PLACE Design Studio & Showroom

The perfect PLACE, indoors and out.

PLACE Design Studio and showroom in Bally is a recent addition to the award-winning and internationally recognized landscaping, interior design and event-executing empire known as PLACE. Set in a former roadside farm market and then a run-down used car lot, PLACE Design Studio & Showroom has become the local “go-to” place for everything design-related, for indoors or out. Scott Rothenberger and his team recreated the space into a lively and chic country modern retail venue with a collection of designer show-house finds interjected with a hint of horticulture. The showroom features one-of-a-kind indoor/outdoor furniture, art, accessories, artisan candles, sculpture, seasonal planters, perennials, succulent arrangements, gifts and more.

PLACE also offers design workshops where participants nibble on hors d’oeuvres and sip refreshments while learning from the best team in the business. Each season presents something fresh and exciting to see or learn.

PLACE is also an event venue: rent the space and have Team PLACE create a special soirée. Open Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m.–3 p.m. or by appointment.
