Why You Should Professionally Furnish a Newly Renovated Space

Luxury Interior Design

January 24, 2025

A renovation transforms your space, offering a fresh start and the opportunity to create something extraordinary. But while the architectural details, custom finishes, and innovative layouts grab much of the attention, the role of professional furnishing cannot be understated. Thoughtful, well-designed furnishings complete the vision, elevating a renovation from a house update to a cohesive, timeless home.

1. Enhance the Design Intent

When a space is fully renovated and furnished at the same time, they work in perfect harmony. For example, our “Banner Elk Mountain Home” takes inspiration from the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains, reflecting this connection through both its architectural elements and furnishings.

This custom mountain house is full of beautiful, textural details, from the stair railings and reclaimed wood floors to the wood ceiling accents and the floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Beyond the architecture, the furniture was thoughtfully chosen to reflect the surrounding landscape, including tables designed to mimic the nearby trees. By aligning the interiors with the architectural vision, we create homes that feel balanced, intentional, and truly complete.

2. Maximize Functionality

A beautifully renovated space should serve your daily needs seamlessly. Professional designers consider how you live in your home, selecting furniture that optimizes flow, storage, and usability. Whether it’s a performance fabric sectional for an active family or custom shelving that integrates with your home’s architecture, furnishing is a critical part of making your space work for you. Designers also take into account how different rooms interact with one another, ensuring that the entire home functions cohesively for your lifestyle.

3. Celebrate Your Passions and Add Personality

We believe a home should tell the story of those who live in it. For instance, in our “Grasshopper Circle” project, we incorporated a whiskey collection into the design, using glass and iron shelving in a lounge painted a deep, moody blue to complement an existing wall mural. To add softness and texture, we included large area rugs, cozy pillows and throws, and colorful artwork.

The result was a space ready for hosting family and friends while reflecting the client’s passions. Personal touches like these create spaces that not only look beautiful but also carry deep emotional resonance, making every room feel meaningful.

4. Save Time and Stress

The furnishing process involves numerous decisions, from selecting materials to ensuring proper proportions. It can quickly become overwhelming. Working with professionals streamlines this process. We handle everything, from sourcing and ordering to coordinating delivery and placement, so you can enjoy the results without the stress. Our expertise also prevents costly mistakes, such as mis-measured furniture or pieces that clash with the overall design, saving you time and money in the long run.

5. Ensure Longevity and Quality

Investing in high-quality, durable furnishings pays off over time. Our team prioritizes pieces that stand the test of time, both in design and durability.

For example, in our “Walking Horse Trail” project, we incorporated performance fabrics and durable leathers to create furnishings that are both stylish and resilient. High-quality furnishings don’t just last—they also maintain their beauty and functionality, ensuring that your home looks as good a decade from now as it does today.
