Your Interior Design MasterPlan created the vision. Designer By Your Side helps you bring it to life.
If you want to stay involved in your remodel without navigating every design decision alone, Designer By Your Side provides professional design leadership throughout implementation. You'll continue managing your project alongside your contractor while we guide selections, review important decisions, prepare documentation, and help ensure your vision is carried through construction. Think of us as your co-pilot. You're driving the project. We're beside you helping every major design decision feel informed and intentional.
Designer By Your Side is ongoing design support through construction for clients across Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, and Northern California who already have a contractor in place and want expert guidance close at hand as they lead execution themselves. It's especially valuable for phased or evolving projects, where decisions unfold over time and having guidance available along the way keeps everything moving in the right direction. It's the right fit once you've completed your Interior Design MasterPlan and want to stay closely involved, whether you're managing procurement yourself or working with a contractor who handles it.
We work through finishes, fixtures, and materials together, backed by our guidance and sourcing recommendations at every decision point.
A complete package for your contractor: finish schedule, cabinet drawings, appliance and plumbing specifications, lighting specifications, paint schedule, tile layouts, material specifications, and installation notes.
Have a contractor recommendation you're unsure about? We'll review it together and explain the pros, cons and possible alternatives before you decide.
We're on-site at the trade milestones that matter most (electrical, tile layout, cabinets, plumbing fixtures), so nothing gets built without a second set of expert eyes.
Every conversation and approval lives in one place, so you always know where things stand.
We stay available for questions as installation happens, so the decisions made on paper translate correctly on site.
If you haven't started yet, your first step is the Interior Design MasterPlan. Your Interior Design MasterPlan creates the vision, aligning your layout, budget, and direction before you build. Designer By Your Side brings that vision to life, guiding you through selections and construction. Designer By Your Side is available exclusively as a MasterPlan follow-on.
Designer By Your Side is built for clients who already have a contractor in place and want expert guidance close at hand as decisions come up through the build. It's especially well suited to phased or evolving projects, where having a steady point of contact keeps everything moving in the right direction as the work unfolds.
Once your Interior Design MasterPlan is complete and your contractor is in place, we start by confirming your finish and fixture priorities against your plan and your contractor's timeline. From there, we agree on site visits, review points, and how we stay in touch as decisions come up.
No. Designer By Your Side is available only as a follow-on to the Interior Design MasterPlan. Your Interior Design MasterPlan defines your scope, budget, and design direction, so every decision we guide you through during selections and construction builds on a clear plan.
When it comes to your home's layout, materials, and finishes, we can develop practical solutions for layout, materials, and finishes in any room. Here are some examples of questions we can answer:
The Interior Design MasterPlan is the first step for every project with Harty Interiors. It's a single, fixed-fee engagement that happens before construction, and it gives you a complete design concept, scope, and budget so you know exactly what you're building before you start. Designer By Your Side picks up where the Interior Design MasterPlan leaves off. With your contractor in place, we guide your selections, prepare your builder's design package, and stay involved through site visits and installation. It's a great fit if you want to lead your project with expert guidance close at hand.
The difference comes down to who's leading the project. With Designer By Your Side, you and your contractor lead execution, and we provide strategic guidance, reviews, and problem-solving along the way. With Full Service Interior Design, we lead the project from concept to completion, handling design development, vendor coordination, construction-phase support, and furniture selection and installation. If you want to stay hands-on with expert backup, Designer By Your Side is the fit. If you want a single point of design leadership managing the whole project, Full Service is the fit.
