Award-winning BGI Design Combines Sustainability and Function to Create Luxurious Living Spaces

BGI Design is a thriving full-service, luxury residential design firm, working with clients throughout Texas and beyond. Amy Guess, Allied ASID, is the award-winning owner and principal designer of BGI Design. She ensures every meticulous detail is well-conceived and executed to suggest tasteful, comfortable, and sustainable living.

Amy has worked in the design industry for almost 20 years. She acquired the previously established BGI Design in 2019 after the original owner retired. “It was definitely God’s timing,” she said. Amy and her BGI team of two associate designers, Melanie Puterbaugh and James Farah, collaborate on projects and work closely with clients. They interpret their vision of an upscale home with visual appeal and purposeful function. As a team, they take a personable approach to developing ideas and concepts that ultimately make clients’ interiors welcoming havens to relax and restore.

Housed in a location with 10 other designers and venders gives Amy, Melanie, and James the opportunity to be supportive of other professionals, and share resources that best suit their clients’ needs.

BGI’s process includes meeting with clients on site to discuss design details, rates, and the scope of the project for a renovation or a newly constructed home. “Typically, our projects involve making spaces livable, inviting, and comfortable,” Amy said. “Our clients live busy lives and don’t have time to design their spaces.” BGI gladly welcomes the opportunity to handle all the details, consulting with clients to get a better understanding of how they use their home’s space — what works, what doesn’t, and what could be improved to maintain a harmonious lifestyle.

Blending functionality with visual appeal results in purposefully designed spaces that reflect the homeowner’s needs and desires. Clean, modern lines and sustainable spaces offer homeowners and potential buyers a modern yet relaxed feel, thoughtfully curated with color-infused touches throughout.

“I love color and we’re not shy about using it,” Amy admitted. Her flair for introducing textured layers, complementary hues, and original works of art enhance but not overpower spaces, creating interest and originality. Well-appointed furnishings and fixtures are chosen, bringing all the elements of style and sophistication to a level of distinction.

Award-Winning and Thriving

BGI Design is proud to have been voted by Living readers as the Best Interior Designer in Rockwall. Additionally, they’ve garnered the Best of Houzz award for 2012 – 2026, specializing in high-performance, sustainable new construction. Other accolades and awards are listed on their website.

Amy and the BGI team allow clients to relax while they handle the process of designing and executing their perfectly appointed retreats. “Rest assured, you’ll always be treated with the utmost integrity and professionalism,” Amy said.
