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