“Keen to fill an untapped market for contemporary, creative design, Christopher Patrick is set to become the city's next design star.”
Inside the home of Nicole Jones and Andy Brown of Andy's Pizza — a dining room meant to feel like a night out at a restaurant, and vintage screen-printed lemon wallpaper: an homage to the lemonade.
The home of Nicole Jones and Andy Brown of Andy's Pizza — reading nooks throughout, a dining room meant to feel like a night out, and vintage screen-printed lemon wallpaper: an homage to the lemonade.
A light-filled Cleveland Park home: a stone-wrapped island with leather stools under a black pendant, an artichoke lamp over the oak dining table, and tulip tables with leather poufs in the quiet corners.
A classic white kitchen with a Blue Lagoon island, walnut butcher block — and a built-in nook for Gunther the dachshund.
A moody, tailored retreat: lacquered walls, tobacco leather, warm brass, and a collected gallery of found objects.
Fearless red ikat wallpaper grounded by a walnut vanity and marble mosaic — proof that small rooms can carry big ideas.
A lake-house escape layered in olive, camel, and slate — plaids, damask, and unfussy rooms built for long weekends.
A full before-and-after feature on the firm's Washington, DC kitchen — classic white, Blue Lagoon, and a dog nook that stole the story.
The Scarlet Bath featured in a red-interiors editorial: “a great pattern in a rich shade of red to bring character to a small space.”
Driven by a belief that the design process should always be fun and engaging, Christopher founded his namesake interior design firm in 2011. With a passion for design, fashion, travel and the hunt for the perfect item, he brings a unique mix of style and management to each project he undertakes.
Based in Washington, DC — where tradition is revered — the studio respects the old and incorporates the new, interpreting traditional design principles in new ways with an eye for understated sophistication.
“I am constantly amazed by the level of detail and quality that he brings to each of his projects.”
“Impressed with not only the designs, but also the collaborative approach and customer service.”
Sixteen years of experience and deep connections with experts in their trade — masters who can reupholster the heirloom piece, build the intricate archway, and apply the artist-driven finishes that builder-grade just can't achieve. As light-touch or as full-service as you need.
What we're known for: making what you already love feel new. Accent pieces, clever modifications, the heirloom reupholstered — a fresh look without a renovation.
Your home, dressed for the moment — spring tables to full-blown Christmas. Because the “you” of December isn't the “you” of June.
A dining room, a nursery, the study you've been picturing for years. Start with one room and our full attention — we love nothing more than bringing your vision to life.
One point of contact from the first walkthrough to the last pillow. We run the trades, the timelines, and the thousand small decisions — you keep living your life.
Intentional by design — with your home, and with your budget.
There's a beautiful answer at every budget — the discipline of designing well doesn't change with the number. We're deliberate about where to splurge and where to save, what to keep and what to let go, and honest about which projects are worth doing now and which are worth waiting for. Sometimes the smartest move is designing today, so the plan is ready the moment you're ready to reinvest in your home.
We thoughtfully decorate and curate pieces to make your home ready for the holidays — and we love to decorate a Christmas tree. Whether it's your grandmother's favorite holiday pieces or something new and exciting to add personality alongside your heirlooms, we're here to bring your holiday visions to life.

Dear Christopher Patrick,
My living room is ready for a point of view. Right now it feels builder-grade — I want it to feel collected, yet calm. I live in Washington, DC with a very good dog, and I suspect we’d get along.
— Yours,
