bluehouse architecture focuses on the interactive and collaborative design process working with both the owner to create a project that satisfies and exceeds expectations. Working with the owner to gain an understanding of his needs and requirements and communicating with the contractor to identify a solution that is possible within the work space are critical components of this process. This involves more than simply developing architectural drawings. Rather, from the beginning of a project, bluehouse develops a solid relationship based upon open communication among all parties. bluehouse actively guides the client through all the stages of design, from the initial meeting where the project parameters are defined, through creating the schematic design and developing completed construction/permit drawings.
"I came to Melissa & Bluehouse a number of years ago as I couldn't visualize the layout to accomplish my goals in what began as a kitchen remodel. Melissa's impeccable handling of my project from the word "go" is nothing but an understatement! Each and every detail I listed from want's & desires to fears & concerns were addressed. Living up to her word every step of the way, Melissa addressed my list while pointing out elements I hadn't thought of. She was aware of my limits and not only kept her bottom line under control, but she didn't design anything out of our budget. Considering we were on track to break ground in the spring of 2020, when Covid hit & supply chains derailed our start, Melissa was poised to do whatever needed to be done. In the end, rising costs & limited supply led us to delay construction until Jan. '23. As a TV news producer, I'm a tough cookie, and yet when I had questions, Melissa answered them honestly and often with visuals to help me understand what I needed to learn. I appreciated her teamwork attitude when working with the Structural Engineers let alone my amazing contractor! Melissa's perfectionism is the reason not one single measurement needed to be modified in what became not just a kitchen remodel, but a 1st-floor remake with our addition going both upstairs & down. When you consider who to hire, consider this, as a newswoman, I interview 3 people for every job, I don't cut corners and nothing gets swept under the rug. Melissa is THAT kind of pro! She is going to do right by you, because she knows what is at stake, and she is only going to put her name on something she stands behind. For that, and a million little reasons, without question, if I had another project, I'd hire her in a heartbeat!"

Interior designers and interior decorators have distinct roles. Interior designers manage a space's functionality and aesthetics through comprehensive planning, structural design, and adherence to building codes. They are professionally trained and often certified, which contributes to higher fees. In contrast, interior decorators focus solely on enhancing the appearance with color, furnishings, and decorative elements.
To prepare for working with an interior designer or decorator, establish a clear vision of your design goals and budget. Collect inspiration from completed projects and organize images that reflect your desired style. Define your objectives and key priorities, and communicate these details to the professional to ensure your project progresses smoothly.
An interior designer can save money by delivering a well-organized project that prevents costly mistakes and ensures adherence to building codes. Their expertise streamlines decision-making and secures trade pricing on materials, reducing additional markups. With strategic planning and professional coordination, you’ll lower the overall project expenses while optimizing design efficiency.
Interior design projects often take longer than decorating due to the need for structural planning, construction elements, and potential demolition. An interior design project may require two to three months to complete, while an interior decorating project often takes one to two months. Detailed planning and necessary approvals can extend the timeline for comprehensive projects.
Review each professional’s portfolio and compare their quotes to choose the right designer or decorator. Start by identifying three professionals whose work aligns with your design vision. Schedule meetings to assess how well they understand your requirements and whether they meet your project needs. This methodical approach helps you select the best design professional to bring your vision to life.
