Design Services
Full-service design, thoughtfully led from concept to completion.
We are a boutique firm that designs and manages highly personalized homes centered around the lifestyle and functional needs of the people who live there.
Designing a home involves hundreds of decisions, coordination across architects, contractors, vendors, and trades, and careful attention to both vision and execution. Our role is to guide that complexity so our clients can focus on their lives while we manage the details.
Serving the Washington DC area, Northern Virginia, and Maryland, Erika Bonnell Interiors partners with homeowners who value thoughtful design and experienced leadership throughout their project.
Who We Work With
Our clients are often busy professionals and families balancing demanding careers and full lives. They value thoughtful design, expert guidance, and a well-managed process that allows their home to evolve without adding more complexity to their schedules.
Through careful planning, clear communication, and experienced project leadership, we guide the many decisions required to bring a home together beautifully.
Renovations
Reimagining the homes you already love
Renovating a home requires balancing vision with the realities of construction. We work closely with homeowners and contractors to rethink layouts, guide design decisions, and manage the many selections required along the way.
From kitchens and baths to whole-home transformations, our role is to lead the design process while coordinating the many moving parts involved in bringing the project together successfully.
Just as importantly, we carry the design through to the final layers of the home. From furnishings and lighting to textiles, art, and finishing details, our goal is a space that feels complete—not like the project stopped at construction.
Furnishings + decor
The layers that bring a home to life
Whether furnishing a newly built home or refining existing spaces, we design interiors with the thoughtful layers that make a home feel complete.
From furniture and lighting to textiles, art, and accessories, we carefully curate every element so each room feels cohesive, comfortable, and personal.
Custom New Build
Guidance through one of the most complex projects a homeowner will undertake
Building a custom home is often a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From early plan review through the hundreds of design decisions that follow, we guide the process while coordinating closely with you, your architect and builder.
Our work extends far beyond construction selections. We design the home as a complete environment — shaping architectural details, materials, lighting, furnishings, and finishing layers so that when the project is complete, the home feels fully realized and ready to live in.
ADDITIONAL SERVICES
These services provide focused professional guidance for homeowners who want expert input before moving forward with decisions.
Plan Review /Red-Line Service
Bring us your architectural plans and we’ll review them with a designer’s eye — helping refine layouts, improve functionality, and identify opportunities before construction begins.
Semi-Custom New Build Selection
Selections can make or break the outcome of a semi-custom home. We help guide upgrade decisions, materials, and overall design direction so the finished home feels intentional and cohesive.
We focus on where to invest, where to simplify, and how to bring consistency across the home so it doesn’t feel pieced together. With so many decisions happening quickly, we provide clarity and structure to ensure the end result feels considered, balanced, and complete.
