What is Full Service Interior Design?

It means you don’t have to spend your nights, weekends, & holidays measuring your living room, comparing sofas, tracking packages, calling the contractor, or wondering where the heck that missing box went. 😂

We handle all the details for you throughout the entire process.

It’s about having someone who can look at the big picture, make all the pieces work together in a creative way you couldn’t have envisioned, and manage everything behind the scenes so you don’t have to.

Sounds like a dream? Schedule a Discovery Call through the link in our bio.

7 years of Cristina Isabel Design. 🥳

The first five years were really hard. And I’m so grateful we made it here.

We’re still a work in progress, and I still have so many goals for Cristina Isabel Design, but when I look back at these seven years, I feel incredibly grateful for everything this business has brought into my life.

The clients who have trusted our vision. The projects we’ve gotten to work on. The clients who continue to come back to us. The friendships we’ve created along the way.

We’ve had the opportunity to be part of so many different seasons of our clients’ lives—from dating and getting engaged to getting married, having babies, going through divorce, and everything in between.

And at the end of the day, that’s what I love most about what we do. We get to help people create homes that support them through all of those seasons and help them thrive at home.

Cheers to many more years 🥂

This breakfast banquette looks simple… but there were A LOT of decisions behind it. 👀

We had to figure out the size and layout of the built-in, how much storage we needed, the door style, hardware, finish, and even the crown molding.

Then came the banquette itself. We pushed it out a few inches to make getting in and out easier, determined the cushion height, and worked with our upholsterer to choose a durable, easy-to-clean vinyl for the seat and soft velvet for the back.

We also had to think about everything around it: the wallpaper, sconces, mirror, dining table, and chairs—making sure all of those elements worked together without competing with each other.

One built-in. Dozens of decisions. And every one of them matters.

Level up Level Up!

Clients have told us recently they love how organized our process is!

This is music to our ears because we’ve worked hard to streamline our processes to give clients peace of mind!

However, interior design is wonderfully complex, and we are always looking for ways to elevate our work.

Lately, that means leveling up our internal operations.

We’re streamlining our systems and expanding our team with a new social media manager and administrative assistant.

Having extra hands on deck means I get to focus more on you—the client journey, our relationships, and sharing more behind-the-scenes moments.

Yay for leveling up! 🥳

3 things our clients told us before we designed this room...

1️⃣ “Our house looks like it has multiple personality disorder.”

2️⃣ “We are desperate to get help pulling something together that is warm and cohesive.”

3️⃣ “We have two young children, so we need things that are kid-safe, not super breakable, and not too nice.”

So we got to work. We created a cohesive color palette, reworked the layout, incorporated pieces they already owned, and introduced new furniture, wallpaper, and finishes that made the space feel like it belonged together.

And because this was a virtual design project, our 3D renderings gave them a clear picture of the finished space before making any purchases.

Do you think we checked all their boxes? 👀

3 things I love about this playroom. 🌈

1. The yellow + wallpaper combination. 💛
We pulled inspiration from the photos and mood board for this project to create this fun combination. I love how it brings so much personality into the room.

2. The arts & crafts area. 🎨
The organized pegboards give the kids a dedicated space for all their creative projects while keeping everything within reach.

3. The custom storage. 🧩
The homeowners use the custom storage to tuck away all their board games and extra arts & crafts supplies, keeping the room organized without taking away from the playful design.

A playroom should be fun, creative, and functional, and I love how this one does all three. 🤍

Swipe through for a peek at everything that happens behind the scenes.

There’s so much more happening than what you see in the finished photos.

From figuring out how a space needs to function, to making hundreds of design decisions, sourcing the right pieces, coordinating with our team of vendors, and solving all the little things that come up along the way… there’s a LOT that goes into bringing a project to life.

And honestly, it’s worth it! 😉

How do you make a colorful home feel cohesive? 🖼️

It starts with finding a focal point that can guide the rest of the design.

Maybe it’s a rug you love, a piece of art, wallpaper, a color palette, or even a general theme you’re drawn to.

From there, we can pull colors, wood tones, fabrics, patterns, and furniture that complement those focal points and help carry them throughout the space.

The key is making sure the different elements relate to each other so the space feels intentional and pulled together.

If creating a cohesive home is on your list, we’d love to help.

PSA: Your sofa does not have to be gray! 🎨

In fact, sometimes the sofa should be the star of the room.

A rich, saturated color can make a statement while the rest of the room plays supporting roles with smaller pops of color, pattern, and texture.

And with so many performance fabrics available in fun colors, having kids or pets doesn’t mean you have to stick to neutrals. 🙌

Would you go for a colorful sofa or play it safe with a neutral? 👇

Is there such a thing as a "Design Comfort Zone"?

A lot of people are afraid to commit to color, wallpaper, pattern, or even a bold piece of furniture because it feels like such a big decision.

What if you don't like it? What if you're stuck with it?

So they end up with the gray sofa, the neutral rug, the generic side table... and suddenly the room doesn't really feel like *them.*

Our job isn't to convince you to choose something you don't love. It's to help you see the possibilities and give you the confidence to make a decision that feels right for you.

That's why with our design process you'll get to see how everything comes together in a 3D Render before you commit.

Sometimes you just need to see it to realize, "Oh... I actually love that!" 😉
