About Us
Margo Bohaty has lived in Sarasota Florida for the last 17 years and has found the natural beauty and surroundings of Sarasota to be a wonderful place to work, design, create and enjoy her life.
As a design consultant and homeowner advocate, Margo Bohaty streamlines the process of building (or renovating) your home in a way that makes your experience wonderfully positive, productive and fulfilling. Creating a dream home does not have to riddled with frustrations, set-backs or disappointments.
As a former owner of a catering and special events company, Margo understands service. From her first beach house renovation to the new construction of multimillion dollar residences, Margo had found what would become her passion: creating beautiful surroundings and experiences for others. She has worked with numerous well know local and visiting Architects to design and build some of the most noteworthy homes in Sarasota.
Margo grew up in a community with several homes designed by Architect Frank Lloyd Wright and a community master plan designed by renowned Landscape Architect Fredrick Law Olmsted. As the daughter of two artist parents, her love for architecture and design was instilled early through childhood lessons in design appreciation and respect for the design sensibility inherent in her surroundings.
Margo studied International Fashion Design while attending the Master’s program at Auburn University, providing her with a well-rounded understanding of textiles. Whether it is brick and mortar, proportion and symmetry, or paint color and fabric texture, the process is always the same. “I visualize, do my research, surround myself with other talented professionals and the beauty and magic unfolds”, says Margo.
From concept through completion, Margo Bohaty keeps building your dream home … a dream.

My husband and I recently bought a new construction condo in Lakewood Ranch. Our goal was to select furnishings, come back two months later and spend a week getting everything done.
I spent a fast and furious 2 1/2 days with Margo choosing everything we needed for our new place. She arranged for Kathy at the Pamero shop to open the store early. Kathy spent the better part of two days with us and we were able to accomplish the whole project!
Forward two months and our new home is absolutely gorgeous! In thinking about the project these are the things that I appreciate about Margo:
She helped me develop MY vision - not a cookie cutter replica of one particular design or style.
Margo was decisive and not afraid to say “no, that wouldn’t work” - even if it was a piece that I loved. She was very mindful of the sizes of my choices and whether they would fit well in my space.
Margo has great connections in the industry. She knows painters, electricians, picture-hangers, etc. . Every worker that came to my home was professional, cheerful, on time and reasonably priced.
Her follow through has been great! She has been able to coordinate and oversee several projects after our initial week. As our condo is a second residence, this has been invaluable while trying to manage a new home remotely.
I think that Margo’s pricing has been fair and reasonable. She works very hard to do a great job and quality is of utmost importance to her. I would certainly recommend Margo Bohaty to anyone looking design and decorating help in the Sarasota area.

I was new to Sarasota and was starting over in a 2700 sq. ft. home and had no idea how and where to furnish it. Fortunately, I randomly found Margo at the HOUZZ website. She has been indispensable to the completion of our home, which we find comfortable and inviting now. Margo knows how to fit in with your style, to adapt to your budget and to respond to your inquiries. I really liked her decisiveness and willingness to reflect my tastes and desires. Margo is professional, dependable, honest and talented. I highly recommend her.

Margo Bohaty is a consummate professional. I met her after completing a total renovation on my condo. Quite frankly I was organizationally and creativity wiped out from the project and desperately wanted guidance on the next step: Interior decoration and turning my house into a home, I didn’t want to come that far and mess it up! What a fun learning adventure I experienced by working with Margo! Her ability to listen to your end goal and fill in the steps necessary to get there are very instrumental! Margo has a keen sense of style, emotion, color, design, layout and enjoys sharing her insights. Margo also illustrated a wonderful manner of empowering me to make final decisions with our projects and learn within her guidance. She would not allow me to crash and burn, and I value her opinion inexplicably. She has mastered the art of “devil in the details” and working with a immeasurably high level of perfection. Margo has many years of experience, and she has nurtured trusting working relationships with contractors and other professionals equally talented and skilled as herself. Any project or challenge you throw at her Margo will bring to life beautifully. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Margo and her team and consider myself extremely lucky for discovering her!

I hired Margo to help me gut renovate my Sarasota house while I was working in New York and in Japan on vacation. I was very specific (and particular) about what I wanted. Margo helped me with my color and material choices, furnishings, plumbing and lighting fixtures and kitchen appliances. Margo’s knowledge of area merchants was instrumental in my finding the right pieces and best prices. Margo’s contractor experience helped determine what were cost effective structural changes.
With Margo’s help I sought 3 contractor bids for the project. I selected Margo’s team based on price and reputation. Margo was engaged as the project manager while I was away. Margo ensured that the project was done on time, on budget and beautifully executed. She also emailed me status reports and pictures. Any issues were quickly resolved as Margo was in continuous communication with me. I felt like I was there without the cost and inconvenience of having to stay in a hotel.
I came back to a beautiful house 3 months later. I then engaged Margo to help with finishing touches. I appreciated Margo’s help in shopping with me to add new pieces that worked with family pieces that I kept. We even refinished a bedroom set and created a custom kitchen table that fit the space perfectly.
Working with Margo was a truly enjoyable and educational experience. I appreciated her enthusiasm and energy throughout the project. She always listens to you and makes suggestions to help you find the style that is right for you.

Margo was great to work with! She helped us define a plan and provided excellent recommendations for everything we needed - - from rugs to chairs to pillows. She “got” our style right from the start. She is also a master with fabric choices! Margo’s professional warm personality made her a pleasure to work with.

We knew no one when we moved to Sarasota, we met Margo at a furniture store, right off the bat she was so nice and helpful. We had no idea she was a interior designer when we met. As we left her that day, she offered so much advice that we followed back up with her and let her take over our project. Thank GOD we did, her knowledge of the area, connections and recommendations saved us a ton of money, time and headaches. Thanks so much Margo!
