Why Hire an Interior Designer for a Renovation?

At Charbonneau Interiors, we believe a renovation should feel exciting, not overwhelming. That’s where an interior designer comes in, serving as both your advocate and your creative partner, bridging the gap between the technical side of construction and the beauty of how your home will actually live and feel.

From the very beginning, we act as a liaison between you and the larger renovation team, making sure every detail, both functional and aesthetic, works together seamlessly. Your contractor, architect, engineers, and project managers all bring essential expertise to the table, and the interior designer ensures that vision translates into a finished space that is cohesive, beautiful, and true to your lifestyle.

What We Do During a Renovation

Understanding your Vision

We start with listening, learning about how you live, what you love, and what you hope to feel when the renovation is complete.

Space Planning

Before construction begins, we map out furniture layouts, circulation, and function so your home flows with ease while still feeling like a reflection of you.

Design development

Through mood boards, detailed drawings, and 3D renderings, we bring ideas to life so you can clearly envision your home before a single wall is touched. Our plans cover everything from cabinetry and millwork to lighting, tile, and built-ins, ensuring no detail is overlooked.

Material and Finish Selections

We guide you through the overwhelming world of options including flooring, wall treatments, countertops, hardware, and lighting. Together we curate a palette that feels cohesive, timeless, and personal.

Custom Design, backed by Experience & Expertise

We love designing custom elements that make a house feel like a true home, whether that is bespoke cabinetry, built-ins, or furniture designed just for you.

Collaboration with Contractors

We work hand in hand with your contractors, architects, and engineers, ensuring technical details align with the design vision. This collaboration keeps the project on track, eliminates miscommunication, and protects your investment.

Oversight and Finishing Touches

We do not just hand off drawings and walk away. We visit the site regularly, troubleshoot when unexpected issues arise, and make sure the final styling ties everything together.

When to Involve an Interior Designer

The best time to involve an interior designer is at the very start of the renovation. Early input helps shape layout decisions, lighting placement, and finish selections before construction begins, saving time, money, and frustration down the road. Not all designers specialize in renovations, but at Charbonneau Interiors, our team has deep expertise in construction and design. We bring decades of experience to ensure your renovation feels seamless from start to finish.
