We are a full-service interior design studio. One studio runs the whole process — design, sourcing and purchasing your furnishings and fixtures, and coordinating construction with a vetted contractor and trade network — so you are not stitching together a designer, a buyer, and a builder yourself.

We don’t take on clients in a GC role. We design your home, purchase the furnishings and fixtures, and coordinate construction with trusted contractors and trades. Our drawings convey design intent (they are not construction documents), and the licensed contractor builds the work.

Yes. We manage the entire project as a single accountable studio, from design through construction. We design your home, source and purchase furnishings and fixtures, and coordinate construction with a vetted contractor and trade network, ensuring the design intent carries through to the finished room. We coordinate the build; the licensed contractor performs the construction.

Most designers give you a plan and step back, leaving you to manage purchasing and the build. We stay accountable through the entire project, with weekly written updates, written approval before anything is purchased, and a room-by-room line-item budget, so nothing falls through the cracks between the plan and the finished room.

Many of our clients come to us after a project that stalled or went over budget. The difference is one accountable studio and a documented process. You always know what is happening, what it costs, and what is coming next, because it is in writing every week, and nothing is ordered without your sign-off.

It depends on the scope, the rooms involved, and the level of finishes. What stays consistent is how we handle it: every project gets a room-by-room line-item budget up front, and we never purchase anything without your written approval, so the investment is clear before money is spent.

Timelines vary with the size and complexity of the work. We map out the schedule before construction begins and check in with a written progress note each week, so you always know where the project stands rather than wondering.

We focus on full-home remodels and renovations, from a single signature room to a whole-house project. These are substantial investments where coordination and accountability matter most.

Yes. Alongside residential remodels, we design and manage select commercial spaces like tasting rooms and showrooms, using the same one-studio process from design through finished space.

AVCO Design is based in Sebastopol and works with clients across Sonoma County, including Santa Rosa, Healdsburg, Sonoma, Petaluma, and Forestville, as well as Napa, Marin, and select projects in the greater Bay Area, including Berkeley.
