Full-Home Design in Dunwoody

Full-Home Design provides comprehensive interior design for your entire residence. We design all interior spaces, from initial concept through finishing touches, creating a cohesive home.

What we do

Our process begins with a Design consultation to understand your home's scope. We then present your design, including drawings and material concepts. Construction documents detail the design for your contractor, and Material selections specify all finishes and fixtures. We conduct Jobsite inspections as construction progresses, and add Finishing touches to complete your home.

Who it suits

This service suits newly built homes in Chicago, Southwest Michigan, or Atlanta. It is also for homeowners undertaking major renovations of existing houses, such as a historic bungalow in Atlanta or a lake house in Southwest Michigan.

Questions

What is included in Full-Home Design?

Full-Home Design includes a Design consultation, Presentation of your design, Construction documents, Material selections, Jobsite inspections, and Finishing touches for your entire home.

How does Full-Home Design differ from your other services?

Full-Home Design covers all interior spaces of your home, unlike Kitchen Design, Bath Design, or Living Space, which focus on individual rooms. It includes documentation for construction, which Furnishing & Styling and Color Consultation do not.

What do I receive at the end of the design process?

You receive a complete set of Construction documents, including drawings and specifications, along with detailed Material selections for all finishes and fixtures in your home. We also oversee the Jobsite inspections and Finishing touches.

How long does a Full-Home Design project typically take?

The duration of a Full-Home Design project varies based on the size and complexity of your home. We will discuss a timeline during your initial Design consultation.

How do you work with my contractor for Full-Home Design?

We provide your contractor with Construction documents, which detail the design for their build. We conduct Jobsite inspections to ensure the design is implemented correctly during construction.

Homes in Dunwoody

Dunwoody homes include 1970s and 1980s brick ranches and two-story traditional homes in neighborhoods like Dunwoody Club Forest and Kingsley. These often feature smaller, enclosed kitchens, which we address with Kitchen Design and space planning to open up living areas. Many homes in areas such as Georgetown and Wynterhall are 1990s and 2000s construction, often with primary bathrooms that are divided into separate small rooms. We provide Bathroom Design to reconfigure these layouts into more cohesive and functional spaces. We also see many homes with unfinished basements, which we transform with Basement Remodel services.

What homeowners in Dunwoody ask for

Homeowners in Dunwoody often seek to update their 1970s and 1980s kitchens, opening them up to adjacent living spaces. We frequently work on Full-Home Design projects for 1990s homes, focusing on modernizing finishes and improving flow. Bathroom Design is a common request for primary bathrooms in homes from the 1980s and 1990s, where layouts can be inefficient. We also provide Furnishing & Styling for newly renovated spaces.

Full-Home Design work from the studio

About the studio

Two sisters, one studio

Jennifer Peterson founded J. Peterson Design in 2008 and leads our work in Chicago and Southwest Michigan. Her sister, Jill Kearns, leads the Atlanta studio. Together, we design homes that feel considered and beautiful, but also comfortable, functional, and personal to the people who live in them.

Although we work in different cities, we operate as one studio. We talk through plans, share ideas, question each other, and bring another experienced set of eyes to the decisions that matter. Being sisters makes that collaboration especially natural — there is a shorthand, an honesty, and a shared standard that has been there long before the studio.
