You walk into a home. A distinguished home. The decor is impeccable. The furnishings reflect a style that holds nothing back. It is a place with purpose.
A place that speaks to you.
It says this is my environment. I have chosen it.
And I have mastered it.

You immediately sense the elegance.

You may ask about the designer. You might inquire about selected pieces — where they came from — how the decisions were made to complement the room.

Or you could just respond with pure satisfaction. Letting the owner know you, too, have a great appreciation for a sense of order. An eye for style.
An embracing of the finer things.

But one thing you dare not do.
You never ask about the cost.

Elegance is not about the price tag. People with distinctive tastes understand that. That's why it is becoming more and more difficult to determine the cost for furnishing even the finest of homes. Showcase homes featured in magazines, for example, can have a range of many thousands of dollars between them. And even the critics can't guess which one was actually the most expensive to furnish.

That's what Hartwell Design is all about.

You'll have the same items that cost two to six times more elsewhere. Over the years as we have been furnishing homes of distinction, we noticed something. Even the wealthiest homeowners seek us out because, quite frankly, they're smart with their money.

It's elegance without the extravagance.
