A-la-Carte Interior Design Services in Austin: Flexible Design Support with a Luxury Touch
Great design doesn’t always require a full-scale commitment — sometimes, it simply requires the right expertise at the right time.
At Claudia Pakes Design Studio, our A-la-carte interior design services in Austin are designed for homeowners who want professional guidance without the scope of a full home project. These services offer flexibility, clarity, and elevated design direction — perfect for busy professionals, growing families, and design-savvy clients who want expert input without overwhelm.
What Makes A-la-Carte Interior Design Different?
A-la-carte interior design allows you to work with a professional designer on specific design needs, rather than an all-inclusive package. You choose the services that matter most to your project — whether that’s refining a layout, selecting finishes, or completing the final details.
You still receive the same thoughtful design process and attention to detail — just tailored to your priorities.
Our A-la-Carte Interior Design Services in Austin
Design Consultation
Our design consultation is often the starting point. This session provides professional insight into your space, layout recommendations, aesthetic direction, and next steps. It’s ideal for clients who want clarity before moving forward or need guidance to make confident decisions.
Space Planning & Furniture Layout
A well-planned layout is the foundation of a functional home. We help define furniture placement, traffic flow, and spatial balance to ensure your home feels intentional, comfortable, and visually cohesive.
Color, Finish & Material Selection
Selecting paint colors, flooring, tile, countertops, and finishes can quickly become overwhelming. We curate cohesive palettes that reflect your style while ensuring everything works together seamlessly — now and long-term.
Furniture & Decor Selection
From key furniture pieces to decorative accents, we help source items that elevate your space while supporting everyday living. Each recommendation is chosen with scale, comfort, and longevity in mind.
Lighting Design Guidance
Lighting has the power to transform how a space feels. We provide guidance on fixture styles, placement, and layered lighting strategies that enhance both function and ambiance throughout your home.
Kitchen & Bathroom Design Support
For clients working with contractors or builders, this service provides professional design direction for kitchens and bathrooms. We assist with layout refinement, cabinetry style, finish selections, hardware, and overall cohesion — helping you avoid costly mistakes.
Custom Window Treatments
Window treatments are a critical design element that often gets overlooked. We guide you through fabric selection, styles, functionality, and hardware options to ensure your window treatments feel tailored and fully integrated into your design.
Finishing Touches & Styling
The final details make all the difference. This service focuses on art placement, accessories, textiles, and styling elements that bring warmth, balance, and polish to your home — perfect for spaces that feel almost complete.
