Since 1995
The Story of Amanda Webster Design
For over thirty years, Amanda Webster Design has helped families in Ponte Vedra Beach and the surrounding beaches turn houses into homes that reflect how they truly live.
Amanda Webster founded the studio in Jacksonville Beach in 1995, and she remains its President and Design Principal today. What began with a single conviction has never changed: relationships shape everything. Before a single drawing is made, we take the time to understand a family, their routines, their treasured belongings, the way they gather, because great design balances a person's wants and needs in a way that is both inviting and inspiring. It is never one size fits all.
From our studio at 637 1st Ave N in Jacksonville Beach, we have designed custom homes and full interior renovations throughout Ponte Vedra Beach, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jacksonville Beach, Amelia Island, and select Jacksonville neighborhoods. Thirty years on one coast teaches you things no photograph can: how the morning light comes off the water, what salt air and humidity ask of materials, and how a home must work for sandy feet and open doors.
Along the way, the work has earned ASID award recognition, ten Best of Houzz awards, and features in Florida Design and other publications. We are a Florida-licensed interior design firm, and we work hand in hand with the area's established architects and builders, because the best homes are built by teams that trust one another.
But the story we care most about is the one each family writes in their finished home. Many of our clients have been with us for decades, through second homes, renovations, and new chapters. That continuity is the real measure of the work.
We would love to hear the story you want your home to tell. Learn about our approach or explore the portfolio.

Amanda Webster, Founder, President and Design Principal:
It's very different than just decorating. On a given day, it can be one of a million different things. Every client is uniquely different, so every project is uniquely different. Some of the projects are really small and some of the projects are really large. Some are contemporary, some are traditional.
It's really about talking and starting to build that relationship, and really getting a feel for the personality of our clients. We try to determine what they want out of their home, what they're going for. We're not imposing our style on them. We're really drawing out what they want their home to be and just helping them bring that vision to life.
In order to do that, we start in schematic design, and then we do all the AutoCAD and draw floor plans, electrical plans, furniture plans, whatever is needed for the project. We work hand in hand with the architect and determine the size of the rooms, window placements. We then go into selecting tiles, light fixtures, cabinet hardware, the grout colors, and the sealer and the hinges. Every chair, every sofa, every fabric that's going to go on that sofa and that chair, the rug pads that go underneath the rug. We're talking every single piece that's going to go in that home.
I love what I do. There's so many exciting things about design. When you can take what potentially could be such a stressful time for a family and turn it into exploration and discovery, it really just can be so much fun.
