Interior refresh of a residence with modern lighting.

Finishes, fixtures, and cabinetry, within the existing plan.

Interior Refresh

An Interior Refresh changes how a home looks and feels while leaving its walls and building systems in place. It is full design work, centered on the elements that define a room: cabinetry, countertops, flooring, wall finishes, lighting, fixtures, and hardware.

Overview

A refresh may cover one room or an entire home. It is defined by the kind of work, not its size. With the plan and systems fixed, nearly everything else can change. We design around the pieces you intend to keep, so the home remains recognizably yours.

Well suited to

  • Kitchens and baths updated within their current layouts

  • Whole-home finish updates after a purchase

  • Living, dining, and bedrooms in need of better light and a coherent palette

  • Homes with good bones and tired interiors

What an Interior Refresh can include

  • Design direction for each space

  • Color, material, and finish palettes, with physical samples reviewed in your home

  • Cabinetry, countertop, and built-in design

  • Finish, fixture, and hardware selections

What sits outside a refresh

Changes to layouts, walls, or structural, plumbing, mechanical, or electrical systems, beyond replacing or updating fixtures, fall under New Construction & Remodel. Once we've reviewed your project, we'll confirm which applies.

Pairs well with

Furnishing & Styling, to complete the rooms. Construction Management, to coordinate the trades.
