You dream— we plan, shop, and execute.
When you're tackling a home renovation or redesign, it's not just about picking a pretty paint color or finding a comfy sofa. It’s about making hundreds (yes, hundreds) of decisions that affect how your home looks, feels, and functions.
You start to ask yourself:
How do I make it all flow?
Is this too small? Too gold? Too pink?
Does this even go with my other pieces?
Is this trendy or will I love it later?
If I choose this, will I have to change that? L Look at all the options!!
That’s where the overwhelm begins.
At Home by Hattan, we remove the chaos before it ever reaches you. Because our clients don’t just want beautiful homes—they want peace of mind, too.
Here’s how we protect your sanity—and your schedule—throughout the process:
1. We Start With a Master Plan
The biggest mistake homeowners make? Skipping the plan—or not sticking to it. Without a clear roadmap, every decision feels like a new fork in the road, leading to delays, second-guessing, and costly missteps. That’s why our design and renovation process starts by working closely with you to create a cohesive vision—one that becomes the compass for every choice that follows.
Watch our Youtube video where we explain how Home by Hattan addresses overwhelm!
What it means for you:
Fewer surprises. Smarter decisions. A beautifully unified home that works hard and looks good.
2. We Make the Hard Calls—So You Don’t Have To
From molding placement to vent covers, tile transitions to fixture finishes—we handle the details so you don’t have to lose sleep over them.
Ever been asked:
Where do you want the crown molding to end? Do you want a Schluter edge or pencil tile?
What color do you want your trim?
Where do you want this light fixture? How high? What size rug/sofa/countertop do you need?
Our clients don’t have to Google these things. We already know the answer—and we know your answer—because we take the time to understand your needs, your lifestyle, and your style.
3. We Curate—Not Just Shop
We don’t ask you to sort through hundreds of sofas or sconces. We do the legwork. We source from trusted vendors, filter by quality and fit, and bring you selections that make sense for your home—not just the trend cycle.
What it means for you:
Your time is protected. Your options are focused. Your home feels intentional.
4. We Handle the Project Management
Coordinating contractors, deliveries, installers, timelines, and trades? That’s on us. Whether we’re managing your custom hood specs to align with your kitchen layout or syncing the stonework with your fireplace finish—we’re behind the scenes making sure it all works.
And when things don’t go as planned? (....because renovations always come with surprises!) We solve it before it reaches your inbox.
5. We Balance Beauty and Livability
Every recommendation we make considers how you live day-to-day. Design should make your life easier—not just prettier. From functional layouts to family-friendly fabrics, we prioritize form and function at every step.
6. It’s Not Just Design—It’s Peace of Mind and No Overwhelm
If you’ve ever thought, “I love pretty homes, but I have no idea how to pull it all together…” — you’re not alone. You don’t need to have the answers. That’s what we’re here for.
We do this every day so you don’t have to.
Because your home should reflect your life—not become another thing you’re managing.
