Process
At Hungerford Interior Design, we believe that every space tells a story—one that is deeply personal, thoughtfully curated, and beautifully executed. Every project begins with a deep understanding of our clients—their lifestyle, their vision, and even the details they may not yet know they want. We work collaboratively to bring these ideas to life, creating spaces that are as beautiful as they are functional.
From concept to completion, we take a holistic approach, considering the big picture while refining the intimate details that elevate a home. Whether it’s the flow of a room, the tactile experience of custom textiles, or the perfect balance of light and proportion, we approach every decision with intention.
Our principal designer provides expert guidance and creative direction throughout the process, ensuring each project receives the highest level of care and attention. A dedicated project manager serves as the key point of contact, facilitating seamless coordination and clear communication. Clients also gain access to an extensive network of artisans, fabricators, and specialists who share our commitment to excellence.
Every project is approached with the same level of thoughtfulness and dedication, whether designing a full-scale residence or bringing new life to a single space. No matter the scope, we prioritize a tailored experience, ensuring that each home reflects the vision, lifestyle, and individuality of the people who live in it.
Curated Craftsmanship
Craftsmanship is at the heart of our design philosophy. We partner with the finest artisans, millworkers, and craftspeople to create interiors that are as enduring as they are exquisite. Whether commissioning bespoke furniture, hand-finished plaster walls, or intricate metalwork, we believe that exceptional quality lies in the details.
We take great care in sourcing timeless, authentic materials that develop character over time—natural stone, fine woods, textural linens, and metals with a lived-in patina. By embracing both traditional and innovative techniques, we ensure that every space embodies a sense of artistry, depth, and refinement.
Materiality & Provenance
We are passionate about working with materials that not only enhance a space aesthetically but also hold meaning and integrity. Our designs emphasize a thoughtful mix of old and new—blending heirloom-quality pieces, vintage finds, and contemporary design to create homes that feel collected, not decorated.
Sustainability is woven into our approach, from responsibly sourced materials to the restoration of architectural details that preserve a home’s history. By seeking out artisans and workshops with a dedication to craftsmanship, we ensure that every piece in our projects carries a story of provenance and artistry.
Seamless Execution
Once the design vision is established, we move into technical precision and execution, ensuring a smooth transition from concept to reality. Our team meticulously prepares construction documentation, including detailed floor plans, elevations, reflected ceiling plans, and specifications. We work closely with architects, contractors, and trades to align all elements, minimizing challenges and ensuring efficiency in the building process.
Budgeting is a key part of our process. Rather than working within pre-set limitations, we collaborate with our clients to align their budget with their vision, ensuring that the construction and finishing costs are in harmony with the level of quality and craftsmanship they desire.
The final stage is a full site walkthrough, where we refine the last details, ensuring every element is executed to perfection. The result? A home that feels effortlessly curated, deeply personal, and built to last.
