About

“Great experience working with their talented designers! Highly recommend.”

My husband and I began a kitchen remodeling project that soon expanded and turned into an update of the dining and open living space as well. We know what we like when we see it, but have a tough time articulating our “style” and putting all of the pieces together. To make the update even [...]

We so enjoyed working with by Design to help us update our family room furniture. They worked hard to coordinate fabrics with a difficult existing rug. The end result is beautiful! The customer service provided by our designer Sherri and the owner Bonita was outstanding. They made sure we were extremely happy with all of [...]

What a beautiful store with so many choices. My designer, Jessica was outstanding. Her special touch on design and her customer service was top knotch!!! I will be back to buy more. Love this store!!!!

“My husband and I had a wonderful experience with By Design! We just built our dream home and wanted a local professional design team to furnish it with high quality furnishings. The staff at By Design are very friendly and accommodating! Elissa is our Interior Designer and we highly recommend her to help with your [...]

“Sherri was lots of fun to work with when choosing new furniture for my hearth room. I wanted something my husband and 6’4” son would find comfortable and she came up with swivel rockers that were stylish and functional at the same time. She had a good eye for putting fabrics together too!”

Moving halfway across the country, from a small space to a larger home, with an interior style unlike anything my husband and I had originally envisioned, seemed both exciting and daunting.  Before making the final move to Des Moines, we knew none of our current furnishings would blend with the interior style of our new [...]

“My good friend, Sherri, is a designer at by Design and encouraged me to browse their American Leather furniture line in my hunt for a new sectional for our great room. I was wanting something contemporary, comfortable, and durable and found the perfect style on the American Leather website. Sherri then had me come in [...]

We were extremely pleased working with Laura at by Design.  She listened to our wishes and came up with a great plan for our lifestyle.  She is very easy to talk to, very helpful and gave us many good ideas.  We would definitely recommend her – makes options so much easier when you have some [...]

“Thank you Laura for helping us select furniture and design the perfect spaces in our new home. You spent time with us and got to know our taste and style. Then you put together great choices for us to select and made recommendations as a talented designer should. We really appreciate your excellent taste. You [...]

We moved from out of town to West Des Moines and didn’t know where to start to find furniture for our new home. Someone recommended By Design and it was exactly what we needed. The show room is filled with couches, chairs, tables etc. The best part about By Design is that you are able [...]

Elissa: You are the Design Goddess! We love everything – Thank you so much.   (flowers from her clients!)

“This is our third build. With the other two, I was confident in my design decisions until it came down to putting everything all together.…tile, carpet, wood floor, paint, furniture, counters, blinds, etc. At this point, I would always question myself? This time, I involved By Design from the beginning. With Laura’s assistance, all of [...]

… I’m so thankful for your wonderful customer service.

Was fortunate to work with Laura Beeler during a room redesign in my home. I was at first skeptical: how will she know what I like when she doesn’t know me? I have learned everyone has a different job/trait for a reason – Laura created the room of my dreams. It is colorful, fun and functional! [...]

My husband and I are building our dream home for us and our 6-year old son.  We have spent a great deal of time to get the layout just right, but we knew that the interior finishes were equally important to make a house a home.  Building a house can feel like an additional full-time [...]

 Laura – Thank you again for helping us choose the perfect furniture for our living room.  I’m so excited about the fabrics and styles!  It usually takes me forever to make a decision, but you made it so effortless. Your expertise and design sense are amazing!  I had a fabulous time working with you.

“What a wonderfully easy and fun experience!  …When we were ready to start thinking about furniture, you added to our great experience!  While we have thoughts and opinions on what we want the outcome of our new home to look and feel like…this is far from our area of expertise and we needed help!  I [...]

…the sleeper is awesome! It fits the space perfectly and came as promised. I also have to say that the delivery crew was top notch. It is the best experience I have had in that department in a long time.  Thanks again for your help!

I have been buying all my furniture from BY DESIGN for many years. Not only do they have the best, most unique furniture in Des Moines, they have a wonderful, knowledgable, and adorable staff!! They have always treated me so special, and Bonita especially, has gone out of her way to make my purchases extra [...]

This was such fun! Bonita was a blast to work with and we could not be happier with the furniture we purchased. Great people!

“I love love love the sunroom you helped us with and everyone who sees it does as well! It’s the most gorgeous in the AM when the sun is coming up.”
