Design Associates

Welcome to Design Associates, a full-service interior design firm that has been serving clients throughout Montana and across the United States for many years. Our work represents a rich tapestry of collaboration with our valued clients, each with their own unique style and personality.

Our Team

At Design Associates, we take pride in our years of experience, our collaborative approach, and the personal attention to detail that we bring to each and every project. Our team is led by Principal/Senior Designer Lynette Zambon, a third-generation Montana native who founded the firm in 1998. With over 20 years of interior design experience and a national accreditation with NCIDQ and ASID, Lynette has established a reputation for her ability to create interiors that reflect her clients' personalities and her own unique design sensibilities.

Carol Merica, another Principal/Senior Designer and a Montana local, joined Design Associates in 1999. With a degree from Montana State University and a national accreditation with NCIDQ and ASID, Carol serves on the advisory board for Montana State University's interior design program. Her signature design element is a classic approach infused with warm color palettes, texture, and inspiration drawn from nature and travel. Together, our team's diverse design backgrounds and collaborative approach ensure that every project reflects the unique style and personality of our clients.

Our Services

At Design Associates, we believe that every client is unique, and that their home should reflect their individual style and personality. That's why we take the time to get to know our clients, and to understand their needs and vision for their space. We offer a range of services, from space planning and furniture selection to custom window treatments and accessorizing. Our goal is to create interiors that are livable, functional, and a true reflection of our clients' tastes and personalities.

We understand that the process of designing a home can be overwhelming, which is why we strive to make it as stress-free as possible. From the initial consultation to the final installation, we guide our clients through every step of the process. We start the conversation early with our clients, the architect, and the builder, ensuring that the home design is tailored to our clients' requirements and lifestyle.

Our Projects

We are proud of the relationships we have built with our clients, and we are honored to have had the opportunity to work on so many unique and beautiful projects. From the Rough Rider Residence to the High Camp Residence, each project reflects the unique style and personality of our clients, the architecture of the home, and the location. We strive for every project to be timeless, tailored to our clients' requirements and lifestyle, and to look collected, not "decorated."
