Full-service interior design for renovations, new construction, and whole-room furnishing across Raleigh and the Triangle.
WORK WITH US
Raleigh's Design-Led Renovation Studio
We specialize in renovations, additions, and new homes across Raleigh and the Triangle. Good planning counts here as much as beautiful finishes do. Our work starts long before you pick anything out, so you can make confident decisions about layout, cabinetry, and lighting. Those are the decisions you live with every day.
We take on a limited number of projects at a time. That way each home gets the planning, detail, and coordination it deserves.
WHY HOUSE OF MAEVIE
Why Clients Choose Us
01
Planning before products
We settle the hard decisions first: layout, structure, scope, and budget. That happens long before construction starts, so you’re never making a big call in a hurry.
02
Character, not trends
Homes that feel collected, personal, and rooted in the way you live, not built around what’s popular for a season.
03
Guidance through complexity
From concept through installation, we coordinate the details and the trades so you can move forward with confidence.
“Working with Susanne has been AMAZING! My husband and I are renovating a house and quickly realized we are in over our heads. Finding Susanne has been a lifesaver in helping us figure out the renovation design and finishes. A feature of her process that we especially appreciate is how collaborative and communicative Susanne is with us. Being able to rely on Susanne's expertise in carrying out our home ideas has even made the renovation process feel fun. I highly recommend working with House of Maevie.”

what we work on
Renovations, New Homes, and Complete Furnishings
our primary focus
Renovations & Additions
We design whole-home and multi-room renovations and additions across the Triangle. That runs from early space planning through construction and installation. We stay closely involved the whole time, handling creative direction, technical drawings, selections, and trade coordination. It’s how the project moves forward without surprises.
Investment. A hall or guest bath typically runs $35,000 to $55,000 and a primary bath $45,000 to $70,000. Kitchens begin around $120,000, and most land between $150,000 and $250,000 all in. Design fees begin at $6,000. Estimate yours with the Renovation Cost Calculator.

New Construction Homes
For new builds we join early, alongside your architect and builder. We work on layouts, finishes, and the full technical drawing set before ground breaks. The earlier we’re at the table, the more we can protect your vision and your budget.
Investment. Design fees begin at $20,000 and scale with the size and complexity of the home.
INQUIREFurnishing & Interiors
Complete furnishing for full homes and individual rooms. One room gets the same standard as a whole house: layouts, custom pieces, sourcing, and styling installed end to end. Whether it’s one room or every room, we design for how you actually live. If you’re weighing pieces yourself, I’ve written about what makes furniture worth the investment, and why it pays to design the room before you buy anything.
Investment. Full-service furnishing typically runs $25,000 to $50,000 per room, not including design fees, which begin at $4,000. Price a room with the Furnishing Cost Calculator.

The questions we hear most
Frequently Asked
Many of our clients come to us unsure where to start or what things cost. Our job, before anything is designed, is to make the process feel clear.
What does an interior design project with House of Maevie cost?
Design fees begin at $4,000 for furnishing and $6,000 for a renovation, and scale with the scope of your project. Full-service furnishing typically runs $25,000 to $50,000 per room. A hall or guest bath typically runs $35,000 to $55,000 and a primary bath $45,000 to $70,000. Kitchens begin around $120,000, and most land between $150,000 and $250,000 all in, appliances included. Design fees for a single space run $6,000 to $22,500. For new construction and whole-home projects, design fees begin at $20,000. We always talk investment openly on your complimentary call, and the planning tools give you a first number before it.
Can I hire for a single room?
Yes. A single room is a meaningful project for us. A fully furnished living room or primary suite gets the same standard as a whole home. That means custom pieces, sourcing, and styling installed end to end, so full-service furnishing typically runs $25,000 to $50,000 per room. Design fees start at $4,000. If one space is where you’d like to start, that’s a natural first project. It’s often the beginning of a longer relationship.
Do I need a designer for new construction?
For new construction, bringing a designer in early is one of the best decisions you can make. Ceiling heights, window placement, traffic flow, cabinetry runs: those all happen in the first few months. They’re also the most expensive things to reverse later. We work alongside your architect and builder from early planning through punch list. We produce the technical drawing set, specify finishes, and coordinate in person through installation.
How long does a renovation take?
Every project moves at its own pace. A single-room renovation might take a few months from design to installation. A whole-home renovation or new build can run a year or more. After your consultation we put a detailed timeline in the proposal, so you can plan around deliveries, moves, and life.
What areas do you serve?
House of Maevie is based in Fuquay-Varina and serves Raleigh and the greater Triangle. We work in person across the region: Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Durham, Chapel Hill, Wake Forest, and Holly Springs. We also offer virtual interior design for clients anywhere in the United States.
