By Ashley & Justin Kuhni — Founders of Designly Done, Utah County's luxury home decor store and design center, and Ashtin Group UT, Utah County's premier luxury custom home builder

Let's be real: shopping for elevated home decor in Utah County has historically meant one of two things — driving an hour north to Salt Lake, or settling for whatever the big-box stores happen to have on the floor that week.

Neither of those options is good enough for the homes being built and designed here in Utah County today.

Utah County is growing — and not just in population. The caliber of architecture, the quality of custom home builds, and the sophistication of homeowner taste have all elevated dramatically in recent years. Provo, Lehi, Saratoga Springs, Eagle Mountain, Springville, and Spanish Fork are seeing a wave of luxury custom homes unlike anything this region has experienced before. And the homeowners moving into these properties want interiors to match — elevated, curated, intentional, and distinctive.

That's exactly why we built Designly Done.

As the founders of both Designly Done — Utah County's luxury home decor store and full-service design center — and Ashtin Group UT — one of Utah County's most trusted luxury custom home builders — Justin and Ashley Kuhni have spent years watching this market evolve. And we knew that what Utah County was missing wasn't another furniture store. It was a true luxury design destination: a place where homeowners could shop for beautiful, high-end decor and access the expert design guidance to know exactly what to do with it.

That's Designly Done. And in this guide, we're going to tell you exactly what elevated home decor means, why it matters, what to look for when you're shopping for it in Utah County, and why our design center is the only place in the area doing this the right way.

What Does "Elevated Home Decor" Actually Mean?

Before we get into where to shop, let's define what we're actually talking about — because "elevated home decor" is a phrase that gets thrown around a lot without much precision.

Elevated home decor is not simply expensive home decor. It's not about price tags. It's about quality of materials, intentionality of design, longevity of style, and the way a piece makes a room feel — not just look.

Elevated home decor is:

• Crafted with integrity. Solid wood frames, hand-thrown ceramics, hand-knotted rugs, and artisan-made textiles rather than mass-produced, hollow alternatives.
• Designed with purpose. Every piece earns its place. Nothing is filler.
• Curated, not collected. Elevated rooms feel cohesive because each element was chosen in relationship to the others — not grabbed from a dozen different stores with no common thread.
• Built to last. The best home decor gets more beautiful over time. It's not meant to be replaced with next season's trend.
• Personal. The most elevated interiors feel like they belong to the person who lives there. They reflect a point of view.

At Designly Done, this is our entire philosophy — and it shapes every single piece we carry in our Utah County design center and every project our design team takes on.

Why Utah County Homeowners Are Hungry for This (and Have Been for Years)

Utah County has long been underserved by the luxury home decor market. For years, residents with sophisticated taste and the resources to match have had to look outside the county — or outside the state entirely — to find home furnishings and decor that met their standards.

This is changing. The custom luxury home building boom across Utah County — particularly in areas like Lehi, Saratoga Springs, and southern Utah County communities like Springville, Mapleton, and Spanish Fork — has created a concentrated, local demand for elevated home decor that simply didn't exist here a decade ago.

These are homeowners who've invested significantly in their custom home builds. They've worked with luxury builders like Ashtin Group UT to create architecturally distinctive homes with high-end finishes, custom millwork, and thoughtfully designed floor plans. The last thing they want is to fill those homes with generic, mass-market furniture and decor that undermines everything they've invested in.

They want interiors that are as luxurious as the homes themselves.

Designly Done exists to serve exactly this client.

What Makes Designly Done Different From Other Home Decor Options in Utah County

There's no shortage of places to buy furniture and home goods in Utah County. So what makes Designly Done the destination for elevated home decor?

1. It's a True Design Center — Not Just a Store

Most home decor stores in Utah County — or anywhere, for that matter — are exactly that: stores. You browse, you pick something you like, you buy it, you figure out where to put it.

Designly Done is a design center first. That means every product we carry is part of a design conversation. Our team doesn't just sell you a throw pillow or a side table — we help you understand how that piece works within the context of your entire room, your home's architecture, your color palette, and your lifestyle.

This is the experience that homeowners building with Ashtin Group UT have come to expect: design support that extends from architectural selections all the way through the final decorative accessories. And now that experience is available at Designly Done to any homeowner in Utah County.

2. A Rigorously Curated Product Selection

The word "curated" gets overused in retail. At Designly Done, it means something specific: every product in our Utah County home decor store has been personally selected by our design team for quality of materials, integrity of construction, distinctiveness of design, and compatibility with the elevated aesthetic we specialize in.

We do not carry products simply because they're popular or because they fill space on a floor. We carry products because they are genuinely excellent — and because they contribute to the kind of interiors our clients deserve.

This means you will not find mass-produced, trend-chasing décor at Designly Done. You will find pieces that reward close inspection: hand-stitched details, natural material variation, artisan imperfections that signal authenticity, and construction quality that tells you these pieces are going to last.

3. The Ashtin Group UT Connection

Designly Done and Ashtin Group UT are sister companies, both founded by Justin and Ashley Kuhni. This relationship is not just a marketing partnership — it shapes the way both companies operate at a fundamental level.

When clients build a luxury custom home in Utah County with Ashtin Group UT, they have seamless access to Designly Done's design team and product catalog throughout the building process. Interior selections, finishes, furniture, lighting, textiles, and decorative accessories are all coordinated under one roof — ensuring that the finished home feels cohesive, intentional, and extraordinary from the architecture out to the last decorative detail.

