GET TO KNOW WHAT WE DO
SERVICES
Whether you are looking to renovate only one room, a few rooms, or an entire house, Barbara Straub Interiors has you covered.
Inspired Residential Interior Design
Our goal for every project is to give our clients a sense of calm. We establish trust with our clients that we are there to handle all the details and create a home that is updated, yet timeless and livable.
WHAT WE OFFER
FULL FURNISHING DESIGN
-
We start with floor plans to ensure that we have the best layout for the space, and from there, we develop a design plan with you and source all of the furnishings, fabrics, lighting, carpet, paint, and wallpaper. Then we place orders, coordinate delivery, install everything, and style your space so that you can walk in the door and enjoy your beautiful new space that makes you want to host the next holiday party.
Cost: Starting at $5,500 per room
(Minimum of 1 full room within a 30 mile radius, 2 rooms within a 60 mile radius, or 3 rooms or more for homes beyond.)
MATERIAL SELECTION FOR RENOVATIONS AND NEW CONSTRUCTION
-
Think: bathrooms and kitchens, for example. We help you source tile, flooring, countertops, cabinetry, lighting, and hardware for these types of spaces. After meeting with you and getting to know your style and ‘vibe,’ we bring options to you to choose from that will work with the space and stay within the style that you love. We will then put together a spec book for your builder with all of the chosen items for each space…Trust us, he will love you for it!
Cost: Starting at $2,500 per room
(Minimum of 2 rooms within a 30 mile radius, 3 rooms within a 60 mile radius, and 4 rooms or more beyond.)
FULL SERVICE DESIGN
-
We help you with areas that include both soft materials, like upholstered pieces and curtains, as well as hard materials, like flooring and cabinetry. Think: a master bedroom and bathroom or a kitchen, living room, and dining room. We LOVE offering this service because we have found that when rooms are connected with design elements, they look better when done together. Unfortunately, when one room is renovated and looks gorgeous and new, it makes the adjoining room look outdated. It has been our experience that clients are most happy when the rooms that are within a sightline of one another are done at the same time so that there is a cohesive look. If the front rooms in your house are different from the back rooms and you can’t quite swing doing all of them, we recommend doing the ones that are closest together. We are certain that you won’t regret it!
Ever watch HGTV and think it all looks deceptively simple?
Right, that’s because they have a team behind the scenes that does everything from floor plans, to sourcing materials, purchasing, tracking, installing, and styling. There are so many moving parts in a home renovation or new construction project that it is easy to get overwhelmed and lose track of details. Let us be your “HGTV team,” minus the cameras – we have an organized process and we handle everything, start to finish, so you don’t have to stress or lift a finger.
