Grau Design Studio’s lead designer Jennifer Hutton shares what it really takes to execute functional, timeless interiors from first meeting to final reveal.
Beautiful spaces are built on smart decisions, and most of them happen long before we select finishes. Here’s where I share what really goes into designing and managing a project: the construction coordination, the functional problem-solving, and the planning that protects your budget and timeline.
You’ll find project breakdowns, technical tips from the field, and the kind of insights that come from actually swinging a hammer and designing the space around it.
In addition to technical insights and construction know-how, this is a space where I share design inspiration, dreamy before-and-afters, creative ways to uplevel every part of your home, how to modernize your living spaces while maintaining historic homes, and so much more!
Consider this your resource for understanding the full scope of a Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill interior design project, from blueprints to the big reveal, and what to plan for when renovating your own space.
