What our clients are saying...
Darlene is someone who works with a client to create aesthetic rooms and spaces to meet the specific needs of the client. Darlene met my needs in every way by creating in my new condo a sanctuary. My living room, two bedrooms and sitting room. Not only did she create a very stylish environment, she managed to highlight so many of my personal possessions. This is my happy place. Thank You.
Darlene is the best! She is fun to work with and very professional. My family loves our new living room and can’t wait to work with her again!
My OBX realtor recommended Sanctuary Design to us, and we will be forever grateful she did! Working with Darlene and Michelle was a dream. They take such pride of ownership of what they do - down to the smallest detail - and the end result was truly stunning! Darlene made strategic recommendations that helped us garner more rental income immediately. She and Michelle are both so cost-conscious and ensured we got a great value every step of the way. Michelle went the extra mile and was a fantastic communicator. And they made the whole process SO MUCH FUN (and I usually dread projects like these because I am indecisive). Thank you, Sanctuary Design, for caring so deeply about what you do and the families you serve!
Working with Sanctuary Design was an absolute joy. From start to finish they are committed to excellence in bringing your design vision to life. I can not say enough good things about this company and their designers. They make the whole process enjoyable and fun!
Where do I start? Darlene Tuttle is not only a strong woman of integrity but is full of both innate and learned talent. When she looks at a home, she listens and advises ... always staying true to your initial vision as she guides you to designs you are sure to love and enjoy! My husband and I own a construction company on the beach, and we entered our new home in the 2018 Parade of Homes. We hired Darlene Tuttle with Sanctuary Design Co. to help us decorate, provide all new furniture and stage our new home for the Parade; We took first place with Judges' Award of Excellence and even more importantly the PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD. She was amazing. With over 300 people walking through our house that weekend I don’t think any of them neglected to comment on the amazing design, furniture and set up that they provided. It and She Were amazing! We recommend her to anyone who wants a new look! She stays within your Budget and we guarantee you will be completely astonished! Thank you, Darlene Tuttle and Sanctuary Design Co.
Darlene is the consummate professional, as well as having an amazing eye for detail and design. Working with her is a joy and pleasure!
This team excels at translating vision into reality - capturing the essence of each project while ensuring every space feels unique and intentional. I have worked with them on 2 commercials building projects (one having a waterfront restaurant), a library and common area for an assisted living facility, and my home. The use of color and atmosphere is key to setting the tone in whatever your project! They know how to cohesively design whatever your space into the "sanctuary" that you desire!
Not a day goes by that I don't think of the Sanctuary Team and how grateful I am for our house that they have made a home! It is surreal that I will be having our entire family over for Thanksgiving in our beautiful home. Words can't express the thanks in my heart to Michelle and Darlene for sharing their talents and gifts with our family.! Tears of joy will be flowing!🩷
