OUR Approach

At Nine Dot Design, we handle every detail from concept to completion, creating timeless, personal homes that are as functional as they are beautiful. We make the process seamless and enjoyable, so the journey is as rewarding as the result. Our specialties include:
 

New Home Construction

We collaborate with architects, builders, and contractors to ensure your new home reflects your lifestyle from the ground up. From space planning and finish selections to custom millwork and lighting design, we work closely with the full team to create a home that is cohesive, intentional, and uniquely yours.
 

Remodels & Renovations

Whether it’s a single room or a full-home transformation, we reimagine existing spaces to better fit the way you live. Our team handles everything from rethinking layouts and elevations to selecting materials, finishes, and fixtures, ensuring every decision works together to support your vision.
 

Furnishings & Décor

From multi-room refreshes to fully furnishing a new home, we source, customize, and curate every piece to complement your lifestyle. By blending trade-only furnishings with bespoke elements, we create layered, livable spaces that feel collected, not decorated. We oversee purchasing, ordering, and installation so every detail comes together seamlessly.
