OUR Services
Crafted with care, inspired by the coast.
Creating a home should feel considered from the very first decision to the final layer. Our interior design and home furnishing services bring together generations of furniture expertise with a refined, highly personalized approach to design.
From finding the right piece and developing a full-home furniture plan to new construction, large-scale renovations, and full-service interior design, our showroom and design studio offer distinct levels of expertise tailored to the scope of your project. This unique connection between furniture and interior design allows us to see the home as a whole—bringing architecture, materials, furnishings, and finishing details together with intention.
Serving coastal Delaware and Maryland, we create homes that feel cohesive, collected, and effortless—beautifully designed for the way you live today and for years to come.
New Construction + Renovations
Building or renovating a home involves hundreds of decisions. Our new construction and renovation interior design services bring clarity, cohesion, and an experienced design perspective to every stage of the process.
Working alongside homeowners, architects, builders, and trades, our design team helps shape the home from the inside out—from interior layouts and architectural details to cabinetry, lighting, plumbing, tile, flooring, finishes, and custom selections. Every decision is considered as part of the larger vision, creating a home that feels intentional and connected from room to room.
Our approach is both creative and highly collaborative. We balance beauty with function, helping clients navigate complex decisions, anticipate details, and maintain a clear design direction throughout construction. The result is a home that feels refined yet relaxed, thoughtfully layered, and deeply connected to the way you live.
Specializing in new construction and large-scale home renovations throughout coastal Delaware and beyond, we create timeless interiors influenced by natural materials, texture, light, and the surrounding landscape—homes designed to feel just as beautiful years from now as they do on move-in day.
Full-Home Furnishings
Building or renovating a home and already have the construction details covered? Our full-home furnishing service is designed to take your home from finished construction to fully furnished—without the need for full-service interior design during the building process.
Working from your architectural plans and the finishes already selected, our designers develop a complete furnishing plan that considers how each room relates to the next. From furniture layouts and custom upholstery to rugs, lighting, art, window treatments, and finishing details, every selection is made with the whole home in mind.
With generations of furniture expertise and access to an extensive network of trusted furniture makers and vendors, we bring a depth of product knowledge that goes well beyond sourcing beautiful pieces. We consider scale, comfort, durability, lead times, and how the home will actually be lived in—particularly for new homes, second homes, and coastal residences throughout Delaware and the Maryland.
Our team manages the process from furniture planning and sourcing through ordering, warehousing, delivery, installation, and final styling, so when your home is ready, it feels complete from the moment you walk through the door
FURNISHING + STYLING
Rooted in generations of furniture expertise and guided by a refined design perspective, our full-home furnishing and styling services go far beyond simply selecting pieces. We create layered, cohesive interiors where furniture, lighting, rugs, art, and accessories work together to make a home feel considered, comfortable, and complete.
From a single room to an entire residence, our designers thoughtfully balance scale, texture, material, and function to create spaces that feel elevated without feeling overly designed. Our approach is especially suited to coastal homes, second homes, and luxury residences throughout Delaware and Maryland, where relaxed living and thoughtful design should go hand in hand.
What sets our furnishing services apart is our ability to pair professional interior design expertise with direct access to a curated furniture showroom. Clients can experience fabrics, finishes, materials, and furnishings firsthand while benefiting from a designer-led process tailored specifically to their home.
From furniture selection and space planning to sourcing, receiving, delivery, installation, and final styling, our team manages the details from beginning to end—creating a finished home that feels collected, personal, and effortless.
SHOP DESIGN
For clients who have the foundation of their home in place but need an expert eye to bring the finishing layers together, C&E Furniture + Design offers personalized in-person design consultations at our Fenwick Island furniture showroom.
These dedicated sessions with one of our in-house designers are ideal for refining a single room, selecting furniture and décor, or creating a more cohesive look throughout an existing space. With a curated collection of upholstery, case goods, lighting, rugs, art, and accessories at your fingertips, we help you make thoughtful selections that feel collected, balanced, and uniquely yours.
What makes our shop design consultations different is the experience itself. Rather than designing from a screen alone, you can see, touch, and experience many of the furnishings, fabrics, finishes, and décor we recommend firsthand. It’s a more personal and tactile approach to interior design—bringing together C&E’s signature coastal and elevated aesthetic with pieces you can feel confident bringing home.
Many first-time interior design clients are curious about what to expect during the process, and this is your chance to educate and inform. We'll begin by sharing the first stages of the project, how you'll get to the know your client and the scope of work, and where you'll draw inspiration as the design phase begins.
Phase One
Next, we'll offer an overview of the design phase including what will be included in design presentations, how you'll handle revisions, and when contracts need to be signed. We may or may not need include deposit information here as your client will receive those details in the investment guide.
Phase Two
Phase Three
The construction phase is an exciting, but potentially fraught, time for design clients. This section offers peace of mind by sharing how you'll engage with tradespeople and other professionals during construction, how you'll solve any problems that arise, and how all of those details will be communicated to your clients.
Finally, we'll instill a sense of excitement for your viewers and encourage them to envision the end phase of their own project. We will provide details about your installation process, including elements they may not have imagined, such as photography or close-out materials.
