Ambiance Interiors opened in 1977 as the first full-service design firm in Western North Carolina, and it’s still the firm that offers the most complete design service and project management. Ambiance’s dedicated staff of creative professionals embraces the company’s design philosophy: “Life is too short not to be comfortable.” In May, 2009, the firm moved its showroom and offices to the “Miss Annie West Cottage,” an historic home designed by Richard Sharp Smith in 1900. The restoration used “green” design. Kathryn Long, ASID, Linda Constable, and the rest of the staff invite you to see their new dream home, and to let them help you design yours.
