Where can you find a matchless, personalized dwelling that fulfills your every dream? Maybe it’s hiding in your very own home.

Melinda Barber of Barber Design Group is at your service with her hand-picked décor team. Together, they represent decades of brilliant design, consultation, distinctive furnishings, reclaimed tile/wood flooring from around the world, accessories, installation, exceptional customer care, and more.

Barber’s inimitable flair for luxury renovation will make the home you wanted come home to you. From an architect’s plans to your finished palace of perfection, every square inch is crafted for comfort, beauty, and the kind of grand that pulses with your own unique heartbeat.

Many residents have tapped Barber Design Group’s reservoir of fabulous fabrics, window treatments, furnishings, flooring and so much more over the past two decades. Now Melinda is thrilled to announce a fantastic new addition: cabinetry.

She says, “We are excited to bring our design business together with cabinetry. We have brought onboard seven different lines from which you/we can pick-and-choose. All selections represent the exceptional quality we know and trust.”

Melinda builds her business on several core beliefs, among them:

“Two heads are better than one. Three heads are better than two.”

“People work with me, not for me.”

In other words, everyone who works with the Design Group is part of a team. When doing a design plan, all suggestions are put on the table and honored. The goal: Keep looking until it feels right for everyone …especially the client.

God’s in the details. Little things matter and Melinda starts with the small. “The kitchen is the heart of the home. We often begin there,” she says.

She loves to make her clients smile. Starting with something treasured can be at the core of the home’s design.

Melinda shares this story: A client had a little hammer sprayed silver. Her father gave it to her as a child. It was an invitation to collaborate with him building things.

Melinda said, “Let me do something with this hammer.” She had it put in a shadowbox. The shiny silver against the box’s white interior showed up beautifully. Her client instantly cried upon presentation.

To this day she tells Melinda how much that meant to her. Something small. Something treasured. Something transformed. Something that made a house a home. It’s that kind of client intuition that makes Barber Design a cut above.

Visit Barber Design Group soon. She also has an Atlanta branch where she warehouses some products. It also serves as a base for employees who install and do the white-glove set-ups.
