Elizabeth Starrs

Elizabeth Starrs

Principal

Elizabeth holds a Bachelor of Science as well as an Interior Design degree. She lived in Europe for many years and traveled extensively, which has had a profound influence on her design approach. Upon returning to the United States in 2002, Elizabeth worked for an interior designer in Springfield, Virginia before starting her own firm in 2004. Her core tenet is to never impart her design style on anyone but rather, to help clients define and refine their styles so that the finished product is truly a reflection of their tastes and preferences. With a comprehensive library of fabric, furniture, accessory and flooring vendors, an eye for quality workmanship, and the ability to find the best value, Elizabeth can help make design dreams a reality. Her artistic sensibility, in combination with the client’s needs and requests, creates timeless designs for the home that are comfortable, welcoming, and most importantly, a reflection of the people who live there.
