A Commercial Interior Design Studio

Impact Through Resi-Mercial Interiors!

Banko Design is a boutique interior design studio specializing in senior living, multifamily, and private club communities.

Based in Marietta, Georgia, we partner with owners and developers nationwide.

We are known for delivering thoughtfully designed environments that balance residential warmth with commercial performance: spaces that feel considered, timeless, and perform at every level. Our work is guided by experience, shaped by collaboration, and executed with a level of precision that ensures consistency from concept through final installation.

Our Expertise

Senior Living

We take a resident‑first approach to senior living design. It’s a perspective that prioritizes the people who will live in the space every day, how it supports their routines, their comfort, and their sense of home.

Our work is rooted in creating environments that are both highly functional and quietly refined, spaces that feel familiar, dignified, and enduring. While trends and outside perceptions may shift, we remain focused on what matters most: the lived experience of the resident.

Because at the end of the day, that is who the environment is truly for, and who it is meant to serve.

Multifamily

Our work is defined by a balance of refinement and longevity: spaces that feel considered today and endure well beyond first impressions.

Through a tailored approach to local context and disciplined investment, we shape environments that are both distinctive and lasting. Supporting strong lease-up, sustained occupancy, and a resident experience that remains consistently well received.

Private Club

A thoughtfully designed clubhouse often defines whether a club resonates with its membership. From refined updates to ground-up developments, we create interiors that feel considered, enduring, and appropriately tailored. We specialize in spaces that attract and retain members while remaining timeless, not trend-driven.

That’s just a taste. Want to see more?

Most Interior Design Firms Won’t Do This

“If you can’t find it, build it” has long shaped our approach. When the right solution doesn’t exist, we create it. Deliberately and with purpose.

This way of thinking has led to a fully integrated model, encompassing procurement, product development, and branding, all working in concert. It allows us to maintain alignment, protect design intent, and deliver a level of quality that feels considered at every stage.

Because the best results rarely come from accepting what’s available, they come from building what’s needed.

Innovation sets us apart.

FF&E Procurement

Red Pen Procurement, our in-house procurement team, brings a level of coordination and control that allows purchasing and installation to unfold seamlessly, on schedule, and without unnecessary complication.

Branding & Marketing

We believe the best projects begin with early alignment. When design, branding, and marketing are considered together from the outset, the result is a more cohesive and considered experience across every touchpoint.

Product Development

Through select partnerships, we develop furniture and finish collections tailored to the needs of our projects. When existing options fall short, we create our own, ensuring every element reflects the level of quality and intention our work demands.

OurAwards

  • “They do a great job listening, but also asking the right questions. Pointed questions. They’re not afraid to ask those questions and push back when needed… We really appreciate the fact that [Banko Design] pushes back when needed, and candidly does so. We appreciate that. Feels like more of a partnership.”

    - Ashish Bagley, Development Manager,
    Tribridge Residential

  • “My first interaction with Banko was when they rescued me on another project… I was introduced to Melissa and she stepped right in. I was so impressed by what she pulled off both in terms of the product, the timeliness, just the resource she was that I started using her for most of our interior design work thereafter.”

    - Katherine Mosley, Partner,
    Tribridge Residential

  • “There was a lot of dialogue back and forth and even down to the furniture selection… It was extremely professional from all parties that worked at Banko and working with our team, the architects and the construction folks. It was from the start very professional, very fun, very creative, and just something that once we saw, [we] knew we couldn’t do this project without them.”

    - Dana Ridenour, Assistant Head of School, Finance & Operations, Mt. Pisgah
