Spruce & Tailor was founded on the core belief that successful designs are highly personal and are a result of a collaborative process.
From the very beginning, we want to know you, but you also need to get to know us. An initial conversation is free and a great way to get a feel for one another. It’s important that you work with someone you connect with. The process can take months, even years to complete and that time is much more enjoyable if we like each other! Our goal is to provide a positive working environment where you can experience the excitement, humor, and satisfaction of the interior design process.
