Process
As a luxury interior design studio based in Vancouver, Hungerford Interior Design believes every space should tell a story — one that is personal, intentional, and beautifully executed. We begin by understanding how you live, what inspires you, and the emotion you want your home to evoke. This foundation allows us to craft tailored interiors rooted in timeless design, refined craftsmanship, and thoughtful detail.
From concept to completion, our Vancouver based firm follows a holistic, collaborative process. We consider flow, proportion, materiality, and light at every stage, ensuring each decision supports both beauty and function. Guided by principal designer Janie Hungerford and supported by a dedicated project manager, clients experience clear communication, seamless coordination, and a curated journey from initial vision to final installation.
Every project receives the same level of care — whether a full home transformation or a single-room refresh. Clients also gain access to our network of artisans, fabricators, and specialists who share our commitment to excellence. No matter the scope, our process ensures a tailored, client-centered experience that results in spaces that feel deeply personal and effortlessly refined.
Curated Craftsmanship
Craftsmanship is central to our work. We collaborate with master artisans, millworkers, and craftspeople to bring timeless craftsmanship into every detail. From bespoke furniture to hand-finished plaster and custom metalwork, we believe exceptional design is built on meticulous execution.
We are intentional in sourcing heirloom-quality materials — natural stone, fine woods, rich textiles, and metals with a living patina. By combining traditional techniques with modern innovation, we create interiors that embody depth, artistry, and enduring refinement.
Materiality & Provenance
Materiality plays a defining role in our tailored interiors. We thoughtfully layer old and new — pairing European vintage pieces and heirloom-quality furnishings with contemporary custom work — to create homes that feel collected rather than decorated. Every piece carries meaning and contributes to a sense of lived-in beauty.
Sustainability is woven throughout our approach, from responsibly sourced materials to preserving architectural details that honour a home’s history. By partnering with artisans and workshops committed to time-honoured craft, we ensure every selection holds integrity, provenance, and enduring artistry.
Seamless Execution
Once the design vision is finalized, our luxury interior design studio shifts into precise technical execution, ensuring a seamless transition from concept to reality. Our team prepares comprehensive construction documentation — including detailed floor plans, elevations, reflected ceiling plans, millwork drawings, and specifications — to guide the build with accuracy. We collaborate closely with architects, contractors, and trades to align every detail, minimizing challenges and maintaining efficiency throughout the construction process.
Budgeting is approached as a true partnership. Rather than fitting your goals into preset limits, we work with you to align investment, quality, and vision. The process concludes with a thorough site walkthrough, where we refine final details and ensure flawless installation. The result is a home that feels effortlessly curated, deeply personal, and built to last.
