Full-Service Interior Design for Rhode Island Homes
Taste Design is a luxury residential interior design firm based in Rhode Island, known for creating thoughtful, enduring interiors that reflect both place and the people who live there. From coastal homes and historic properties to full-scale renovations and new construction, we’re known for keeping large, complex home design and build projects simple and stress free for our clients. Our role is to help you maximize your investment, mitigate risk, and ensure the result is a beautiful, comfortable living space the entire family will enjoy.
Led by award-winning designer Patti Watson, our team provides exceptional service, creating homes that are meaningful, functional, and deeply personal.
Our Process
Taste's design team is known for our highly collaborative process. When you work with Taste, you can expect us to provide clear communication, detailed documentation, and close coordination with architects, builders, and craftspeople. Rather than a single “big reveal,” you will be engaged throughout the design process, ensuring decisions feel considered, informed, and intentional.
The resulting interiors are timeless rather than trend-driven, designed to enrich our clients' lives now and for years to come.
Luxury Residential Interior Design
When you look at our work, you’ll see a wide spread of aesthetics. That’s because we’re client-driven. Whatever your style, you'll enjoy the confidence of knowing you are in control, and our team of dedicated professionals will always be acting on your behalf.
Every home we work on is uniquely tailored to the family who lives there, a carefully crafted setting for memories to be made. At the same time, every home is a masterwork of planning, logistics and oversight.
