Perch

Perch offers a spectrum of forward-thinking styles for the home. 19th century pieces coexist with avant-garde contemporary, modern lines merge artfully with antique & vintage objects. Think the New Orleans look with a progressive twist. Perch also offers full design services including custom window treatments and upholstery, space planning, staging, and color consultations. Perch was founded in 2007 by owner/decorator Caroline Robert. Shortly after Katrina, Caroline and her husband Andre wanted to invest in the city. The building which houses Perch - an 1860's cottage located on Magazine Street in the historic Garden District came available. They renovated it and brought it back to its original beauty with large windows and grand 13 foot ceilings. Caroline scours the country's contemporary markets, estate sales and auction houses to find items for the well curated collection of furnishings of perch as well as clients' homes. Caroline found her niche in the interior design realm of New Orleans designing residential spaces and commercial. At Perch, we recognize that each client is unique and has their own style and design needs. Our goal is to assist in realizing these needs and seeing them through to fruition. From the initial meeting and assessment, to the installation and styling, we are involved in all aspects of our projects. From ordering and delivering furnishings to coordinating with contractors we remain actively involved until our clients’ ultimate vision is realized. We shy away from homogeneity in our design and are constantly searching for the most interesting and new contemporary lines, as well as unique antique and vintage pieces to build into our projects. We love utilizing items that hold personal significance to our clients, and proposing fresh ways to reinvent them. For example, a 19th century heirloom settee can be revitalized with different and unexpected fabric and trim.
