Your One-Room Refresh Journey

When you don’t need a full remodel, but you’d like a refresh to update your space.

A “One-Room Refresh” isn’t as comprehensive as our full interior design services. Instead, for simple refreshes, it provides you with a custom design vision from our skilled interior design team, empowering you to complete to coordination and installation of the design either on your own, or with your selected contractor or builder.

The process begins with gathering details from you (like measurements of your space, rough overall budget, and design inspiration) to give our team the information they need to get started. We meet to confirm your goals, then it’s off to the races! In a matter of weeks, our team presents you with your final Design Packet, complete with the major components you need to reinvent your room.

You walk away with a custom vision to define the overall look & feel of your project, plus a selection of recommended finishes and fixtures that suit your space and meet your aesthetic goals. It’s fun, fast, and perfect for your next home DIY project (or call in a contractor if you prefer!).

Do I need to live in the Seattle area?

We are currently expanding the areas we work to select states outside of Washington. Let us know where you live and we’ll let you know how we can help.

How long does this process take?

The One-Room Refresh process relies on quick turnaround times from both you and us. We plan for a total of 8 weeks, start to finish; however, the timeline may vary based on project objectives, client correspondence timelines, and other variables.

What do I get at the end of the process?

Your final deliverable is a PDF “Design Packet.” In it you'll find concept inspiration images, general layouts and measurements of your space, material and finish recommendations, and a manufacturers list with links to the recommended products.

What if I have more than one room?

If you have more than one room you’re hoping to refresh, reach out to our team. We’re able to bundle One-Room Refreshes, but your project might benefit more from full interior design services.

Do I need to have a contractor?

Some folks prefer to work with a contractor, but a One-Room Refresh is also great for the DIY-er. At the end of our process, we’ll touch base with you to discuss next steps depending on your preference.

Is there a long wait?

The process we’ve designed gets you in and out quickly and efficiently, so you can get to building your project ASAP. Typically, wait times are short, but if you’re on a especially tight timeline, reach out to our team for guidance.
