Design That Values Restraint, Honesty, and Enduring Form.
Your home is more than a structure—it’s a reflection of how you live, what you value, and the stories you carry forward. At Z. Tay Designs, we believe interiors should be designed for everyday use first, and beauty second—spaces that feel personal, grounded, and built to last.
Rooted in Environmental and Industrial Design, our work is guided by an intuitive understanding of visual language, material integrity, and human interaction. We design from a fabrication-informed perspective, prioritizing function, quality, and thoughtful construction over trends or disposability. The result is interiors that hold warmth, color, and meaning—spaces that support both daily life and long-term living.
Collaboration is at the heart of our process. Z. Tay Designs work closely with local artisans, craftspeople, and trusted trades to bring depth, authenticity, and craftsmanship into every project. Acting as a translator between vision and execution, we manage the details—from selections and logistics to timelines and budgets—so the process feels clear, calm, and collaborative.
Our goal is to create enduring homes that quietly evolve with the people who live in them—spaces that don’t just look beautiful, but feel right.
Z. Tay Designs offers full-service interior design nationwide, specializing in furniture refreshes, new builds, and complete renovations. Based in Boulder, Colorado and Maui, Hawaii.

For renovations and new builds, it is best to bring in an interior designer as early as possible. Early involvement helps align the layout, finishes, lighting, furnishings, and overall design vision before major decisions are made. This can save time, reduce costly changes, and create a more cohesive final result.
