Design With Heart

Colorado native and founder of Clydesdale Interiors, Jalen Cavanaugh, brings a distinct dedication and fresh perspective to his world of interior design.

Our homes are spaces that reflect us: our personalities, our lifestyles and our aesthetics. We delight in comfortable spaces that just feel right. It’s this intersection of design and emotion that Clydesdale Interiors meets its clients. 

Jalen Cavanaugh is a Colorado native with an acute talent for guiding his clients through the home design of their dreams. For more than seven years, he’s developed his presence in the industry to one of supreme quality and trustworthy service. His passion for design can be felt from the start of a project.

"Honestly, it was more my mom who pushed me to interior design," he recalls. While still in high school, Jalen ran a small business selling Christmas and fall wreaths. His breakthrough came during his junior year when he interned at an interior design firm in Denver. 

"I just fell in love with the residential aspect of it and making someone's home become their dream home," he explains. After years of professional experience, he was ready to do something of his own. 

Jalen founded Clydesdale Interiors in February 2020. Born out of his desire to create personalized design experiences, the firm offers a personalized service to its clients, ensuring that every project, no matter the budget, receives the same level of care and attention. 

"Our goal is to give you a white glove experience," Jalen emphasizes. This dedication to high-quality service is at the core of Clydesdale Interiors' philosophy. He strives to build genuine connections with his clients, understanding their needs and desires at a fundamental level. 

For Jalen, the design experience is personal. He makes a distinct effort to build trust with everyone he works with to be a strong pillar of care and support during a project.

"Design has a lot of emotions," Jalen explains. His approach involves listening carefully to his clients and paying attention to the details of their lives. "We really try to connect in that way."

One of Jalen's standout projects involved a kitchen renovation for a client in Sedalia, where he skillfully blended various elements with the client's vibrant persona. 

"We made her kitchen timeless but at the same time totally her personality," Jalen recounts. By incorporating unique materials like sage green cabinets and an exotic quartzite countertop, he created a space that was both functional and deeply personal.

Jalen displays a level of professionalism matched by those with decades of history in the industry. His energy is an asset, bringing vibrant perspectives and innovative ideas to his designs. 

"I might be young, but I really do have new and fresh ideas that I can bring to the table," he says confidently. His ability to think outside the box and push both his clients and himself to their greatest potential makes him a rising-star in this arena.

As Clydesdale Interiors looks to the future, Jalen envisions expanding further into the foothills while maintaining the specialized feel of his company. 

"I want it to be more of a boutique company to keep it that small community," he shares.

Jalen’s dedication to earning trust and building genuine relationships, coupled with his innovative design ideas, makes Clydesdale Interiors a standout in the industry. For those in Castle Rock and beyond, Jalen offers not just a service but a transformative experience, turning houses into homes and clients into meaningful relationships.
