The home was originally a spec home which was bought about half way through construction. Bruce took over the interior design of the project at that point. > > Taking on a project in the middle of the construction process is not an easy task, yet Bruce handled it extremely well. He was very professional and accommodating with our needs while keeping the client's final vision at the forefront. The end result is a beautiful high end custom home in the Aqualane Shores community in Naples, FL. We wholeheartedly recommend Bruce and his team to everyone seeking an interior design firm. **★★★★★ — 41 West, Dec. 2015** > As a builder in Naples, Florida, we recommend Bruce and his team at Bruce Palmer Interior Design to anyone who owns in Naples, Bonita Beach, or Marco Island, who wants to either design and build a custom home, or wants to remodel a luxury home or condo. > Bruce understands that you want your own special place, that reflects your style and taste. It is imperative that you trust the team you have chosen to design your dream. Bruce Palme Interior Design is a team you can trust and we highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — kkuryea, Dec. 2015** > Working with Bruce was a pleasure. He is so creative, skilled and talented. Bruce created an unbelievable home for us. He kept us on track to finish on schedule. The finished product is amazing. Not a detail was missed. **Comment from Bruce Palmer Design Studio:** > The pleasure was ours! Your home is one of our favorites, and has been fun to work on since Day 1. Working with you and your husband was simple and effortless. All of the choices were made with care and we would work with you again in a heartbeat. We're so pleased that you love your finished home. **★★★★★ — Cassoni Furniture & Accessories, Nov. 2015** > We've recently worked with Bruce Palmer Interior Design and everything went smooth. A pleasure working with them and hope to do it again soon. **Comment from Bruce Palmer Design Studio:** > The barstools we purchased from you are fabulous. Our client couldn't be more pleased with the finished product. It was wonderful to work with you, and we look forward to working with you again! **★★★★★ — Lang Carpet, Jan. 2015** > Bruce is a great designer! He is very creative and innovative. Lang Carpet has been working with him for years, and he is always such a pleasure. We would definitely recommend working with Bruce Palmer! **Comment from Bruce Palmer Design Studio:** > Thank you, Lang Carpet for your support. You have been a wonderful source for us over the years. You always accommodate our needs! **★★★★★ — skbaldino, Oct. 2014** > I've worked with Bruce for more than 14 years on several different types of properties located both domestically and overseas. I'm impressed by Bruce's ability to view a a room or blueprint of an entire home, and very quickly envision how to create the ultimate living space based on its locale, its structure, and his true appreciation of the personality and lifestyle of his clients. He will then professionally execute his vision into a reality. There is no other interior designer for me! **Comment from Bruce Palmer Design Studio:** > Skbaldino, you have been a pleasure on every project you have entrusted us with. Partnerships like ours are one of the greatest reasons we cultivate relationships with our clients. Not for just one job, but for life. Topping the list of reasons is that we’re not just working on another house; we are working on your HOME. We like to know everything about you and the space, so that we can make it not only beautiful, but functional and comfortable. **★★★★★ — mengland716, Aug. 2014** > Bruce has worked on several projects over the years for my family in three homes. He is excellent with color selection and has a design vision that is second to none. Bruce and his team are very professional and great to work with on all aspects of a project. We will be using Bruce for our new beach home. I would recommend his services to anyone doing a remodel or just updating the look of a home. **Comment from Bruce Palmer Design Studio:** > Mengland716, we strive to come up with a complete vision for homes we work on before the first item is ordered. With a vision of the whole house in mind, we can pick the perfect items as the client is ready to purchase them. We are always excited to work on new things, and create fresh looks. We are looking forward to helping you and your family again. **★★★★★ — rebeccacollins, Aug. 2014** > Bruce helped us design and decorate a new, custom built house. From the selection of the doorknobs to the dining room table, and every detail in between, Bruce and his staff were amazing. His taste is impeccable, his vision is complete and his sense of humor makes even the most stressful job enjoyable. We can't recommend him highly enough. **Comment from Bruce Palmer Design Studio:** > Rebeccacollins, your home was a fun project from the ground up. Custom builds are without a doubt, our favorite type of projects. Since we work with the family from the onset of the project, we can help make each room functional, yet show-stopping. The little details are often the most fun ones to choose. People don’t realize that simple things like doorknobs and drawer pulls have such an impact! The little things are our profession, and they are what we live for. **★★★★★ — kimweinberg, Aug. 2014** > I love Bruce's taste! I found him while searching for ideas, and so many ideas I liked seemed to have Bruce's name attached. So we