New Construction

Having an interior designer on your team from the start helps achieve a cohesively designed, quality new build that won’t have you tearing your hair out during construction. When design decisions are made early and intentionally, the result is a home that feels thoughtfully planned, beautifully finished, and custom built for you.

At Daunt Designs, we work with homeowners, architects and contractors throughout the entire new construction process. We help translate your vision into clear, buildable design solutions while keeping the project organized and moving forward efficiently. From early space planning and layout to lighting design, material and finish selections, and final installation, we ensure every detail works together seamlessly.

One of the most common challenges homeowners face during new construction is decision fatigue. Without a clear design roadmap, homeowners may be asked to make last-minute choices while under pressure - choices that can impact both the budget and the overall aesthetic of the home.

By personally guiding my clients through clearly defined phases of design and construction, expectations are set from the beginning and you’ll never feel rushed or pressured to make last minute decisions. Selections are made in a logical order, and you always understand what decisions are coming next and when they are needed.

Our process is designed to be both thorough and efficient. We help you refine your style, establish a cohesive design direction, and select finishes that align with your lifestyle, architecture, and long-term goals for the home. From cabinetry and plumbing fixtures to flooring, lighting, and hardware, each selection is considered as part of a larger whole. The result is a home that feels intentional rather than pieced together.

When an interior designer is part of your new construction team, the benefits extend beyond aesthetics. Your project will run more smoothly, your build will be more efficient and the end result will be better than you ever imagined.

Whether you’re building a custom home in Bigfork, designing a mountain retreat, or planning a forever home in Whitefish, your home will feel elevated, balanced, and far more refined than if decisions were made in isolation along the way.
