We’re amateur and adventurous chefs who love to cook and entertain lots of guests. The kitchen turned out perfectly and we absolutely LOVE it. Jonathan clearly checked all the boxes.

We’re here to help you tap into the very best version of your personal style. We take the time to understand your vision, priorities, and lifestyle, then craft a one-of-a-kind space you’ll love for years to come.
Our interior designers use advanced tools like Chief Architect to develop detailed 3D renderings before a single material is ordered. This way, we can easily make any tweaks and make sure your project plan is perfect.
Our approach is hands-on, high-touch, and low stress. Whether designing a luxury kitchen, a boutique hotel lobby, or a serene primary suite, we’ll guide your project to completion without upending your schedule.
Widely recognized for design excellence—including a Gold distinction at the 2024 Bath Design Awards—we’re known not only for elevated interiors, but for the thoughtful, end-to-end experience we deliver.
In addition to our team’s decades of design expertise, founder Jonathan Gordon brings a rare wealth of training, with a Professional Commercial Certificate in Interior Design from Fairfield University, a Bachelor’s in Applied Science and Technology from The George Washington University, and a Certificate in Universal Design and Aging in Place from Harvard University.

Our design process for Darien, CT homes is detailed and thorough, but also very tailored depending on what our clients need. Generally, we’ll start with an exploratory phone call where we explain the intricacies of the design process (ask as many questions as you like!), as well as what to expect moving forward. After that call, we set up either an in-person or remote consultation. Following this meeting, we begin work on the design.
We always ask that our clients assemble photos and images of spaces that they love, but we also ask them to identify what they love and why in each picture. Based on this information, we are able to understand your aesthetic on a fundamental level. We also spend a good amount of time asking leading questions and carefully assessing your replies. We listen carefully, and that helps us truly pinpoint your personal aesthetic.
As early as possible! Whether you’re designing a single room or building a new home from scratch, having a professional who understands your personal wants, needs, and tastes that can guide the project from day one is vital to making sure that the project is a success. And, the more time we have to work with you, the better the results tend to be.
The bathroom is a dream space and came out even better than we envisioned… to say that we are obsessed with it is a true understatement. We recommend Design by the Jonathans with the utmost confidence.
