Redmond homes are busy. The design should do the settling.
A lot of Redmond life happens at home now: two careers, hybrid schedules, kids, and a house that has quietly become office, gym, classroom, and restaurant. The most common brief we hear from Redmond homeowners is not a style. It is a feeling: make this house calmer, make the rooms work for how we actually live, and make it look like someone finished it.
Full-service interior design answers that as one plan instead of a hundred separate purchases. Layout, furniture, materials, lighting, and styling are decided together, so the great room, the office that videoconferences all day, and the bedrooms all read as one home.
What our full-service interior design includes in Redmond
The same complete scope we bring to every Eastside home, tuned to what Redmond houses actually need: honest space planning in older ramblers, scale and zoning in new open plans, and lighting everywhere.
Space planning & layout
Room flow planned around real routines. In Education Hill and English Hill split-levels that often means untangling boxed-in rooms; in new Overlake and downtown townhomes it means zoning one tall open volume into livable areas.
Home office design
Redmond works from home more than almost anywhere. We plan offices that hold up on camera and off: layout, storage, acoustics-friendly textiles, and light that flatters at 9am and 4pm.
Furniture & custom pieces
Sofas, tables, beds, and built-ins selected or designed for your rooms, with scale checked against the actual floor plan before anything is ordered.
Materials & finish selections
Paint, tile, flooring, hardware, and textiles chosen as one cohesive palette, documented so decisions do not unravel mid-project.
Lighting design
Layered ambient, task, and accent lighting planned room by room. Under Pacific Northwest cloud cover this is the difference between a house that feels flat and one that feels warm at seven on a winter evening.
Styling & art curation
Shelf styling, art placement, and the finishing layers that make a designed home feel collected and personal rather than staged.
Interior design from our Eastside and Seattle projects
How much does an interior designer cost in Redmond?
Published U.S. designer guides put hourly rates between $125 and $300 or more, and the Eastside sits at the higher end of national ranges, in line with Seattle metro labor costs that run 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 Redmond 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 frequent Redmond starting point: the great room and home office designed completely, then the rest of the house in phases.
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.

Why Redmond homeowners choose NU Curations
Redmond splits cleanly into two design problems. Education Hill, English Hill, Grass Lawn, and North Redmond hold the city's 1960s through 1980s ramblers and split-levels: solid houses with compartmentalized rooms, low ceilings in the wrong places, and original layouts drawn for a different way of living. The work there is space planning first, then a palette and lighting plan that bring the house forward without erasing what makes it comfortable.
Downtown Redmond and Overlake are the opposite. The townhomes and condos rising around the light rail stations arrive bright, vertical, and completely unresolved: tall open volumes, few walls, and staircases eating the floor plan. Those homes need zoning through furniture scale, rugs, and lighting, and storage that works hard because the footprint will not.
We design across the whole Eastside from a studio just across the lake. Kenmore Treeside, at the north end of Lake Washington, shows the everyday version of the work: a banquette breakfast nook that made an unused corner the best seat in the house, an entry anchored by a large mirror, shelves styled to be lived with. Queen Anne Crestside shows the whole-home version, carried from the living room through a den, bedrooms, and a powder room.

Frequently Asked Questions
Published U.S. designer guides put hourly rates between $125 and $300 or more, single-room projects between roughly $4,000 and $10,000 in design fees, and full-home design from $25,000 up, with the Eastside at the higher end of national ranges. At NU Curations the first visit is $200, and your design fee is defined and shared up front from that scope, before any contract is signed.
Yes, and in Redmond it is one of our most requested rooms. A good office is layout and light before it is furniture: a desk position that avoids window glare on the screen, a background that looks composed on camera, task lighting that does not fight the monitor, and textiles that soften echo. We treat it as a full room, not a desk purchase.
With zoning. New Redmond townhomes usually have one bright open volume that has to serve living, dining, and often working. We define those areas with furniture scale, rugs, and lighting rather than walls, then plan storage deliberately because vertical homes are short on it. The result reads as rooms, not one echoing space.
Full service means we carry it: layout, selections, procurement guidance, contractor coordination when there is build work, and styling at the end. You approve the design and the fee up front, and then the hundreds of small decisions stay consistent because one studio is holding the plan.
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.
