interior design that feels like you

A beautiful home doesn’t come together by accident, and when every single decision falls on your shoulders alone, the process can quickly shift from exciting to overwhelming. Without thoughtful interior design, it’s easy to second-guess choices, miss important details, or end up with a space that doesn’t feel cohesive.

When you partner with MA Peterson, interior design is part of the full experience. Every custom home and remodeling project we take on across Minneapolis, Edina, St. Louis Park, and beyond includes thoughtful attention to how your spaces look, feel, and flow.

From cabinetry and color palettes to lighting, furniture, and wall decor, our designers help you shape a cohesive look that reflects your style and suits the way you live. We’ll guide you through the details to create a home that feels as good as it looks.

 

benefits of having an interior designer from the start

When your interior designer is part of the same team as your architectural designer and builder, every choice becomes more seamless. There’s no disconnect between design and execution—just one coordinated team working toward a shared vision.

Our interior designers sit in on key planning conversations and weigh in on selections that affect the budget, timeline, and construction details. That level of integration makes the process smoother and the results more cohesive.

Instead of managing multiple professionals, you get one collaborative team that’s aligned with your goals, aesthetic, and priorities. It’s the difference between just picking finishes… and shaping a home that flows, connects, and feels right in every room.

can an interior designer save you money?

Having a professional interior designer guide your selections can prevent the kind of costly missteps that derail budgets and timelines.

Ordering the wrong materials or realizing a space doesn’t feel quite right after the fact? That can get expensive. A good interior designer helps you sidestep those headaches by making sure your selections make sense for your style, your budget, and your overall plan.

At MA Peterson, your designer is part of your team, offering clear recommendations that support both style and structure. That kind of insight doesn't just save you stress. It can save you thousands, especially when an interior designer is already included in the process.

Here’s how:

  • Avoids costly mistakes like ordering the wrong size, finish, or quantity
  • Helps prioritize the allowances in your budget so you invest where it counts
  • Prevents rework by making smart choices upfront that align with the layout and construction
  • Reduces decision fatigue, which can lead to rushed decisions or buyer’s remorse
  • Connects you with trade-only products and pricing you wouldn’t have access to on your own

FAQS: ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ABOUT WORKING WITH AN INTERIOR DESIGNER FROM HOMEOWNERS LIKE YOU

How Do I Prepare for a Meeting With an Interior Designer?expand_more

Meeting with your interior designer should feel exciting, not intimidating, and preparing ahead of time is the best way to put you at ease. This is the part where your style starts to take shape, and the clearer your inspiration, the easier it becomes to create a space that feels truly personal.

You don’t need to have every decision made. In fact, part of our job is helping you uncover what you love and how you want your home to feel. But a little preparation can go a long way in making the most of your time together.

Here are a few simple ways to prepare:

  • Collect inspiration – Save photos, colors, or finishes you’re drawn to from magazines, design blogs, or Pinterest.
  • Think about how you want to feel – Cozy and relaxed? Clean and modern? Bright and airy? 
  • Be transparent about your lifestyle – Love to entertain? Need quiet zones? Have kids or pets? The more we know, the better we can guide your choices.
  • Don’t be afraid to dream a little – Your wishlist helps us understand what matters most, so we can balance vision with budget and flow.

This is a collaborative process, and we’ll guide you through every step. You don’t have to have it all figured out. Just come ready to explore what’s possible.

How Do I Choose the Right Interior Design Style for My Home?expand_more

You don’t need to walk into the design process knowing your exact style—and honestly, most people don’t. What matters more is how you want your home to feel.

Our in-house interior designer will help you discover and refine your style as part of the collaborative process. 

We start by asking the right questions: What colors feel calming or energizing to you? Do you gravitate toward clean lines or classic details? What do you want your mornings to feel like in this space? Your answers begin to shape a look that’s less about fitting into a trend and more about reflecting your vibe, your lifestyle, and the home’s architectural character.

Whether you’re drawn to warm modern textures, subtle traditional patterns, or something more out-of-the-box, we help bring your preferences into focus, then layer in the materials, lighting, and finishes that make it all come together.

The result isn’t just a home that checks a specific design-style box. It’s a reflection of your unique taste.

Our Design-Build Process

01 | Design | Current Space

With a Design Agreement we start by creating a digital replication of your home’s floor plan (at least the areas we plan on working in). We often use modern technology like MatterPort to scan and capture a 3D model. The point is to get a super accurate starting point from which we can design. This typically takes a few weeks.

 
02 | Design | Your Dream

This is your project and your dream – and we want to understand as much as we can. We meet to listen to your goals, priorities, and dreams. Homeowners often find it helpful to show us pictures on websites like Houzz or Pinterest that they’ve found inspirational. 

 
03 | Design | Concept

With the vision you’ve laid out for us, we get to work creating concepts for your new space. As we collaborate with you, we hone in on the plan you love most. With that plan we create more refined drawings and provide a project cost estimate (within 10%). Your availability to meet and decisiveness drives this stage’s duration.

Edina

Classic kitchen with white cabinets and black pendant lights in a Twin Cities remodel by MA Peterson

What Our Clients Think

"I could tell that once they get to the part about how the company was set up, my husband’s ears totally perked up. He really gets into that stuff, I know he thought it was really smart. I got the sense that they had an intellectual interest in any project. They weren’t just searching for the home they could put on the luxury home tour."

Enclosed patio with modern seating and large windows, MA Peterson, Twin City

What Our Clients Think

"MA Peterson created a beautiful owner suite & bathroom for us. We loved that every step of the project was mapped out in advance AND they stayed on schedule and budget. We have a timeless and gorgeous retreat thanks to MA Peterson and will use them again for our next remodel project. They were worth every penny!"

Bright bathroom with double sinks and a freestanding tub in a custom home by MA Peterson, Twin City

What Our Clients Think

"MA Peterson was brilliant in connecting the roof lines and flow, joining old with new, seamlessly. Mark’s understanding of space, light, and scale brought the modern back to our mid-century home. His team knows exactly how to combine ease of living with edgy and interesting design. We love living in it!"

Michelle

Edina

Contemporary living room with arched doorways and fireplace, designed by MA Peterson in Twin City

What Our Clients Think

"Just completed a remodel project with MA Peterson in a high rise condo which makes it all the more difficult. I can’t say enough about the efficiency and professionalism of Jesse and Curt, including the subs they engaged. They were finished ahead of time and under budget. The results are even better than I hoped for. I’m sure they can do big jobs too, but I didn’t expect to find someone who could handle a small, but complex - to me at least - job. 10 stars for this group!"
