everything you need to know about creating a home that feels as good as it looks

Your Questions, Answered

What makes Amethyst Interiors different from other design firms?

Amethyst Interiors creates more than beautiful spaces—we design homes that support how you want to live and feel. Through our Aligned Home Method™, we thoughtfully consider aesthetics, function, wellness, and the emotional experience of a space to create interiors that feel deeply personal, intentional, and elevated.

What is the Aligned Home Method™?

The Aligned Home Method™ is our signature approach to interior design. It looks beyond finishes and furnishings to consider how your home can support your lifestyle, well-being, and sense of self. Every design decision is made with the intention of creating a home that feels beautiful, harmonious, and aligned with you.

What types of projects do you take on?

We specialize in elevated residential interiors, including full-home renovations, new construction, second homes, and thoughtfully designed individual spaces. We work with clients who value exceptional design, craftsmanship, and a home that feels uniquely their own.

Do you work with clients outside of Durango?

Yes. While Amethyst Interiors is based in Durango, Colorado, we work with clients both locally and remotely depending on the scope and location of the project.

How involved do I need to be in the design process?
That depends on how you prefer to work. Some clients want to be involved in every meaningful decision, while others prefer to entrust the majority of the process to us. We create a collaborative experience that gives you clarity without requiring you to manage every detail.

Can you work with my existing furniture and belongings?
Absolutely. We believe meaningful pieces can add depth and personality to a home. When appropriate, we'll thoughtfully incorporate what you already own while identifying where new pieces or changes will elevate the overall design.

How much does interior design cost?
Every project is unique, so investment varies based on the scope, size, complexity, and level of customization. We begin with a conversation about your goals and project before recommending the appropriate design services and investment.

How long does an interior design project take?
Timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. A single-room project may take considerably less time than a full-home renovation or new construction. During our initial conversations, we'll establish a realistic timeline based on your specific needs.

Do you handle the purchasing and installation?
Yes. Depending on your scope of services, we manage the details behind the scenes—from sourcing and ordering to coordinating deliveries and installation—so the process feels seamless and thoughtfully managed.

Can you help if I don't know exactly what I want?
Absolutely. You don't need to arrive with a fully formed vision. Part of our process is uncovering what you love, how you want your home to feel, and what isn't working now. From there, we translate that into a cohesive design direction.

What does it mean to design a home around how I want to feel?
Your home has an impact on your everyday experience. We consider the qualities you want to cultivate—whether that's calm, relaxing, grounding, inviting, fun, vibrant, etc.—and translate those intentions into tangible design choices.

How do I get started?
The first step is a consultation where we learn more about you, your home, your goals, and what you're hoping to create. From there, we'll determine whether we're the right fit and recommend the best next step.
