our process
Design made effortless, from first idea to final detail.
At Katie Rainey Design, we believe that a home should feel effortless, functional, and beautiful. Our process is designed to guide you from idea to reality with clarity, creativity, and care. Here’s how we bring your vision to life in 7 simple steps:
- We refine every detail—from layouts and finishes to lighting and custom pieces—making sure each element works beautifully together while supporting the way you live. Function, flow, and comfort are always top of mind.
- We handle sourcing, purchasing, and delivery of furnishings, finishes, and custom pieces. Everything arrives on time and in place, creating a seamless installation experience.
- We bridge creativity and execution by supporting your builder and trades throughout the construction phase. We review drawings, confirm details, troubleshoot challenges, and ensure your design is executed exactly as envisioned.
5: design implementation & construction support
6: procurement & installation
7: final reveal & project wrap up
- Finally, we guide you through your transformed space, ensuring every detail is in place and every flow is intentional. The project is officially wrapped, and your home is ready to support the way you live—beautiful, functional, and uniquely yours.
- We begin with a conversation—about your home, your lifestyle, and how you want to feel in the space. This is our chance to learn what matters most to you and determine if your project is the right fit for our team. Once we align, we create a tailored scope of work and officially kick things off.
- Here’s where the fun begins! We translate your personality, inspirations, and daily rhythms into a clear design direction. Mood boards, material studies, and layout ideas start to bring your vision to life.
- We take measurements, review plans, and assess opportunities and constraints. Early collaboration with your builder, architect, or trades ensures your design is feasible, functional, and ready to move forward smoothly.
