Custom pews, furniture, light fixtures, fabrics, colors, floor coverings and wall finishes were able to be, designed and sourced. The services He was able to provide were invaluable to the successful outcome of this project. Doug, Thank-you! I am a huge fan and will gladly recommend, without reservation your design services. You truly exceeded expectations and I enjoyed working with you.”

“We have worked with the Stratton Design Group on a number of different projects they have spearheaded. They were able to articulate their client’s desires and needs better than many of the designers we have worked with on both residential and commercial projects. This allowed for us to get them what they needed when they needed it. In regards to the quality of their work, their designs are gorgeous and unique. Most importantly, Doug is a delight to work with and incredibly professional.”

“Doug is an amazing design specialist with a unique ability to read the mind of the customer and put exactly what they want and more into the project. We were very impressed with his creative mind. Doug has a way of explaining very detailed components of a design in a manor that allowed the layman to understand what he feels would be the best approach to a project, saving many hours of wasted design time. Thanks to Doug, our project was much more than we could have ever hoped for and expected.”
– Alltech Central Services, Inc.
“Without Doug as the lighting consultant, the end result of the home would be very different…Doug brings not only a high level of creativity as a lighting consultant, he also brings a great deal of technical knowledge. The two must go together. In Asheville, I know of no other one who has his expertise. His plans and drawings are of the highest quality. And I enjoy working with him because of his great sense of humor!”
– Ambiance Interiors

“We had the pleasure of seeing Doug’s work first-hand in Asheville, NC recently and all I can say is … WOW! This is a man who has honed the design craft with such forethought, detail and beauty it’s really a delight to see. I wish sometime in the future he could somehow pass on his inspiration and dedication, thoughtful and though provoking design to the next generation of interior designers so we don’t lose his caliber of talent …..ever.”

“I cannot recommend Doug Stratton highly enough. He is extremely professional and personable, as well as having a good sense of humor – a prerequisite in our book. He helped us find creative solutions to lighting our new kitchen at a reasonable cost, with many designer touches. Several of these apparently went against the grain of conventional wisdom, and the result was inspired!”
– Scott Tower
“(Doug) has transformed a nice design into an amazing design, with no increase in overall square footage, and he produced a new, detailed floorplan to build from. Again, all this from first contact to finished, dimensioned floorplan in 10 days! And, now, on to the lighting design, which I’m certain, will be every bit as impressive. Doug Stratton is creative, experienced, responsive, professional, and a delight to work with. He has already earned our unqualified recommendation.”
– Perry Alexander
“Mr. Stratton designed the Spa for us at the Inn on Biltmore Estate and did a lot of research and planning for this project. He had a short time frame from the start to the completion. Doug helped with the construction management of it and would come every day to oversee the project and was a hands on person. The outcome was breathtaking. I would have him do work for us on our next project here at the Inn on Biltmore.”
– David Moyer
“Associated Builders has worked with Stratton Design Group on several projects and we are constantly impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail. The high quality of Doug’s designs far exceed all expectations. We highly recommend SDG for your next project.”
– Associated Builders
“Douglas not only brings in awesome designs but he is always open to new ideas from his artist as well. He is very thorough with the details of his projects which translates into some of the highest quality rooms I have worked on. This has become one of my favorite design companies to supply products for in many years of building custom pieces. If you’re looking for a detail oriented open minded designer who thinks both in and outside of the box you should seriously consider Stratton Design Group.”
– Matrix Design
“We worked with Douglas Stratton on a renovation of our lower level to create a family gathering room. When he joined in on our project, he quickly took the look and feel of the room to another level with his sense of design and expertise in lighting. As we worked our way though our project, Doug was able to problem solve quickly and visually present us with some design options that were creative, sophisticated and unique. Our room has a beautiful look and feel even before we added the furniture.”
– Angie and Dan Baechtold
“Douglas Stratton provided vision, expertise and excellence in my bathroom remodel. His style is artistic, capturing the nuances of light, texture, drama, and flow in a seamless orchestra of function and beauty. He was able to create a magnificent space that incorporated all of the attributes that I wanted, and more! Because he sees his work as art, he is passionate and dedicated and I felt that dedication throughout the design and construction phases. Thank you Douglas!”
– Ilana Alberico