hired Bruce to assist us with our full-house renovation in Rehoboth Beach. He was very helpful during the construction phase, accessible when we needed him to travel/meet with us, and came loaded with wonderful, dead-on suggestions. He also made the process much easier, because this is not my forte. And personally, a pleasure to work with- patient, friendly, accommodating, professional.... as is his staff. Highly recommend! **Comment from Bruce Palmer Design Studio:** > Kimweinberg, we were so pleased when you called us and said that you had found us online at Houzz. Having customers seek you out because of past work is definitely a nice boost to the ego. It means that we are doing something right. In our business, if you aren’t patient, friendly and accommodating, you will not get repeat business. We make it a priority to get the job done to the client’s exacting standards. **★★★★★ — smstruthers, Aug. 2012** > Bruce was my decorator for the design and building of our eastern shore home. The project took over 3 years to complete from 2006 to 2009. Bruce was involved from the design phase all the way through the completed project. He worked on the overall design of the house, each room, all aspects down to the knobs on the drawers. He did the furniture, window treatments, and accessories for each room. He was also very involved with the design finishes of the house including: bathrooms, tiles, light fixtures, trim, molding, flooring and other special aspects of each room. He was very creative as illustrated by the design of the pool lounge with a bar in the shape of a boat and the opposite wall with a TV and fireplace decorated like a lighthouse. He also helped with the external features of the home including materials and colors. He is very professional and worked well with the builder. I had fun working with Bruce to design and decorate our home to make it a show piece but also a very comfortable and livable home. **Comment from Bruce Palmer Design Studio:** > Smstruthers, the longer the project takes, the better it turns out in the end. We picked every single thing in that house and made sure it was perfect before the walls were even put up. Fun details like tile, lighting, and granite selections are another of the things that we like best to work on. In a case like your home, it is always a pleasure to work with an open-minded client that will listen to ideas about boat shaped bars and fireplaces shaped like lighthouses and not laugh you out of the room. Sometimes the wildest ideas can take shape and turn into something truly spectacular. **★★★★★ — garymangum, Aug. 2012** > We hired Bruce after interviewing a number of design professionals prior to our footings being poured - our general contractor insisted that we have a designer working with us in addition to the architect. My wife Sonia and I could not have been happier with the relationship. Bruce and his staff spent a great deal of time learning our personal taste and style - and then helped move us to the next level. It would be impossible to be any happier with the interior of our home. We worked together in excess of three years, and every promise made was kept. Although we invested more than either of us would have expected going in, the investment more than paid for itself in reduced change orders and savings in furniture, wallcoverings and even the final personal touches. Sonia and I are happy to speak with anyone that's considering a design professional. We can wholeheartedly vouch for the Palmer design team. Our tastes in design have changed - and that's a good thing. Gary & Sonia Mangum **Comment from Bruce Palmer Design Studio:** > Garymangum, it is always thrilling to us when clients see potential greater than their current taste and vision. Although you had a set look in your mind, we appreciated the fact that you listened to our professional advice to look into some items outside of your usual comfort zone. We believe when you step outside of the box, you discover a whole world of amazing options you never knew existed. Interior designers exist for a reason. It is our job to know what else is out there in the world of design so that we can introduce people to not only the new trends, but ways to incorporate the trendy with the timeless. **★★★★★ — stcybcc, Aug. 2012** > Bruce is extremely talented and creative! I have worked with him on two fabulous homes that are very different and love the end result. He not only understood my vision, but took it to a whole other level that I didn't even realize existed. He and his staff are very reliable and responsive. I would highly recommend Bruce and his team!! **Comment from Bruce Palmer Design Studio:** > Stcybcc, you are one of our favorite clients. You have a very keen eye for quality items and for investment pieces. It always helps when we have clients who can clearly articulate what they are looking for in the new space being designed. When you can articulate what you want, we can build on that to create something you wanted but never even imagined. Thank you for always being so loyal to us here at Bruce Palmer! ## Selected projects - [North Shore](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/north-shore-pj-vj~1699650) - Location: Rehoboth Beach, DE - Photos: 43 - [Waterfront Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/waterfront-retreat-pj-vj~24763) - Location: Bethany Beach, DE - Photos: 29 - Description: This property is a four story waterfront retreat boasting panoramic aquatic views of the Atlantic Ocean.
