About Serene Spaces Studio

Custom design rooted in listening, partnership, and bringing your vision to life.

Let's Get Started

Our Story

Serene Spaces Studio was born from a simple belief: your home should be your peaceful place.

After years working in the pool and outdoor living industry, Angela Blanton saw the same pattern repeat itself. Homeowners would come in with a vision, and too often, that vision would get lost along the way. Designer preferences would take priority. Details would slip through the cracks. And at the end of the project, the space felt like someone else's, not the homeowner's. Angela started Serene Spaces Studio to do things differently. Every project begins with listening. What relaxes you? What excites you? What does "home" really mean to you? 

From there, we bring your vision to life through detailed 3D renderings, thoughtful material selections, and hands on coordination with your builder or contractors. We work with homeowners dreaming of their first backyard retreat and builders looking for a reliable design partner for outdoor living spaces, model homes, and client upgrades. Whether it's a pool, an outdoor kitchen, a pergola, or a full indoor remodel, we design spaces that feel like you.

Why Work With Us

Working with Serene Spaces Studio means working with someone who genuinely cares about getting it right. Angela brings years of industry experience, a deep understanding of how outdoor and indoor spaces come together, and a commitment to making the design process feel collaborative, not overwhelming. From the first conversation to the final walkthrough, you'll have a partner who listens, guides, and delivers.
