Designing your home is an exciting process, but one of the first choices you’ll need to make is how to go about it. Should you design the entire home at once? Or take it step by step, one room at a time?
Both approaches have their strengths, and the right choice depends on your lifestyle, budget, and how you like to make decisions. Here's a closer look at what each path looks like and what you should keep in mind before choosing one.
This approach is more structured. From layout planning and material selection to furniture and lighting, everything is designed as part of a single cohesive plan. It usually works best if you're starting with a new home or doing a complete renovation.
A full home design allows for consistency. You’re choosing finishes, colors, and materials that flow well across spaces. It also tends to be more time-efficient since everything is planned and executed in one timeline, avoiding repeat disruptions.
However, it does require a bit more from you upfront - more decisions, a larger initial investment, and a clearer vision of how you want the entire home to come together.
Designing your home one space at a time can feel less overwhelming. You start with what matters most and over time, you build the rest of the home around those choices.
This approach gives you flexibility. You can spread out your budget, adapt to new needs as they come up, and even change your design preferences along the way. It’s especially practical if you're living in the home during the process or if you're planning upgrades over the long term.
The challenge? It’s harder to maintain a consistent design language. Unless you plan ahead with a broad design direction, each room might end up feeling a bit disconnected from the rest.
If you’re moving into a new home, want everything done in one go, or care about creating a seamless, well-aligned space, full home interiors are a great option.
If you’re still exploring your style, working with a flexible budget, or want to prioritize one area at a time, a room-by-room design might suit you better.
We work with both approaches. Whether you're designing a home from scratch or tackling one room at a time, we help you think ahead so your space comes together beautifully, no matter the timeline.
