Home…
It means many things: where you live…whom you live with. It’s an expression of your identity, what you value, and what you love. And it’s a significant investment. Your home’s look, feel, and functionality should be a source of comfort, not frustration.
And if you own a business, where you work means more than just spaces which function
efficiently. Business and commercial design is about how you understand your clients, and what you want them to understand about you. It should be professional yet inviting, reflecting your tastes and personality while meeting the specific needs of your clients/customers.

“Terry Barker provides expert service with a superior sense of style. She provides the vision for the design while empowering her clients to make decisions they will embrace. We loved working with her and unequivocally endorse her work.“
“Terry Barker took my dream and turned my bathroom remodel into reality. When Terry combines your dream, her design vision, and her expert knowledge of how to put a project together it is an awesome success. I particularly liked that she kept economical values a vital part of guiding me through my choices. I will and I have recommended her to anyone looking for complete professional guidance for any area in your home to be remodeled.”
“I have known Terry for over 20 years. She has designed 5 houses for me. I trust her so much that I hired her to assist with my remodel while she was living in Colorado and I was in Austin. She never saw my house in person until the remodel was complete (thanks to technology). Terry did an excellent job and I couldn’t be happier!!! My house is beautiful and I wouldn’t change a thing.”
“We found Terry to be the most helpful person in our entire kitchen remodel process. Terry is professional, warm, friendly, and very good at helping clients determine what their own passions are in terms of design. We were naive in the entire process and she helped us every step of the way. She was extremely reliable, very fair with her prices and always returned calls in a timely fashion. One of the most intimidating things for us was picking out kitchen granite. Terry went with us to the granite store, and while not influencing our decision, she was able to reflect and organize our thoughts and choices. She will give as little or much input as you desire-depending on how comfortable you are with your ability. Also, in terms of staying on budget, Here is an example: When evaluating our remodel space, Terry was also drawn to the adjacent room (dining room) and had some suggestions about changing lighting and tile in that room. However, we only had a “kitchen remodel” in our budget, so she did not push the idea when we were firm that we couldn’t do that currently. You will find her flexible and easy to work with. She is an excellent communicator. We are still consulting with her on a project, even though her part of it was done.”
