Edmonds homes come with a view. The rooms should live up to it.
Edmonds is the rare Seattle-area town where the water is part of daily life: ferries crossing the Sound, sunsets off the fishing pier, the Bowl's galleries and restaurants a short walk from home. The houses reflect that range, from craftsman bungalows near Main Street to Seaview and Westgate ramblers to condos that trade square footage for a front-row seat on the water. What they share is a design question the view does not answer: how the rooms themselves should work.
Full-service interior design answers it as one composition. Layout, furniture, materials, lighting, and styling are decided together, so the living room frames the sunset instead of fighting it, and the everyday rooms, the entries, kitchens, and dens the view never reaches, feel just as considered.
What our full-service interior design includes in Edmonds
The complete scope, tuned to Edmonds: view rooms that need orientation and glare control, midcentury ramblers that need editing and flow, and downsized condos where every piece has to earn its place.
Space planning & layout
Room flow planned around real routines. In view homes that means seating oriented to the water without turning the room into a lookout; in Seaview and Westgate ramblers it means opening the right connections between compartmentalized rooms.
Furniture & custom pieces
Furniture scaled to the room and the household, mixing retail, trade, and custom where it earns its place. In a downsized waterfront condo every piece carries double duty, and we choose accordingly.
Materials & finish selections
Palettes built for the Sound's shifting coastal light, which reads cooler and changes faster than inland Eastside light. Finishes are chosen so the room holds its warmth on gray mornings and does not wash out at golden hour.
Lighting design
Layered lighting planned with the view in mind: ambient levels that do not mirror against the glass at night, task light where the work happens, and fixtures that hold their own as objects.
Remodel design & contractor coordination
Kitchens and bathrooms designed as one composition and documented for your licensed contractor, with selections scheduled so the project keeps moving. We design and coordinate; your contractor builds.
Styling & art curation
The finishing pass that makes a house read as finished: art, objects, textiles, and shelf styling. Edmonds has a real arts community, and we like designing rooms that can hold local work.
Interior design from our north-end and Seattle projects
How much does an interior designer cost in Edmonds?
Published U.S. designer guides put hourly rates between $125 and $300 or more, and the Seattle metro sits at the higher end of national ranges, with labor costs running roughly 15 to 25% above national averages. At NU Curations, design fees are defined and shared up front, based on the scope from a $200 first visit. Most Bothell projects land in one of three shapes:
Furnishings only
$4,000 to $10,000 per room in design fees
Layout, furniture, lighting, and styling, priced room by room. A common Edmonds brief: make the living room worthy of the view it already has.
Remodel design
Quoted by the scope of the work
Design for a kitchen or bathroom remodel, planned as one composition and documented for your licensed contractor: bathrooms typically run $5,000 to $8,000 and kitchens $7,000 to $15,000 in design fees.
New construction
Design fee calculated by square footage
A new build or whole home planned as one design, furnished, and styled, phased sensibly so everything happens in the right order. Because the scope follows the size of the house, the fee is usually worked out by square footage.
Ranges reflect design fees based on published U.S. designer guides; your exact fee is quoted up front after the first visit, before any contract is signed. Construction and furnishings are separate budgets paid to your contractor and vendors. See our full pricing guide in the journal for how fees are structured.

We manage procurement questions, coordinate with your contractor when there is build work, and style the finished rooms.
Why Edmonds homeowners choose NU Curations
The Bowl sets Edmonds' tone: a walkable downtown of galleries, restaurants, and the Saturday market, ringed by craftsman bungalows and cottages that have been loved for a century. Design work in these houses is respectful editing, keeping the character while giving the rooms modern storage, better light, and furniture that fits the architecture instead of crowding it.
Up the hill the story changes. Seaview, Westgate, and Perrinville are full of midcentury ramblers and split-levels, many with peekaboo Sound views, most with layouts drawn for a different era. Opening the right connections, orienting the main rooms toward the light, and planning storage the house never had is where full-service design earns its fee. Along the water, condos and townhomes bring the opposite brief: less space, bigger view, and every piece of furniture auditioning for its spot.
Our nearest full-home project sits a short drive east. At Kenmore Treeside we made a whole house earn its keep: a banquette breakfast nook in a corner that had never been used, an entry anchored by a large mirror that absorbs real arrivals, shelves styled for life rather than photography. That is the standard we bring across the north end, Edmonds included.

Frequently Asked Questions
Published U.S. designer guides put hourly rates between $125 and $300 or more, so budget matters more than averages. Our furnishings-only work runs $4,000 to $10,000 per room in design fees, remodel design is quoted by scope, and new construction is calculated by square footage. Your exact fee is quoted after the $200 in-home first visit, which is applied toward your project.
Yes. Kenmore Treeside, a full-home project at the top of Lake Washington, is a short drive east of Edmonds, and our Seattle projects include Queen Anne and Ballard homes with the same mix of character architecture and modern life. We serve Edmonds as part of our regular north-end coverage.
View rooms fail in predictable ways: furniture lined up against the glass like theater seating, lighting that mirrors on the windows at night, and palettes that wash out in coastal light. The fix is composition, seating that holds conversation and still frames the water, layered light planned for after dark, and materials with enough warmth to stand up to gray mornings.
Yes. Many Edmonds projects start with the main living spaces and phase from there. We design the whole composition first so each phase builds toward one coherent home, then schedule the work in an order that makes sense for your budget and your household.
No. NU Curations is an interior design studio, and construction is performed by your licensed general contractor. We design the space, document every selection, and coordinate with your contractor so the build matches the plan. If you do not have a contractor yet, we are happy to work alongside the one you choose.
Yes. Many of our Seattle projects are furnishing and styling scopes: layout, furniture, lighting, window treatments, and art for a home that is structurally fine but does not feel finished. These projects follow the same process, just without the contractor handoff.
