Your fresh start begins at home

Design for your next chapter. Serving Denver, Boulder, and beyond.

Setting up a new home is harder than anyone admits.

You’re already navigating legal decisions, parenting transitions, and a million "what now?" moments. Somewhere in the middle, you’re supposed to furnish a whole new life—often without a plan, on a timeline you didn't choose, and with decisions that feel heavier than they should.

Most people push through alone and end up with a space that feels like a waiting room rather than a home. It doesn’t have to stay that way. At Petite Design Studio, I believe your fresh start should feel intentional, not improvised.

Professional expertise. Real lived experience. I’m an interior designer based in Metro Denver, and I’m also divorced. After my own marriage ended, I redesigned my home and discovered just how much a space can serve as a touchstone during one of life’s hardest transitions.

Today, I bring professional design expertise and lived experience together to help you create a home that feels calm, beautiful, and unmistakably yours—without carrying the burden of the “how” alone.

  • "After my divorce, my kids kept to their rooms. That all changed once Petite Design Studio redesigned the space. They're hanging out in the main living areas now in a way they never did before — relaxed, comfortable, at home. As a single dad, that means everything."

    —Dave, Littleton, CO

  • "I went in just wanting to get it done. What I got was something I didn't expect — a home that actually feels like me. For the first time since my divorce, I walk through the door and I feel like I belong there."

    —Charles, Denver, CO

Imagine walking into a home that finally feels like yours.

A space that works for you and for the life you’re building now. Your kids feel at home when they visit. You wake up each morning feeling grounded and ready — not reminded of what you left behind. And when you have friends (or even a date) over, you’ll feel proud of the space you’ve created.

Or you could keep putting it off.

Living with mismatched furniture from two different lives. Making expensive decisions in a rush. Walking into a space that still doesn’t feel like home months or even years after you’ve moved in.

Divorce is hard enough. Your home shouldn’t make it harder.

Ready to stop putting your new home on hold?
