Our Story

Founder// Daniel Russo

Built on creativity, innovation, and a true love of home, the Daniel Home team designs spaces that feel both timeless and personal. What started at a dining room table has grown into a full-service design studio led by Daniel Russo—CEO & Principal Designer, ASID, NKBA, IDS. Based in Columbus, Ohio, the firm has gained national attention through features in leading publications and museum exhibitions.

At Daniel Home, design is a collaborative journey. Every project begins with a conversation and grows into something special. Using 2D and 3D renderings—and even virtual reality—clients can step inside their new space before it’s been brought to life. From kitchens and baths to custom furniture, lighting, wall coverings, and even finishing touches with home scenting and décor, every detail is carefully considered and tailor-made.

Through every project, the team remains focused on what matters most: creating beautiful, functional spaces that reflect the people who live in them.

The Design Dream Team: Daniel, Ellie, and Caden

At Daniel Home, our team is united by a shared passion for creating spaces that feel as personal as they are beautiful. We believe the best designs come from listening first, understanding each client’s lifestyle, vision, and story before shaping it into a space that feels uniquely theirs.

Every project is a true collaboration. Our designers blend creativity with precision to deliver results that are both functional and inspiring. With cutting-edge tools like 3D renderings and immersive VR previews, we invite clients to experience their future homes before the first piece is installed—making the design journey exciting, transparent, and stress-free.

From tailored furniture and custom finishes, no two Daniel Home interiors are the same. Each design is bespoke, crafted to reflect the individuality of the people who live in it. Above all, our team is committed to delivering not just exceptional interiors but a design experience built on trust, innovation, and care.
