Services
Our full-service interior design is for our New England clients whom we would be working with in person. Full-service interior design includes space planning, construction documents, sourcing FFE and finishes, procurement and order management, as well as project management. We do work in other parts of the country, so if this is something you are interested in and are not in New England, please feel free to reach out.
Not located in New England? No problem. We have worked with clients across the country, along with clients outside the country. With virtual design, we will work off of the plans given to our team to be able to assist with space planning, sourcing FFE and finishes, procurement and order management. Like full service interior design, we will be there to assist throughout the entire project.
If you need some extra guidance on a project you are doing yourself, our 1-hour consultation might be the right fit for you. Hannah will assist with reviewing space planning, provide feedback on sourcing, and offer up her expertise in design. If you are ready to book, you can schedule your meeting with Hannah today.

HANNAH ORAVEC
OWNER
Ever since I was a little girl, I was exposed to my dad always renovating our home (which actually happens to be the home my mom grew up in too!). I found my spark for creativity at that young age and never looked back.
My design style has evolved over the years, but what will always stay the same is wanting each space to feel like a true reflection of our clients. My intention is for each space we design to feel different than the next. One of my favorite ways to do this is to add in vintage pieces into the homes we design. By doing so, it creates a unique touch and personal connection with the client and their home.
I love serving the world by creating beautiful and sustainable spaces for our clients and showing them just how they can incorporate wellness and sustainability into their spaces! Our homes are where we dwell, and I believe that when we have a place that reflects ourselves, it creates a warm, holistic environment. My passion with interior design has been fused with health and wellness throughout my career. It’s been a staple in my business to use my knowledge and WELL accreditation to bring in elements that promote a better way of life for people and the environment.

Design Process
The process when working with our team
Initial Inquiry
We receive your email or call to learn more about your project. This is followed by a discovery call to better understand your needs, budget, and timeline.
​
Virtual Consultation
We start with a virtual consultation to discuss your vision, lifestyle, and overall design goals. This helps us gather the details needed to move forward.
​
In-Person Consultation
After the virtual meeting, we’ll schedule a second consultation, either onsite at your space or in our office, depending on the project scope.
​
Design Proposal Review
Before sending over the contract, we present a design proposal that outlines the estimated scope of work, inspiration images, and design fees. This ensures everything aligns with your expectations before we proceed.
​
Contract and Retainer
Once you’re ready to move forward, we’ll send over a formal agreement. After the contract is signed and the retainer is received, we officially kick off the project.
​
Research and Planning
We’ll send you a questionnaire to gather more details about your style preferences, functionality needs, and inspiration. At this stage, we also take detailed measurements and photos if needed.
​
Mood Boards and Initial Concept
We create a visual concept to illustrate the design direction, including inspiration images, color palettes, and key ideas. This is shared with you for feedback before moving to the next step.
​
Schematic Design
Schematic design is the first phase where your vision begins to take shape. During this stage, we focus on space planning and initial concepts for materials, finishes, furniture, and fixtures. Preliminary floor plans help you visualize the overall design direction, ensuring it aligns with your goals before moving into detailed development. This step sets the foundation for a cohesive and functional design.
​
Construction Design Development
We finalize layouts, furniture plans, and detailed design elements. This includes floor plans, construction material selections, and design details that bring the concept to life along with any finish materials needed for construction (tiles, countertops, hard-wired lighting, etc.)
​
Design Presentation
We’ll present a comprehensive design plan, including renderings, material samples, and elevations in a digital design presentation.
​
Construction Procurement and Order Management
After approval, we handle purchasing and order management for the project, coordinating with the contractor and vendors to ensure accurate timelines and delivery.
​
Contractor Coordination
We’ll coordinate with contractors and oversee the implementation of the design details. We make site visits based on the project scope.
​
Furniture Design Development
We finalize furniture and layouts based on the foundation of the construction design. This includes all the furniture and decor for the space.
​
Design Presentation
We’ll present a comprehensive design plan, including material samples and digital design presentation boards.
​
Furniture Procurement and Order Management
After approval, we handle all purchasing and order management for the project, coordinating with vendors to ensure accurate timelines and delivery. We get everything sent to our warehouse receiver.
​
Furniture Pre-Installation Preparation
We organize deliveries with our warehouse receiver, and finalize the installation schedule to ensure everything arrives and is ready for install day.
​
Installation Day
We bring the design to life by arranging furniture, styling decor, and placing accessories to create a fully realized space.
​
Photography
We coordinate with our photographer to get photos of your space for our website and marketing.
​
Project Completion
After everything is in place, we’ll do a walkthrough with you to review the space. You’ll also receive a digital goodbye packet with all the important details for future reference.
A Note From Our Clients
We really enjoyed working with Hannah. She has a warm, bubbly personality and is a delight to talk to. She was very open to our ideas but also gave us guidance when we needed it. We are two busy professionals, and it was great to have her handle the work of designing the main floor of our house. She thought of things that we never would have thought of, including building a custom bench in bay windows in our kitchen, which allowed us to maximize seating for entertaining. In some instances, we were sent bad materials by vendors, like a rug that was a different size than advertised, and she worked to make it right. She worked with a wide range of interior design websites, finding unique pieces that aren’t available at the big chains.
I highly recommend Lawless Design for all of your design needs. Hannah has such a great vision for your space and combines what you want as well as bringing in pieces that you would have never chosen, that look amazing! She was friendly and helpful and made my spaces feel warm and welcoming. I get compliments all of the time on Hannah's work!
