About MODO Design Lab

MODO Design Lab is an interiors consulting studio based in Providence, Rhode Island. The work is about seeing what your home wants to become, then creating it through careful choices and layered details until it feels like it has always belonged to you.

The design style is Tailored Retreat: refined but relaxed, built on menswear palettes, lodge texture, vintage character, and quiet luxury. The result is design with soul. Personal, lived-in, and timeless enough to love twenty years from now.

MODO clients come for direction and stay for the relationship. This is consulting that removes decision paralysis and replaces it with confidence, momentum, and a home that finally makes sense.

MODO Client Code

  1. Soul over trends. If it will look like clutter in 5 years, it does not belong in your home.

  2. Confidence over chaos. Every decision should reduce noise and increase clarity.

  3. Collected, not decorated. A home is built through layers, stories, and editing.

  4. Beauty must work. If it cannot hold up to real life, it is not good design.

  5. Respect the craft. Tradespeople are part of the art. We collaborate with skill and integrity.

  6. Honest timelines. Great spaces take time. We plan like grown-ups.

  7. Decide, then move. We choose well and keep going.

  8. Fit matters. Scale, proportion, placement make the difference.

  9. Old things carry weight. Character cannot be ordered from a catalog.

  10. Start with the pretty stuff. It gets us to clarity faster.

What People Are Saying

"Taylor's creative talent was apparent from our very first meeting. His ability to translate ideas into a fully thought out vision made for a smooth process and a final result that exceeded our expectations."

"What stands out most about Taylor's approach is his ability to move beyond surface-level aesthetics. He builds from a conceptual framework, whether through fabric selections, color palettes, or innovative finishes, to create spaces with depth and character." 

-Warren Weixler, WarrenDoes (formerly SWATCHROOM)

"Taylor has a remarkable eye for architecture, materials, and detail. He recognizes the true potential of a space long before most people can, and his ability to refine with taste and confidence sets him apart from other designers."
