We begin with curiosity—listening, observing, and discovering what inspires you. Through site visits and conversations, we define your goals, scope, and aesthetic direction.
Deliverables: Consultation, design brief, and project proposal.


Our Process...

We start by getting to know you --

We translate your vision into concept drawings, material palettes, and detailed plans. Architecture, interiors, and furnishings are designed as one cohesive story.
Deliverables: Concept package, preliminary plans, curated selections.

Then we shape your vision.

Once the design is refined, we prepare the detailed drawings and specifications your contractor needs, including materials specifications guide and cabinet shop drawings, and help coordinate consultants so everything is accurate and aligned.
Deliverables: Permit drawings, consultant coordination, submittals.

Finally, we refine every detail.

About

TRAVIS BIRD

Highly recommend Emily for any remodeling or design work in the Seattle area. We recently completed a large project together that went smooth with great results due to her planning, management, and communication.

Emily did an outstanding job managing our remodel. She offered excellent design ideas, communicated clearly throughout the process, and ensured our high expectations were met. I could not have asked for more. It was a pleasure working with her on our remodel and I recommend Belle Design without hesitation.

Emily and her crew(s) have always been a pleasure to work with. Belle Design and Build have done 2 major projects at my house; total remodel of bathroom/bedroom and a Hot tub installation recessed into my back patio. Also, I don't have a lot of creative talent so it was nice to take advantage of Emily's experience and expertise to make the decorating decisions for the project. I will definitely call Belle again for future projects.

We could not be happier with our new kitchen, thanks to Emily and her team!  Emily did an amazing job designing a space that was functional for our family and fit our style and budget. Our project was completed over a year ago and my husband and I still find ourselves commenting frequently on how much we love our kitchen. We will absolutely call on her again for future projects.

We did a kitchen remodel with Emily about four years ago and we still marvel at how much we love our “new” kitchen! Emily used her great design skills to update the cabinet layout and went with us to pick out the new cabinetry, countertop material and sink. She provided highly skilled subcontractors who got the job done in a professional and timely manner.  We can whole-heartedly recommend Emily and Belle Design Collective for your home remodel needs!
