Choosing an interior designer means finding someone who can translate your everyday life into a space that feels like home. Our process is collaborative from the start. We take time to understand how you live, what inspires you, and how you want your Mystic, CT home to feel.
In Phase One, we immerse ourselves in your world. We observe, ask questions, and listen closely. The goal is to get specific: What does “modern” mean to you? Does a tidy space energize or relax you? We’ll even talk about your ideal morning routine. These small details help us shape a design that feels intuitive and entirely personal.
Phase Two brings that vision to life with immersive 3D renderings. You’ll be able to see and interact with your future space before any construction begins. It’s a practical way to explore ideas, adjust in real-time, and move forward with clarity. There’s less guesswork, more confidence.
Once the design is finalized, we manage the logistics. We document the plan, coordinate with contractors and artisans, and keep a close eye on execution so you don’t have to. You’ll always know what’s happening and why.
Every project is shaped by your style, your needs, and your daily rhythm. Our role is to guide, interpret, and deliver something that’s livable and entirely yours.
With studios in New Haven, Darien, and Framingham, we work with clients across New England. If you’re looking for an experienced interior designer in Mystic, CT—someone who can blend coastal charm with thoughtful design—you’re in the right place.
Jonathan Gordon started Design by the Jonathans in 2014 with a simple setup and a clear goal: create original work without relying on formulas. Since then, we’ve become an award-winning studio known for design that adapts to each client, not the other way around.
Every project starts with a conversation and evolves through detailed planning, collaborative tools like 3D renderings, and hands-on management. We design homes that feel natural to live in, with a process built for busy people.
Ready to start creating your seaside escape? Let’s connect.
We start with a deep dive into your lifestyle and preferences, then move to detailed 3D renderings so you can see the design before anything is built. From there, we manage everything—sourcing, scheduling, and overseeing construction—to deliver a space that feels natural and refined.
We ask for images and examples of spaces you love, plus why they speak to you. We listen carefully and ask targeted questions to understand your tastes and daily needs. The goal is to create a space that fits how you live while being a treat for the eyes.
We take inspiration from Mystic’s maritime heritage and New England charm, blending classic coastal elements with modern comfort. Our designs consider local weather patterns, using durable materials and layouts that handle humidity, salt air, and seasonal changes while keeping your home inviting year-round.
Fees vary depending on the project. Many clients work with a flat fee based on the space and scope, while others choose hourly billing. We tailor the approach to fit your project and budget.
A real talent for finding just the right colors and fabrics. Best of all, our home still feels like our home—just better.
