Interior Design at Cushing Terrell
Indoor spaces have a huge influence on our health, well-being, productivity, ability to learn, and so much more. Cushing Terrell’s interior design experts harness this influence not only to create more successful projects for our clients, but also to improve people’s daily lives. We create interior spaces that successfully meet the unique requirements of the end users and enhance the human experience. We support projects across markets, including commercial, education, government, healthcare, multi-family and mixed-use, residential, and retail to provide safe, functional, and accessible, people-centered environments.
Straight from the source:
The buildings exceed all expectations. The feedback from [the teams] was glowing, citing how amazingly inclusive the whole [design] process was, how individuals felt heard (and that their voice actually made a difference) and how proud they now are of their workplace.

Leading Thoughts and Taking Action

Interior spaces have a huge impact on our mental and emotional state, providing a place to experience peace, healing, inspiration, and rest when proper thought is given to their design. We spend such a huge amount of our lives indoors, I think it is so valuable to create places that are safe, healthy, functional, and beautiful.
– Maggie Hardt, Interior Designer, Associate | Billings, MT

Interior design removes the distance between people through connectivity and shared experience, connecting them to their surroundings and allowing relationships to thrive.
– Jessica Murray, Interior Designer | Kalispell, MT

Interior design, to me, is the combination of design and psychology. Not only do we have the power to support healing, productivity, and learning, but we can also help enhance individuals’ overall well-being. According to the EPA, the average American spends 93% of their time indoors, so it is our responsibility to create spaces in which they can thrive, not just survive. Design impacts lives.

Featured Projects
Responsible, User-Centered Design
By marrying user research with collaborative and sustainable design, we make your spaces work for you.
The design process at Cushing Terrell starts and ends with research and along the way engages our many Interior Design areas of expertise including programming, space planning, visualization, building codes and systems, documentation, and project management. We optimize every design with multidisciplinary collaboration, to create integrated, responsible, accessible, inclusive, and above all, human-centric spaces.


Every material matters.
No one expects the buildings where they spend their days to be working against them, but the average adult breathes in more than 4,000 gallons of air each day, and indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air. We’re committed to healthy and sustainable environments, beginning with greening our materials library and joining the Material Bank pilot program for net-zero sampling and continuing through our Design for Freedom advocacy efforts.
It’s time to design for wellness.
Our interior design team aims to positively impact quality of life and culture within the built environment. Through our work, we have the opportunity to influence how people experience their surroundings — how they move through the different spaces they encounter in their daily lives — and it’s incredibly rewarding.
