Residential, Commercial & Hospitality Interior Design Services
Three talented interior designers, Paul Giannella, Brad Paige and Marcos Dos-Santos have been creating beautiful, innovative spaces collectively for 66 years.
With a versatile background comprising both interior design and retail managerial success, Giannella oversaw multiple high-end retail fashion stores in his native New Jersey/New York area and eventually followed his passion by launching his own interior design company, before relocating to South Florida and joining CDH.
Paige, raised in New England, is a dynamic and accomplished design professional who was lured to Florida in 2001 and worked as a sales/design associate and merchandiser for a luxury furniture showroom in DCOTA and Miami’s famed Design District. A passionate designer at CDH, he designs interiors with a sense of romance, combining world-class style, beauty and functionality.
Having lived and worked in cities across the globe, including Sao Paulo, Brazil, where he was born, Dos-Santos was recognized for his design talents and awarded Circle of Excellence Rookie of the Year, and soon after, Designer of the Year. At CDH, he enjoys working with clients and creating ways to improve their lives through innovative designs.
When asked what the most popular design trends are right now, Giannella responded, “Casual elegance. Black and white, with layers of wood tones mixed in.”
Paige added, “We’re designing kitchens with contrasting finishes. We use Quartz countertops and backsplashes that are more durable and create a beautiful seamless look — they need to be functional yet elegant, as they’re visible within the great rooms.”
And Dos-Santos explained, “We’re using a lot of curved furniture and more organic tones. We also create dramatic spaces, by focusing on more integrated lighting designs.”
Senior Sales & Design Manager, Kerry Pouliot says, “We’re setting trends every day, but design around what the clients love, it’s functionality and the way it makes them feel.” She adds, “No matter the size of the job, CDH, with its large staff, CAD, custom design services and window treatment departments, works seamlessly and collaboratively to handle any type of project.”
