One vision. One team. One beautiful home.
You know what you love when you see it. But pulling it all together? That’s where things get tricky.
One room feels modern, another traditional. One feels bold and intentional, while the next feels…unfinished. This is what happens when design happens without a plan—or a professional leading the way.
At Home by Hattan, we believe that cohesion is the secret to luxury - a cohesive design plan paired with a seamless process is our signature. Here's how we make it happen, and why trusting a designer doesn’t just make your life easier—it elevates everything.
1. A Cohesive Home Starts with a Plan
Before a single swatch is selected, we map out your entire project.
What rooms are involved?
What’s the budget and timeline?
How should the spaces connect—visually and functionally?
This step is essential to avoiding disjointed design or costly rework later.
2. We Orchestrate the Details
Think of us as the conductor of your home’s renovation symphony.We don’t play every instrument—but we make sure they come in at the right time, in harmony, and with the right tone.
From electricians to tile installers, we manage a vetted team of experts. Our in-house general contractor ensures that everyone is aligned—so you never have to chase updates or coordinate timelines.
3. We Mix Form & Function As a Master Chef Would
A chef doesn’t just serve a fancy steak—they consider the full experience. Is it balanced? Beautiful? Does it suit the occasion?
In the same way, we don’t just pick pretty furniture. We consider:
Will this layout work for a busy family with kids and pets?
Does this lighting support hosting and everyday living?
How will this flooring hold up to life and look elegant?
Because in a well-designed home, nothing feels out of place—and nothing gets overlooked.
4. Our Systems Save You Time, Stress & Second-Guessing
Many homeowners start a renovation or design project with excitement and end up overwhelmed. Without experience, you face:
Long delays from unresponsive contractors
Budget surprises
Design choices that don’t “go” together
Stress managing a dozen vendors
Our process eliminates those headaches. We’ve fine-tuned every step based on 10+ years of hands-on experience and strong relationships with trades who deliver top-quality work.As your design and build experts, we never present a selection that isn’t worth your investment. Every recommendation—whether it’s tile, cabinetry, or a fixture—has already been carefully vetted for quality, functionality, and long-term value. “Cheaper” isn’t always better; in fact, it often leads to disappointment, unnecessary stress, and additional costs down the road.
One client experience illustrates this perfectly. They began with our Designer Trio service and chose to manage the implementation themselves. When they received their design plan, they felt the tile selection was too expensive and decided to search for alternatives. After ordering numerous samples and investing hours of their own time, they ultimately selected the exact tile we had originally recommended. Why? Because our process already accounts for the best balance of aesthetics, durability, and return on investment—both in home equity and in the daily joy of living in a thoughtfully designed space.
Our role is not to inflate your budget, but to protect it—steering you away from short-term “savings” that can create long-term problems. Trusting our expertise means knowing every choice is made with your lifestyle, investment, and peace of mind in mind.
When you trust a professional with a plan, the whole home sings. You get cohesion, quality, and confidence—from the very first design meeting to the final install.
