About the Studio

Design with
intention & soul

Candace Wright is the founder and principal designer of Onyx & Oak Studio — a full-service interior design firm built on the belief that exceptional spaces transform how we live, feel, and move through the world.

With roots in high-end residential development across Chicago, Candace brings a rare combination of architectural sensibility and artful curation to every project. Trained formally in interior design, she creates spaces that are simultaneously breathtaking and deeply livable — spaces that feel curated, not decorated.

The Onyx & Oak Difference

Calm confidence.
Bold luxury.

Our design philosophy lives at the intersection of warmth and sophistication. We don't follow trends — we create timeless environments that reflect the unique character of each client.

Every material is touched. Every proportion is considered. Every finish is intentional. The result is a space that feels inevitable — as though it could not have been any other way.
