A note from Andrea Valle
Hello and welcome to Andrea’s Innovative Interiors! I’m glad you stopped by to learn what makes our interior design consulting services unique.
My background as an industrial designer (I studied at Virginia Tech’s College of Architecture & Urban Studies) was steeped in classic Bauhaus design principles — simplicity, functionality, smart use of materials and conceptual multi-disciplinary thinking — that inform our approach to every project. My professional experience as an in-house designer and showroom associate further shaped our process and our commitment to the highest levels of client care and collaboration.
Whether it’s a professional workspace or a personal retreat, we believe that every space deserves to be both functional in its design and exceptional at reflecting your personal style. From a single impactful tile layout for your kitchen or bath to full-service design planning and execution, our a la carte consulting approach lets you select the services that fit your project needs:
Services Overview
-
Where every interior design project begins, our signature service is the kickoff to creating a comfortable, well-balanced commercial or residential environment. During a comprehensive site visit, we assess the space, talk about your goals and style preferences, establish the room’s foundation and floor plan, and discuss everything from color palettes to the best placement for art. At the end of the consultation, you’ll receive a detailed design plan that’s ready to execute. Or, our buildable a la carte services let you select the level of professional support you need to complete your vision.
-
Having trouble visualizing the possibilities? Using computer-aided design (CAD) software, we formalize our rough consulting sketches into a detailed layout. Drawn to scale and perspective, these detailed renderings include everything from sightlines and new wall openings (for a renovation) down to cabinetry layouts, furniture sizes and placement, fixtures, lighting and more.
-
We create highly tactile design boards (also known as sample boards) to bring our recommendations to life. These useful visual reference tools allow you to experience textures, evaluate colors, compare patterns and confidently narrow down selections to your favorite choices. Why these low-tech tools? Two reasons: Computer screens render color differently based on their calibration, and nothing beats real life to see, feel and decide.
-
Turning selected raw materials into high-impact statements and a finished look isn’t an easy process. Let us present detailed options for tile layouts, flooring designs and other visual elements so you can envision the big picture and make confident decisions.
-
Pressed for time, overwhelmed by choices, or simply not a shopper? We’ve identified the best resources for every budget and style, and can shop for you, with you, in store and online. Our professional discounts can often help you extend your resources and make the most of your design investment by offsetting our consulting fees.
-
Remember that design plan from our consultation? If you need help putting the pieces together, we’ll happily handle the installation for you. This includes placing items such as furniture, rugs, window treatments and artwork, then styling the room for maximum impact.
-
Andrea’s Innovative Interiors can take the project management reins for larger design projects and renovations. Let us coordinate with your contractor and other trade professionals to answer questions and address issues that arise during the process on anything from built-ins, flooring and lighting installation to other necessary construction changes. It’s helpful to have a team on your side to ensure the design intent is executed accurately.
Our services are flexible so you can tailor to your budget and project type, and buildable as your needs change or project scope expands. As your partner in design, we look forward to collaborating with you to make your next interior design project straightforward and stress-free.
