Charlotte & Lake Norman
Full Service Interior Design
Welcome haven-seeker. These bespoke interior design services will help you turn any four walls in your home into a personal sanctuary.
Let's create beautiful spaces grounded in empathy
It's probably not every day you encounter an interior designer who leverages a background in psychology and criminal justice to create beautiful spaces, but it's surprisingly handy!
My background helps me understand why people are the way they are. Creating a functional space is more than just aesthetics, and my empathetic, psych-infused approach helps create designs that feel right for your life.

Interior Design
Reimagine or renovate your space with this comprehensive package.
Whether you're looking to uplevel a big or small space, I’ll guide you through the whole process. I'll help you craft a clear vision for your refreshed interior, including material selections, layouts, and that perfect design aesthetic. From there, I'll create all the construction plans and manage ordering and installations. Want new lighting, tiling, or custom built-ins? I'll work hand-in-hand with your contractor to make those custom touches a reality.

This service focuses on bringing new life to your rooms through strategic furniture layouts, textiles, lighting, artwork and accessories. We'll kick things off by defining your desired look and vibe. From there, I'll help you curate or style pieces and finishes that elevate your space's aesthetic while ensuring it functions optimally for your lifestyle.

"Virginia brought such a fresh perspective and was so flexible and collaborative that we were blown away by the final result.
We're thrilled to say that the Airbnb has remained fully booked for months since she left! If you're looking to take your Airbnb to the next level and really stand out from the pack, we wholeheartedly recommend hiring Virginia. She's trustworthy, creative, organized, and reliable."

Interior Design FAQs
How does the payment process work?
For full service design projects and furnish and style services, I typically collect a deposit upfront to start the design phase. The remainder is split into payments throughout the process as ordering and installations occur. Detailed payment schedules are outlined in every proposal.
Can I hire you if I'm already working with a contractor?
Absolutely! I frequently collaborate with contractors and other trades people to ensure a seamless, cohesive experience for construction projects of any scale. My role is to act as the design lead and your personal ambassador throughout the renovation.
Do you do one-off rooms?
Yep! Same process applies, I'll still build you a custom proposal for the room you want designed.
Do you travel outside the Charlotte/Lake Norman area?
Yes, I do. Although I'm happy to travel to you, I'm not offering solely virtual design services at this time.
Do you have a signature design style you stick with?
I prioritize a personalized approach to each design project - ensuring your own signature style shines through, not mine! I'm a versatile designer, able to tap into any aesthetic, from eclectic maximalism to soft minimalism and everything in between. The common thread is creating deeply livable spaces tailored to your lifestyle and personality.
