full-service interior design in erie, paMeet BeBe Design House
Welcome to BeBe Design HouseA different perspective on design.
BeBe Design House is a full-service interior design studio based in Erie, Pennsylvania, founded by Nadia Shabanza.
From ground-up construction and full-scale renovations to comprehensive furnishing and styling, we bring creative vision and organised execution together under one roof. Working alongside architects, builders, contractors and trusted trades, we guide everything from interior layouts and architectural details to furniture, art and the finishing touches.
Every project begins with the people who will live, work or gather there. Our work is shaped by their stories, experiences and individual perspectives, creating spaces that feel personal, functional and collected.
Based in Erie, we welcome projects throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York and beyond.

NADIA SHABANZA
Founder of BeBe Design House
Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo and raised in Cleveland, Nadia brings a global perspective to her work, shaped by a diverse background spanning hospitality, business, real estate and design.
Her experience across these industries has given her an understanding of both the creative and operational sides of a project, from developing a vision and working with clients to coordinating the people, decisions and details needed to bring it to life.
As the founder of BeBe Design House, Nadia leads with a belief that the most memorable interiors are deeply personal. Her appreciation for art, culture, music and travel influences her creative perspective, while her business experience brings an organised, hands-on approach to projects of varying scales and complexities.
A story shaped by people, places & perspectives.
Nadia's appreciation for design began long before BeBe Design House. Growing up, she was surrounded by influences that shaped her understanding of creativity, resourcefulness and the importance of making a space feel like home. Her mother, whose influence inspired the name BeBe, played an important role in nurturing that appreciation.
Those early experiences, together with Nadia's upbringing and her journey through different cultures and industries, helped shape the perspective she brings to her work today. From art and music to travel, craftsmanship and the stories behind the objects we surround ourselves with, inspiration comes from everywhere. It's this appreciation for individuality and different perspectives that continues to influence the spaces BeBe creates.

It's where ideas are explored, materials and finishes are brought together, and projects begin to take shape through conversations, presentations and thoughtful planning.
