Chapman Design

Cathy Chapman founded Chapman Design in 1985 in Houston, Texas. Since then it has grown to a firm of ten with two senior designers and two junior designers. Cathy holds a BA in Art History from Vanderbilt University and also studied at the New York School of Interior Design. Chapman Design's style emphasizes comfort and "livability" while reflecting each client's individual personality. Cathy's design philosophy incorporates the effective use of light, space, and color to create a simple, elegant and inviting home. A mixture of new and old elements is a common thread throughout. Chapman Design is also known for its attention to detail as well as sensitivity to schedule and budget. Commitment to excellence has led to consistent growth almost exclusively via word-of mouth. Chapman Design has decorated residences ranging from Texas homes to Manhattan apartments, from a beach house on Fire Island to a mountain cabin in Wyoming.
