First opening their doors in 1984, Lynne Maxfield-Cole started Decorating Plus which was a full service interior design firm specializing in major projects as well as designing homes to cater towards all ages and disabilities; universal design. During this time, she was one of the only firms that catered to universal design and has become a specialist in her field. 25 years later, Decorating Plus expanded to serve all of Maine and was starting to also expand in to the Vermont and New Hampshire. Lynne’s experience and inside knowledge of universal design and home improvement, she was featured in publications such as Better Homes and Gardens, Down East and Traditional Home.

Throughout the years, Lynne and her exceptional team has won many awards as well as becoming an accredited and endorsed. Lynne and her team is always improving their skills and looking for new ways to help improve homes and businesses throughout New England. Turning from Decorating Plus to Universal Designz, both teams are always up to the challenge for all commercial and residential spaces and will always come out with the best solutions.


“There are no hard and fast rules in design,” says Lynne. “You and your family need a style that you are comfortable with and Decorating Plus can help you narrow down your preferred style, select products, and provide labor. If what you desire is not in your current budget, we can do the project in phases so you can get what you truly want in finished treatments. We focus on your time and your budget every time to get it done right the first time.”
