As a proud Best of Raleigh founding Gold Partner, Arhaus Design Services with Donna Verdi and Julie Campbell welcomes homeowners into a world where design becomes deeply personal, beautifully intuitive, and entirely elevated. At their Fenton location, two exceptional designers help clients envision, refine, and transform their homes with artistry and precision.

Meet the Designers Behind the Magic

Donna Verdi and Julie Campbell lead the design program at Arhaus Fenton, and together they are known for turning inspiration into reality. Both bring distinct expertise that blends into a seamless partnership. Donna brings unmatched product knowledge, cultivated through thirteen years with Arhaus, and a deep understanding of the brand’s ethos and craftsmanship. Julie contributes more than thirty five years of experience from running her own design firm, offering advanced spatial planning and 3D rendering skills that help clients visualize their projects in vivid detail.

Their individual strengths create an experience that feels collaborative, thoughtful, and uniquely tailored. Whether navigating textures, colors, or scale, they guide clients toward choices that reflect personal style and functional needs.

How Their Story Came Together

Although each designer carved her own path as a business owner before joining Arhaus, their shared approach is rooted in service, listening, and a belief that every home deserves beauty anchored in intention. Donna’s long tenure with the brand means she knows each collection inside and out, from artisan techniques to customization possibilities. Julie’s technical mastery makes the design process feel clear and exciting for clients who want to see their ideas come to life before the first piece arrives.

Working together, they have built a partnership defined by trust and creative harmony, which their clients feel from the very first meeting.

A Modern Approach to Full Service Design

The Arhaus design process starts with a personal consultation inside the Fenton showroom. Clients bring floor plans, Pinterest boards, budgets, and style inspirations. Donna and Julie study the details, ask thoughtful questions, and begin shaping the vision with guidance and clarity. Using 3D rendering tools, they build lifelike models of rooms that allow clients to preview layouts, materials, and furnishings. This removes guesswork and creates excitement, since clients can explore how each space will look when complete.

No project is too small or too expansive. They can refresh a single room or furnish an entire home. Arhaus also maintains strong inventory availability, and clients who order promptly may even see a whole home furnished in time for major holidays.

Their commitment spans every step of the journey. From initial planning to final installation, Donna and Julie stay closely involved, ensuring that design choices align with quality, style, and the homeowner’s long term needs.

The Arhaus Ethos: Artistry, Sustainability, and Storytelling

Arhaus was founded in 1986 with a simple idea: create furniture that is sustainably sourced, lovingly made, and built to last. That mission continues today. Through global artisan partnerships, Arhaus pieces are crafted by woodworkers in Italy and Mexico, rug weavers in India, and upholstery makers in North Carolina. Materials are reclaimed, recycled, or sustainably harvested whenever possible, from repurposed copper to mango wood from non fruiting trees.

This commitment to environmental stewardship and craftsmanship gives every piece a story. It also connects seamlessly to Donna and Julie’s design philosophy, which values quality, longevity, and the meaningful details that shape a home.

Why Raleigh Feels Like Home

Arhaus chose to expand its manufacturing and distribution footprint in North Carolina because the region is rich in skilled artisanship and design culture. The state is a hub for American made upholstery, and Raleigh’s blend of growth, creativity, and community spirit makes it an ideal place for homeowners who appreciate exceptional design.

For Donna and Julie, Raleigh provides the perfect canvas. The area’s architectural styles, dynamic neighborhoods, and design savvy residents make each project uniquely rewarding.

Looking Ahead: Design That Evolves With You

As Arhaus strengthens its national presence and continues sustainable innovation, the design services team remains focused on creating homes that feel deeply lived in and authentically reflective of their owners. Donna and Julie look forward to more collaborations that push boundaries, honor timeless craftsmanship, and celebrate the way people live today.
