What does a design consultation with Von include?
Von visits your home (or reviews your plans), listens to how you live and what you want, and looks at light, flow, scale and the architecture. You come away with clear recommendations on furniture layout, color, lighting, window treatments and priorities, and the names of trusted local trades if you need them. Many clients get real results from a single visit.
What areas does Von Nash Interiors serve?
Coeur d’Alene and the surrounding North Idaho communities, including Hayden, Post Falls, Rathdrum and Sandpoint, with select projects in Spokane and the wider Inland Northwest. If you’re farther afield, ask; plan reviews can often be done from drawings and photos.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the scope: a single consultation is very different from a new-build plan review. Von talks through the project and cost in your first conversation, before you commit to anything, and she is known for respecting a budget. As she told the Coeur d’Alene Press, she works with people’s budgets for what they need done.
Is Von still taking clients? I heard she was retiring.
Von is in a busy semi-retirement. She has stepped back from running a retail showroom so she can focus on what she enjoys most: one-on-one consultations, design strategy and plan reviews. The hands-on work is carried out by a trusted network of local tradespeople.
Can Von help before my house is built?
Yes, and it is the best time. Reviewing plans before construction lets her check furniture layouts, window placement, lighting, outlets, storage and traffic flow while changes still cost nothing. See Blueprint-to-Completion Consultations.
Do I have to buy new furniture?
Not at all. Some of Von’s favorite projects use almost everything the client already owns, re-arranged, re-covered or restored. She is a firm believer in preserving well-made furniture and family heirlooms.
Is there still a showroom I can visit?
No. After more than a decade on Kathleen Avenue, the landlord doubled the rent, and Von chose to close the showroom rather than pass the cost on to her customers. She now works by appointment only and comes to you: your home, your building site or wherever your project is. Call or text (208) 660-0553 to set a time. (The full story is on The Showroom Years.)
Does Von do window treatments?
Yes. Window treatments have been part of her work for decades: custom drapery, plantation shutters, shades and blinds, plus the right hardware and hanging height. She also considers safety (cordless options for homes with children and pets) and insulation for North Idaho winters.
Can Von help us downsize?
Yes. She helps families decide what to bring, plans the new home to scale so you know what will fit before moving day, and arranges everything on arrival so the new place feels like home immediately.
Who does the actual work: painting, electrical, installation?
Licensed, independent local companies, either your own contractor or tradespeople from Von’s network, chosen for the job. Von provides the design direction and keeps the vision consistent.
