HELLO. I'M BURCU.
Founder & Principal Designer
Welcome to Design & Curations, where passion, beauty, creativity, and practicality, all come together to design your dream home!
I'm Burcu Ercetin, founder and principal designer of this creative venture. With a marketing background, 15 years of experience, and as a mother of two, I bring a unique blend of expertise to the table.
​
How I Started...
In 2021, I took a leap of faith and began my interior design journey—a long-time passion—while pregnant with my second baby. Enrolled in the Interior Design Institute (IDI), I designed and fully furnished our summer house, my first full-house renovation project. Early mornings, late nights, and countless design assignments later, I graduated from IDI. And here we are!
​
My Mission...
Understanding how our needs evolve with life stages, my mission is to help busy families refresh their homes effortlessly. We achieve this through a clear process, room-by-room fixed design fees, and flexible implementation oversight options—making interior design approachable and simple.
​
How We Help...
At Design & Curations, we believe everyone deserves a beautiful, inviting space. Our hybrid model offers virtual interior design services for clients anywhere and in-person full-service design for those in the Atlanta area.
Using 3D video and render tools, we bring your vision to life with clear communication and a transparent timeline. From concept development to furniture selection, color schemes, finishes, procurement, and hassle-free installation (yes, reveal day is possible!), we work closely with clients to create spaces that are both timely and timeless.
​
Our Goal...
We craft homes that bring joy, tranquility, and a sense of sanctuary—spaces where you can truly live and thrive.
Whether transforming a single room or your entire home, Design & Curations is here to make it happen.

WHAT OUR CLIENT'S SAY
We LOVED the Hybrid Design Service D&C brings to the table
When we started thinking about decorating our home we were worried we wouldn’t be involved in the process… for us it was very important to find a designer that allowed us to flow with the process and interact closely with the them.
​
We LOVED Hybrid Design Service D&C brings to the table because it allowed us to collaborate and feel part of the process while following Burcu’s lead on what was better for our lifestyle.
The in house designer is a great option for small areas the only require small decor details. The process that D&C follows is very comfortable for the customer. They have a well documented schedule with milestones which gave us line of sight to important dates a made us feel the appropriate progress was being made. Burcu is extremely connected with making sure you are happy all the way and the interactive website is a great way to provide feedback every step of the way.
