the catalyst for reclaiming her identity and confidence.
We didn’t stumble into this niche. We built this studio specifically for it—combining professional design precision with the empathy that only comes from having walked the path.
"As someone who works with designers every day, I know talent when I see it. Caren has an exceptional ability to mix textures, patterns, and colors in a way that feels both intentional and effortless." — Leanna Boers, Owner, Hoff Miller Showroom
Petite Design Studio is Denver’s only interior design firm built exclusively around the transition of divorce.
Our Approach
More than just a pretty home.
Unmistakably yours
We help you shed the "we" and rediscover the "I," creating a space that looks and feels exactly like your next chapter.
A well-designed home isn't a luxury. It's the foundation for moving forward — and yet it's almost always the last thing people get to. It ends up on the 'I'll deal with it someday' list while everything else takes priority. But this is the place where you reclaim your identity, where your children feel safe and settled, and where you wake up each morning feeling grounded instead of reminded of what you left behind.
Every project at Petite Design Studio starts with listening — to where you are, what you need, and who you’re becoming. Then we create a home that supports all of it: calm enough to exhale in, comfortable enough to live in, and beautiful enough to feel proud of.
Empathy First
We understand the emotional weight of this transition — because we’ve been there too.
Clarity over overwhelm
We simplify every decision so you can move forward with confidence, not fatigue.
Thoughtful design
Every piece — from layout to furniture — is intentional and built around your life now.
