Why Sammamish Homeowners Trust
Our Interior Design Process

Sammamish combines wooded hillsides, lake access, and quiet neighborhoods, so your home needs to feel like both a retreat and a highly functional hub for everyday life. Ariana Designs & Interiors uses an integrated, collaborative process where architects, interior designers, and clients work together, making sure every decision—from floor plan and storage to finishes and furnishings—supports how you live now and how your home should perform for years to come. Clear, structured communication keeps you involved at each step, so the finished space feels deeply personal, practical, and right for Sammamish’s nature-forward lifestyle.

Discovery & Direction

We learn how you live in Sammamish, then set a clear design direction so architecture, interiors, and furnishings all support your routines, priorities, and one cohesive long-term vision.

Design & Permitting

We refine layouts, finishes, lighting, and built-ins to optimize views, light, and flow, then coordinate drawings and approvals with your build team to keep permitting and construction efficient and predictable.

Execution & Handover

We manage construction details, resolve on-site questions, and oversee finish and furniture installation so your approved design is executed precisely—and your Sammamish home is fully styled and move-in ready.

Designing for Sammamish’s
Natural Beauty

Sammamish is defined by its proximity to Lake Sammamish, tall evergreens, and an extensive network of parks and trails—Pine Lake, Beaver Lake, Soaring Eagle, and more. We design homes that make the most of that setting while still feeling comfortable year-round.

  • Indoor–outdoor connection – We use large windows, doors, and outdoor living areas to tie interiors to decks, patios, and views, so you feel connected to nature from your main living spaces.
  • Everyday practicality – Mudrooms, family rooms, and kitchens are planned for wet boots, sports gear, pets, and busy routines, with durable finishes that still look refined.
  • Light and warmth – Layered lighting, balanced palettes, and thoughtful material choices help brighten gray days while maintaining the cozy, calm feeling many Sammamish homeowners want.
  • Neighborhood context – Whether you’re in a lakeview community, a wooded subdivision, or a more rural-feeling pocket, we consider views, privacy, and architecture so your home feels right for its surroundings.

Drawing on projects across Sammamish and neighboring Eastside cities, our team brings tested strategies for layouts, materials, and detailing that respond to this specific environment, not a generic template.
