Interior Design

Interior design is more than decorating a space. It is the consideration of function and flow, and creating dynamic spaces through the balance of texture, scale and color. Most of all, it is the physical representation of you and your style. Achieving all that can be overwhelming and having an expert to help refine your direction and guide your decisions can mean the difference between an “okay” space and a space you are thrilled to be in and share with friends and family. 

We can work with what you have, select all new, or focus on somewhere in between. I will actively support your goals, giving feedback as we go along, refining your style sense and function needs to create uniquely personal, cohesive spaces.  

Whether you want help with paint color, furniture moves or updates, art placement, space planning… all benefit from thoughtful planning and design of your interiors to create lasting solutions that celebrate you in your home.

Choose a single consultation, periodic independent consultations, or more in depth involvement for design coordination and implementation, as best fits your needs. Read below for information on Design & Project Management for full support throughout your project.

Consultations are $185/hour, with a one hour minimum.

Remodel Planning & Design

For many homeowners, creating updated and functional spaces in your existing home is more appealing than moving. Perhaps you just purchased a home and it needs work to bring it up to your design and function standards.

I’ve been designing full custom homes, additions and remodels of all sizes since 1993. Whatever your needs, I can help. Most clients have definite ideas of what they want to achieve, even if they’re not sure how to fit it all in and look amazing. From floor plan drawings or full plan sets, to single consultations for layout brainstorming, to selecting finishes or full project management, The Designer’s Eye is the right place to be. You choose your level of support.

For more information on full project management, read more below. Your goals are my top priority even as I partner with trusted builders and trades to bring your high quality vision to life.  

Not sure what you want or need? We’ll find the amount of support that is just right for you.

Consultations are $185/hour, with a one hour minimum.

Design & Project Management

Design Management if full of lots of little decisions. Having a coordinate to manage all that sourcing, narrowing down options, and finalizing selections in partnership with you can make all the difference. 

Project Management when there is construction work to be done can be just as challenging, and having someone wholly on your side as decisions are made and work is done can be a great relief for time as well as stress. 

Design and Project Management Services are presented as a detailed scope of work crafted just for you, with a flat fee for two options: one that is designer led and one that is client led.  

* Must have had a one hour in-person consultation before this service can be engaged. If out of state, a one hour video consultation will often work.

 Initial consultations are $185/hour, with a one hour minimum.

Architectural Plan Review

Creating beautiful homes is a team effort. Working with talented architects or drafters to build the home of your dreams is a great start.

For new custom homes, remodels or additions, bringing in an interior designer only makes that better. And a designer who has the construction knowledge and experience of creating full plans for custom homes, remodels and additions since the 1990s, gives you a winning team.

Even expertly prepared plans benefit from another set of expert eyes. This second look (or more) will allow a new perspective with the goals of making sure your voice is heard down to the tiniest detail. We will review function and flow alongside your style goals. A review at any point in the planning process will avoid buyer’s remorse and save you costly changes during the build phase.

A one hour consultation with the plans in front of us will provide immediate peace of mind.

House Sharing Programs

Financial independence. Companionship. Building home equity. Downsizing while staying in your home. Funding upkeep and home improvements, travel… there are lots of reasons you may want to make better use of the space in your current home. And how lucky you are to have an asset that can be used to provide these solutions.

Your home may or may not be debt free, and that’s okay. With this comprehensive program, we will examine all the options and find the best approach for you. 

What happens at a consultation? We’ll look at your home, discuss your goals, explore layout options for fully private or semi-private shared spaces. Your goals for house sharing will be the top priority.

An initial consultation in your home allows us to discuss your needs, problem solve for space planning, and create an action plan for going forward. How To packets are an option that provide in depth, expert guidance on budget considerations, financing options, companionship solutions, expert resources, and more, as you consider this change to the function of your home. As always, solutions will be individualized to fit you and your specific needs. 

Let’s get started on a path to greater freedom in this new phase of life.

 Initial consultations are $185/hour, with a one hour minimum.
