Few things impact how a space feels more than its design. Interior design goes beyond color swatches and furniture layouts — it influences mood, flow and function. Whether it’s a full-scale home renovation or selecting the right finishes for a cozy rental, these professionals help translate vision into reality. The finalists in this year’s Best of North Lake Tahoe and Truckee celebrates the designers whose creativity and attention to detail stand out.
At Tahoe Modern, the line between retail and design studio blurs in the best way. This thoughtfully curated showroom doubles as the home base for a full-service interior design team, offering both inspiration and execution under one roof. From custom furniture to lighting, rugs and artwork, every piece is selected to reflect the character of mountain living with a clean, contemporary edge. The design team works closely with homeowners and builders on projects ranging from simple room refreshes to complete remodels. Tahoe Modern places a strong emphasis on timeless materials and site-specific solutions, creating interiors that reflect the natural beauty of the region while staying rooted in function and form.
