I’m building a new home. When should I reach out for design services?

If you’re interviewing architects, or recently hired one, now is the time to contact us.

 

If you’re interested in building but don’t have an architect or builder yet, we're happy to provide talented candidates!

What are the benefits of getting DH Interior Design involved at the beginning?

The earlier we get on board, the easier it is for you! We work closely with you and your architect to collaborate on architechtural features that directly impact your design goals.

Hiring us early not only save you time, but money.

​

We cannot stress enough how vital it is to cultivate the bulk of your design ideas up front. If you make changes while your home is under construction, it quickly adds up with expensive change-order fees for material and labor. (We've seen it too many times!)

To prevent this unnecessary stress, we create a high-level design packet. Your builder uses this to incorporate accurate pricing into your new-build budget from the start. It keeps everyone on the same page — so you skip the headache. And your dream home showcases the level of finishes you envision!

Why should I hire a designer? Not to brag, but I have really good taste.

And we have no doubt you do! That's why we want to work with you. Listen, there’s nothing like having us in your corner every step of the new build.

 

You have the vision — and we have the resources, expertise and experience to make your dreams a reality. Let our team do the heavy lifting by sourcing the materials through ‘trade-only’ companies and keeping track of all the design details.

​

And with your good taste, collaborating with a seasoned expert ensures your design is cohesive and executed to perfection. Just like you want.

It is both mine and my wife's pleasure and good fortune to work with Emma Johnson. It is our opinion that Emma is not only professional, she is open minded, extremely well qualified, and always ready to help out. This 100% custom home build was our first time out and we are now getting ready to move into our dream home! 

 

Emma is a breeze to work with (for both of us)! She seems to always have more contacts too, and manages to get the best value for our money as well. We are both grateful to have her to fall back on for what seems like a million decisions during our home build. I especially love working with Emma as I could tell the truth of what I disliked (or hated) and what I preferred (or loved). Her work ethic is of the highest quality, both generous and comprehensive. Her professional opinions help to guide us toward what WE really want most. 

 

Plainly: her knowledge, talent and professional attitude are key in keeping both our design and build moving forward. We both are grateful and much better off having her help in this home build. Thank you once again Emma.
