The Studio is a sanctuary where shoppers satisfy their urge for instant gratification or re-imagine their own living space. All showroom pieces are priced for purchase. Or explore our extensive library of furniture, fabric, wall covering, lighting, bedding and flooring. Already working with an interior designer? Our sources are available to the trade. All are welcome to book appointments: to search our library, reserve our presentation room, or source our product lines, often at less than trade pricing.
For over 30 years, Design Associates, Interior Design Consultants, has designed residential and commercial projects as well as showrooms for the residential furniture industry. Our portfolio of work includes corporate offices, banks, medical offices, custom luxury homes, remodeling projects and showrooms. Each design project begins with the dreams and aspirations of the client. Using our professional knowledge and creative vision, in a collaborative dialogue with the client, we develop a dynamic design concept.
On the right before the drawbridge to Wrightsville Beach, The Studio's Bermuda faade adds Old World Caribbean architectural charm to the landscape. The cool stucco exterior, perforated with floor-to-ceiling doors and windows, invites shoppers and designers into the showroom. Staged to resemble blended urban contemporary living and dining areas, our interior design aesthetic is articulated in comfortable upholstered furnishings, arranged on area rugs over acid-washed concrete floors, sited for the appreciation of original paintings selected from an elite group of local artists represented by New Elements Gallery in Wilmington, North Carolina.
