CUSTOM HOME DESIGN

Building a custom home is an opportunity to shape every detail from the very beginning. We partner with you, your architect, and your builder from the earliest stages to create a home that feels cohesive from the architecture outward.



Our role is to guide the creative vision across every layer of the project—from space planning and architectural details to material selections, lighting, cabinetry, furnishings, and styling. Every decision is made with the bigger picture in mind, creating a home that feels intentional, personal, and built for the way you live.

LARGE SCALE RENOVATIONS

Whether you’re reimagining your entire home or transforming a single kitchen, we help uncover what’s possible before construction begins. Rather than simply updating finishes, we look at how your home can function better, flow more naturally, and feel more connected. From space planning and construction documentation to finish selections and project management, we guide every phase of the design while collaborating closely with your contractor and architect.


Our goal is to simplify a complex process, anticipate challenges before they happen, and help you make confident decisions that lead to a home that’s more thoughtful than you imagined. Whether you’ve already assembled your team or are looking for trusted recommendations, we’re here to lead the design and keep everyone moving toward the same vision.

WHOLE HOME FURNISHING

Whole Home Furnishings is a comprehensive interior furnishing service for clients who want every room to feel considered and connected. From furniture and lighting to rugs, window treatments, artwork, and accessories, we curate each piece to create a home that reflects the architecture, the way you live, and your personal style.


We manage the entire process from concept through installation, coordinating selections, custom furnishings, ordering, vendor communication, and final styling so every detail comes together seamlessly. The result is a home that feels complete, lived in, and thoughtfully layered from the moment you walk in.

HOW WE WORK

Great design starts long before finishes are selected.

Our process is built around understanding the home as a whole—its architecture, its potential, and the people who will live there.

 

We guide each phase with thoughtful planning, clear communication, and close collaboration, allowing clients to feel confident while we lead the creative direction.


 

From the first meeting through final installation, every decision is made with the larger vision in mind.

1. DISCOVERY & CONSULTATION

Every project begins with understanding what your home could become.


 

We’ll walk through your space, discuss how you live, identify what’s working and what isn’t, and explore the opportunities that will have the biggest impact. Whether you’re starting with a clear vision or simply know something feels disconnected, this phase establishes the direction for everything that follows.

2. CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

With a clear understanding of your goals, we begin shaping the design direction.


Through space planning, architectural ideas, material palettes, and overall design concepts, we develop a comprehensive vision that considers flow, proportion, light, and how every space relates to the next. This phase establishes the foundation for the entire project before moving into detailed selections.

3. DETAILED DESIGN

Once the overall direction is approved, every detail is thoughtfully developed.


From custom cabinetry and lighting plans to finishes, fixtures, furnishings, and construction documentation, each selection is made within the context of the larger vision. Our presentations allow you to understand not only what we’re choosing, but why each decision supports the home as a whole.

4. PROCUREMENT & PROJECT MANAGEMENT

After approvals, our team manages the countless moving pieces that bring the design to life.


We coordinate purchasing, vendor communication, contractor collaboration, site visits, and project logistics while keeping the design aligned from construction through completion. Our role is to anticipate challenges, solve problems proactively, and ensure the vision is carried through every stage of the project.

5. INSTALLATION & STYLING

Installation is where months of planning come together.


We oversee furniture placement, styling, artwork, accessories, and the final layers that complete the home, ensuring every room feels intentional and cohesive before you ever walk through the door.

6. FINAL WALKTHROUGH

Before the project is complete, we walk through the home together to ensure every detail has been thoughtfully executed. 

We provide support for any last questions or tweaks, because we want you to love your home long after move-in day.

Our goal is for you to move into a home that feels effortless to live in—not because it happened by chance, but because every decision was made with intention from the very beginning.

SERVICES

Every home begins with possibility. Whether you’re building from the ground up or transforming an existing space, our role is to help shape a home that feels cohesive, intentional, and deeply connected to the way you live. At Makehouse, we look beyond finishes and furnishings to consider the entire experience of a home—from architecture and space planning to material selections, lighting, and the details that bring everything together.

 

We collaborate closely with architects, builders, and trusted trades to ensure every decision contributes to a clear, unified vision. Rather than following a signature style, we approach each project individually, creating homes that respond to their architecture, their surroundings, and the people who will live in them. The result is a home that feels timeless, personal, and thoughtfully designed from the inside out.
