Interior design in Collierville, from a studio that also builds.
IVORAH is an interior design company in Collierville, Tennessee — but we're an unusual one, because we don't stop at the drawings. The same studio that designs your rooms sources the materials, engages the licensed trades, and manages the build to a fixed quote. Our founder has spent 20 years in the Memphis area and 12 of them living in Collierville, so when we talk about designing for how people live here — from Schilling Farms to Halle Plantation to the streets around the historic Town Square — it's not market research. It's home.
What that looks like on a real project.
A recent whole-main-level project in neighboring Germantown shows how we work. The homeowners — who host parties often — had a kitchen, living room, family room, and dining room chopped apart by a three-arch wall, a small island, and a wood floor that had seen its last refinish.
We removed the arched wall to open the entire main level into one connected space. The wood floor became large-format tile. The small island became a very large one — the kind people actually gather around. Cabinets were replaced and added. Because this family entertains constantly, we added a second sink at the window and a second dishwasher, so cleanup after twenty guests doesn't take until midnight.
Then we designed what you can't buy off a showroom floor: a custom couch and center table for the living room, a wood-and-resin dining cabinet with a matching table and custom seats, and a floating media cabinet for the family room. Design, furniture, and build — one team, one accountable promise, through to the pool area outside.
Midway through that project, import tariffs jumped to 55% and the client had a hard deadline. We had promised the price wouldn't change, so it didn't: we absorbed the tariff, paid triple freight for an 18-day expedited shipment, lost our profit on the job — and delivered on time, to a very happy client. We'd rather lose a margin than break a promise. That is the whole company in one sentence.
Consultants, not order-takers.
Plenty of designers will execute whatever you ask. Our view is that you're hiring us to understand the problem — why the kitchen bottlenecks when you cook for guests, why the family room never gets used — and provide the solution, not just to pick fabrics for the layout you already have. Sometimes that means telling you the idea you came in with will fight your house, and showing you in 3D what would serve you better. You always decide. You just decide with the full picture.
What interior design with IVORAH costs.
Because design, sourcing, and build come as one accountable package, we price the whole outcome rather than billing design hours: $250–$600 per square foot, depending on materials and how much is custom-made. A typical American kitchen of about 200 square feet lands between $50,000 and $120,000, complete. You'll know your number before you commit, and the approved price is the baseline — no surprise increases.
From first call to finished rooms.
- Free one-hour discovery call — what you want, what's wrong today, whether we fit.
- On-site visit — measurements and photos of your home.
- 2D floor plan + AI 3D views — walk through the design before it exists.
- Materials, colors, and estimate finalized — then you confirm.
- Install-crew measurement to the millimeter, supplier production drawings, and an on-site re-measure.
- Your final approval, then we build.
Change anything you like until the production drawings are approved — after that the design locks, which is what keeps your quote fixed and your timeline honest.
Sourced direct from the makers.
Custom cabinetry and hardware. Doors in glass, iron, aluminium, and wood. Modern steel staircases finished in wood, glass, or natural stone, with glass-and-steel railings. Tile and natural stone imported from India and China. Lighting, large-scale windows and sliding glass doors, stone-carved bathtubs, mirrors, appliances, and full media-room setups. Direct relationships mean the middleman markup stays out of your estimate — and the exact finish you approved is the one that arrives.
Collierville interior design FAQs.
How much does interior design cost in Collierville?
Full design-build with IVORAH runs $250–$600 per square foot depending on materials and customization. A ~200 sq ft kitchen is typically $50,000–$120,000 complete. Your quote is fixed before you commit.
How long will my project take?
Design typically takes 3–5 weeks, and we set the build timeline with your estimate. The design lock at production drawings is what keeps schedules real.
Who does the construction?
Licensed contractors engaged and managed by IVORAH. We verify licenses, visit their previous job sites, and speak with the homeowners they worked for before anyone touches your project.
Can I see materials before deciding?
Yes — materials and colors are finalized with you during design, before the estimate is confirmed. Nothing goes into production you haven't approved.
What if I change my mind after confirming?
You can change the design until the production drawings are approved; then it locks. That lock is why our prices don't creep.
Do you handle permits?
Yes. Permits aren't required unless plumbing, electrical, or gas changes — but we pull permits on nearly every project and manage the process for you.
Is there a warranty?
Warranty coverage depends on the project and the materials you choose — most come with a one-year warranty. The exact coverage for your selections is spelled out before you confirm your estimate.
What are the payment terms?
Design starts with a $500 site-visit package: the on-site visit and measurements, your 2D floor plan and AI-generated 3D views, material finalization, and your estimate. If you move forward, the $500 is credited toward your project; if you decide not to, it's non-refundable. After you approve, payments follow the project: 50% on approval, 20% when your products ship, 20% during installation, and the final 10% at the walkthrough — once you've approved the finished work.
