Our Design Story

Discover the passion and expertise behind Conekin's Interior Accents, where creativity meets craftsmanship to transform your vision into reality.

From Passion to Profession

Founded in 2009, Conekin's Interior Accents began as a dream to help families create beautiful, functional spaces that truly reflect their personalities and lifestyles. What started as a passion project in Clayton Whitaker's garage has grown into one of North Carolina's most trusted interior design firms.

Our journey has been marked by countless transformations - not just of homes and offices, but of lives. We believe that good design has the power to improve daily experiences, enhance productivity, and create lasting memories for families.

Over the years, we've expanded our services and expertise while maintaining our core commitment to personalized service and attention to detail. Every project, whether a single room refresh or a complete home renovation, receives the same level of care and creativity that has made us who we are today.
