Tonya Hill is known for her love and zeal of transforming mundane spaces into distinctively polished works, where sophistication and luxury touches merge with comfort and function. Remembering fond childhood memories of browsing through glossy magazines, intrigued with before and after photos, it is no surprise that she later turned that appreciation of design and her enthusiasm of beautifying spaces to launch her boutique firm in 2002.
The inspiring passion and philosophy behind Opalus Designs is unequivocally to find the hidden beauty in all things. Drawing inspiration from many influences, including art and travel, each project is more of a journey—an ebb and flow of discovery and change. The quest to uncover what makes each space unique, the thrill of the hunt in sourcing just the right treasure, and the translation of that essence into a vibrant and memorable, modernized interior are the highlights of each project journey.
Opalus Designs brings a fresh perspective to crafting transformational interiors. Blending classic styles with today's modern elegance, each refined space is meant to be experienced. Mindfulness that subtle nuances of richly layered detailing of texture, pattern and color, clean lines, and thoughtfully selected furnishings can most definitely create major impact in revitalizing a space.
Our client approach is simple—keenly listening, valuing quality over quantity and building a relationship over rushing. It is through this care of detail that Opalus Designs works to reflect you in a unique and elevated way, creating a beautifully delivered gracious lifestyle for you to enjoy.
During the tenure of designing for both commercial and residential projects, Opalus Designs has been privileged to work with clients from Virginia to Florida. Positive enthusiasm and quintessential style have elicited repeat business from discerning clients.
