Put your budget worries to bed.

We're all about quality interior design at Gem Design House, but we totally get that budget worries can be a real headache. So, we've whipped up a handy Room-by-Room Questionnaire.

It's designed to help you figure out the costs more easily, using your room measurements to cut down on the guesswork.

With this tool, you can start your home transformation journey with a clear mind and budget in hand!

Your house holds a lot of life, and that can get messy— but your home can still be beautiful.

Peaceful. Comfortable. Chic. Functional.

It can be all of those things, too.

A beautiful home should be livable—we want you to put your feet up.

But, if your spaces are adding stress—

But, if your spaces are adding stress—think cramped bedrooms, never-enough storage space, and illogical living room layouts . . .

. . . no amount of aesthetic will make your home feel *just* right. 

That’s where we come in!

HERE’S WHAT WE’RE LIKE TO WORK WITH

Hiring an interior designer should feel a lot like finding a friend— you’re about to get to know each other pretty well.

H O N E S T

From the durability and cost of your materials, to design choices, to any hang ups along the way, we’ll tell you the whole truth at every turn. You hired us for our expertise, & we’ll give it to you straight. Plus, we find this prevents miscommunications.

Funny how that works, right?

C O M M U N I C A T I V E

Odds are, you don't have the time to plan every little detail of your project. (Isn’t that why you’d hire us in the first place?) Since you’ve got better things to keep track of in your life, we’ll be sure to keep in touch with regular updates & progress reports on what’s happening.

P E R S O N A L

We’re family oriented in most things we do. We’ll treat your home—and your family—as if it were our own, being mindful of how your project impacts your life in the day-to-day.

Together, we’ll lay a solid foundation for your interior design project:  

Walk us through it (literally) & point out what’s bugging you about your home . . . 

PURPOSEFUL FUNCTIONALITY

First, we assess the function and purpose of the room based on how you use it and how you want the completed space to look and feel—while allowing you to be hands-off through the process.

I.

INTENTIONAL DESIGN

Next, we create a design & installation plan that addresses the pain points of the space and makes it more enjoyable and functional for you to spend time in it.

II.

STRESS-FREE INSTALLATION

Then, our team executes your project with the same level of care we’d apply in our own homes—preserving the sanctity of your space and your sanity along the way.

Santa cruz interior designers looks over construction drawings, blueprints, helps clients with furnishing plan

It’s hard to spend your quality time in a space you don’t truly love.

Whether it’s the look, the functionality, the space

or all of the above—

Your house could be holding you back from feeling at home & making those memories you’ve always dreamt about.

But when you start ticking through the to-do list of running your own project, confidently making design selections, and—you have got to be kidding me—managing construction. . .

It’s enough to make you back away slowly without making eye contact.

We take all of that off of your already-full plate.

  • Whether you are tackling furnishings only or embarking on a construction project . . .

    We’ll bring together every necessary element—countertops to the scented candle we'll light before the big reveal—to make the plan come to life from concept to furnishings.
