ABOUT
Most of our clients come to B3 because they’re ready to feel differently about their home. They want to be proud of it, feel completely at ease living in it, and be excited to invite people in. They want something sophisticated and deeply personal, not just beautiful rooms that could belong to anyone. For me, that’s where great design begins.
I love classic forms, but find them most compelling paired with something modern or unexpected, a contemporary counterpoint that gives a room dimension. The result is elevated, current, and bespoke, designed around the people who actually live there.
But what makes a home truly luxurious goes deeper than aesthetics.
Years ago, while raising my three sons, I went through a debilitating autoimmune illness and learned firsthand how much our environment can affect how we feel. At different points, I needed different things from my own home: areas that supported healthy habits throughout the day, materials I felt comfortable living with, and spaces that gave me the tools to recover.
That experience ultimately led me to become a certified holistic health coach and to pursue WELL AP certification, developing expertise in the relationship between wellbeing and the built environment. When it matters to a client, that thinking, wellness, longevity, sustainability, sensory needs, moves to the forefront. When it doesn't, that support is simply part of the design itself, quietly shaping how a space feels, physically, mentally, and emotionally, to live in either way.

PRINCIPAL
What clients don’t always see is everything happening underneath that experience: careful stewardship of their investment, countless details coordinated behind the scenes, and clarity brought to a process that can otherwise feel overwhelming. My background in high-level corporate relationship management shaped that side of B3: clear communication, transparency, and genuine stewardship of our clients’ time and money.
Generosity, humility, and excellence shape how we work, with clients, architects, contractors, and one another. We believe the best projects happen when everyone at the table feels respected. The finished home should be extraordinary. Getting there should feel pretty good, too.
Our designs are elevated; our attitude is not.
TESTIMONIALS
"Working with B3 was a dream- seamless, fun, with a great outcome! From the start, Beverly was very thoughtful in her approach and implementation of the design process. The initial meeting was very eye opening as we had never done such a big project, but Beverly walked us through the assumptions and we became comfortable with everything. After that, it was amazing to see Beverly and her team make it happen. They stayed within budget and were very flexible and creative with places where we wanted to go high/low so we could save money for the finishing touch elements like wallpaper and personalized artwork that has really made our home our own. I'm still surprised at how much the home meets the original question of "how do you want your home to feel" which Beverly focused on from the start. On top of all that, everyone was a delight to work with and every interaction was very positive. I highly recommend B3 Design for anyone going through a design project, big or small."

"Beverly just has a way with people. She’s positive, patient, pleasant and so easy to work with. When I met with Beverly, I had a few ideas for what I wanted her to focus on. She really listened to me and captured every detail of what we discussed. But she also presented ideas that took the design to the next level. Her instincts are always right. Working with Beverly was truly great. I always felt like she was on top of everything and that she cared deeply about the outcome.”

“Beverly Brokaw has worked as an interior (and exterior) designer for my family on and off for over 8 years and over that time has re-decorated almost every room in my house. She has gone above and beyond in every way possible. She has taken on large projects including a kitchen renovation and the addition of a mudroom, as well as smaller ones, such as powder-room redo. She approaches every project (no matter how big or how small) with a can-do attitude and 100% effort. Beverly has impeccable taste (evidenced by the numerous compliments and requests for her name and sources), and brilliant and creative ideas, without losing sight of what is practical and best suited to her client’s lifestyle. She is always conscious of my budget without concern for the fact that lower costs mean less mark-up for her.
In addition to her exceptional design talent and professionalism Beverly is truly an extraordinary individual. She is a warm and truly gracious person who is a pleasure to be around. She puts on no airs and has never made me feel like I "should" choose the more expensive solution. In an industry fraught with questionable billing practices, Beverly is 100% transparent and trustworthy. Before I used Beverly I had used two different interior designers. Both made me feel pressured to make certain decisions and didn't really try to understand my lifestyle. After concluding that I didn’t like the style of the first, and being over-billed by the second, I was gun-shy. A friend recommended Beverly to me and I am forever thankful.
I have no doubt that Beverly will be successful at any endeavor she sets her mind to. She is a passionate individual and an exceptional multi-tasker and has a remarkable ability to work with all different types of people. She transitions seamlessly from clients to contractors to salespeople to electricians and is able to get the best out of all of them. In short, Beverly is a true find.”
