Full-service interior design is a comprehensive approach that manages the details of a project from beginning to end, from concept development and space planning to materials, furnishings, procurement, and installation. At Laurie Gorelick Interiors, we take a thoughtful, highly personalized approach to every project, considering both the architecture of a space and the way our clients live in it. We collaborate closely with architects, builders, craftspeople, and artisans to ensure that every element of a project comes together cohesively.

The earlier, the better. Bringing an interior designer into a project early allows the architecture, layout, materials, lighting, furnishings, and other interior details to be considered together from the start. For renovations and new construction, early collaboration with the design team can help ensure that the architecture and interiors work together seamlessly and that important design decisions are made before construction is underway.

A decorator typically focuses on the furnishings and decorative elements of an existing space. An interior designer considers both the aesthetics and functionality of a space, including space planning, architectural details, materials, built-ins, kitchens, and other elements that may require coordination with an architect or builder. Laurie Gorelick is a formally trained interior designer who earned a degree in interior design from the New England School of Art & Design at Suffolk University, graduating at the top of her class. Laurie’s approach combines creativity with a disciplined, practical understanding of how a space functions and how its elements come together.

Yes. Collaboration is an important part of our process. We work closely with architects, builders, and trusted craftspeople and artisans to bring each project together beautifully and thoughtfully. With more than twenty-five years of experience, Laurie Gorelick Interiors has developed an extensive network of qualified professionals, tradespeople, and suppliers. This trusted network allows us to provide a highly personalized, concierge-level experience while ensuring that the many details of a project are carefully coordinated.

Laurie Gorelick Interiors specializes in whole-home renovations and remodels, and may also work with smaller projects focusing on a few rooms. We design kitchens, bathrooms, living spaces, bedrooms, and other interiors, as well as comprehensive whole-house projects.

Our work includes renovations and remodels as well as furnishing and design projects. Every project is approached holistically, with careful consideration of the architecture, the client’s lifestyle, and the overall feeling we want the home to convey.

Laurie Gorelick Interiors is based in Boston and Cape Cod and works with residential clients throughout New England and beyond. Our projects have included urban homes, suburban residences, and coastal properties. We also travel to job sites and work remotely when appropriate, allowing us to collaborate with clients and project teams beyond our immediate locations. Laurie is well-versed in designing for out-of-state clients with vacation homes on the Cape and Islands or elsewhere, providing client-focused and turnkey results.

The process begins with a discovery call or meeting, where we discuss the scope of the project, budget, anticipated time frame, and the client’s wants and needs. We also discuss our design process and fees so that everyone has a clear understanding of the project from the outset. If, after the initial consultation, the project feels like a good fit for everyone, we provide a client services agreement outlining the rights and expectations of all parties. Once the agreement is in place, we begin the design process.

The cost of an interior design project varies depending on its scope, size, complexity, and the level of services required. During the initial consultation, we discuss the project’s scope and budget and outline our design fees so that clients have a clear understanding of the investment before work begins. Because every project is highly personalized, we develop our approach and fees around the specific needs of each client and project.

A design presentation is where the vision for your project begins to take shape. Depending on the scope of the project, a presentation may include space plans, alternative furniture arrangements, suggestions for large-scale pieces, fabrics, finishes, materials, and one or more color palettes. We review the designs together, listen carefully to client feedback, and fine-tune the direction before moving forward. Once the final designs are approved, we begin procurement, typically prioritizing large-scale pieces and items with longer lead times. We also understand that projects sometimes unfold in phases, and we work with our clients to determine the pace and sequence that makes the most sense for them.

Absolutely. We understand that many clients have furniture, artwork, antiques, family heirlooms, and other possessions that are meaningful to them, and we make every effort to incorporate these pieces thoughtfully into a new design. When appropriate, we may recommend reupholstering, refinishing, or otherwise updating an existing piece so that it works within the overall design while preserving its character and provenance. We are also mindful of sustainability and look for opportunities to reuse and repurpose items whenever possible. Laurie Gorelick loves incorporating meaningful pieces into a home – she is not interested in creating cookie-cutter interiors. A holistic, highly personal approach guides every project.

Yes.
