Full Service Interior Design

Starting at $125 per hour.

Our best design for your best life.

Whether you’re looking for help with a single room makeover, a remodeling project, a complete home renovation, or starting new build construction, Living Solutions’ Full-Service Design covers it all. This service typically is completed in four phases:

FULL SERVICE DESIGN PROCESS

DESIGN CONSULTATION

Through an in person meeting, video conference, or phone call I will asses the scope & design needs for your project. I do this by visiting your space (or viewing your space via video or photos) & getting to know how you live in the space.
DESIGN PLAN PRESENTATION

I will present you with a personalized design plan for your space. This comprehensive plan will include flooring & surface selections, paint color choices, fabric swatches, furniture placement, & much more.
PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION

The purchasing & installation phase of the project begins & the vision starts to become a reality. I work with contractors, manage the ordering & purchasing of finishes, fixtures, & oversee the installations to be sure your project stays on time & within budget.
FINISHING TOUCHES

As the larger aspects of your project are installed, the final phase of Full Service Design is completing the space with the finishing details, such as artwork, area rugs, lighting, decor accents, pillows, window treatments, etc.

Customize your experience

Choose from the following services to create your own personalized project.

Floor Planning

If you are starting with a blank slate or need to know which size sofa to order, a detailed, to-scale floor plan of your space will ensure everything will fit.

Paint Color Selection

Interior paint colors are a fundamental backdrop to your home’s aesthetic, and a cohesive color palette pulls it all together.

Hard Surface Finish Selection

Make sure the counter, backsplash, cabinet color, finish, hardware and fixtures enhance your overall kitchen or bathroom design.

Decor Refresh

A refresh of new lighting, pillows, throws, artwork, area rugs and accessories can completely transform an outdated space.

Organization

A place for everything and everything in its place can be achieved with a well designed closet configuration, mudroom layout and storage space organization.

Personal Shopping Services

Take the guess work out of your shopping trip and shop side by side with a designer to avoid indecision and costly mistakes.

Holiday Decorating

Santa and his elves have enough to do. Take the stress and work out of decorating for the holidays so you can fully enjoy the season.

Exterior Paint Selection

First impressions make a difference. Adding curb appeal to your home’s exterior is a great place to invest when it comes to your overall home design.

Window Treatments

Whether it is custom drapery or ready-made curtain panels, window treatments provide an extra layer of function and design to any space.

Reupholstery

If you have a piece that is sentimental or fits your space perfectly, reupholstering it can completely change the look of an existing piece.

Fabric Selection

Fabrics give your home its personality. Coordinate colors, patterns, and textures and select the right fabric for the right application.

Flooring Selection

Flooring works hard but does not get much of the glory, unless it is the wrong choice. Select the best option for hardwood, tile, laminate and carpet to meet your design preferences and lifestyle.

Client Testimonial

Find out what our full-service design process is like for clients.

We had worked with Gina on a couple of projects before our kitchen remodel. I took the task to Gina with my folder full of inspiration for our kitchen and plopped it in front of her, expecting Gina to laugh at me but instead she ran with it! Gina loved my vision of a clean, yet traditional style which made us even more excited that this really could happen. My biggest “want” was a china hutch that look like we found it in an antique store, but was a part of the overall custom cabinetry. Again, Gina “got it”. She was able to sketch out a plan and nail the look of the hutch and how it would be incorporated into the kitchen on the first draft! What we appreciated even more was her ability to sit down with us and our contractor and make sure that every single detail was addressed and we all agreed so that there would be no mistakes. That level of detail was paramount in the kitchen process. I have never undertaken a project with so much detail! I can report that we had no change orders! Who can say that? One mantra I had with both Gina and our contractor was that I wanted to treat the design and function so that every inch of space had to have a purpose. Due to her efforts, I now can honestly say, we have extra space in the kitchen! And the kitchen actually looks bigger! We incorporated much larger windows to bring in more light which helped tremendously and raised the doorway to add to that illusion of space - thank you Gina! I would say the most fun I had was when we went shopping for the quartzite counter, tile, hardware, etc. Gina knew exactly where we should go and she would have some samples already pulled so it made the process much, much easier. The kitchen was completed about six months ago and we still stand in it in amazement! It is more than we ever expected!

Design where life counts.

Point Loma La Mesa Mt. Helix

Traditional Kitchen

This client’s galley kitchen needed better function and a refreshed look. We worked together with the contractor and cabinet maker on many occasions to be sure every detail was resolved and the design was exactly what the client was envisioning. The specially made china hutch was designed from inspiration photos the client had and it was made to look like a stand-alone piece of furniture. All of the design details from the custom cabinetry to the soapstone counters to the detailed backsplash tile design really made this kitchen a completely custom space. Every detail was thought out for this project and it reflected the client’s style and the function they needed.

Sleek & Sophisticated

This kitchen was in need of an update but the clients did not want to invest in a total kitchen renovation. We had an overall budget for the entire home remodel, which included the kitchen, three bathrooms and new flooring, so smart planning and product selection was necessary to be sure we had the most design impact while being mindful of the budget. The existing cabinets were painted inside and out, and new wood plank tile was carried through the kitchen, breakfast nook and adjacent dining room. The walls got a fresh coat of paint, and new cabinet hardware, an oversized beveled subway tile for the backsplash, and new quartz counters gave this kitchen a completely new look and feel.

Modern Traditional Dining

This client was finishing a full home renovation and was in need of all new furnishings. We started working together to complete the space with all the furnishings, art work, area rugs, accessories and custom window treatments. These clients had a strict deadline and we were able to work together for a few months to complete their entire space. We were able to find a great window treatment solution for some tricky windows that maximized their incredible views, while at the same time solved for issues of glare and heat. This project was the first of many design projects with this client and their family.
