We don’t specialize in one room or one phase of a project. The homes we’re proudest of were resolved entirely under one vision, from how the light falls in the entry to what’s on the kitchen shelf. Below is how that typically takes shape.
Residential Interior Design Services
Space planning · Material & finish selection · Custom millwork design · Lighting design · Furniture sourcing & specification · Art & object curation · Contractor coordination · Full project management
what's included:
For clients building new or starting fresh, this is our most complete engagement. We work alongside your architect and builder from the earliest stages, shaping everything from spatial flow and material palette to custom millwork and final furnishings.
FULL-SCOPE RESIDENTIAL DESIGN
Architectural consultation · Space reconfiguration · Material & finish selection · Custom & bespoke elements · Furniture & sourcing · Contractor oversight · Styling & final install management
What’s included:
For homes with good bones that deserve a considered update. We approach renovation with the same depth as new work, beginning with what the house already is, not what a trend says it should be. This is where our interest in old-and-new balance is most visible.
RENOVATION & REIMAGINING
Room-by-room assessment · Vintage & antique sourcing · New furniture specification · Art consultation · Styling & install
what's included:
For clients who have a home they love but want to layer it more thoughtfully. We bring our sourcing network and editorial eye to the rooms you already have, finding the pieces that have been missing, editing what no longer belongs, and pulling it into a more coherent whole.
SOURCING & CURATION
karen & ron Potter
"Portico has a point of view, and they hold it. we felt like we were in genuinely capable hands from the first meeting to the last detail. We're overjoyed with the final results. Thank you!”
from our client
Yes, and we prefer it. The best outcomes come from early collaboration. We’re experienced working as part of a broader project team.
03. Do you work with my existing architect or builder?
Most full-scope residential projects run between 10 and 18 months from first conversation to final install. Renovation timelines depend heavily on construction.
02. How long does a full-scope project take?
Yes. We take on projects throughout the region and occasionally further afield for the right project.
