About Harthouse Design

Harthouse Design is led by two designers, Laura Hart and Laura Bowers, according to the site's About page. The page traces the studio's origin to 2002, when "Laura Hart's design genius was uncovered by an investor who was flipping houses in Charlotte's Elizabeth neighborhood." From there, "builder after builder began calling Laura to help with selections for high-end spec homes," and she later "opened retail space at Slate, a furniture and art collective in Charlotte's eclectic Plaza Midwood neighborhood" before closing it to focus on client work.

Laura Bowers is described as the prior owner of "Wise Design," her own interior design business, and as "MBA-minded," a description the site connects to keeping projects "clearly communicated, on time and on budget." The two are described as old friends who decided to "partner up on a few projects" and found the collaboration worked well, eventually forming Harthouse Design together.

The About page does not name any formal design credentials, degrees, professional certifications, or licenses for either designer, and none are stated anywhere else on the site that was read. No awards, published years-of-experience figures beyond the 2002 founding date, or project counts appear on the page. The site describes the partnership in terms of chemistry, creativity, and working style rather than formal qualifications.

What Harthouse Design does

Harthouse Design lists a specific set of interior design services on its Services page, under the heading "Whole house or single-room interior design services including:"

  • Space planning and furniture layout for interior and exterior living spaces
  • Research, selection and coordination of fabrics, furniture, lighting, artwork and accessories

  • Interior and exterior paint selection, as well as wallpaper and other interior finishes
  • Coordination of onsite installations and supervision of tradespeople
  • Finish selections for renovations and new construction

These are the only services named on the site; there is no separate listing for kitchen and bath design, staging, or commercial work, and nothing on the site indicates the studio does graphic, web, or landscape design in addition to interiors.

The Services page also states the studio's philosophy: "We believe that home can be both beautiful and functional. It's not an either/or! We create thoughtful, memorable spaces that serve as the perfect backdrop for everyday life." The Why Harthouse page adds that the studio shares "a studio and resource library" with other designers, giving access to "a vast inventory of fabrics, wallpapers, furnishings and accessory lines," which the site says translates into "competitive pricing for our clients" — the only reference to pricing on the site, and it does not state a price, rate, cost, or fee for any specific service.

Harthouse Design is a residential interior design studio based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The company describes itself as "a full-service interior design firm with an abundance of resources, experience and creativity," providing "fully customized interiors" for whole-house or single-room projects. The site states clearly what kind of work this is: interior design. There is no mention anywhere on the site of graphic design, web design, or landscape design work.

Harthouse is run by two designers working together, Laura Hart and Laura Bowers, described on the site as "two talented designers working in concert, blurring the lines between design and process, ensuring the best solution for our clients every time." The studio's stated approach centers on livability paired with polish: "We believe in style AND function, working tirelessly to achieve the beauty found only in a home that functions as nicely as it shows."

The site does not publish a menu of individually priced services — there is no page listing prices, costs, rates, or fees for any of Harthouse's design services. It also does not state current availability for new projects or list project timelines. Anyone wanting current pricing, cost, or scheduling information for a project would need to contact the studio directly, since none of this appears on the published pages read for this summary.

Where Harthouse Design works

Harthouse Design is based in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the site names the specific neighborhoods it serves. The Testimonials page states the studio is "proud to have served a long list of clients across the Charlotte area, from traditional Myers Park and Eastover to historic Dilworth and eclectic Plaza Midwood." The homepage adds more neighborhoods in a quote attributed to "Laura and Laura": "Whether in Foxcroft or Plaza Midwood, Dilworth or Ballantyne, Myers Park, Eastover or Elizabeth, our strength is finding that sweet spot between livability and impeccable design."

So the areas named across the site are: Foxcroft, Plaza Midwood, Dilworth, Ballantyne, Myers Park, Eastover, and Elizabeth — all Charlotte, NC neighborhoods. The About page also mentions that Laura Hart's design work began in "Charlotte's Elizabeth neighborhood" and that she later opened retail space "in Charlotte's eclectic Plaza Midwood neighborhood."

Beyond naming these neighborhoods, the site does not publish a street address, ZIP code, or any indication of a public storefront — the About page mentions a shared "studio and resource library" but does not give its location. No business hours are published anywhere on the site, and there is no page stating whether the studio is currently open to new clients or what its appointment availability looks like.

Lists Laurel, Charlotte, and Elizabeth as a location. Names North Carolina, Charlotte, and Elizabeth as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published.

How Harthouse Design works with clients

Harthouse Design's Contact page is short and direct: "Contact Us — It starts with a conversation. There's nothing quite as exciting as a new design opportunity. We'd love to hear about yours to see if Harthouse could be a good fit." That is the entirety of the page's text — there is no phone number, no email address, no physical address, and no visible contact form or booking widget in the page content that was read. Other pages link to the same contact page using the phrasing "contact us" or "Get in touch," but none of them add a phone number or a booking or scheduling tool either.

Because no phone number, email, or appointment-scheduling link is published on the site, there is no way to confirm from the site alone how a prospective client should book, schedule, or set up an appointment beyond visiting the Contact page and starting that conversation. The site gives no information about response times, consultation fees, retainer structures, or what an initial meeting includes.

The Why Harthouse page describes the general process once a project starts: "We listen, we engage, and we research, immersing ourselves in the project so that we may get to know you, understand how you live, and pinpoint your own unique style." Beyond this description of approach, no formal step-by-step process, timeline, or quote or estimate procedure is published.
