What are the elements of good interior design?

A "good" interior designer is a designer that has a good combination of experience and education; a designer that can envision beautiful elements in a room; a designer that stays current on the latest trends and that continuously educates him or herself. Great Design 4 U strives however to be a great interior design company. What makes a great interior designer? An interior designer who has all of the above traits and truly has a passion for interior design, a designer that listens and takes the time to get to know the client and what is expected and how they can best serve them! A great interior designer has respect for not only the client, the client's home, and the client's family, but also for the process, holding everyone accountable in efforts to have a successful project. A great interior designer aligns themselves with other great professionals. Here at Great Design 4 U we only work with vendors, contractors, and products we can stand behind! Ultimately your happiness is our main priority!

Why do you not offer hourly rates?

In an effort to be clear and transparent, we set a flat rate so our fabulous clients know exactly what you are getting and for exactly how much. This eliminates the guessing game so the project can be completed knowing exactly what the design fee is from the beginning.

Can I complete my project in phases?

100%. When looking at project phases, there are two ways we can do that. The first is to have a separate design scope & fee for each phase of the project. Easy & no commitment. The second would be to have an all-inclusive design scope & fee from the beginning and sectioning the rooms/areas by priority to you. Cost effective & low stress.

What if I can't find a time on your calendar that works with my schedule?

Email support@greatdesign4u.com and our support staff will make every effort to ensure we can find a good time within our business hours to accommodate your also very busy schedule.

Am I able to just get window treatments?

Absolutely, we currently have a client that we are just doing window treatments for. We are putting an assortment of drapes, electric shades, cornices, and valances in their home.

Testimonials

“Working with Great Design 4 U has been an exceptional experience from start to finish. I was a little hesitant to order a sofa without being able to sit on it first, but their team took the time to ask thoughtful questions about how I use my furniture and helped me choose the perfect Great Design 4 U brand sofa.”

Stephanie B.

“I loved the very first option she presented almost every single time for every room. I was amazed! She explained why something would work or why it wouldn't.”

Karen M.

“When we began to build our home, we knew we needed help to make it the home of our dreams. Anna has exceeded our expectations. We gave her a color palette we loved and she ran with it. From specific colors for each room, to amazing light fixtures, tile for bathrooms and kitchen, cabinet hardware, mirrors, plumbing fixtures, stone for fireplace, furniture pieces, and more.”

Company History

Great Design 4 U was founded in 2008 by Anna Stowe, a High Point University graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design. What began as Anna Stowe Interiors has grown into a full-service design studio serving residential and commercial clients throughout the Lake Norman area of North Carolina.

For nearly two decades, Great Design 4 U has been a go-to name for homeowners and business owners across the Lake Norman area who want expert design without the stress of managing it themselves. From Charlotte to Mooresville, Cornelius to Concord, our clients come to us because they're busy, they have great taste, and they'd rather spend their time enjoying their space than sourcing every fixture and finish themselves.
What sets us apart is flexibility paired with expertise. Whether you need a fully managed, white-glove renovation or simply a few hours of expert direction to guide a project you plan to implement yourself, we meet you where you are. With nearly 30 years of industry experience, a dedicated studio team, and a genuine passion for creating spaces that reflect how our clients actually live, Great Design 4 U has built a reputation throughout the Lake Norman region for delivering results that are as functional as they are beautiful.
Our clients are busy professionals, growing families, and business owners who don't have hours to spare sourcing tile or comparing paint swatches. That's exactly why we built our process the way we did. From your first inspiration appointment through final installation, we handle the details so you can stay focused on your life and your work, while still ending up with a space that feels entirely yours.
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all design, and we don't believe in cookie-cutter service either. Every project starts with understanding how you actually live or work, so the end result feels personal to you rather than pulled from a template.
Great design isn't just about beautiful choices, it's about the hundreds of small details that make a project run smoothly. From tracking orders to coordinating installations, our team stays on top of the logistics so nothing falls through the cracks and nothing feels stressful on your end.
