Our Story


Photo by Julia Dags

DORSET AND POND is a curated online marketplace for furniture and home goods. We’re here to make your life easier, and your home more beautiful!  As a design service, we are unique in the industry for offering customers both the ease of online design and the guidance and expertise of a custom designer.

Established in 2018 by interior designer, Alicia Sands Tiberio, DORSET AND POND was created in response to what I saw as a growing demand for individualized interiors on a quick timeline. People wanted to create a tasteful home reflecting current design trends, but they also wanted to avoid the cookie-cutter look of a catalog home." 

With the vast array of products on the market today, making the right choice can be both challenging and time-consuming.  To save the client the time and confusion of too many options, DORSET AND POND searches the marketplace for the best choices and value available. From this starting point, we will work to custom curate a space that reflects your personality and style. We are here to help with everything from the smallest selections, to the largest and most detailed projects.

About the owner: Alicia Sands Tiberio has over 15 years of experience in the interior design field. Having worked in antiques-to-the-trade, an internationally acclaimed lighting design firm, and as a senior designer for an award-winning Connecticut-based design firm, she now operates her own custom design business as well as Dorset and Pond. She has undergraduate degrees in art history from Hobart and William Smith Colleges and interior design from The New York School of Interior Design.

I LOVE THE END TABLES ON THE DORSET AND POND WEBSITE, BUT ARE THEY RIGHT FOR MY HOME?  

We can arrange for a simple phone or in-person consultation to help you decide what’s the best style for the room, for your own tastes,  and for the way you live.

MY SON IS OUT OF COLLEGE NOW.  HOW CAN I TURN HIS KID ROOM INTO A COMFORTABLE GUEST ROOM?

Furniture and rug selection, lighting and drapery choice can transform a room to meet a different function.

HOW CAN I USE MY OLD FURNITURE IN MY NEW HOUSE?

Sometimes you don’t need new furniture so much as a complete spatial design.  Let’s talk so I can understand how you use a particular room.  Then through photos or an on-site visit, we can rearrange the furniture you love to look at home in its new space.

I THINK I NEED TO PAINT THE MASTER BEDROOM BUT WHERE TO START?  

Paint selection is a specialty unto itself.  The right color can change the whole mood of the room, making it seem larger or smaller, more open or more cozy, more formal, less formal….you get the idea!

DOES MY  FAMILY ROOM LOOK TIRED AND DATED?

Let’s talk about how you want the room where you spend the most time to look.  Then through furniture, rugs, fabrics (custom or ready made), accessories and lighting, we can achieve the look you want.  You may want to spend even more time here than you already do!

FEES FOR SERVICE:

  • A 15-minute consultation:  free of charge

  • Formal consultation (may include a proposal for furniture, rugs, drapery, lighting and paint or wallpaper):   $250/hour
