Our Beliefs

— We believe homes are experiential; the backdrop to memories built and moments shared. They are not to be left pristine and untouched, able to be copied and pasted for someone else. Instead, they are personal. They are meant to be richly lived in and freely shared. This belief overflows to influence everything from the colors and textures we use, the materials we select, and the finishing styling touches we add.

— We believe in hospitality. This doesn’t refer to dinner parties or cocktail hours (though, we’d never turn down either), but spaces where you and everyone who enters finds a deep level of comfort. At times this allows you to rest and renew; at other times to play, make a mess in the kitchen, or reconnect with inspiration. 

— We believe in the power and gift of collaboration. With a listening ear to our clients and intentional industry relationships, we find the best designs come from teamwork and always remaining solution-oriented. We bring our expertise and knowledge to the table, but remain willing and eager to learn and grow as the industry is forever evolving. 

— We believe in integrity, honesty, and hard work. These values lay the foundation for every other belief above to stand on. 

— We believe design is FUN - abundantly so! We want to constantly release the pressure for a perfect, untouched home, and connect with the form and function that lets us live well in our homes and open our doors more often.

Our Story

— Clove is the culmination of overlapping passions woven through of a decade of work and exploration.

— Welcome! I’m Abby Schmidt, founder of Clove Design Studio.  

— I’ve spent the last decade working in luxury retail and full-service interior design. Throughout the years, I’ve held every position from project manager, to designer, to stylist - allowing me to learn every step of the process. Alongside full-time design work, I operated an online and pop-up shop offering curated vintage and small batch houseware collections.

— And, here we are.

— Throughout these years of client relations, design work and shop experience, I am thrilled to find the winding paths converging in Clove. I am honored to come alongside clients to help bring a vision of home and comfort to life. There is no better journey.
