For people who care about character, craftsmanship, and living well in them.

Welcome
Christienne Dobson Design is an interior design studio rooted in the belief that homes should feel deeply personal, quietly beautiful, and built for real life. Based in the Catskills and working with clients near and far, we specialize in thoughtful renovations and interior design for homes with history and character-rich spaces.
Our work is guided by a respect for history, craftsmanship, and the rhythms of daily living. Whether restoring lost architectural charm or reimagining layouts for modern life, every project is approached with care, clarity, and intention.
The Heart of Our Work
Every space carries a story. Our role is to honor the history that came before while shaping environments that support how people live and gather today.
We design for people who choose homes because of their history, not in spite of it.
With care, clarity, and intention, we create spaces that feel timeless, lived-in, and deeply personal.
Thoughtful renovations for homes with history
Rooted in a love of old houses we design spaces that feel elevated and deeply livable, balancing historic character with modern function. From early planning through furnishings and final installation, our work supports how you live day to day while honoring what makes your home unique.
A clear, collaborative design process from concept to completion
Our process is structured yet flexible, guiding each project from initial consultation through design development and final installation. We collaborate closely with clients, architects, and trades, acting as a bridge between vision and execution so every detail is considered and thoughtfully realized.
Hello, I’m Christienne
Founder and principal designer of Christienne Dobson Design.
Based in the Catskills and working with clients near and far, I focus on thoughtful renovations and interiors for homes with history and spaces full of character. My work is shaped by a background in architecture and over 15 years of experience across residential, retail, and boutique healthcare design.
That experience informs how I approach every project, balancing creativity with technical understanding and guiding each step with clarity and intention. I often act as a bridge between clients, architects, and trades, ensuring that ideas are not only well designed, but well executed.
The result is a home that feels considered, livable, and deeply personal.
