Steve boasts over 30 years of design expertise and enjoys helping his clients discover the ‘perfect look’. His personal style is more traditional; however, he enjoys designing contemporary styles by mixing family-antiques with fashionable sofas, seating and accessories for an eclectic look: A way to successfully utilize the pieces you love and achieve a modern statement.
Furniture styles have morphed over the years; however, timeless styles always seem to make a comeback. A dark cherry piece can be used with light neutral fabrics that can make a dramatic, united theme in a room.
A friend and I met with Steve on January 15, 2025, and I ended up ordering a whole new living room set: sofa, chairs, ottoman, cushions, rug, two tables, and two lamps. We had discussed my basic needs back in the fall, when I was on the waiting list at a retirement community in Rockville, MD. The January meeting was mainly for fabric selections, but we also added the perfect area rug and a gorgeous green lamp. Steve’s sense of color and design, combined with his vast experience, made the choices easy. He was responsive to my requests, and I had complete confidence that all the pieces would fit the space and work well together. He made excellent recommendations based on my floor plan and my personal preferences. I could not be more delighted!

Steve has been a pleasure to work with, as we furnished our new home in Rehoboth. Very knowledgeable, creative, thorough and patient. He suggested locations for our prized furniture, art and rugs, and offered various options that we could add. He was very conscientious about our budget and came to our house several times to handle measurements and details. We recommend him highly.

Our experience with Creative Concepts has been absolutely amazing. From the initial visits and working with Steve, the process was easy and the Lexington Furniture we ordered amazing. Steve’s design input exceeded our expectations. The delivery team was amazing and were able to deliver and setup our furniture despite a very challenging staircase. They get an 11 out of 10 for their hard work and professionalism to perfectly deliver without any damage. Would highly recommend Creative Concepts to anyone looking for furniture.
