The HDD approach to design: Listen, Learn, Live

—{ listen }—

That simple skill is the secret to the revolutionary approach Hart-Davidson Designs brings to interior design. Based in Holt, Michigan, HDD works with clients in the Midwest and on the East Coast to balance function and fashion and create great living spaces. Leslie Hart-Davidson (Allied Member, ASID) ensures that each client gets a custom solution to their design challenges, whatever they may be. A full service design firm, HDD assists clients with large and small scale projects - from selecting paint colors and finishes, to designing and building custom window treatments, to planning a remodel or new home construction project.

Working with a designer doesn't have to be an intimidating experience. The HDD client-relationship philosophy is that design is a democracy, not a dictatorship. As a home-owner, you deserve a trained professional that is willing to work with your individual tastes, needs, and goals. During and after your consultation, you should feel comfortable, informed, and energized-ready to take action with your space.

Our initial consultation will be a working session, not a sales pitch. This first meeting generally takes about an hour-we'll meet in your home (or the site of your future home), address your questions and discuss initial design ideas that you can move forward with right away.

After discussing how you currently use your space, how you envision it working in the future, what you do and don't like about it, your wildest dreams and your toughest budget issues, we'll come up with a custom plan to transform your space into a livable, functional, beautiful space that you'll be excited to show off.

For large-scale projects or specialty items, HDD will do all the legwork for you. We have a cadre of hand-picked industry professionals that we partner with. They are the best craftspeople in their fields and our long-standing relationships give us negotiating power. We'll attend to all the details and create a full proposal for you, while you live your life.

Rip it Out

Years ago, a very dear friend of mine named Vic gave me an awesome coffee table book for Christmas. The book was full of large painted images from walls advertising businesses, services and general graffiti in Mexico. I was immediately attracted to the bright, fun colors and diverse images in the book–everything from food vendors to social commentary to hardware stores were represented.

Through the years, I would occasionally flip through the book and remember my friend who passed away shortly after giving me the gift. One day when I was searching for interesting wall decor in my usual haunts, I…
