OUR STORY
Emerson House Designs was established by Suzi Brock over 25 years ago. Since then, the firm has won several awards for its work, and elite wallcovering brands have purchased many of its designs.
Emerson House Designs believes every client is unique and deserves a home, space, or feature created just for them.
Although Emerson House Designs is based in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, the firm has decorated homes from Maine to California.
Suzi has lived in New York, Chicago, and California and travels frequently between these locations, as well as England. You can find her spending hours at the many museums, boutiques, and great houses in these locations, soaking up inspiration for the firm’s clients.
As a natural outgrowth of Emerson House Designs’ decorating business, Suzi created Emerson House Wallcoverings. She recognized an opportunity when she had difficulty finding unique papers suited for today’s changing lifestyles and interiors.
Emerson House Wallcoverings is for discerning individuals looking for beauty, color, and elegance…and sometimes an element of whimsy.

“Creating special spaces and homes for people is a passion. We truly enjoy seeing clients happy in their homes. I love the light-bulb moment when we show them a design story we’ve created for them and watch their faces light up.”
– Suzi Brock, founder Emerson House Designs

“Emerson House Designs has done three homes for me and I couldn’t be happier with the work they did. Each home is a reflection of me and how I live. It’s like wearing a beautiful outfit – it looks exquisite, it’s comfortable, and I feel amazing in it.”
