Van Duerm Design Associates About Us Van Duerm Design Associates is a unique residential design firm where heart and soul lives and vision finds its place. We have catered to each client's dreams for over 28 years, collaborating with the finest artisans in woodworking, custom drapery and bedding fabrication, custom upholstery, refinishing and sourcing. Working with visionary architects, superb builders, landscape designers, lighting professionals, artists and art consultants have always been a part of our core relationships. I've worked with teams in new construction from the ground up to simply enhancing your lifestyle integrating old and new room by room. Rich in color and texture with clean lines, soft edges and the gracious play of light is my signature style. Approachability is key to creating a welcome refuge and we do it for any lifestyle. This is your home, your life...nothing imagined is off limits. Of late, life transitions focussed on downsizing and editing are approached with sensitivity, empathy and creating a positive life flow. We celebrate the individual. I pride myself in forging long term relationships! In addition to the San Francisco Bay Area (Napa/Sonoma to Pebble Beach and everywhere in between), I am fortunate to have worked with my clients on projects in Seattle, Scottsdale, Park City, Lake Tahoe, Chicago, Elk Creek, New York City, Williamsburg and London. We've celebrated weddings together as families have grown up before my eyes and we have truly impacted each others lives.
