REMODEL INTERIOR DESIGN IN GREATER CLEVELAND
Interior designer for Cleveland and Northern Ohio
I am NOT a Design Build Company. I partner with architects, contractors, vendors, and homeowners in Greater Cleveland, other Ohio communities and beyond.
My job as an interior designer and home design specialist is to listen, evaluate, and translate my clients' aesthetic goals and functional needs into spaces that are beautiful, efficient, and enjoyable to live in. Basically, I help people carve out a little piece of Heaven here on Earth. Sometimes that’s a home in Cleveland, Ohio or another interior design project on Concord Township.
My interior design services start with getting to know you, identifying the scope, orchestrate the process, and let the creativity flow. A professional interior designer needs to be both artistically strong and technically savvy. Evaluating room layouts (space planning), architectural detailing (built–ins, millwork, architectural features), lighting/electrical, finish selections, home furnishings, and finishing touches are some tasks a designer provides to execute the final vision.
Speaking of a vision, one of the greatest challenges a designer has is communicating the design to the client. Renderings and drawings are part of our process. And now, we are very excited to offer VR experiences with our projects. We can put you inside the design to experience it. If you have trouble with visualization, this is a game changer.
Why Home Design Matters Before Remodeling
The most successful remodeling projects begin with a comprehensive home design plan. By resolving layout issues, storage needs, lighting requirements, and finish selections before construction starts, homeowners can reduce costly changes and move through the remodeling process with greater confidence.
Where do you begin?
When beginning an interior remodeling project, often the question is with what professional do you start with? So often, homeowners reach out to a contractor. Nothing wrong with getting the conversation started, however a contractor really can’t do anything, even give a ballpark estimate without plans and specifications. When potential clients call me with an interior remodel project, we discuss the type of project. If it involves structural issues; i.e. an addition, I usually recommend that an architect be brought in. I can refer or the homeowner can bring their architect. If the project is not very invasive, the design process starts with the interior designer.
Very common remodel projects:
-
Main floor common area: kitchen, great room, mudroom….all those interconnected spaces. I never assume the existing layout is the optimal layout.
-
Master suite
-
Basements
-
Additions (typically including the kitchen)
