offerings
Whether you’re breaking ground or refining a home you already love, we lead the design from first idea to final install. One studio, one point of contact, every decision considered.
-
The best new homes are designed from the inside out. We join your architect and builder early, so layout, lighting, millwork and finishes are resolved before construction begins, not improvised during it. You get a home that feels collected and lived-in on the day you move in.
Current work: a ground up build in Montana.
-
We rethink how your home works and how it feels, then see every detail through. Walls move, kitchens open up, and dated finishes give way to plaster, natural stone, warm wood. The character worth keeping stays.
-
An addition should look as though it was always there. We match proportions, trim and materials to the original house, then use the new space to bring light and ease to the rooms around it.
-
For homes that are built but not yet finished. We source furniture, rugs, lighting, art and window treatments, including pieces from our showroom and design custom upholstery, then install everything in a single day.
-
Two focused hours in your home with Molly. Bring the questions you’ve been circling (a paint palette, a layout, what to keep) and leave with clear direction. A good first step before a larger project.
how we work
01 - Concept
We listen first: how you live, what you love, what isn’t working. Then we bring it back as a layout, a visual direction and a realistic investment range, so the scope is clear before anything is ordered.
Four phases, one steady hand. You’ll always know what’s decided, what’s next and who is handling it.
02 - Design Development
Ideas become decisions. We select every finish, fixture and furnishing, present them together, and refine until it’s right.
We work alongside talented makers and tradespeople to bring our conceptual designs to life.
We detail out the design on floor plans, elevations + 3D renderings.
03 - Coordination
Before ground is broken, we finalize drawings and walk the site with your builder and trades. Questions get answered on paper, not mid-construction.
Once you approve, we place the orders.
04 - Construction + Install
Each week you will hear from us directly; what’s done, what’s next, and nothing left for you to chase. We close with the install, and you walk into a finished home.

Interior design costs in Sacramento vary depending on the scope of the project, the level of service, and the investment in furnishings and materials. Full-service interior design typically includes design planning, sourcing, coordination, and installation, which results in a higher overall investment than consultation-based services. Most projects are tailored, so pricing is developed based on your specific goals and the level of transformation you’re looking to achieve. Molly Erin Designs focuses on thoughtful planning, quality materials, and a high level of detail to ensure the finished space feels both refined and down to earth.
-
A typical interior design project timeline depends on the scope, but most full- service projects take several months from initial concept through final installation. In Sacramento, timelines can also be influenced by contractor schedules, permitting, and product lead times. A well-managed process ensures that each phase is handled thoughtfully, resulting in a finished space that feels cohesive and complete. Molly Erin Designs prioritizes an organized, detail-driven approach to keep projects on track, while still allowing for customization and attention to detail.

Working with an interior designer is a guided, collaborative process designed to bring clarity and ease to your project. It typically includes an initial concept design phase, design development, procurement, and coordination through to installation. Throughout the process, your Sacramento interior designer manages the details, presents curated options, and ensures every element works together seamlessly. The goal is to create a finished space that feels intentional, functional, and aligned with how you live. Molly Erin Designs is known for creating a streamlined, supportive experience that allows clients to enjoy the transformation without feeling overwhelmed.
-
Interior designers can work with existing furnishings when they align with the overall vision for the space. In many Sacramento homes, select pieces are incorporated and layered with new elements to create a more refined and cohesive result. When starting fresh allows for a stronger outcome, your designer will guide you accordingly to ensure the final design feels intentional rather than pieced together. Molly Erin Designs takes a thoughtful approach, blending existing and new pieces in a way that feels balanced, refined, uniquely suited to each client. Our one on one showroom appointments can help you with furnishing selections.
-
Full-service interior designers coordinate closely with contractors, architects, and builders to ensure the design is executed as intended. This includes reviewing plans, providing specifications, and overseeing details throughout the project. For projects in Sacramento and the surrounding areas, clear communication across all parties helps prevent delays and ensures the final result reflects the design vision at every stage. Molly Erin Designs collaborates with trusted professionals & talented makers to create interiors grounded in quality.
