Renowned interior designer Jocelyn Chiappone of Newport-based DIGS Design Company is celebrated by Schumacher New England for her signature “Digs mix”—an effortlessly elegant blend of joyful color, vibrant pattern, and timeless sophistication. With a commitment to creating unique, highly customized spaces, Chiappone emphasizes the individuality of each project. “Each project and client is unique, and I take pride in never repeating the same look,” she says. “This business is never boring or expected!”

Jocelyn’s design approach centers around personal connection and emotional impact. “Project reveals are so rewarding,” she shares. “Especially when we see our clients' happy tears on installation day.” Her recent work highlights this passion, from a dramatic staircase adorned in Schumacher’s Horizon Paper Weave to playful details like a games table wrapped in Octavia Sisal in Navy. In a serene primary bedroom, she layers Schumacher’s Colline in Porcelain wallpaper with fabric-covered lampshades to create a sea of tranquil blues.

Her favorite Schumacher pieces hold both professional and personal significance. One cherished fabric even sparked romance: “I suggested this fabric to a client—who later proposed to me and became my husband!”

Whether designing sophisticated coastal retreats or crafting intimate interiors full of personality, Chiappone consistently delivers exceptional, detail-rich spaces that feel both livable and luxurious. This feature from Schumacher affirms Jocelyn Chiappone’s place as one of New England’s most innovative and emotionally resonant interior designers.
