Interior design that fits your life and your build
Work with a dedicated Chapter designer from concept to completion. One team, one contract, no surprises.
Why design matters in renovation
Alignment
Thoughtful design provides a clear roadmap before construction begins, reducing the risk of hasty decisions and costly changes mid-project.
Cost certainty
Detailed drawings and specifications help define scope, material and labor needs early on, minimizing budget surprises and keeping the project financially on track.
Lasting value
A well-designed renovation delivers a cohesive aesthetic that is also practical and durable, increasing property value and market appeal over time.
Built‑in efficiency
Good design prioritizes how a space will actually be used, improving layout, storage, lighting, and flow to suit your lifestyle needs.
Our interior design process
1. Program
Complete our Design Questionnaire and meet your dedicated Designer. Together, we’ll walk through your space to align on vision, functionality, and budget.
2. Conceptualize
We present custom mood boards to define the project’s aesthetic direction. One round of revisions ensures alignment before development begins.
3. Develop
Join your designer for showroom visits to select fixtures and finishes. We’ll then produce detailed floor plans, elevations, and 3D renderings. Up to three rounds of design revisions are included.
4. Build
Once everything is approved, construction begins. Your designer remains involved during key phases to ensure quality, consistency, and a final result that exceeds expectations.

FAQs
How long does the design process usually take?
The design process typically takes 10–14 weeks, depending on the size of the project. We’ll provide a more detailed timeline once we understand the full scope of your needs.
How many rounds of revisions are included?
We include three rounds of design revisions in our standard process. This allows for thoughtful adjustments and collaboration to ensure the final design aligns with your vision.
Do you order materials or is that on me?
We handle all material ordering so that we can manage delivery, timing, and any return processing. It also allows us to ensure accurate quantities are ordered to avoid any construction delays. Material ordering is covered within Chapter’s 10% procurement fee.
Is there a showroom where I can see materials in person?
We will host you around to local showrooms to see products such as plumbing fixtures, tiles, flooring, and appliances. We also have an in-office showroom for cabinetry and millwork finishes, and we can order sample sets to be sent directly to you.
Will my designer help me pick materials within my budget?
Absolutely. Your designer will work closely with you to select materials that align with both your aesthetic goals and your budget. Cost-effective, beautiful solutions are always a priority.
Do your designers have specific styles or do they design based on the client?
Our designers are highly versatile and tailor every project to reflect the client’s individual style and needs. While each designer brings their own perspective, the goal is always to create a space that feels uniquely yours.
Can my designer help me pick out furniture and decor?
Our designers focus on millwork, tiles, flooring, and other construction materials that form the foundation of your space. They do not specify furniture or decor items.
