Before You Renovate, Redesign, or Furnish — Read This First

This complimentary guide walks you through the most common interior design mistakes homeowners make — the ones that cost time, money, and momentum — and shows you how to avoid them before they become expensive to fix.
Written from the perspective of an interior architectural designer with decades of experience, it’s practical, thoughtful guidance you can apply immediately, no matter where you are in the process.

Thoughtful Design Begins with Understanding How You Live
I’m Dawn P. Gepfert, an interior architectural designer with over 30 years of experience helping homeowners and professionals navigate complex design decisions with confidence.
My work sits at the intersection of interior architecture, construction knowledge, and refined design. I don’t just focus on how spaces look — I focus on how they function, how they feel over time, and how every decision connects to the larger picture.
Clients come to me when they want more than surface-level answers. They value thoughtful planning, clear direction, and a principal-led approach that brings calm and clarity to the design process — whether through consultations, concept plans, or full-service interior design.
