A studio approach for families who want interiors as considered as their architecture.
Great interiors are earned. They start with a program — how the family lives, entertains, and recovers — and end in a series of rooms that feel unforced. Emerald & Oak Design is a trusted local studio for whole-home furnishing, kitchen and lighting design, and styling — typically executed alongside Peters Custom Homes during construction or renovation, so cabinetry, stone, millwork, and lighting are engineered against the design from day one rather than applied on top of it.
Practice areas
A complete design & furnishing service.
Whole-home furnishing
A single, coherent vision — from the front door through every bedroom, executed on a schedule and against a budget.
Kitchen design
Cabinet program, stone selection, hardware, and the working plan for how the kitchen actually cooks and hosts.
Bathroom design
Primary and secondary baths designed around stone, light, and long-term durability — with a livable finish level.
Lighting design
Layered lighting plans with dimming scenes, decorative fixtures, and integration with the home's control system.
Window treatments
Custom drapery, roman shades, and motorized programs — tailored to the architecture rather than to a catalog.
Furniture & upholstery
Bench-made upholstery, curated antique and vintage pieces, and a mix that avoids the just-decorated look.
Closets & wardrobe
Full walk-in wardrobe design — millwork, lighting, drawer inserts, and integrated storage systems.
Home offices & libraries
Executive offices and libraries designed as private rooms, not shared spaces — with acoustic treatment and lighting scenes.
Seasonal & holiday styling
Ongoing seasonal styling, holiday design, and pre-event refresh for entertaining.
A design philosophy of restraint and warmth.
The interiors that read best over time in Providence Downs share a common discipline: fewer, better pieces. Materials that age well — natural stone, oak, linen, wool, leather. Colors that fold into the architecture rather than compete with it. Antique or vintage anchors that give the room a memory. Lighting layered generously enough that the room is beautiful at nine at night, not just at eleven in the morning.
The design process integrates naturally with Peters Custom Homes during construction and renovation, and with Peters Audio Video during integration — so that lighting, shades, and audio are engineered against the design, not applied on top of it.
