Every home is a reflection of the people who live in it.
The Extra-Mile Approach
At The Design Effect, CC Gilmore started her extra-mile approach, where she and The Design Effect family, travel to six markets each year, sourcing high-quality, one-of-a-kind pieces and staying ahead of what's next in design. CC and the designers partner closely with clients to create spaces that are not only beautiful, but also thoughtfully designed to support the way people live, create, and gather.
Every Home Tells a Story
the design effect
The Design Effect designs spaces that are relaxed, layered, and refined—beautiful to look at, effortless to live in. Grounded in the symbol of the olive branch, the work blends harmony, balance, and timeless elegance.
The Olive Branch
The Design Effect’s olive branch symbolizes harmony, balance, and peace. The same qualities found in the spaces our designers bring to life. Rooted in Mediterranean tradition, the olive branch represents timeless beauty and inner calm. In that spirit, each space is layered and effortless, refined yet livable, and always true to the people who call it home.
“It is my pleasure to offer a review for CC, the founder and designer extraordinaire of Texture! She and I worked on my home in Sedona for a complete top-to-bottom renovation. It was a huge project made relatively easy because of CC's experience, knowledge, talent, and resources. She and I worked well together and, in the end, created what turned out to be a Masterpiece! Aside from the magnificent outcome, CC and I built a friendship that lasts to this day. And, the greatest bonus of it all- we had lots of laughs and fun working together! I would do another project with her in a heartbeat.”
