New on the Bethesda home furnishings scene, Ella Scott Design offers a well-edited mix of art, accessories, lighting, textiles and furniture that sways to the modern side of transitional. The clean and uncluttered store lets eclectic finds take center stage. Standouts range from a leather-base table topped with travertine to a curvaceous banquette in white linen to vintage chairs upholstered in whimsical fabrics. There are also Asian antiques, funky pillows and vases, handmade tableware and contemporary paintings by local artists.
The vision behind the collection is Sandra Turpie Meyer. No stranger to DC-area retail, she and her husband own Marvelous Market. In December, Meyer fulfilled a long-time dream of opening her own home-furnishings store. Her goal is to create a vibe that’s “not so traditional and not so country. The store is new and fresh. And the price points are really reasonable,” she says. Meyer runs Ella Scott Design with her brother, Scott Turpie, and also offers in-home design services.
Shoppers requesting design tips from Ella Scott herself may have to wait a while. Meyer named the store after her daughter, who’s currently six.
