Building a home should be exciting, fun, and filled with the design features you really love. Yet it can often be a long process, and an interior designer will ensure the overall vision of the project stays on track throughout.

An experienced builder will bring invaluable expertise to the project, but their main focus will be on creating an architecturally sound building, not factoring in aesthetics as a first priority.

Including an interior designer on the team will focus on the conceptual feeling of the overall space, as well as practical aspects of functionality in how the space is being used.

The interior design process includes the use of vision boards and a deep dive into inspirational images. When working with us, MWD will explore your aesthetic likes and dislikes to influence the selections we choose for your personalized presentation.

2. We Provide You Insider Access to Vendors & Samples

Designers have access to unique trade-only samples of finishes such as tile, wood flooring, wallpaper, and paint chips, which will ensure a custom-looking house.

Being able to see and touch samples at the presentation will help you be confident in your decisions, and you will know that the finishes selected are appropriate for their intended use. For example, the flooring specified for a home gym floor will be completely different than flooring in a mudroom, to ensure practicality.

3. We Assist You in Making Decisions & Designations

As interior designers, we have been through this process countless times, and you can lean on our expertise throughout all the decisions.

There are many considerations to keep the overall aesthetic of the house cohesive. For example, there can be over a dozen decorative lighting selections and it is important to make sure the selections "flow" and relate to each other, as well as correlate with the rest of the house design.
