Upscale Urban Design

I have known Dickey Choate, owner of Upscale Urban Design, professionally, for many years. She is without a doubt one of the most amazing designers I have ever known. She is a very hard worker, honest, and dedicated to each of her clients. She is also a great listener and comes away after meeting with her client with a very clear understanding of what they are striving to achieve. She is extremely resourceful, and knows her business. If you are looking for someone who is honest, dedicated and a very hard worker, willing to go above and beyond and do whatever it takes to do a fantastic job for her clients, then she should be your number one “go to” person. She is an outstanding designer! Linda D. Charlotte, NC

Very talented and extremely professional. As a Realtor I can recommend their services with complete confidence that my clients will be very pleased.

We became acquainted with Upscale Urban Design a few years ago and used them for a small project. We worked so well together & loved their ideas that we again chose them for a major home renovation. Everything in our home turned out fabulous! From the kitchen to the smallest accessory, everything was absolutely perfect. Upscale Urban Design has a wonderful eye for every detail.

It has been such a pleasure working with Upscale Urban Design. In the past, this has been my go to source on small projects. However this year, I have undertaken a kitchen renovation. I so appreciate the professional assessment of my needs and guidance through the budgeting and planning process. I have benefited from the wide availability of resources and trained eye of Upscale Urban Design's Dickey Choate. I feel that she is a skilled artist who has navigated me through this experience in a positive manner, keeping me from making the mistakes of my past, and ultimately enhancing my enjoyment of my home. I hope I have made a forever friend.

A friend recommended Dickey to me when we moved to Charlotte. What an astonishing surprise to learn Dickey actually had a history with our house; she had done the interior design for the previous owner! The house's colors and design were what had made it so compelling that we HAD to buy it. We left nearly all of the colors intact as they are so perfect for the house. That is the hallmark of a good designer: that what she does is timeless and remains beloved year after year. Dickey has an amazing eye for complimentary fabric colors and patterns. Her guidance with art selections is invaluable; she helped us select pieces suited to the character of our house. She takes the time to learn about our personal tastes and our functional needs. Her depth of experience has solved difficult logistics and saved me from my own amateur mistakes. She helped us create an interior reflecting our style of understated elegance, comfortable yet sophisticated. A good relationship between designer and client is essential, so you can turn to the designer again and again as the years go on. Dickey is a delight to work with. She is fun, warm and personable, patient and considerate. We look forward to working with her on many more projects.

Dickey Choate, owner of Upscale Urban Design, is a consummate professional. Her talent, eye for detail, knowledge, and professionalism gave us confidence, knowing we would be listened to and that the job would be done right, completed as promised, and on budget. Dickey gives 100% (she'd give more, if possible)! We are extremely satisfied and pleased with the beautiful environment she created for us. If you want a talented and professional interior designer, Dickey Choate and Upscale Urban Design are for you! J. Laney
