Hello, I’m Sandy Murphy founder and lead interior designer of Classic Design, based in Millville, Delaware. Here is an in-depth look at my background and services:
“With over 20 years of curating space for clients, I am one of the most experienced designers in Delaware and here’s why that matters to you:”
1. You’ll receive faster design solutions because with experience comes wisdom.
2. My creative solutions are executable, buildable and functional because I’ve got this!
3. With someone “in the know” you’ll avoid costly mistakes, and who wants those?
If you hired someone like a rookie designer, you’ll have fun but the results will be vastly different. Design takes time, lots of detail, patience and experience to ensure attention to detail in all phases of your project. I spend time focused on your project, not on my cell phone. The design process is completed to your satisfaction and we’ll have fun working together!
I’ve done window display, staged homes from a single wide trailer to mansions and everything in between. Walt Disney World even spoke to me about doing their window displays.
I’m a former teacher with a BA from William Paterson University and studied interior design at the New School for Social Research (Parson’s in NYC). I like blending educational insights with design expertise.
As a professional member of the Interior Design Society and past president of IDS in New England, I keep current with interior design. Prior to owning Classic Design I honed design skills at Ethan Allen Inc., and Cabot House Furniture in Massachusetts receiving awards for excellence. What does this mean for you? I listen well to your taste, wishlist and preferences then craft the perfect space for your lifestyle.
It’s important to know who I am, what I’ve studied and how with confidence, you’ll work with a seasoned designer who wants the best for you and your family.
