Most clients come to me with an incomplete vision for their home. My goal is to complete it, then exceed what they thought was possible.
Great design and flawless execution don’t have to be separate conversations. Most clients come to us for both — a single partner who can translate a creative vision into a beautifully finished space. But if you’re looking for design or furnishing expertise alone, we offer that too. Whatever the engagement, you get the same eye for detail, the same standards, and the same thoughtful process that defines every Lugbill project.
In the design phase, every detail is resolved before construction begins. Space planning, fixture and finish selections, tile patterns, custom millwork, and material combinations are developed into a complete, buildable plan, then brought to life through 3D visualizations, so you can see exactly how each choice reads in your space. Layouts are tested, finishes are compared, and decisions are made with clarity before anything is locked in.
The difference between a stressful renovation and a seamless one is how it’s managed. We oversee every moving part — contractor coordination, material procurement, permitting, scheduling, and budget control — through a single, accountable team. Our long-standing relationships with trusted trades and vendors ensure consistent quality and reliable timelines at every phase.
One of many differentiators is how we manage communication. Client conversations, contractor calls, and internal meetings are captured and transcribed, creating a clear, running record of conversations, commitments, approvals, and next steps that can be queried with our AI tools on demand. Nothing slips between the cracks. Everyone stays aligned, and you remain informed and in control without being pulled into the day-to-day.
We curate furniture, lighting, textiles, window treatments, and accessories to reflect how you live, then manage every detail of sourcing, procurement, and coordination so the process is effortless from concept to delivery. Every selection is presented as a complete, cohesive concept — not individual pieces in isolation, but as a vision of how the finished space will actually look and feel.
We combine lifelike 3D renderings with AI-enhanced visualization to show you exactly how everything comes together. Fabrics, upholstery, artwork, and finishes can be explored, compared, and swapped out in near real-time within 3d models, so every detail is resolved before ordering, and nothing is left to the imagination.

"Elegance you're not afraid to live in." — Kate Rockwood
“We needed help decorating our home a year after moving in. Our old furniture simply didn’t go with the aesthetic. I called around and many places had crazy minimums and, since we weren’t doing construction work, we couldn’t meet. Then we met Erica. She was thoughtful, flexible, and came to the table with great ideas that matched what we had described… the end result was cohesive and beautiful decorating with a little extra something that makes it unique.”

“Every detail feels intentional, from the sculptural lighting to the curated furnishings and textures. Their ability to integrate architecture, design, and styling into one seamless outcome is remarkable. This was a full-service experience in the best sense, creative, organized, and deeply attentive to how we actually live in our space.”
