Zoller Designs
Interior design and retail store returns to Cherry Street
What started with just a few design classes has turned into a thriving business for interior designer Debbie Zoller. Now in her 26th year the ASID affiliated designer is as passionate about the design process as the day she took her first class. “Our clients make us passionate about the industry,” Zoller says. The designer’s favorite part of being in the business is the range of differences she experiences with each project. “No two clients are alike, so neither should their interiors be the same,” she says. For Zoller and her team, customization is key. Each project, large or small, is approached with an open mind and creative eye. Her design team’s goal is to reflect the unique style, taste and personality of each client. “Versatility is what sets Zoller Designs apart from other firms,” she says. “There are always new challenges and different things to do for our clients to keep each one unique.”
Aside from a customized interior, the designer also is there to save her clients money by helping them make the right choices. “Our biggest service that we can offer is keeping clients from making costly mistakes,” she says. This summer Zoller Designs will relocate to Cherry Street Zoller Designs offering an expanded showroom 1343 E. 15th St. and many new product lines. 918-583-1966
