More than a studio—IBJ is a landmark for timeless coastal living.
Professional, but make it personal.
For over 40 years, Interiors by Joann has been a trusted name in luxury coastal design, crafting homes that bring families together, celebrate tradition, and create lasting memories.
Originally founded in 1976 by Joann Thompson, IBJ has grown from a small studio into Ocean City’s premier interior design and home furnishings destination.
Now under the leadership of Samantha Cury, IBJ is evolving for a new generation—bringing fresh energy, modern vision, and the same commitment to craftsmanship and connection that has defined the firm for decades.
Polished, but
make it playful.
At IBJ, we believe designing a home should be an enjoyable and seamless experience.
From concept to completion, we guide our clients through a collaborative process that blends timeless design with effortless coastal living, ensuring every space reflects the unique way they live, gather, and celebrate life by the shore.
