Our Design Process
Working with an interior designer in Seattle should feel exciting not overwhelming. At Oak & Aura, our process is thoughtfully structured to guide you from the first idea to a fully realized space, with clear communication and no surprises along the way.
1.Discovery Call
Every project begins with a brief 15 minute discovery call.
During this conversation we will discuss your project goals, timeline, investment range, and the vision you have for your home. This call allows us to determine if we are the right fit and helps us understand how we can best support your project.
If it feels like a good match, we will move forward with the next step.
2.Consultation & Project Planning
Next, we schedule a more in depth consultation to fully understand your space and design goals.
We will review the layout of your home, discuss your lifestyle needs, and explore the aesthetic direction you envision. This step allows us to gather all the details needed to create a design plan tailored specifically to you.
Following the consultation, you will receive a design proposal outlining the scope of work, design approach, and next steps for the project.
3. Design Development
This is where the vision begins to take shape.
We develop a complete design concept that reflects your style while ensuring the space functions beautifully for everyday living. Depending on the project, this stage may include:
• Space planning and layout development
• Concept boards and material selections
• Furniture and decor sourcing
• Finish selections for renovations
• Renderings and design visuals
Every element is carefully curated to create a cohesive, elevated interior.
4.Implementation & Styling
Once the design plan is finalized, we guide the process of bringing the space to life.
We coordinate furniture orders, finalize design selections, and oversee the installation to ensure every detail is executed with care. The final step is styling the space, layering textures, materials, and finishing touches that create the warm, refined atmosphere Oak & Aura Designs is known for.
The result is a home that feels thoughtfully designed, beautifully cohesive, and truly yours.
Final Step: Enjoy Your Home
Your home should feel like a retreat from the outside world—welcoming, calm, and inspiring every day you walk through the door.
Our goal is to create spaces that not only look beautiful but also support the way you live.
