Purple Bike Design

Dana has a great eye, and helped me decorate some tricky spaces in my very old Baltimore row home. She gave me lots of choices, and narrowed in on my style quickly. I enjoyed working with her!

Working with Dana and Purple Bike Design was effortless! Her collaborative approach to design, and her ability to define and envision her clients wishes and needs, sets her apart. She is a top designer, but has the uncanny ability to make each client feel most important. Highly recommended!

Dana from Purple Bike is an absolute pleasure to work with. I've greatly enjoyed working together on several of her projects. She brings a creative and thoughtful approach to each environment making it unique to each client . She finds the balance between beauty & function, current without being kitschy, always timeless with just the right amount of fun/unexpected with each interior she touches. A master of colour & finding the right pattern that fits a clients personality, her art background always utilized for flow, form & design. Highly, highly recommend Purple Bike!

I'm not sure exactly where to begin, as Dana and Purple Bike have revamped and renovated my new home almost from scratch. I thought I knew what I liked, and I had an overall vision but absolutely no idea how to accomplish that vision for my "new" 1950s ranch home. The house needed an overhaul from renovating bathrooms, new floors, paint, and structural changes (not to mention I sold my old furniture to essentially start fresh). Dana has managed the project with my contractor from start to finish and everything in between. She has seamlessly incorporated my existing furniture, finishes, pictures and accessories into the new home. She selected furniture and finishes for my main living spaces that have far surpassed my expectations all while being conscious of my budget and time constraints. Her sense of humor and ease are incredibly reassuring to a design novice like myself! I believe I told her that I like farmhouse yet contemporary; rustic yet clean and simple; big and cozy but not overwhelming and all in a budget! Whatever that actually means, Dana has pulled it off with much success. Perhaps the greatest compliment is Dana takes the time to get to know YOU. Her selections are such a thoughtful reflection of my family and me. My happiness and comfort are her priorities, yet she knows just when to stand firm and encourage me to see the entire picture (she's always right). This is the fourth house I've owned in my life, and Dana has made this my first true home. I look forward to more projects with her, and I have recommended her to everyone I know...especially my friends who have delivered many high compliments on my new home!

Dana is super talented, creative, fun and easy to work with. I have not worked with a decorator before and she has helped give my house a much needed refresh. The contractors she has worked with have been reliable and considerate. Have been a great experience.

Hi hired Dana from Purple Bike after a long search for designers when my family and I moved from Atlanta to Greensboro. I had worked with a designer before, so I knew what I was looking for. We were essentially starting from scratch having sold most of our big furniture prior to the move, so it was a large project (nearly the whole house). Dana went beyond my expectations. She was open, creative, smart and we meshed easily. She took my input, our conversations and all the questions from her questionnaire new clients have to fill out and gave us exactly what we were looking for, in initial design concepts and our end result. My style is a blend of several and Dana helped us pick the perfect pieces within our budget. She never pushed for more expensive or for a certain vendor or store. She never overruled if I had my heart set on something, but she always told me what she thought (and she was right pretty much all the time anyway). She turned me on to stores I never knew existed and sourced things for us from all over. Her fees were reasonable, well worth it. I know I drove her nuts, but she was always responsive, sweet and helpful. She pushed me to consider unique parings of things, paint colors, etc. I wouldn't have thought about and the result is a home that is "us." I love my new home, my boys love their new rooms and we get soo many comments from people who visit about how warm and cozy the house is. And the best part is, everything is comfortable, not just pretty. I will be sad when we're all done. I consider her a friend now. Thanks so much, Dana! :)

Dana designed both my dining room and basement space. Both projects, I was at a complete loss on how to design the spaces. Dana knew immediately what to do. She understood what I liked and quickly came up with ideas to fill the spaces. She is a true professional and wonderful to work with! I look forward to my next project with her.

Dana is phenomenal! She just gets our style!! I can't wait to see the finished projects-but so far, I'm in love with her selections!! Our paint colors are just what I envisioned, our bedding is so inviting and cozy, and our bathroom design boards are out of this world beautiful!

Purple bike design speaks to the specifications of the clients needs down to the most minute details. They clearly care about each client and are wonderful to work with. I recommend them in the highest possible fashion as they are like working with a best friend who sees and gets your personal vision! Sadie & Grace Design Annapolis Maryland.

Dana was awesome to work with. Wonderful eye for detail. She staged our house for selling and we sold the house over listing price after 2 days on the market! Couldn't have asked for more. We highly recommend Purple Bike Design.

Dana helped us stage our home for selling. She really took the time to get to know our house and furnishings, and was able to make several on-the-spot recommendations that really improved the flow of the home. In addition, her specific style ideas and Pinterest board were a huge help in perfecting the details. From furniture placement to colors and accents, she provided a comprehensive plan that helped us sell our house in no time!

It is a joy and pleasure working with Purple Bike Design! I have been working with Dana at Purple Bike Design on a redesign of the living area in my home. Dana is amazing to work with! She has listened to all of my likes and dislikes and my budget concerns. She is extremely open to feedback of her ideas and designs, which is not always the case with designers! She wants my living space to be beautiful and wonderful for me and my family! She has offered a variety of options for my budget, of which she is very aware of, again not always the case with designers! Mainly, Dana is just a wonderful person to work with and she is incredibly talented! Her design and art background are fantastic and she has a natural instinct for design and working with people. This has been a really lovely experience working with Purple Bike Design, which I highly recommend!
