Our process isn't based on long questionnaires but a personal study of how a home is currently lived in — what feels unresolved, overwhelming, hidden, underutilized, or visually noisy — to create spaces that feel intuitive and deeply settled.
We develop multiple thoughtful design directions that help uncover what resonates most deeply and allow clients to move forward with confidence.
We prioritize permanence over novelty — creating homes layered with enduring decisions that feel just as grounded years later. The goal is never a “designer home.” It’s a home that feels unmistakably reflective of the people living in it.
We believe a well-designed home should reduce friction, soften overwhelm, and create a sense of exhale at the end of the day.
The process of designing your home can be stress free and fulfilling. Our role is to anticipate needs before they surface and guide our clients in the areas of process, scope, and budget.
It is the approach of touching each space in the home to create a comprehensive story. Our most convincing designs are those we get to renovate and furnish fully in a way that each element has a purpose.
Each client project is unique in need and scope. We craft our fees based on these elements and mutually define a scope of work. Every project begins with a walk through to establish the design fees on the front end.
Hope Miriam Designs works on all variety of residential projects – including new builds.
Our furnishing and renovation projects typically take 8-12 months and new builds usually take over a year. We encourage prospective clients to reach out 3-6 months prior to their preferred project start date. Good design takes time, and our best work is completed with the lead time to truly orient ourselves with the client and their needs.
Yes! Nothing tells a better story than an heirloom accent or a furnishing that has stood the test of time.
