About

Chad Dorsey creates refined interiors that balance tailored style with the spirit of modern living. Trained as an architect, his approach to every space is characterized by a fluid relationship to the architecture where proportion, light, and scale are as essential as taste and lifestyle. His aesthetic is best described as “relaxed luxury,” which is defined by a quiet palette, custom furnishings with handcrafted details, meaningful objects, and a true sense of the people who live there.

​

Chad believes furnishings should be impactful without being overwhelming, and rooms should flow and transition seamlessly. Constantly revisiting ideas of luxury, Chad creates experiences that are special and personal—whether it’s a bespoke fixture, dual kitchens for the aspiring chef, a peaceful space for reading, or an intimate music room. Chad’s eponymous studio is based in Dallas with an outpost in Los Angeles and offers a full-range of design services.

Client Testimonials

"Chad was awesome. He addressed all my concerns about my project, helped unstick me from some ideas I was married to, rectified some size and spacing details that weren't quite right, and came up with a cohesive vision for my abode. Oddities about my house that would be expensive to fix he had a practical plan to draw less attention to those and highlight the good. Practical, thoughtful, attentive and creative. I felt his advice was solid and trustworthy. Super happy client. "

"Excellent experience working with Chad! My husband and I recently purchased a 6 bedroom home and urgently needed to finalize design and layout to finish construction. We'd done a lot of research and had many ideas but was unclear how to link them together. During our consultation, Chad provided concrete feedback, websites for us to purchase items, ideas for flooring and wall color, window treatment etc. He was efficient and effective. Money well spent. We will absolutely work with Chad again."

"Wow! I What an incredibly talented person. Within minutes, Chad helped me resolve design concerns that I had been going back and forth on for months. He took my kitchen design from "ok" to "exceptional." That 55min consultation gave me hours of my time back and helped me land on a final design that I finally feel is worth the investment. Thank you Chad!"

"Chad was so incredibly amazing! He gave me so much to think about and presented ideas and detailed resources I would have never contemplated on my own. The rooms of our new home are oddly shaped and flow into one another. Each room, as he proposed it, has a distinct vibe but flows and connects. I picked the perfect designer to help me craft beautiful solutions. I couldn't recommend him more highly! I will definitely reach out to Chad in the future for other projects."

"If you come prepared, you can really get a lot done. I'm building a custom home and I had structural, color, design, and many other questions for Chad. With his architectural background and design expertise, Chad validated my questions/concerns, gave me new ideas and suggestions, as well as some very clear direction on my selections. I have a much better idea of how to move forward with my design. I'll definitely be consulting with Chad again! "