And for homeowners who aren't building new — who simply want to elevate their existing space — Designly Done's design center and retail experience offers that same level of sophistication and expertise without the construction project.

4. Access to Trade-Only and Exclusive Product Lines

As a professional design firm and design center, Designly Done carries and has access to product lines that are simply not available to the general public through retail channels. These trade-only lines represent some of the finest home furnishings and decor available — the kinds of pieces you see in high-end shelter magazines and professionally designed custom homes, but that most homeowners have no way to access on their own.

Working with Designly Done — whether through our retail center, our design consultation service, or as part of an Ashtin Group UT custom home build — gives you access to this world.

What to Look for When Shopping for Elevated Home Decor in Utah County

Whether you shop with us at Designly Done or explore other options in the area, here's what separates elevated home decor from ordinary home decor — and what to look for when you're making purchasing decisions for your home.

Quality of Construction

Turn the piece over. Look underneath. Open the drawers. Check the joints. In elevated furniture and home goods, quality is present even where no one is looking. Solid wood frames (not engineered wood or particleboard), dovetail drawer construction, eight-way hand-tied spring systems in upholstery, and high thread-count linings are all signals of genuine craftsmanship.

Material Authenticity

Elevated home decor uses real materials: solid wood, genuine leather, hand-knotted wool, natural linen, hand-thrown ceramic, cast metal, genuine marble or stone. Faux versions of these materials — regardless of how convincing they look — age differently, feel different, and carry a different energy in a room.

In the luxury custom homes we build and design throughout Utah County, we specify real materials exclusively. The same standard should apply to your decor.

Timelessness Over Trend

Elevated home decor transcends seasonal trends. The best pieces — whether a linen upholstered sofa, a hand-knotted Persian rug, an antique brass lantern, or a hand-thrown stoneware vase — remain beautiful and relevant decade after decade. When you're shopping, ask yourself: "Will I still love this in 15 years?" If the honest answer is no, it may be a trend piece rather than a truly elevated one.

Cohesion With Your Existing Space

The most expensive piece in the world will look wrong if it doesn't belong in the context of your room. At Designly Done, we always encourage clients to bring photos of their space, their existing pieces, and their architectural details (trim color, flooring, hardware finishes) when they come to shop. Context is everything in elevated home decor.

The Designly Done Design Process: Shopping With Expert Support

One of the most common challenges homeowners face when shopping for elevated home decor — even in great stores — is decision paralysis. With thousands of options and hundreds of variables to consider, the process can quickly become overwhelming.

Designly Done eliminates that problem.

Step 1: Discovery Consultation

Every design center visit at Designly Done begins with a discovery conversation. Our team wants to understand your home, your lifestyle, your aesthetic preferences, and your goals for the space. This takes the guesswork out of everything that follows.

Step 2: Curated Selections

Based on your discovery conversation, our design team curates a selection of pieces specifically for your project — pulling from our in-center inventory as well as our broader trade network. You're not navigating an overwhelming showroom alone; you're being guided through a thoughtfully edited selection built around your specific home and needs.

Step 3: Design Visualization

For clients doing more comprehensive room or whole-home design, Designly Done offers design visualization services — rendering your space with proposed furniture and decor selections so you can see how everything will look and feel before committing. This is a standard offering at our Utah County design center, and it's the same visualization process we use when collaborating with Ashtin Group UT on new luxury custom home builds.

Step 4: Sourcing, Delivery, and Installation

Once selections are finalized, Designly Done handles sourcing, order management, delivery coordination, and professional installation. Your role is to love the finished result — our team handles everything in between.

Our Favorite Elevated Home Decor Categories Right Now

These are the categories our Designly Done design team is most excited about for Utah County homes in 2026:

Statement Lighting

Lighting is the single most transformative element in any interior, and the most overlooked. We're currently loving sculptural pendants in hand-blown glass, oversized woven rattan chandeliers for relaxed luxury, and unlacquered brass wall sconces that develop a beautiful patina over time. Lighting is the jewelry of a room — and it deserves the same investment as your major furniture pieces.

Artisan Ceramics and Organic Objects

Hand-thrown ceramic vases, bowls, and vessels. Hand-carved wood objects. Stone bookends. Sculptural driftwood. These organic, artisan-made objects bring an irreplaceable sense of authenticity and warmth to elevated interiors. We source artisan ceramics from independent makers and small studios — pieces you won't find anywhere else in Utah County.

Luxury Textiles

Throw pillows in performance velvet, bouclé, and hand-embroidered linen. Hand-woven throws in natural cashmere or merino wool. Custom drapery in heavyweight linen or silk. Textiles are the fastest way to add luxury to a room — and the quality difference between elevated textiles and ordinary ones is immediately apparent to the touch.

Hand-Knotted and Handwoven Rugs

A hand-knotted rug is one of the most significant investments you can make in your home's interior — and one of the most rewarding. Unlike machine-made rugs, hand-knotted wool or silk rugs develop character over time, age beautifully, and can last generations. At Designly Done, we carry a curated selection of hand-knotted rugs in styles from Persian traditional to modern abstract, sized for every room configuration.

Curated Art

Original art and high-quality fine art prints transform a room from beautiful to extraordinary. We work with a select group of artists and galleries to offer Designly Done clients access to original works and limited-edition prints that anchor rooms with meaning and visual impact. We also provide art consultation services to help you select and place art throughout your home.
