Renovation & Remodel Interior Design in Maryland

Kitchen remodel before and after in Kent Island, MD — Kristen Shock Interiors

A renovation is one of the most significant investments you will make in your home, and design decisions made early have a lasting impact. Renovation and remodel design is for homeowners who are changing the physical structure of a space — reworking a kitchen layout, reimagining a bathroom, opening up a floor plan, or updating finishes throughout the home.

As your interior designer, I help you plan the space before construction begins so that the finished room works beautifully for your family. I serve renovation clients across Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, and Washington D.C., working alongside your contractor and trades to keep the design vision intact.

What's Included

  • Design concepts and inspiration direction
  • Layout planning and space optimization
  • 2D drawings and 3D renderings
  • Finish, fixture, and material selections — tile, cabinetry, countertops, plumbing, hardware, and lighting
  • Contractor and trade coordination
  • Installation guidance and site check-ins

My Approach

Renovation design is where function matters most. I study how you move through the space: where you prep and cook, how traffic flows during busy mornings, where storage is missing, and where light is underused. Good layouts make a room feel effortless long after the novelty of new finishes wears off.

I then translate that plan into a cohesive palette of finishes and fixtures. My goal is always timelessness — selections that feel fresh today and still look considered in fifteen years. Renderings let you see the space clearly so you can make confident decisions before anything is ordered or installed.

Throughout construction, I act as the bridge between the design and the build. I communicate with your contractor and trades, answer questions as they arise, and help resolve the inevitable surprises so that what gets built reflects what we planned.

Why It Matters

Renovations can feel stressful, but having a designer involved early often saves time, prevents costly changes, and gives you peace of mind. You will know what your finished kitchen, bath, or living space will look like before demolition starts.

If you are planning a remodel — whether it begins next month or next year — let's talk about your goals and how design can make the process smoother.

When should I bring in an interior designer for a renovation?+

As early as possible — ideally before construction plans are finalized — so layout and finish decisions support how you want to use the space.

Will I be able to see the design before construction?+

Yes. I provide 2D drawings and 3D renderings so you can visualize the space and make decisions with confidence.
