ABOUT US

Meet Jo Lyle & Co.

At Jo Lyle & Co. our goal is to design spaces that elevate your daily life. We design creative and personal environments that feel gathered and warm, mixing color and pattern to create a feeling that surrounds you. We pride ourselves on sourcing items from unique vendors and supporting local craftspeople whenever possible, opting for what’s special over what’s easy. Our full-service design packages include everything from initial concepts to detailed construction drawings to project management and construction oversight. Specializing in historic renovations, we aim to honor the existing narrative of our clients’ homes and restore what’s been lost along the way. Our narrative-driven approach adds depth and personality to every room, creating spaces that truly reflect your unique story.
