Services
Alice Karlstad of By Necessity Interior Design offers a wide range of interior design services to help create the home of your dreams. I specialize in designs for residential homes that reflect my clients' personality and lifestyle. I can pull your house together for a modern and clean look or create an eclectic design using a collage of items including your "must keep" favorites.
Whether you want a room makeover, color direction, finishing touches, a seasonal room refresher or a grand plan, I can work within your budget. I will gladly meet with you in your home or my office to define your personal style and create a timeline to suit your immediate needs as well as long term plans.
I have created custom window treatments, bedding and pillows for many of my clients for more than 15 years. I work with some of the best independent seamstresses in town, which enables me to offer customized products at reasonable prices. We can create a window treatment for any size and shape window including complementary bedding and pillows in the fabrics and trim of your choice.
I begin most every design project with an in-home consultation that is convenient for you. During this consultation, I listen carefully to your project, discuss your personal likes and dislikes, and ask questions to help me formulate a custom design plan tailored to your budget.
I also provide consultation services when your design project includes multiple rooms and involves several paint color schemes, tile selection and layout design, flooring choices, and lighting placement.This option is common for new construction or remodeling projects where the homeowner is managing the project and completing the work but needs some professional guidance and direction.
