Renovation Design

At SID, we specialize in renovation-focused interior design—helping clients make confident, informed decisions about layout, materials, and construction before layering in their own furnishings and style. Collaborating closely with you and your renovation team, we focus on thoughtful planning and cohesive design, laying the foundation for a space that reflects your style and enhances your daily life.

phase 1: discovery & project scoping

We begin with a deep dive into your goals, lifestyle, and design vision—then align your priorities with a clear, achievable project scope.

phase 2: site review & as-built documentation

Accurate field measurements and site analysis are essential to informed design. We document existing conditions and translate them into detailed, digital drawings.

phase 3: space planning & layout design

We design layouts that make your home more livable, logical, and aesthetically cohesive—tailored to your routines, storage needs, and architectural style.


phase 4: finish & material selections

We help you choose the hard finishes that define your space—ensuring visual consistency, durability, and long-term versatility.

phase 5: construction documentation

We translate your design into detailed drawings that your builder can confidently follow—reducing errors, guesswork, and delays.

phase 6: site visits & contractor coordination

We stay involved through construction to ensure your design vision is respected and executed accurately.

 

Layout & Materials

For those seeking expert guidance without the need for full design plans or construction coordination, the Layout & Materials service offers focused support. This service is ideal for clients renovating one or two rooms who want thoughtful advice on space planning and material selection.

We’ll help you refine your layout and choose finishes that are both beautiful and practical, ensuring a cohesive, functional result. You’ll leave with clear direction, empowering you to move forward with confidence and create a space that feels truly your own.

phase 1: Discovery & Goal Setting

In this phase, we’ll meet 1-2 times to discuss your design goals, preferences, and the specific challenges of your space. We'll take time to understand your vision and any site-specific requirements to ensure the plan works for you.

phase 2: Space Planning

We’ll create layout options for up to 2 rooms, optimizing flow, functionality, and aesthetics. You’ll receive a PDF of annotated floor plans, helping you visualize how the space can be best utilized based on your goals.

phase 3: Material & Finish Recommendations

We’ll suggest materials, finishes, and color palettes tailored to your space and style. Whether you’re looking for a timeless look or something more modern, we'll present a curated selection that fits your needs. You’ll also receive a digital moodboard or written summary with our top recommendations.

If sustainability is a priority for you, we’ll work together to ensure your choices align with your values while still achieving the look and feel you want.

  • While we don’t handle project management or oversee the budget on a day-to-day basis, we do assist with understanding the potential costs of materials, finishes, and construction.

    • Construction drawings for your contractor, including demolition plans and layout changes

    • Lighting and electrical plans

    • A material finish schedule to ensure every detail is clearly documented for the builder

    This package ensures your project is well-defined, minimizing errors during construction.

  • After construction is complete, the home is yours to personalize. You furnish and decorate at your own pace, with confidence that the hard finishes and layout were professionally guided to support any future style direction.

  • Although we don’t handle the procurement of furniture and décor, we gather details about your design preferences and any key pieces you want to incorporate, ensuring they are seamlessly integrated into the layout.
