Interior Design for General Contractors | Portland, OR
Your clients get a design partner. You get a project that runs.
Design With Refinement partners with general contractors whose clients need design guidance during a remodel. We specialize in selections - finishes, fixtures, tile, cabinetry, lighting, and materials, so your clients make confident decisions and your project keeps moving.
This is not a staging service or a decorating consultation. It is focused, process-driven design support scoped specifically to what contractors and their clients need during a build.

Our Process
-
SELECTIONS MADE SIMPLE
We guide your clients through every finish and material decision, tile, countertops, fixtures, cabinetry, hardware, and lighting, so they arrive at your trades with a complete package, not a question list.
-
YOUR TIMELINE, RESPECTED
We work within your project schedule. You tell us when decisions need to be made. We make sure your clients are ready.
-
ONE CALL THEY WON'T MAKE TO YOU
When design questions come up mid-build, your clients have someone to call who already knows their project. That call doesn't have to be you.
-
A PROJECT THAT KEEPS MOVING
Confident clients make faster decisions. Faster decisions mean fewer delays. We exist to keep your project on schedule and your clients feeling taken care of.
What we do for your clients
Kitchen and bath selections
Tile, countertops, cabinetry finishes, fixture placement, hardware, and lighting. We provide a complete selections package your clients can hand directly to their trades.
Finish schedules and specification
Every product specified by room, with vendor, finish, dimensions, and quantity. No ambiguity for subs. No client second-guessing after demo.
We step in at the selections phase and guide homeowners through every material and finish decision in their remodel. We know the questions that stall a project, and we know how to answer them.
Decision support throughout the build
When questions come up mid-project, your clients have someone to call who knows their project. That call doesn't have to be you.
Who we work with
We partner with contractors who build quality projects and want their clients to have a great experience from contract to move-in. If your homeowners are asking design questions you don't want to answer, or making selections without guidance that come back to haunt the project, we should talk.
How the partnership works
When you have a client who needs design guidance, you make the introduction. We handle the rest — onboarding, selections sessions, deliverables, and client communication on all things design.
Our scope is scoped tightly to selections and specifications. We do not manage your subs, direct your crew, or change your project timeline without your knowledge. Design decisions stay in our lane. Construction decisions stay in yours
Projects are priced per engagement based on scope. We offer a flat program fee covering the selections work from start to finish.
Fewer design-related delays. Clients who feel taken care of. A clear division between construction decisions and design decisions — so neither of you is managing the other's job.
We work within your project timeline, communicate directly with your homeowners on design matters, and flag anything that affects scope or schedule before it becomes a problem.
