New Construction Interior Design Spokane WA | Designology
Interior Design Built Into Your Spokane New Construction From Day One
Building a new home is the ultimate opportunity to create an interior environment exactly as you've always imagined it — unconstrained by existing layouts, existing finishes, or existing decisions made by someone else. Realizing that opportunity fully requires a skilled interior designer engaged from the very beginning of the project, working alongside your architect and builder to ensure that every structural, mechanical, and finish decision serves the interior design vision. Designology's new construction interior design service in Spokane is precisely that — a comprehensive, fully integrated design partnership that begins at the blueprint stage and ends with a complete, turn-key interior installation that is everything you envisioned and more.
Deanna Goguen has been collaborating with Spokane's custom home architects and builders for over three decades, and those relationships are one of the most valuable aspects of Designology's new construction service. She understands how to communicate design intent in the language of construction documents, how to flag design-critical decisions early enough that they can be addressed without costly changes, and how to work within the schedule and budget constraints of an active construction project without sacrificing design quality. Builders who have worked with Deanna consistently describe her as their ideal design partner — thorough, decisive, collaborative, and deeply knowledgeable about what is and isn't achievable within a given budget and timeline.
Design Decisions That Happen Before Framing
The most impactful interior design decisions in a new home are made before a single wall goes up — decisions about ceiling heights, floor plan proportions, window placement and sizing, structural column locations, and the overall spatial sequence of the home that determines how it feels to move through it. When an interior designer is not involved at this stage, these decisions are made by default — based on structural and cost considerations alone, without regard for the interior design implications. The result is often a home that functions adequately but misses the spatial opportunities that thoughtful early design could have realized.
Deanna's early involvement in Spokane new construction projects consistently produces homes that are better proportioned, better lit, and better organized than those where interior design input came later. She advocates for ceiling heights that create the sense of grandeur appropriate to a luxury home, window placements that optimize natural light and frame specific views, open-plan configurations that flow beautifully for both daily living and entertaining, and primary suite layouts that deliver the spa-like bathroom and generous closet spaces her clients expect. These are decisions that cannot be undone after the framing is complete — and getting them right from the start is one of the most important contributions a designer can make to a new home.
Finish Selection and Specification
The finish selection process in a new construction home is both one of the most exciting and one of the most overwhelming aspects of the building experience. The number of decisions required — flooring, cabinetry, countertops, tile, plumbing fixtures, lighting fixtures, hardware, paint colors, and dozens of other choices — is genuinely staggering, and the consequences of making them poorly are visible every day for years to come. Designology's finish selection service removes that overwhelm and replaces it with confidence, as Deanna guides her clients through every decision with clear recommendations grounded in her deep knowledge of materials, her understanding of the overall design concept, and her experience with what works and what doesn't in Spokane's climate and market.
Her selections are always cohesive — every finish choice is made in the context of all the others, ensuring that the completed home has a unified aesthetic identity rather than a collection of individually acceptable but collectively incoherent selections. She also has access to trade-only resources — materials, fixtures, and finishes not available through retail channels — that allow her to specify elements that are genuinely distinctive rather than drawn from the same sources every other new home in Spokane uses.

Furnishing and Final Installation
The final phase of Designology's new construction service — furnishing and installation — is where the completed architectural shell comes to life as a fully inhabited, completely personal home. Deanna selects, sources, and installs every piece of furniture, every lighting fixture, every piece of art and every accessory, coordinating deliveries and installations to achieve a complete reveal that her clients experience as walking into their finished home for the first time. This moment — the reveal — is the culmination of months of collaborative work and the payoff for the investment in Designology's comprehensive service. It is, by unanimous client report, absolutely worth it. See finished new construction projects in the portfolio and imagine what Designology can create for yours.
