Enduring Design

For more than 25 years, Snake River Interiors has curated homes to fit clients’ tastes and lifestyles.

Snake River Interiors isn’t about following trends. “We instead focus on figuring out how clients want to live in their homes and guide them in style choices so that the design is enduring,” says founding principal Elisa Chambers. Since Snake River Interiors celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2023, this approach obviously resonates with clients.

“What sets Snake River Interiors apart is our commitment to understanding our clients and their lifestyle,” Chambers says. “We design homes for people to comfortably and elegantly live in, not homes that merely look beautiful. ‘Livable luxury’ has become a buzzword in design recently, but we’ve been doing that for more than two decades. We’ve always believed that you don’t need to give up one of these for the other, you just need to be thoughtful about the way you look at things.”

One of the ways Snake River Interiors achieves design that is as livable as it is luxurious is by careful curation and editing. “More is not necessarily better,” Chambers says. “I’d rather put three great pieces into a space than a bunch of junk.” A visit to Snake River Interiors’ showroom on the Town Square, Twenty Two Home, gives you a taste of what Chambers means. “We have beautiful, beautiful pieces,” she says. “We source from around the world and focus on having pieces you won’t find anywhere else.” Last winter, pieces in Twenty Two Home came from France and Belgium, as well as from boutique makers and designers closer to home.

“If a designer does their job well, a family’s home is a sacred spot—it is the place that has a look they like and where they get to fully relax and be themselves,” Chambers says. “This is what I strive to create for my clients, whether it’s an entire house or two rooms.”

By understanding our clients’ lifestyle, we can then translate this into design elements that create functional, comfortable, and style-conscious living spaces, Chambers says.
