Stories, spaces, and ideas from Montana and beyond

Welcome to the Designer Interiors blog. I’m Chanda Wahl. I share real projects, designer tips, and lived-in inspiration from homes and spaces across the Mountain West. You will find western home decor ideas, modern rustic interiors, and Montana home design stories that feel personal, practical, and full of heart.

If you are refreshing a single room or planning a full remodel, I want you to see what is possible. I want you to feel confident in your own style.
