People, Not Projects
We’re Chic On The Cheap, an interior design firm in Sarasota, Florida that focuses on people, and not just projects. We’re a group of talented (and fun!) interior designers that value our relationships with homeowners, contractors, and vendors. You’ll find that we’re intentionally different — and that we thrive on our thoughtful approach to the design and remodeling process.
While many design firms charge a mark-up on goods and services, we do not. We believe that your money should go into your home, not into our pockets. Our smart strategies drive the decision-making process: we carefully consider each design selection with a goal of giving you a sophisticated and well-planned design, tailored to you and your needs.
Honest + Transparent
We don’t believe in mark-ups. We believe in trust.
Chic On The Cheap was built on a different model—one that respects your investment, values transparency, and focuses entirely on the design process. We don’t profit from the pieces that fill your home. Our value comes from how well we pull it all together.
If that surprises you, watch the video. It might clarify whether we’re the right fit. And if we are—what we create together will be more than just beautiful. It’ll be intentional.

Distinct by Design
Jill and Courtney took on two separate projects in the same condo building—each starting with an identical layout, each ending with a completely distinct result. This candid conversation explores how client vision, not designer ego, drives every choice and transforms a space. Watch as their contrasting approaches highlight just how personal great design can be.
COASTAL & CONTEMPORARY
An 80s beachfront condo gets reimagined as a calm coastal retreat—every room reconfigured for light, storage, and easy flow. The result: layered textures, crisp lines, and a space that feels effortless, inviting, and distinctly modern.
MODERN MOOD, COASTAL VIEW
A light update turned into a full rethink of how this Siesta Key condo should live—clarity driving every choice, from a reworked kitchen and layout to sculptural furnishings and tailored millwork. The result: bold blue anchors, immersive tilework, and restful spaces. Intentional, nothing wasted.
