House Palette is a full-service residential design firm with locations in Palo Alto, CA and Bainbridge Island, WA. We approach each project with a proven set of processes and systems, from initial contact through project completion.
When you contact us, (here!), you will tell us a bit about your project. After that, if it seems to be a fit, we can schedule an initial (free) phone call to introduce ourselves and talk more.
After the phone call, if we are both ready to move forward, we’ll schedule a two-hour onsite working session. During this get together, we’ll do a walk-through, talk about ideas, and thoroughly define the scope of work. This is a great way to see how we would approach designing your space, and whether we are right for each other.
We create environments that are timeless, fresh and livable. First, we like to make sure the bones are right and the functional needs are being met. Then we like to layer on classic (whether modern or traditional), long-lasting materials that are more permanent: the flooring, doors, cabinets, tile. Lastly, we like to layer on fresh elements through lighting, furniture and art, that feels just right. We focus on layering different textures in a space, and getting proportion and scale right. Our clients range from young families that have no time, to empty nesters that need a complete re-do.
We specialize in:
space planning
kitchen and bath design
architectural details and finish selections
custom furniture and decor procurement
construction documents and permit approval (interior remodeling)
Collaboration with architects, builders and trades.
Please contact us and tell us a bit about your project needs. We would love to hear from you.
