Creating Spaces with Soul

Susan Yeley Homes is a full-service residential design firm that brings thoughtful architecture and personalized interiors together under one roof. We work throughout Central Indiana and the Midwest, creating spaces that tell each of our client’s unique story. We believe life is too short not to love your home. 

Our designs are qualitatively different—honoring history, warmth, and artistry over unnecessarily large footprints and trendy finishes. We create homes with the same qualities as our favorite humans: depth, texture, intrigue, light and lightness, color, whimsy, and warmth.

If you are looking for a je ne sais quoi in the vast world of home design–that special something you can't quite put your finger on but makes a house feel warm, inviting, and special—we’ll be a good fit. We do design differently. 

Whether envisioning a custom new build in Indianapolis, renovating a historic Bloomington bungalow, or updating a Michigan lakeside retreat, we ask questions, tune into your needs and tastes, and then design you a home, inside and out, specific to you. We fill our clients’ homes with pieces that are useful, beautiful, and meaningful—curating spaces that feel collected, not merely decorated.

Your Design Journey, Our Expertise

We're your project's biggest champions from first sketch to final pillow fluff. Our team guides you through every aspect of design. Most importantly, we listen. Getting to know you—your joys, quirks, and backstory—is what enables us to cultivate a home you'll truly love.

Our work has been featured in Dwell, Atomic Ranch, and Indianapolis Monthly, but our true measure of success is simple: Do our clients love their homes? They do. And that's what matters most.
