Designing in Chapel Hill

Established character and a high bar for craft

Chapel Hill homes reflect a community that values design and longevity. Established neighborhoods like Gimghoul, Westwood, and the streets around Franklin Street hold custom and period homes, while Meadowmont, Southern Village, and Briar Chapel bring planned, newer construction with their own design language.

The questions we hear most reflect that mix: thoughtful renovation and additions that respect an older home architecture, and furnishing or finish work that gives a newer home the character it was built without. In every case the work begins with planning: layout, scope, and budget resolved before any product is chosen.

Why House of Maevie

Why Chapel Hill clients choose us

Planning before products

We resolve the difficult decisions first: layout, structure, scope, and budget, so the choices that shape your home are made with clarity, long before construction begins.

Character, not trends

Homes that feel collected, personal, and rooted in the way you live, not built around what is popular for a season.

Guidance through complexity

From concept through installation, we coordinate the details and the trades so you can move forward with confidence.

What We Work On

Renovations, new homes, and complete furnishings in Chapel Hill

Renovations & Additions

We design whole-home and multi-room renovations and additions across the Triangle, from early space planning through construction and installation. Our studio stays closely involved throughout, managing creative direction, technical drawings, selections, and trade coordination.

Investment: single-space renovations start around $40,000 for a bathroom and run to $150,000+ for a kitchen, with design fees from $6,000 to $22,500.

New Construction Homes

For new builds, we join early, alongside your architect and builder, to shape layouts, finishes, and the full technical drawing set before ground breaks. The earlier we are at the table, the more we protect your vision and your budget.

Investment: design fees begin at $15,000 and scale with the size and complexity of the home.

Furnishing & Interiors

Complete furnishing for full homes and individual rooms, each held to the same standard as a whole-home project: layouts, custom pieces, sourcing, and styling installed end to end. Whether it is one room or every room, we design for how you actually live.

Investment: full-service furnishing begins around $25,000 per room, with design fees from $4,000.

Do I need a designer for new construction?

For new construction, bringing a designer in early is one of the highest-leverage decisions you can make. The choices made in the first months, including ceiling heights, window placement, traffic flow, and cabinetry runs, are the most expensive to reverse later. We work alongside your architect and builder from early planning through punch list, producing the technical drawing set, specifying finishes, and coordinating in person through installation.
