Interior designers help take your ideas and goals and translate them into beautiful rooms tailored specifically for you. We take your vision to the next level with design ideas, products, and finishes you may never have seen before. Perhaps, though, the greatest value we offer is the depth of expertise we bring to your project. Lead designer, Lori Jansen, is experienced in the home construction process and uses her hands-on experience from years of projects to save you time and money. Her unique background helps to prevent project delays, and most importantly, prevent costly mistakes through effective planning, project management and building a collaborative relationship between the owner, the contractor and trades. Design projects can involve hundreds of decisions, but we can save you time and stress by guiding you through the process.

The simple answer is: right away. Once construction gets underway, it can be difficult and costly to make changes. As you can imagine, sometimes design is a snowball effect where one detail affects another and so on. We present designs and ideas that you may not have considered, and it’s always easier to incorporate these changes before the project starts. When we are involved from concept to completion, the process is much more likely to be seamless and enjoyable, resulting in a beautiful home that is tailored to your specifications.

No two projects are alike, therefore the process varies from project to project. The type of project and scope of work can affect the timeframe as well as schedules of tradespeople. Once we get more details at the design consultation, we can give a more accurate expectation for your project’s timeframe. We create a customized plan for each project that best suits the scope of work and timeline.

Our typical clients are homeowners building a new home, undertaking a large home renovation, remodeling a kitchen or bathroom who needs design help and assistance choosing architectural finishes, fixtures and furnishings. Whether you’re starting from scratch, remodeling or just in need of some direction, we offer a wide variety of design services to help you create the perfect design.

Design House Interiors charges hourly for work performed so you only pay for the services you need and nothing else. The scope of the project will determine how many hours are needed.

Lori is available to travel on a limited basis depending on location, timeline and scope of work. Currently, we do not offer e-design services.

Yes, we have many different types of builders, contractors and subcontractors we work with on a regular basis that we can recommend.  We are also happy to work with your builder, general contractor or any trade you prefer to work with.

Bring everything under the sun that inspires you. We love to see your inspirational photos, Pinterest boards, Instagram, Houzz images and more to help us fully understand your vision. It might seem counterintuitive, but revealing interiors or finishes you don't like is also valuable. Your inspirational style and needs for your space help us learn more about you and how you use your home. The fuller a picture we get of your preferences, the better equipped we are to create a space perfectly designed for you. Although you might not have an exact budget or timeline, it’s helpful to think about them before our consultation to provide rough guidelines for the project starting out.
