We Partner
We believe that a good design partnership is crucial with our clients and with the many artisans that support our aesthetic. For over 24 years we’ve been crafting inspired, soulful, and livable homes, which in turn has given us the enduring relationships that are at the core of our success.
We Listen
The best design approach is all about listening well, being responsive and ultimately providing our clients with spaces that don’t just look pleasing but also feel good. That feel like them. We don’t want a ‘signature’ look…we want your home to be all about you.
Churchill said, “we shape our homes, and our homes shape us”. We don’t simply renovate or decorate spaces; we truly transform them; we make them uniquely yours.
We Execute
We pride ourselves at Good Manors in balancing both creative energies along with the organizational skills necessary to implement our plans. We pay attention to detail, communicate well & often. We are transparent in the process: budgeting, estimating, invoicing, and the nitty-gritty of making your project happen!
Some people look for a beautiful place. Others make a place beautiful.

Our skillset is creating an interior that reflects warmth & personality, grounded in pieces with character & patina, layered with contemporary touches. We love mixing furniture of different periods, styles & finishes--the contrast makes each individual piece stand out, and the overall space more interesting.
We are businesslike in our processes: budgets & timelines, prioritized transparency, frequent communication, and efficiency throughout from planning to completion.
Our Process
1 / Initial Consult
We begin every project with a 2-hour (minimum) in person consultation.
We want to get to know you, listen to your desires, take notes and photos of your existing spaces. We’ll discuss broad design concepts and expected project duration.
2 / Kickoff
Project scope, timing, ballpark budget, product selections & recommendations.
After review of our design overview, we select products, create floor plans, and design details, followed by a detailed estimate and planned project timing.
3 / Project Management
Estimates, invoices, order placement & tracking.
You can expect excellent communication and transparency from Good Manors. Project estimates are provided, along with deposit invoices, updates on order placement, tracking and ultimately installation schedules are given throughout the process.
4 / Delivery & Installation
Wrap up.
We schedule to maximize the delivery/install resources and minimize the impact to the client.
Our design team is always present to oversee all installs: we want to be assured that you are happy with the results, so that we can be happy!
Clean, timeless design
Good Manors is based in Charlotte & Cashiers NC, but our clients are everywhere! Since 1998, Good Manors has been consistently designing beautiful environments and nurturing client relationships. We understand the importance of scale and appreciate the element of surprise provided by the juxtaposition of design styles.
We value rich textures, global influences, the patina of timeless furnishings, and layer it all to create a solution that is uniquely you.
