Curated Residential Interior Design
At Valérie Morisset Design, we create thoughtfully curated homes that are both beautiful and deeply personal. Whether undertaking a new build, a substantial renovation, or a complete furnishing project, we guide our clients through every stage of the design process with a meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to timeless design.
Our work begins by understanding the architecture of a home and the lifestyle of those who inhabit it. We believe that the most enduring interiors are not simply decorated, but carefully composed—layering architectural integrity, fine craftsmanship, meaningful objects, and modern comforts to create spaces that feel authentic and effortlessly elegant.
Collaborating closely with architects, builders, artisans, and specialized consultants, we oversee every aspect of a project from concept development through final installation. Each decision is approached with intention, ensuring a cohesive vision that balances beauty, functionality, and longevity.
As homes continue to evolve, we thoughtfully incorporate the latest advancements in home automation. Working alongside trusted technology partners, we seamlessly integrate lighting control, motorized window treatments, climate management, security, and entertainment systems into the overall design. By considering these elements from the outset, we ensure that modern conveniences enhance daily living while remaining discreetly integrated into the architecture of the home.
Known for creating layered interiors that feel collected rather than decorated, our studio draws inspiration from architecture, art, travel, and the unique stories of our clients. The result is a home that reflects a sense of place, a sense of history, and above all, the people who live within it.
Each project is approached with the belief that exceptional design should enrich everyday life, creating homes that are not only beautiful today, but enduring for years to come.
What Sets Us Apart
At the core of our studio is a commitment to integrity, creativity, and thoughtful collaboration. We believe the most successful projects emerge from strong relationships, open communication, and a shared vision. By combining meticulous attention to detail with a highly personalized approach, we create homes that are both meaningful and enduring.
UPHOLSTERY
Our upholstery services offer a complete transformation for your furniture, whether you are looking to restore a cherished piece or create something entirely new. We specialize in custom upholstery, ensuring each piece is tailored to your exact specifications. We focus on quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. With expert advice on fabric selection and design, we help you choose the perfect materials that not only enhance the aesthetic of your space but also provide durability and comfort for years to come.
Phase 1 — Discovery & Evaluation
Every home has a story, and every successful project begins with understanding yours. During this initial phase, we take the time to learn how you live, what inspires you, and how you envision your home supporting your lifestyle both today and in the years to come.
We begin with a comprehensive assessment of the property, documenting existing conditions and evaluating the home's architectural character, opportunities, and constraints. Working alongside trusted specialists and contractors, we also review key systems and technical considerations to ensure that future design decisions are informed, realistic, and aligned with your goals.
This phase lays the foundation for the entire project, providing clarity, uncovering possibilities, and ensuring that the design process moves forward with confidence and purpose.
A Focus on Quality
Phase 4 — Procurement Management
With the design finalized, we begin the process of sourcing and securing the many elements that will bring your home to life. From custom furnishings and lighting to materials, textiles, and decorative pieces, we carefully coordinate purchasing to ensure that each item aligns with the approved design vision.
Our team manages communications with suppliers, artisans, and manufacturers, reviewing custom details, samples, specifications, and production documents as required. We also oversee order placement and monitor progress throughout the procurement process, keeping clients informed and involved in key decisions along the way.
This phase ensures that every element is thoughtfully selected, properly documented, and ordered in a timely manner, helping to create a seamless transition from planning to execution.
DESIGNER DRAPES
We provide a comprehensive selection of custom window treatments, including designer drapes, solar and opaque shades, motorized options, and louvers. Our window treatments offer a range of benefits that can significantly enhance your home’s style and functionality. Beyond their visual appeal, window treatments provide practical advantages, such as improved light control, privacy, and insulation, helping to regulate temperature and reduce energy costs.
Phase 2 — Concept & Space Planning
With a clear understanding of your home and lifestyle, we begin transforming ideas into a cohesive design vision. During this phase, we explore how each space can best support the way you live, creating thoughtful layouts that balance beauty, comfort, and functionality.
We develop the overall design direction through carefully curated materials, finishes, furnishings, lighting, and decorative elements, establishing the character and atmosphere of the home. Mood boards, visual references, and preliminary selections help bring the concept to life, allowing you to experience the look and feel of the design before detailed planning begins.
This is often the most inspiring stage of the process, where possibilities are explored, key decisions are made, and the foundation of your future home begins to take shape.
Phase 5 — Construction Site Visits
During construction, we remain actively involved to help ensure that the approved design is executed as intended. Through regular site visits and ongoing collaboration with contractors and trades, we monitor progress, address questions and challenges as they arise, and help guide key decisions throughout the construction process.
Our role is to protect the integrity of the design, advocate for our clients, and ensure that the project moves forward smoothly from concept to completion.
HOME AUTOMATION INTEGRATION
Modern homes should be as intelligent as they are beautiful. As part of our design process, we collaborate with trusted technology specialists to seamlessly integrate home automation systems into the overall design of the home. From lighting control, motorized window treatments, and climate management to security, audio, and entertainment systems, we ensure that technology enhances everyday living while remaining discreetly integrated into the architecture and interiors. Thoughtfully planned from the outset, these systems provide comfort, convenience, and peace of mind without compromising the beauty of the space.
Phase 3 — Detailed Design
With the design direction approved, we refine every detail and translate the vision into a comprehensive set of drawings and specifications. This phase provides the technical foundation required for contractors, trades, and suppliers to accurately price and execute the project.
We prepare detailed plans and design documentation, while finalizing all materials, finishes, furnishings, lighting, and decorative elements. Each selection is thoughtfully considered to ensure that every component contributes to a cohesive and harmonious result.
A comprehensive procurement schedule is also developed, outlining the furnishings, custom pieces, finishes, lighting, textiles, and accessories that will ultimately bring the design to life. By the end of this phase, every major design decision has been made, providing a clear roadmap for both construction and implementation.
Phase 6 — Installation & Styling
This is the moment when the vision becomes reality. We oversee the placement of furnishings, artwork, textiles, and decorative elements, carefully layering each space to create a sense of balance, warmth, and sophistication.
Through thoughtful styling and meticulous attention to detail, we ensure that the completed home feels polished, welcoming, and deeply personal. We walk through the finished spaces with you, making any final adjustments needed to ensure that every detail reflects your expectations and that you feel completely at home in your new environment.
