A. Houck Designs interprets our clients’ aspirations and brings them to life.

What starts as a color rendering to help clients visualize our design morphs into finished spaces they love…spaces that reflect their style and work for the way they live. We choreograph every step in the process, from the initial presentation to the final installation to ensure a seamless, stress-free – and fun! – experience.

Our design services can be tailored to the project needs but typically include:

  • Initial in-home consultation
  • Space planning and layout
  • Interior architecture and millwork
  • Furniture and fabric selection
  • Lighting design and selection
  • Paint and wall-coverings
  • Custom window treatments
  • Accessory and artwork selection

A. Houck Designs take a wholistic approach to design, recommending ways to improve the function and aesthetic beauty of the existing interior architecture and layout. That can mean shifting a doorway to improve flow or remaking an outmoded fireplace to fit the space’s new look.

Whether we are appointing one room or reimagining a whole house, the goal is always the same: to spark pure delight.

A. Houck Designs frequently collaborates with architects and builders on projects of all sizes, including custom homes, renovations, additions, and kitchen/bath updates. In both the pre-construction and construction phases, we work as part of the team to create the home or space of our clients’ dreams.

Our construction and remodeling services are tailored to project and client needs but can include:

  • Initial in-home consultation
  • Budget Planning
  • Space planning and perspective drawings
  • Design meetings and on-site coordination
  • Interior architecture and millwork
  • Lighting design
  • Tile, countertop and fixture selections
  • Paint, wall-covering and finish selections
  • Cabinetry and hardware selections
  • Appliance selections

The selections process – and sheer number of decisions to be made – can be daunting for a homeowner. We start by defining a style for the selections package that dovetails with the overall vision for the project. We then narrow down the vast array of choices and guide the final selections for a cohesive result.

A. Houck Designs ensures that the selections process stays on track and meets the builder’s timeline to avoid costly construction delays.
