Design Development

Interior Design Planning & Selections in Austin, Texas
A comprehensive design plan, ready for execution

Our Design Development service is ideal for clients who want a professionally designed space, but prefer to manage the implementation on their own.

We create a clear, cohesive design plan tailored to your home—providing the layouts, selections, and direction needed to bring your project to life with confidence.


What This Service Is

Design Development is a collaborative, design-focused service where we guide the creative direction of your space and develop all key selections and specifications.

You’ll receive a well-thought-out plan that considers both aesthetics and function—so you can move forward knowing the details have been carefully considered.

This service is best suited for:

  • Remodels where a contractor is already in place

  • Furnishing projects where you prefer to purchase independently

  • Clients who want professional guidance but are comfortable managing logistics


What’s Included

We focus on building a strong design foundation and a clear roadmap for execution.

Design & Planning

  • Concept development and overall design direction

  • Furniture layouts and space planning

  • Material and finish selections

  • Lighting recommendations

  • Design boards and visual presentations

Specifications for Execution

  • Detailed recommendations for furnishings and materials

  • Guidance on sizing, scale, and placement

  • Clear direction for contractors or purchasing

How It Works

We guide you through a structured design phase to ensure all decisions are intentional and cohesive.

Step 1: Discovery & Direction

We define your goals, priorities, and overall vision for the space.

Step 2: Design Development

We create layouts, refine selections, and build out a complete design plan.

Step 3: Presentation & Refinement

We present the design, gather your feedback, and finalize the details so you can move forward with clarity.

What You’re Responsible For

To ensure transparency, this service does not include implementation.

Clients are responsible for:

  • Purchasing and order management

  • Tracking deliveries and coordinating timelines

  • Managing contractors and trades

  • Handling damages, returns, and replacements

  • Overseeing installation and final styling

The Result

A cohesive, thoughtfully designed plan that gives you the confidence to execute your project on your own timeline.

You’ll have the clarity and direction needed to make informed decisions—without second guessing every step.

Is This the Right Fit?

This service is ideal if you:

  • Want a professional design plan but prefer to manage execution

  • Are working with your own contractor or builder

  • Enjoy being hands-on and involved in the process

  • Are comfortable coordinating the details of your project

If you’d prefer a fully managed experience where every detail is handled for you, our Concierge Interior Design service may be a better fit.

Investment

Design Development services are priced based on scope, number of rooms, and level of detail required.

A tailored proposal will be provided following your consultation.

A cozy corner with two white bench seats with fringed skirts, a wicker handbag, sunglasses, and sandals on a patterned rug. An ornate mirror with a wooden frame hangs on the wall with Asian-inspired wallpaper, and a large window with black frames lets in natural light.

Getting Started

All projects begin with a consultation.

During this session, we’ll walk your space, discuss your goals, and determine the best approach for your project.

From there, we’ll prepare a detailed proposal outlining scope, investment, and next steps.
