Colleen Saglimbeni is the founder of CDS Interiors. With over 30 years of experience, she creates interiors that are stylish and elegant, as well as comfortable and smart. Through her unique design process, she marries exquisite taste and a trained eye with the reality of how life in a home is lived.

With incredible attention to detail, commitment to quality, and appreciation for functionality, Colleen established CDS Interiors with a mission to help clients realize their home’s potential by uncovering their one-of-a-kind point of view. CDS is a full service design firm that provides everything from specific room design to planning a complete renovation from the ground up. Since its founding, CDS has worked with a number of leading architects, contractors and landscapers.

Colleen forges strong, long-standing partnerships with her clients to curate a distinct aesthetic that brings together the right blend of color, materials, textures and patterns. She believes it is essential to take into account a client’s sense of style, interests and lifestyle to create a timeless, beautifully crafted, yet personal, home environment. This philosophy rings true in every one of her projects.

Leveraging her artistic background, Colleen offers an unmatched perspective to her projects. Always celebrating the art of the mix, she is infatuated with color and fabrics and takes inspiration from the way textiles and patterns can work harmoniously together. For Colleen, design isn’t a hobby…it’s a passion and a calling.

Prior to founding CDS Interiors, Colleen enjoyed a rewarding career in the fashion and retail industries where she was integral in designing, launching and managing several upscale brands. For her clients, this skilled confidence translates into resource and budget management, spatial knowledge and expertise in materials. Colleen is also a graduate of the esteemed Otis Parsons School of Design.

Colleen appreciates the amount of time, energy and investment required from her clients to see their vision come to life. She can help clients maximize their budget without sacrificing quality and taste so even custom-designed pieces are within reach. From concept to the final coat of paint, Colleen enjoys taking this journey together with her clients because every home has a story to tell.

Giving back to her community is important to Colleen. She has over 15 years of local philanthropy and service, holding leadership positions with Parca, Peninsula Family Services and National Charity League.
