Dilworth Business Series: Theory Design Studio
had so much fun checking out one of Dilworth’s newest assets recently: Theory Design Studio. If you have not had the chance to stop in and check out their store, you must do it…and soon. They have done a brilliant (and beautiful) job at blending stunning, affordable home decor items with larger and bolder statement pieces. Not to mention they have got the loveliest candles we have ever smelled and the most clever cards and fun gifts for that friend who has everything and is impossible to buy for – you will seriously love this place.
Whether you are looking for chic, gold accent pieces, unique bookends, incredible wall art, a statement chandelier, throw pillows, or even warm, natural pieces, Theory Design Studio is sure to meet (and even exceed) your needs.
As if their store wasn’t breathtaking enough, they also offer their design expertise to their customers! If you are struggling with ideas as to how to decorate a particular room, or are looking for one final piece to complete your home, they are happy to offer their suggestions and even pull pieces for you to review at your leisure.
We had the pleasure of stopping in and catching up with co-owner, Emily Hudgens (and her playful dog, Max- if you can’t tell, he loves the camera). Take a look at the Q&A with one of our newest favorite places in Charlotte:
