Warm, thoughtful design made for real life.

MacDiarmid Design offers curated, one-on-one services for clients who want a home that feels beautifully lived in, intentional, and personal — without the overwhelm of a full renovation or large design firm.

I take a limited number of clients each season so each project receives my full attention, care, and thoughtful creativity.
