At DESIGN STYLE GUIDE: our purpose is to help you find handmade home decor and home design products, services, and local events fast. We make it easy for you to search for quality items by room, style, color or material.

WE CARRY ONLY HANDMADE HOME DECOR ITEMS: because we believe that design in its purest state — unadulterated by commercial mass-production compromises — provides the highest quality.

DESIGN STYLE GUIDE IS NOT A PORTAL OR A SEARCH ENGINE: Portals and search engines are great, and can be very useful, but when searching for specific products, quality items, or a certain "look," they usually send you on a frustrating, fruitless scavenger hunt, and we believe your valuable time deserves more respect. Unlike search engines that send you off to sift through untold thousands of individual websites, wasting your time and energy. In the end you're lucky if you have found anything of value. The ability to search handmade products by style, room, color, and material makes it easy to zero in on what you really want. With designstyleguide.net, you can spend more of your time on your creative process, rather than searching and searching...

DESIGN STYLE GUIDE IS NOT AN E-COMMERCE SITE: We're not focused on selling you anything--we help you find what you want, when you want, now, and directly connect you with the creator/seller. In other words when you click on "Buy Now" button, it connects you to your own e-commerce site.

SELECTIVE MEMBERSHIP: We're selective about who we represent on DESIGN STYLE GUIDE so our clients and visitors don't have to waste their time wading through clutter and products of questionable taste or quality. As DSG member, you will be a part of a group of artist that make exceptional quality Handmade Home Decor items.

WHAT WE DO: We focus on presenting ourselves as a team, including our collective portfolio, to Interior Designers, Decorators, Home Stagers.This website is the perfect companion to any quality handmade online store.
