About Megan Baker Interiors


Megan Baker Interiors is a full-service design firm, proudly serving ​clients since 2018. While we love seeing projects through from start to ​finish, we understand that some clients prefer to manage their own ​interiors. That’s where our Custom Architectural & Interior Review ​comes in—your go-to resource for expert guidance when tackling a ​renovation or new construction without a full design team.


This service is perfect for those who want professional insight to ​ensure their project runs smoothly. We’ll carefully review your ​architectural plans and interior concepts, offering recommendations to ​enhance both the look and functionality of your space. Whether you’re ​adjusting a floor plan or finalizing finishes, we’re here to help. And if ​your space could benefit from a reimagined layout, we’ll work with you ​to create a whole new floor plan that brings your vision to life.


With our team’s support, you’ll move forward with confidence, ​knowing your home will be as functional as it is beautiful. Let’s work ​together to make sure your design plan has a strong foundation, so you ​can enjoy brining together every last detail.

The Custom Architectural & Interior ​Review Process


01 | Getting to Know You


Before we officially start your project, we'll ask you to share important ​details so we can better understand your design tastes and lifestyle.

More is more as we kick off your review! The more details and ​documents you can provide, the more holistic our suggestions can be to ​make sure you achieve your dream home.
