This Halloween season, discover how Sustainable Design Build helps Denver homeowners transform their basements and beyond from dark, unused spaces into warm, functional areas perfect for everyday living.
Expanding your home with a home addition is one of the most effective ways to gain space, comfort, and long-term value without moving. Whether you’re planning a new family room, primary suite, or connected guest quarters, the addition process transforms both your home and how you live in it. Once the design and permitting phases are complete, construction begins—and with it comes the exciting (and busy) phase of activity at your property.
As remote and hybrid work continue to redefine how professionals live and connect, the need for a dedicated home office has never been greater. Many Denver homeowners are now turning to home additions as a way to create productive, comfortable spaces that fit seamlessly into their existing homes. A thoughtfully designed addition offers more than square footage—it enhances daily function, privacy, and long-term property value.

Setting an interior design budget is one of the most important early steps in creating a cohesive and comfortable home environment. In the Denver metro area, homeowners continue to balance design goals with the realities of construction costs, material pricing, and lifestyle priorities. Understanding what defines a reasonable design budget can make the process smoother and more rewarding from start to finish.
How much does an interior designer cost in Denver?
In 2025, most interior designers in the Denver area charge between $100 and $300 per hour, or offer flat-rate packages ranging from $2,000 to $5,000 per room. For larger home renovations or full design-build projects, fees typically represent 10 to 25 percent of the total construction cost. Actual pricing depends on project size, designer experience, and material selections, but local homeowners can expect costs that reflect Denver’s active remodeling market and growing demand for personalized spaces. Firms such as Sustainable Design Build often integrate design coordination directly into construction planning, helping homeowners align budgets, timelines, and aesthetic goals more efficiently.
