Grosse Pointe & Detroit Interior Design Portfolio: Before & After Highlights

When it comes to home and commercial transformation, nothing tells the story better than before-and-after moments. In Grosse Pointe and Detroit—where historic charm meets a wave of modern revitalization—VERSA Design has helped homeowners, property managers, and business owners reimagine their spaces for beauty, comfort, and long-term value. Our portfolio features a blend of residential, multifamily, and boutique commercial projects, each reflecting Southeast Michigan’s unique character.

Below, discover some of our favorite transformations and see how professional interior design turns everyday spaces into stunning, functional showcases.

Historic Grosse Pointe Colonial: From Dated to Timeless

Before:

A closed-off kitchen with dark cabinets, worn laminate countertops, and limited prep space. The formal dining room felt disconnected, and the home’s original trim was hidden beneath layers of paint.

After:

Open concept layout seamlessly connects the kitchen and dining room, flooding both spaces with natural light. Custom white inset cabinetry and Carrera marble counters create an airy, timeless look. Restored original trim and refinished hardwood floors add elegance and honor the home’s history. Modern touches—like a professional gas range and statement lighting—make everyday living and entertaining a joy.

Detroit Loft: Urban Edge, Livable Luxury

Before:

A raw industrial shell with concrete floors, exposed ductwork, and little warmth. The bathroom and kitchen were strictly utilitarian, lacking storage or style.

After:

Warm wood accents and textured fabrics soften the industrial bones. Custom kitchen island with built-in storage and bar seating creates a gathering spot. Spa-inspired bathroom features a floating vanity, walk-in shower with glass enclosure, and graphic tile. Integrated lighting and art transform blank walls into a gallery-worthy backdrop.

Grosse Pointe Park Family Home: Functional & Inviting

Before:

A main floor overwhelmed by dark wood paneling and heavy drapery. The family room lacked storage, while the mudroom entry was cramped and chaotic.

After:

Bright, neutral palette and layered lighting open up the family room. Built-in shelving and cabinetry keep toys, books, and tech organized. Custom mudroom bench and cubbies handle coats, shoes, and backpacks—ideal for Michigan’s seasons. Soft textiles and local art bring warmth and personality.

Downtown Detroit Commercial Space: Boutique Transformation

Before:

A dated office with worn carpet, fluorescent lights, and no curb appeal—hardly fitting for a growing creative agency.

After:

Modern glass-walled meeting rooms with acoustic panels for privacy. Bold accent walls and statement lighting create a dynamic first impression. Custom workstations and lounge areas foster collaboration and comfort. Historic details restored: Exposed brick and original metal windows highlight Detroit’s architectural legacy.
