Taylorstown is the kind of place people find when they stop looking for a suburb and start looking for something real. It sits in the western edge of Loudoun County just over the Frederick County line — rolling farmland, older homes with actual history, and a landscape that hasn’t been flattened and subdivided into sameness. People who live there chose it because they wanted something different. And a lot of them eventually realize their interiors haven’t caught up with everything else they love about the place.
Zoltan Design Co is a Frederick, MD-based interior designer serving clients in Taylorstown and throughout the surrounding region. We work with homeowners who have spaces that aren’t living up to the homes they’re in — and who want a clear plan for fixing that, not a mood board and a wish list.

Homes in and around Taylorstown range from old farmhouses that have been updated over generations to newer builds on larger lots that buyers chose for the land as much as the house. Both types come with their own design challenges.
Older homes in this area often have rooms that were designed around a different way of living. Formal parlors that nobody uses. Choppy layouts that made sense before open-plan became standard. Original details worth preserving mixed with updates that happened at different times and never quite came together.
Newer builds on rural lots have a different problem. The house is fine structurally but the builder-grade finishes inside feel completely disconnected from the property outside. High ceilings and big windows that should make rooms feel amazing, but generic fixtures and standard-issue everything that keeps them from getting there.
Both situations benefit from the same thing: someone who looks at the whole picture, figures out what the space actually has going for it, and builds a plan around that instead of just dropping in whatever’s trending.
We offer full residential interior design for clients in Taylorstown and the greater Frederick area. Here’s what that looks like across each of our main service areas:
We start every project by working out how the space should function — not just how it should look. That means detailed floor plans covering furniture scale, traffic flow, sight lines, and clearances. For homes with unusual layouts or rooms that have changed purpose over time, this step is where we figure out what’s actually possible before a single thing gets moved or ordered.
Color decisions are harder in rural homes with strong natural light and views of the landscape outside. What reads as neutral in a suburban house can look completely different when you’re surrounded by fields and trees. We test samples in your actual space at different times of day and build a palette that works with your light, your finishes, and the world outside your windows — not against them.
We source through trade accounts that give us access to furniture and furnishings most homeowners never see at retail. Better construction, more options, and pricing that’s frequently competitive with what you’d find on your own. We also do the dimensional work — every piece gets checked against your floor plan before it’s ordered, so scale mistakes get caught on paper instead of on delivery day.
Taylorstown isn’t far from Frederick — under thirty minutes depending on where you are. We come out for consultations and site visits, so the distance isn’t a real barrier. We also know the vendors, workrooms, and contractors who service this part of the region, which makes a meaningful difference when you need things measured, installed, or coordinated on a real schedule.
We’re a small studio by design. Zoltan works every project from the first conversation to the day everything goes in. No handoffs, no junior designers managing your project while someone else takes the credit. You get the same person throughout, which tends to produce better results and fewer surprises.
We also don’t push a signature look. Taylorstown homes aren’t all the same and your project shouldn’t look like everyone else’s. We spend time at the start figuring out what you actually respond to and build the design direction from there.
We serve residential clients in Taylorstown and throughout the Frederick and Loudoun County region.
No — and honestly, the original details are usually the best thing about older homes in this area. We work with them, not around them. A well-designed room in an old house should feel like it belongs there, not like someone dropped a catalog interior into a historic shell.
Not at all. Most clients come in with a general feeling rather than a defined style. We spend time at the start of every project understanding what you actually respond to — not just what you pin online, but what feels right in person. The design direction comes out of that conversation, not out of a style quiz.
Single rooms typically run two to four months from consultation to installation. Larger projects or whole-home work runs six months to a year. Custom furniture lead times are the biggest variable — eight to sixteen weeks is common. We account for that from the start so the timeline is clear, not something that keeps shifting.
