About Us:

Simour Interior Design proudly serves clients nationwide. Our designs incorporate beauty and provide comfort, functionality, and flow while representing our client's brand story. We combine the art and science of design to consistently create exceptional, custom spaces.

We create medical offices and spaces that serve as a physical reminder of our clients' noble purpose. As a leader in their field, healing is both their passion and their purpose. Not only should their medical office and space be beautiful, but it should be healing for them, their patients, and their staff. Our designs go beyond beauty to provide comfort, functionality, and flow while representing their brand story. This is how we create spaces that are truly healing.
