Full-Service Interior Design

Space Planning + Layouts
Whether you're working with an existing layout or starting from scratch, we help create flow and functionality. Great interiors begin with smart planning, and we prioritize comfort and ease of use in every space.
Material + Finish Selections
From countertops to flooring, cabinetry to hardware, we select materials that fit both your style and the demands of desert living. We work with local showrooms and vendors to ensure quality and availability.
Furnishing + Styling
We source furniture, artwork, and décor to complement your home’s architecture and your personal preferences. Our styling service ensures your space feels finished, polished, and ready to enjoy.
Construction Coordination
While we’re not licensed contractors, we play an active role in overseeing design implementation. We collaborate with your build team, stay in touch with trades, and answer questions to ensure the design is executed correctly.
Our Interior Design + Coordination Process
We take a structured, easy-to-follow approach to every interior design Coachella Valley project, whether you're in town or working with us remotely.
Step 1: Vision + Planning
We start by learning how you live, how often you’re here, and how you want your home to feel. You’ll receive a clear plan, style direction, and scope tailored to your space. We help define goals, timelines, and design priorities so that every choice we make supports how you truly use your home.
Step 2: Design + Selection
We present curated moodboards, layouts, and finishes that reflect your style and space needs. From tile and lighting to furniture and accessories, every selection is chosen with comfort and durability in mind. Whether you’re drawn to modern minimalism or cozy desert textures, we help refine each element until it feels right.
Step 3: Coordination + Oversight
Once design decisions are made, we help assemble and coordinate with licensed contractors, trades, and vendors. We are not general contractors, but we bring years of experience managing site work, answering questions, and advocating for the design through completion. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and clear communication so your project never feels out of your control.

Kelly did a great job designing our home. She worked with our builder from the beginning thru completion. Kelly did all the interior and exterior elevations which prevented any miscommunications about what we wanted. She helped me pick out finishes and helped me color coordinate my choices. We could not be happier with our new home!!
