Your Guide to Working With a Design Studio: Inside Siren Betty Design
Curious about what it’s like to work with a nationally recognized interior design studio? At Siren Betty Design, we believe great spaces begin with curiosity and collaboration.

Every hospitality project is unique, but most unfold across several phases: concept development, schematic design, documentation, procurement, and installation. At Siren Betty Design, restaurant interiors typically take six to nine months from initial concept to opening, while boutique hotels or multi-level venues may extend to a year or more depending on scope and construction schedules. Our national team coordinates closely with architects, builders, and ownership groups to keep timelines efficient without sacrificing the creative integrity that defines our work.

Hospitality interiors are designed to create experiences for hundreds of guests daily, while residential design focuses on deeply personal comfort and functionality. Hospitality design demands durable materials, ADA compliance, and brand storytelling; residential spaces emphasize intimacy, lifestyle, and emotional resonance. At Siren Betty Design, we draw inspiration from both, bringing the soul and warmth of home to public spaces and the sophistication of hospitality into private residences.
-
Our process begins with discovery, understanding your concept, goals, and operational needs. We translate that vision into design concepts, material palettes, and floor plans that reflect your brand identity. Next comes documentation, procurement, and coordination with architects and contractors nationwide. Communication remains central throughout: our clients receive ongoing updates, digital presentations, and full transparency. The result is a seamless, creative partnership that delivers extraordinary design on any scale.

Material and furniture selection begins with narrative and durability. Each hospitality project demands finishes that withstand daily wear while supporting the space's story and mood. We source globally, from custom millwork and local artisans to vintage lighting and curated art, to create layered environments that feel collected, not staged. Sustainability, longevity, and brand resonance guide every choice we make.
-
We view our clients as creative collaborators. Some prefer to be hands-on through every design presentation, while others trust our team to lead the vision. We tailor communication accordingly, offering milestone reviews, material samples, and progress updates. Transparency and trust drive every partnership, because when a client’s insight meets our expertise, the result is a space that feels both purposeful and personal.
