Renovating Your Home Should Feel Exciting — Not Overwhelming
Renovating your home is a big decision. INTNT design helps homeowners in Denver, Boulder, and surrounding areas navigate the process with thoughtful design, clear communication, and well-managed construction—from the first idea to the final walkthrough.
thoughtful renovations start with intentional design
Your home should feel personal, considered, and built with care — not the result of rushed decisions or shortcuts.
Great homes don’t happen by accident. Every renovation begins with thoughtful planning, honest collaboration, and a clear vision for how a space should function and feel.
We partner with homeowners throughout Denver, Boulder, and the surrounding areas to guide renovations from the earliest ideas through construction.

common renovation questions
-
An architectural designer works on the structure, layout, and function of a home. Understands how spaces are planned, built, and connected. This includes floor plans, wall changes, ceiling heights, window placement, and how a renovation fits within building codes and permit requirements.
An interior designer focuses primarily on the look and feel of a space—furniture, finishes, colors, décor, and styling.
At INTNT Design, my work blends both.
I design spaces from the inside out. Starting with thoughtful layouts and construction-ready plans, then layering in materials, lighting, and finishes that make the home feel intentional and personal. This means clients get both strong architectural planning and beautiful interiors, all aligned under one clear vision.
Instead of hiring multiple consultants, you get a cohesive, well-coordinated design process from concept to construction.
-
Design-build means the design and construction planning are coordinated under one process. Instead of the designer and contractor working separately, decisions stay aligned from the beginning, reducing miscommunication and helping projects move forward more smoothly.
-
Not a problem, that’s what the consultation is for! All you need to do is communicate your likes and dislikes, the initial consultation is a conversation to get to know you and what you could potentially have in your space.
