What an Interior Designer actually brings to your project

Interior design covers more ground than you might expect. It's rarely just "picking a color" — here's the full range of expertise a designer brings to your project.

Organizing

Create a system for closets, cabinets, and storage that actually works for how you live.

"How do I organize this closet so everything actually fits?"

Furniture Selection

Choose furniture that's the right scale and fit for your space.

"Which of these two sofas fits my living room?"

Space Planning

Discover the space in your room you hadn't thought to use.

"How should I arrange my living room furniture?"

Materials & Finishes

Select flooring, tile, countertops, and finishes that work together in texture and tone.

"Does this countertop finish work with my cabinets and floor?"

Paint

Choose a paint color and finish that works with your undertones, lighting, and existing palette.

"What color should I paint my kitchen cabinets?"

Color

Build a cohesive color palette across walls, furniture, and finishes. Color shapes the mood of a room, from calm and grounded to energized and bold.

"How do I build a color palette for my living room?"

Wallpaper

Choose a wallpaper pattern and scale that suits your room.

"Does this wallpaper work with my existing furniture?"

Textiles

Layer rugs, drapery, and fabrics for texture and contrast.

"Which rug size is right for this room?"

Lighting

Layer ambient, task, and accent lighting for balance and mood.

"Where should this floor lamp go?"

Window Treatments

Choose drapery, blinds, and shades that fit your room's style.

"Blinds or curtains for this window?"

Accessories & Styling

Arrange shelves and surfaces with curated objects for visual interest.

"How do I style this bookshelf?"

Art Selection

Choose artwork scaled to your wall and placed where it works best.

"Where should I hang this piece of art?"

Outdoor Living

Furnish and arrange patios, porches, and outdoor spaces for comfort and curb appeal.

"How do I arrange furniture on my patio?"

Product Selection

Get a second opinion on a specific product before you buy — from a light fixture to an appliance.

"I found this pendant light — will it work in my space?"

not sure where you fit?

You don't have to know the category name.

Just describe what's bugging you about your space. Your designer will know exactly which of these areas it falls under — that's their job, not yours.
