Design that wows. Furnishings that work.

At Design Mettle, we're vacation-obsessed—and we know you are too!

We take your rental from “it’s fine” to “how soon can we come back?” With smart design and full-service furnishing, we turn forgettable spaces into Guest Favorites that drive five-star reviews and fully booked calendars.

All guest-ready and budget-smart.

What Our Clients Say

  • Modern living room with brown sofa, black armchair, white coffee table, and a mountain of pillows.

    Evelyn M.

    Lisa worked on several of my rental properties, both fully furnished long term and short term. She went far and beyond my expectations. She managed within my budget with good taste in decoration and furniture matching. She was professional and very easy to work with. My tenants and guests love my place. I will continue to work with her for the next project for sure.

  • Living room with a yellow sofa with throw pillows, round mirror on the wall, lamp, wooden coffee table with a white vase and green plant, and a dining area with a table, chair, and colorful abstract art.

    Stephanie

    Lisa was so incredibly helpful as we refreshed the furniture and art in our home. She worked closely with us to understand what we were looking for and was so helpful with the sourcing of the items. She made our lives so much easier through the process and we wouldn’t have been able to do it without her! We would definitely hire her again.

  • Living room with wooden sideboard, two lamps, a potted orchid, and a framed photo on the sideboard.

    Nancy H.

    She is a skilled interior designer who takes the time to know her clients, in order to create a functional space that reflects one’s unique style and personality. Lisa helped bring our vision to life and the customer experience we had was superb!

  • Modern kitchen with dark wood cabinets, white countertops, built-in refrigerator, kitchen island with black bowl and bar stools, and hardwood flooring.

    Tammara

    Lisa provided excellent service and was instrumental in helping us to progress our major project of a full rehab (pretty much rebuild) of our house. She was very professional, super flexible and delivered quality design via floor plans that were ultimately used to secure permit approval. Highly recommend her for design services.

  • A dining area with a green velvet banquette, a wooden table, and two chairs. Two abstract paintings hang on the white wall, and a black pendant light with two bulbs is above. A vase with flowers is on the table.

    Sandy P.

    Lisa is such a gift! I have a very small condo that looked as old as it was. A friend recommended I call Lisa as It needed a facelift and I felt clueless as to how to even begin. I know what I like when I see it BUT I have never been able to create the vision in advance. Thankfully, Lisa is an amazing 'idea' person! She presented options that were creative, fresh, affordable and beautiful. I love my home and I so value the work Lisa did to make it so perfect!

  • Modern kitchen with white cabinetry, a large island with a light blue base, and a wooden dining table with four white and gray chairs. Decor includes potted plants and pink flowers.

    Melissa

    I would highly recommend Lisa to help you design your kitchen. She is friendly, efficient, and I think the thing I like best is that she really listens and seems to care about helping you create a beautiful functional design within your budget. She actually gave me 3 different designs to choose from and I asked her to work in a piece of furniture that I own to the overall design and she was able to do that and make it all fit together seamlessly. I was very happy she responded to my request on Houzz.
