Good design begins before/during construction! Bringing a designer in early allows every finish and architectural selection to feel cohesive, intentional, and tailored to the way the home will actually live and function.
• Brass switches & outlets — Brass hardware develops a natural patina over time and adds warmth & depth to the home.
• Wall texture & finish selections — The finish of a wall dramatically impacts how light moves throughout a space. Limewash, plaster, or smooth finishes each create a different atmosphere and can add softness & dimension. Level 5 is needed for wallpaper!
• Discreet outlet covers — Integrating outlets into stone, millwork, or wall color creates cleaner sightlines and a more refined overall aesthetic.
• Door casing & baseboard sizing — Scale matters. Larger, more substantial trim profiles help rooms feel architecturally grounded and custom, while undersized trim can make even a beautiful home feel builder-grade.
• Decorative or integrated vents — Vents are often overlooked, but custom vent covers or flush integrations allow airflow elements to blend seamlessly into the architecture rather than interrupt it visually.
• Seamless shower drains — Linear drains create a cleaner floor transition, improve accessibility, and allow tile layouts to feel uninterrupted and visually expansive within the bathroom.
And trust us… adjusting switch & outlet placements are a lot more fun before drywall goes up. 😉..
