DESIGNING VIBRANT & LIVABLE SPACES FOR EVERYDAY LIFE
Meri Maison is a boutique interiors studio designing architectural homes from the inside out. We guide new builds, renovations, full-service interiors, custom furnishings, and virtual design with an architectural eye and a practical understanding of how homes come together. Every project is rooted in thoughtful design, collected detail, and spaces meant to be beautifully lived in.
FROM FRAMING TO FINISHES,
WE SERVE AS YOUR ADVOCATE
In a field often led by builders, contractors, and trades, Meri Maison brings a design-trained eye to the construction process — helping ensure the decisions made in the field support the beauty, function, and feeling of the finished home.
Meet the Founder
ELIZABETH BASSETT
A former Washingtonian and proud Virginian, Elizabeth is the founder of Meri Maison, an architectural interior design studio known for creating timeless homes with a vibrant, youthful sensibility.
Elizabeth’s love of architecture developed through years of designing, building, and renovating homes with her husband. Together they have completed two custom homes from the ground up, along with several significant renovations—experiences that shaped her deep appreciation for thoughtful floor plans, beautiful millwork, and the architectural details that give a home character.
As Elizabeth began sharing the process of building and furnishing their homes, friends and acquaintances increasingly sought her guidance on their own projects. What began as casual design advice soon evolved into full design collaborations.
Today, through Meri Maison, Elizabeth works with clients on new construction, renovations, and custom interiors. Known for her architectural approach to design, her work blends traditional foundations with a fresh, youthful spirit—layering vibrant color, pattern, and texture to create homes that feel refined, welcoming, and full of life.
WAYS WE WORK FOR YOU
OWNER'S REPRESENTATION
Whether building locally or managing a second home from out of town, owners often need a trusted eye on the project — someone who understands how construction and design come together. Meri Maison serves as an on-site advocate, offering owner’s representation in Charleston, SC and the surrounding Lowcountry. Select projects in Washington, DC and Virginia may also be considered by request.
We help keep communication clear, details organized, and the design vision moving forward with care — reducing the risk of costly changes caused by missed details, delayed decisions, or disjointed communication. From cabinetry, millwork, and moldings to lighting, stone, tile, fixtures, finishes, and final installation details, we help ensure the work in the field supports the overall vision.
For clients already working with a designer, we can partner with that team locally. For those who need design guidance, Meri Maison can support both owner’s representation and design direction.
NEW CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATIONS
For clients building a custom home or undertaking a major renovation, Meri Maison serves as a construction-informed design partner from the earliest stages of the project.
We help shape the architectural and interior elements that define a home, beginning with plan review and continuing through kitchen and bath design, custom cabinetry, millwork, lighting, natural stone, fixtures, finishes, and color palettes.
Considering natural light, proportion, material selections, fabrication details, and the way each space will be lived in, we work closely with architects, builders, contractors, and trades to bring clarity and cohesion to the design process.
The result is a home that feels beautifully planned, deeply personal, and carefully considered.
FULL SERVICE INTERIOR DESIGN
For clients furnishing a new home, completing a renovation, or reimagining existing spaces, Meri Maison offers full-service interior design from concept through installation.
Our work includes spatial planning, furniture layouts, custom furniture, upholstery, drapery, decorative lighting, rugs, textiles, art, accessories, procurement, installation, and final styling.
Every furnishing, fabric, finish, and decorative layer is selected with attention to scale, proportion, color, texture, and function — creating interiors that feel connected to the architecture of the home while remaining personal, refined, and beautifully livable.
CONCIERGE DESIGN SERVICE
Our Concierge Design Service provides a complete room design experience delivered virtually for clients who want professional design direction without full-service procurement or installation.
Ideal for living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, children’s rooms, and other individual spaces, this service gives clients a clear, cohesive design plan they can implement at their own pace.
Each project includes guidance on layout, furnishings, textiles, lighting, color, styling, and decorative details, along with curated selections that reflect the Meri Maison point of view. Known for bright, vibrant, layered interiors grounded in strong architectural foundations, our children’s rooms are especially beloved — imaginative, functional spaces designed to grow beautifully with the family.
