Groundbreaking at The Parisi
Beyond the Builder Finish: Flourish Interiors & The Parisi
There is something exciting about moving into a brand-new property. Everything is fresh, thoughtfully constructed, and ready for a new chapter. But once the boxes are unpacked and the keys are in hand, there is still one important step: making the space feel like your own.
That is where Flourish Interiors comes in.
We are honored to be a trusted design partner for The Parisi, a brand-new residential condo development near the campus of The University of Notre Dame. Flourish Interiors will be providing model staging and then serving as a resource for homeowners as they begin customizing and furnishing their near campus properties.
While Flourish was not responsible for the architectural design or original selections for The Parisi, we have the opportunity to help homeowners take those beautiful foundations and layer in the elements that make a house feel truly personal.

Your Home Is the Starting Point
A new construction home provides the perfect canvas. The finishes, architecture, and floor plan establish the foundation but the furnishings, textiles, art, technology, and personal details are what ultimately tell your story and make it feel personal
Our goal, at Flourish Interiors, is to make that process feel exciting and seamless.
Rather than piecing together your property one room at a time, Flourish can help you look at the entire residence as a cohesive design. We consider how you live, how you entertain, what you love, and how each room should function together.
Flourish Interiors Makes Setting Up a Near Notre Dame Property Stress Free
Many buyers, purchasing properties around the University of Notre Dame, are looking to set up non-primary residences. When someone purchases a primary residence, they may have sufficient furnishing to move in with. However, the typical Flourish client, who is setting up a property by campus, has a particular pain point: they are often starting with nothing. From furnishings to functional items, all of it needs to be designed, sourced, ordered, unboxed, assembled, installed, and styled. That can be an overwhelming project to undertake for those who live out of state and have busy schedules to contend with. Not to mention, when they fly into South Bend, the last thing they want to do is set up a new home. They would much rather spend time with their child who is a student, catch up with alumnae friends, or attend football and other sporting events.
Our team at Flourish Interiors is passionate about helping make this process stress free. Our expertise and refined process allows us to help clients set up condos, townhomes, or near campus residences from start to finish. We can help space plan, suggest any customizations and upgrades, design and source furniture and accessories, and even help with other functional aspects of the home as well. Let us help with everything from receiving deliveries to installing window treatments. With our help, the process can go from a big project to a totally turnkey experience. Read below for more detail on some specific services we can help with:
Thoughtful Furnishings & Design Upgrades
Furnishing a Parisi unit may look a little different for each family. Some property owners may be looking for truly bespoke and custom furnishings, while also hoping to upgrade the residence with wallpaper, additional decorative lighting, and layered decor. Our Flourish design team specializes in creating unique, one of a kind designs and will help source all the elements to make your South Bend property a special place to call home here in Indiana. Other owners at The Parisi, may be taking advantage of the project’s open policy on rental income by using the property for themselves but also as an air b and b or rental income producing property. In this event, Flourish is also equipped to help approach the furnishing and set up with that goal in mind. We have worked with many rental income property owners, and know how to balance attractive furnishings and decor, with a more practical approach. We can make this process stress free, by also leveraging one of our many checklists for rental properties. From a fully functioning kitchen to having extra linens on hand, we know how to set up these properties to function well for you and your potential tenants. Regardless of it’s final function, Flourish Interiors is ready and able to help owners take the empty shell after closing to a beautiful, turn key residence. Our team helps every step of the way, such that you can fly into The Bend and have a hotel like experience but with the comforts and convenience of your own property and selections.
Window Treatments That Complete the Space
Window treatments are often one of the final details homeowners consider but they can completely transform a room. Custom drapery, Roman shades, solar shades, blackout solutions, and motorized treatments can provide privacy and light control while adding softness, texture, and architectural interest. Flourish can help homeowners determine what each room needs and create window treatments that complement the overall design rather than feeling like an afterthought.
Beautifully Integrated AV & Technology
Today's homes are designed around the way we live and technology is a major part of that. From televisions and audio systems to home theaters, smart-home features, lighting controls, and motorized shades, technology should make life easier without taking away from the beauty of the home.
Flourish can help homeowners coordinate these elements with the overall design, creating solutions that are functional, sophisticated, and thoughtfully integrated.
A Trusted Design Partner for Your Next Chapter
Purchasing a new home is a significant milestone. The process of furnishing and personalizing it shouldn't feel overwhelming.
As a trusted partner for The Parisi homeowners, Flourish is here to help make that next step easier.
Whether you need help furnishing one room, outfitting the entire residence, selecting custom window treatments, coordinating AV and technology, or simply adding those final layers that bring everything together, our team can help guide the process from concept to completion.
The Parisi provides the beautiful foundation. Flourish helps make it yours.
We look forward to helping homeowners create spaces that are not only beautiful, but thoughtfully designed around the way they live.
