Designer Profile

“It's important for people to be surrounded every day by things they love -- a favorite piece of artwork, a family heirloom, photos that produce memories of favorite times. Inspired by these treasured items, I’m given the opportunity to highlight every client’s personal style and create unique living spaces that are at the same time elegant and functional.”

Colleen Moscone, ASID, is a 1993 graduate of Michigan State University, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Human Environment and Design.

Colleen seeks to provide clients with a pleasant, personable, professional experience, and uses her skills to manage projects effectively and achieve their goals with enthusiasm and resourcefulness.

Colleen is a partner in In:Detail Design: Build, the Oakland County-based interior design and custom construction firm. In:Detail is a sought-after resource for discriminating homeowners who want to renovate or expand their living spaces. Along with her partner, licensed builder Mike Alessio, Colleen specializes in custom lower levels, kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, wet bars, wine cellars, custom window treatments, space planning, material and finish specifications and project management.

“We pay very special attention to our client's time AND money. Our vast network of remodeling and construction contractors – which gives us the advantage of hands-on management of an entire project from start to finish -- helps make the entire process easier to live with.”

Colleen became a professional member of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) in 2005. That same year, she received the Detroit Home Design First Place Award for her wine cellar design in 2005.

Before opening her firm, Colleen studied interior design and architecture in Europe and worked for the Chicago office of Morgan Stanley-Dean Witter as an Interior Designer. With Morgan Stanley-Dean Witter, Colleen tackled large projects that required study of all aspects of a structure. The experience gave her exposure to space planning, budget management, design development, consultations and negotiations with vendors, and project coordination. Her time in Chicago also introduced her to the expectations of aggressive schedules – an advantage she offers her clients today.

In 2003, Colleen opened Statements by Design and along with Alessio Custom Interiors provided professional design and build services to clients in Oakland County. This past year, in 2011, the two companies merged to become In:Detail Design:Build.

“I enjoy designing both mid-century interiors and ‘cleaned-up classic’ traditional spaces. A mix of elegance and functionality is my favorite design mode, but my true inspiration comes from my clients.”

Awards & Publications

Detroit Home Design Awards - Wine Cellar - First Place

The original great room was very large and impersonal. The client envisioned a warm, inviting space for their growing family to gather and reconnect after a long day. Inspired by a leopard pecan ottoman, a warm color palette and rich cherry paneling were chosen. To maintain spectacular views of the lake, traversing draperies were used on the windows. Filled with traditional elegance, this room is where family memories are made. Milford, MI Don Schulte Photography
The gathering room fireplace is a focal point for this conversation and entertainment area with its custom mantel, stone facing and decorative pillars flanking the large-screen plasma television. The large sofa and side chairs form a comfortable conversation area for large gatherings. Jeff Garland Photography
This intimate family room features walnut wood paneling and a ledge stone fireplace. The room only measures 12 x 16 but we were able to accommodate an 8' wide sofa and two lounge chairs to create the conversation area that the client desired. To brighten the space we added a touch of blue and beige in the oil painting above the fireplace and exquisite wool area rug. Don Schulte Photography
A complete demolition of the existing kitchen was the first step in remodeling. New cabinets, solid surface counter tops and fabulous lighting fixtures complete the look. West Bloomfield,MI Teeple Photography

This small kitchen has a complete array of gourmet appliances with plenty of countertop for food prep. The big farm Tuscany sink makes the most of the space at the window. The space is a u-shaped galley with more countertop space a big refrigerator to the left of the sink. The beautiful wood floor is set on a diagonal to make the space seem larger.

A bath with luxe appointments and an eco-friendly outlook with a low-flow rain shower design and a water-saving toilet. The wall treatment is inspired by venetian plaster with a bronze-gold metallic finish. The vanity stands like furniture on carved legs and corner posts with raised panel doors.

This guest bedroom just off the foyer required a stunning yet durable bedding ensemble and a timeless color palette. The tie-back draperies create a symmetrical balance on the focal point wall. The seeded glass chandelier adds unexpected drama to the space. Oakland County Don Schulte Photography
