Travelers Magazines are now referring to Blue Ridge as the “Aspen of the South.” Blue Ridge, GA is 1.5 hours north of Atlanta, GA, 1.5 hours east of Chattanooga and 2 hours south of Knoxville (these cities have our local airports.)

ABOUT US

StudioTrimble celebrated its 30-year anniversary in 2022 and was founded in 1992 in Atlanta, GA by Cindy Trimble, ASID, RID, NCIDQ. The Studio has been the recipient of numerous local and national design and lifestyle awards in addition to being published in many magazines. StudioTrimble relocated to Blue Ridge, GA in 2002 following the 9-11 National crisis. The firm is and has been the only design Studio in the region with a Registered Interior Designer which has helped the firm secure many high-profile projects.

After relocating to Blue Ridge, the Studio expanded their design services to include not only commercial and residential interior design services, and complete home design services, but grew one of the largest furniture dealerships in North Georgia to be able to provide top quality furniture, furnishing, lighting, flooring, and many other products to their clients. 15 years ago, StudioTrimble introduced our 1st e-commerce website www.thenewrustic.com. Our 2nd e-commerce website is currently under development www.thecoastalhouse.com.10 years ago, the Studio started Blind & Shutter Worx which is a window shade, shutter, blind and window covering subsidiary. 1 year ago, the Studio moved to a new building in downtown Blue Ridge and expanded again to represent several in-house cabinet lines complete with cabinet and hardware displays.

Projects are located primarily in North Georgia, Southeast Tennessee, and Southwest North Carolina however we produce projects across the US. Our project types are very diverse and include both residential and commercial. Residential includes both single family (whole house design - ground up, renovations & expansions) to multi family. Commercial projects include retail, hospitality, mixed use, medical and dental offices, industrial offices, clubhouses, funeral homes and more. Our Studio is unique in that we provide both design and purchasing services to our clients.
