MEET DEB,
The Calm Behind the Beautiful


Deb Garvin
Interior Designer
Best of Houzz Winner Design & Service
Certified Color Expert™
A Minneapolis interior designer truly passionate about making homes work functionally and beautifully.
Deb joins the Happy Place Interiors design team after more than eight years of owning her own interior design firm in the Twin Cities area. During that time, she earned awards, built a loyal client base, and refined her talent for creating beautiful, functional homes. We are thrilled to welcome her experience and collaborative spirit to our team of interior design consultants.
As an experienced interior designer and home decorator, Deb is passionate about creating spaces that function well, look beautiful, and feel genuinely welcoming. She believes great interior design should support real life — helping homeowners love where they live every day.
She brings approachable, client-centered mindset to every interior design consultation. Deb makes it easy for homeowners to share ideas, weigh in on decisions, and feel confident as their space comes together. From living rooms and kitchens to bedrooms and home offices, she helps clients create cohesive interiors that reflect their personality and lifestyle.
We’re excited for our clients to experience Deb’s thoughtful approach, strong design eye, and ability to turn “something feels off” into “this feels like home.”
Debra helped bring our vision for the baby nursery to life. Since we had hired painters, choosing the right color was crucial—it would have been terrible to finish the project and realize I didn’t love it. Debra guided us through the process and helped us choose the perfect color. We absolutely love the nursery, and she was amazing to work with. I highly recommend hiring her if you want help selecting the perfect color.

Deb has been wonderful to work with as we proceeded through several home remodeling projects. She has helped us with colors, rugs, bedding, and pretty much everything else. Giving us ideas to bring to the stores to help with our decision.
Everything we've done with her has turned out to be just what we had hoped it would be and we are loving the end result.
