About Darlene

With over twenty years of experience in design, construction, and client services, Darlene Bell is known for her elevated, simplicity-driven approach to interior design. After earning her AAS in Architecture and her BA from The New York School of Interior Design, Darlene cultivated a career defined by clarity, proportion, and innovation creating interiors that are both timeless and deeply livable.
Her design philosophy embraces what she calls The New Classic that blends a modern sense of restrained freshness achieved through refined materials, innovative use of color, and a discerning eye for balance. Every space Darlene designs is curated to her client’s individuality, blending architecture, texture, and artistry to create sensory-rich environments that feel both sophisticated and deeply personal.
Through global partnerships with top manufacturers and artisans, Darlene sources materials that reflect authenticity and excellence from marble hand-selected in Italy to rugs woven in Turkey. Her portfolio spans luxury residences across Vero Beach, Florida; St. Simons Island, Georgia; Manchester, Vermont; Princeton, New Jersey; and Bucks County, Pennsylvania, each project a reflection of her commitment to fresh, forward-thinking design.
At the heart of Darlene’s work is a belief that luxury is not defined by trend, but by the feeling a space evokes — a balance of restraint, opulence, and ease that stands the test of time.
Darlene’s continual collaboration allows for her to identify your specific design needs and seamlessly navigate you through the earliest stages to the final reveal.
