Interior Design Concepts

Interiors planned before the walls go up.

Mood boards, material and color palettes, and interior wall elevations that turn a look you like into decisions your builder can price and build.

Most people start with a feeling: a few saved photos, a kitchen they saw once, a cabin they stayed in. An interior design concept turns that into something specific. Which wood, which stone, which tile, what the kitchen wall actually looks like with your appliances in it, and how the old part of the house ties into the new.

We put this together alongside your floor plans, so the interior and the structure get worked out at the same time. A vaulted ceiling, an arched opening, or a loft railing shows up in the drawings and in the concept, and both agree.

What this can include

Every project is scoped individually. Depending on what you need, an interior concept can draw from:

  • Interior design questionnaire covering how you live, cook, host, and store things
  • Mood board built from your inspiration images, room by room
  • Materials and finishes palette: flooring, cabinetry, counters, tile, stone, hardware, lighting
  • Color palette with named colors and where each one goes
  • Written design direction your builder and suppliers can follow
  • Interior wall elevations: kitchens, bathrooms, fireplaces, built-ins, mudroom lockers
  • Cabinet and appliance layout with dimensions
  • 3D interior renderings

Interior wall elevations

An elevation is a straight-on drawing of one wall. It shows cabinet runs, appliance locations, window and counter heights, tile extents, and how everything lines up. It is the drawing your cabinet maker and your builder will ask for, and it catches conflicts on paper instead of on site.

How it fits with your drawings

Interior concepts are usually part of a custom home, addition, or remodel project, and they are most useful early, while the layout can still change. They can also be done on their own for a room you are reworking.

What we don't do

We are a design-only firm. We don't sell furniture or finishes, place orders, or manage installation. You get the concept and the drawings, and you and your builder buy from whoever you like. Colors shown on screen are approximate, so final selections should always be confirmed with physical samples in the home's own light.

Who this is for

Homeowners who know the look they want and need it turned into decisions. Homeowners who don't know yet and want help getting there. Builders who want finish selections settled before framing starts.
