David Lyall Design is more than just a business; it's the evolution of a family legacy.

It all started back in 1979, when David’s parents, Walter and Linda Lyall, founded Buck Home Furnishings in rural Southern Lancaster County. The store quickly became known for its commitment to quality, offering a wide range of fine furniture that made it a go-to destination throughout central Pennsylvania.

In 2005, David took the reins of the business, expanding its offerings with professional interior design services and an elevated selection of upscale products. Wanting to create a fresh vision, David relocated the business in 2015 to a historic tobacco warehouse in Lancaster City. With the new location came a new name – David Lyall Design – and a renewed mission to blend timeless style with modern sensibility.

OUR HISTORY

A decade later in 2026, David Lyall Design moved to a stunning, new, light-filled space in a former city firehouse at 202 North Duke Street. This unique location now houses an expansive design studio and a stunning display area filled with beautiful furniture, art, and accents sourced locally and from around the globe. Not just limited to furnishings, David Lyall and his team offer professional services in all aspects of design. From an update of a single room, to an entire home or commercial space including new build design services, quality hand-crafted cabinetry and custom kitchen and bath remodels.

Throughout all these changes, David and his design team have stayed true to the values that made the family business a success. They’re still rooted in the same commitment to quality and service that has been their hallmark for decades, and they continue to design client projects throughout central Pennsylvania, the mid-Atlantic and beyond.
