"Design should feel inevitable—like it was always meant to be this way."
Chic On The Cheap is a Sarasota-based interior design studio specializing in full-scale residential interiors—renovations, new builds, and established homes—where hundreds of decisions resolve into a space that feels unmistakably yours. Our role is to see what’s connected, resolve what’s competing, and bring spaces to completion until they feel curated and quietly finished. The result is a home that holds up from every angle, including the ones you never thought to question.
Our projects are built on full transparency from the outset. Clients pay for our time, ideas, and execution, while all products are purchased directly, at cost. There are no markups and no competing interests behind the scenes. You see the numbers, meet the partners involved, and understand where each decision lands. This clarity keeps the work honest and focused, allowing every choice to serve the space itself.
These projects weren’t designed to announce themselves. They were developed for long-term use, continuity, and the realities of living in the space. Each home reflects a clear understanding of the client’s priorities and future needs, resolved into interiors that function as a whole over time.
You work with one designer throughout, someone who listens carefully, asks the right questions, and knows when an idea needs further consideration. They remain closely involved from early conversations through final details, keeping decisions aligned and the relationship direct.
Our work begins with listening, and ends with spaces that feel unmistakably yours. Because when design works beautifully, you don’t have to say a word.
