Material and Finish Selection in Nashville and Middle Tennessee
Interior Architecture and Design

Material and Finish Selection

Flooring, tile, countertops, paint, trim and hardware chosen to look good together and hold up over time.

Hundreds of choices stand between a plan and a finished room: floors, tile, counters, cabinets, paint, trim, hardware and lighting. Without a plan, it is easy to pick things that clash or that will not hold up. A designer helps you narrow the choices, test them together and order the right things at the right time. Homeowners and business owners in Nashville ask us to guide the process from samples to installation.

We start by learning your style, your use and your budget. We gather samples, show them together in your light and build a clear schedule of finishes for each room. We check durability, maintenance and lead times, coordinate with your contractor and suppliers and review deliveries and installation details so everything arrives and goes in as planned. Gather the colors and materials already in your home that will stay, such as flooring, counters or a favorite rug. New choices are judged next to these, and seeing them together early keeps the palette consistent and helps us avoid expensive surprises when samples arrive.

Seen together

We lay out samples side by side in your light, so you see how choices work together before you order.

Durable and practical

We consider wear, cleaning and moisture, so finishes still look good years from now.

Lead times managed

Some items take weeks to arrive. We plan orders so the schedule does not stall.
