Home, designed differently.

CYI is a full-service residential interior design based in Knoxville, Tennessee, serving clients locally and nationwide through in-person and virtual design. From a single room to an entire home, we manage every detail—so you don't have to.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Beautiful homes

begin with intention.

Before a single design decision is made, we take the time to understand how you live, what your home needs to support, and how you want to feel when you walk through the door.

From there, every choice has purpose

About

Designed around you.

Your life. Your routines. Your story. Your vision of home.

I believe that great design begins by truly understanding the people who live in the space. That understanding shapes every decision, creating homes that are as restorative as they are beautiful.

  • A Space That Finally Feels Right

    “I don’t have much of a design eye at all, and Christy made the process so easy. She helped me figure out my style, explained why things worked, and designed a living room that finally feels pulled together. The space looks amazing, but more importantly, it feels like me.”

    —Ayo G.

    “I’ve partnered with Christy on several residential new builds, and her design eye is exceptional. She’s knowledgeable, thoughtful, and a master at selecting materials that make a home feel cohesive from the ground up. She sees things early that save time and elevate the final result.”

    — Nicole B.
