Distinctions from other interiors
are apparent in Top Drawer
designs. Hesitating to adhere
to a modern contemporary
style, Joe describes it as
“contemporary with traditional”,
almost eclectic. “It is a collected
look, “no boxing in.” Completed
Top Drawer interiors range from
“Nashville Funk” to “Waco
Contemporary”, highlighting a
“warmed, not hard-edged” look
with lasting appeal.

Strict contemporary designs have
gained wide appeal due to growth
in high rise and loft developments
which incorporate the same style of
architecture.
Joe suggests interiors that follow architecture can lack character.
“Pieces don’t all have to coordinate”. “The best projects are the ones built over
time”.
Collected styling may even be the heart of the Top Drawer client- centered
approach to design projects.
From its inception in 1989, Top Drawer has
built its reputation on client relationships
and collected looks.  First working out of
his home and traveling to individual
projects in
a truck full of interior pieces, owner Doug
Salzman built Top Drawer through a broad
range of design  services for commercial
clientele. Within 5 years, Joe joined Doug
in
the Dallas showroom with a new focus on
individual clients. Even with the success of
Top Drawer over the years, Doug still drives
out in a truck with pieces for new clients.   
While keeping to its roots in interior design,
Top Drawer has expanded to offer its own
line of furniture. Using Art Deco, with clean
lines the finer details can be seen in wood
entry  pieces, nesting tables and vanities.
Which are imported from Peru and
designed by Doug and Joe themselves.
Collected Style and Contemporary Balance
by Top Drawer Interiors

The major focus of  Top Drawer Interiors style is on collection, building a room or
home with elements from numerous styles. Designer Joe Donahue believes,
the collected style keeps everything from becoming too co-ordinated, “too
theme-like and too matching”

In the future, Joe sees interior design trends moving toward blown
glass and organic accent pieces to strike a balance with the hard
edges and clean lines of contemporary design.
