This week we have interior designer Claire Larritt-Evans of Larritt-Evans join us for a chat.
She shares her insights on what an interior designer really brings to a home project, from planning, designing, and carefully detailing the interiors of a house, whether it’s working independently or teaming up with an architect. Claire points out the benefits of architects and interior designers collaborating closely to make sure the end result feels cohesive and well thought out.
We go through her process and how it starts with getting to know the client in detail —understanding how they live, what they need from their space, and then creating a design that truly reflects their lifestyle. She also touches on the importance of clients being honest and setting realistic budgets so there are no surprises later.
By the end of the project, we chat about what clients walk away with – a full set of detailed design documentation which includes everything from floor plans and elevations to finishes and fixture schedules—ensuring the vision comes together just as planned throughout the build.
