Renovation Design Services

Beautiful spaces begin with thoughtful planning.

Every successful renovation begins with a clear vision and a thoughtful plan. Driftwood House offers a flexible design experience tailored to the unique needs of your project.

It starts with a short, free inquiry. If we’re a good fit, we begin with a Vision Session, then a Design Intent Package your contractor can build from. Optional support during construction and procurement are available when you want more help.

  • Investment: $395

    A personalized, 90-minute design consultation designed to help you explore the potential of your renovation before committing to a complete design.

    Whether you're renovating a kitchen, bathroom, pantry, laundry room, mudroom, or another space, this session provides professional design guidance to help you move forward with confidence.

    Includes

    • 90-minute consultation — in-home within the standard or extended service area, or via video call for remote projects (see Service Area & Travel)

    • Review of the existing space

    • Discussion of your goals, lifestyle, budget, and priorities

    • Discussion of desired renovation timeline to help guide design recommendations, material selections, and project priorities

    • Design recommendations to improve layout, flow, storage, and functionality

    • Guidance on materials, fixtures, finishes, and overall design direction

    • Conceptual sketch or curated inspiration board, as appropriate for your project

    • Written summary of design recommendations and suggested next steps

  • Investment: Every renovation is unique. Design fees are tailored to the size, scope, and complexity of your project.

    Your complete Design Intent Package communicates the proposed layout, materials, cabinetry, fixtures, and overall design direction of your renovation. It is a design-communication tool intended to assist your contractor and licensed professionals during estimating, planning, and construction.

    Includes — Discovery & Planning

    • Field measurements of existing conditions — collected in person within the standard or extended service area, or provided by the client and/or contractor for remote projects — taken for design purposes only and not warranted for construction accuracy

    • One mid-project site visit (or virtual review for remote projects) to confirm field conditions before finalizing drawings

    • Space planning and layout optimization

    • Functional design solutions tailored to your lifestyle

    • Design concept development, including one initial concept and two rounds of revisions

    • Additional revisions beyond the included rounds are billed at $185/hour

    • Preliminary budget allowance worksheet by category (cabinetry, tile, fixtures, etc.) to help guide your budgeting — informational only, not a contractor bid or a guarantee of final project cost

    Includes — Design Development

    • Millwork concepts, where applicable

    • Fixture, material, and finish selections
