A passion for creating beautiful spaces in Portland and beyond. From interior design in your home to your workspace, we will always work within your budget.

Who we are.

Friends Refinement Wagner and Lynn Conti have been working together since 2007 and bonded over their love of design, nature, and beautiful spaces. Over the years, they have worked on multiple projects including commercial, residential, and office spaces.

In 2021, they decided to formalize their business and launched Design With Refinement. With a focus on sustainability, unique procurement, and attention to detail, Refinement and Lynn bring balance and life to the spaces they design.

Refinement is a graduate of Portland's own Heritage School of Interior Design and an active member of the Interior Design Society of Portland, serving as co-chair of the renowned annual event, SWATCHED. Lynn holds a degree in Interior Design from Bassist College and has over thirty years of experience in design and decor.

How we approach each project

APPLYING OUR FORMAL TRAINING

The design aspects of space, color, balance, scale, and flow all impact the feeling your design will convey and all will be given great consideration.

DRAWING FROM OUR EXPERIENCE AS PROJECT MANAGERS

We know the importance of coordinating service providers and meeting timelines. It takes a special talent to keep them on schedule!

USING OUR PRACTICED LISTENING SKILLS

We ask for your input to determine objectives and collaborate accordingly.

VISUALIZING FOR YOU

Able to imagine changes, bring ideas to life and sketch them for you- conception to completion.

PAYING ATTENTION TO DETAILS

Working as a team, each of us contributes attention so that no detail is missed.

STAYING MINDFUL OF YOUR BUDGET

We work hard to come in at or under budget and let you know ahead of time if we don’t believe your amount is reasonable, not after the fact.

HANDLING EVERYTHING FOR YOU FROM SHOPPING TO MANAGING

We have worked extensively to compile a list of vendors, retailers, and accounts, and take pride in finding unique outside-the-box products for less than expected pricing.
