About

Hello!
I’m Rachael Cole.

After designing alongside some of Nashville’s most well-known interior design mavens for around a decade, I decided it was time to start my own interior design practice.

I work with people all over the city to navigate the process of renovating or remodeling their home—and sometimes even designing the build of a new one.

I love helping people dream up cozy spaces that are as impactful in their functionality as they are in their aesthetics, and that couldn’t feel more like home.

At Perennial Design Studio, inclusivity and respect are at the core of our values. We proudly serve a diverse array of clients from different backgrounds, including those from marginalized communities, regardless of race, gender identity, or sexual orientation. We strive to create spaces that are not only beautiful but also affirming and supportive of every individual’s unique identity and needs.

Your home should reflect who you are and make you feel welcomed and valued. Whether you’re looking to revamp a single room or undertake a full renovation, we’re here to ensure that every project is approached with sensitivity and creativity.

Let’s work together to create a space that truly feels like home.
