What type of clients does Wendy Combs Studio work with?

We work with homeowners who want a thoughtful, elevated home and appreciate having a clear design direction. Most of our clients are busy professionals or families who want a trusted guide to help them make confident decisions and create a home that feels warm and grounded.

What interior design services does Wendy Combs Studio offer?

Our two main services are Signature Design Immersion and Full-Service Interior Design. A Design Immersion is a focused, 1-3 day in-home session that brings clarity and direction to your project. Full-Service Interior Design is a comprehensive design experience for both furnishings and renovation projects.

What is a Design Immersion consultation?

A Design Immersion is a high-touch, 1-to-3-day in-home experience where we spend dedicated time together walking through your space, talking through your goals, and creating a complete design direction in real time. You walk away with an online personal design studio containing all design choices, curated selections, and any drawings or concept renderings.

How much does an interior designer cost in Portland, Oregon?

At Wendy Combs Studio, design fees are structured as a flat fee paid in installments. You can expect to spend roughly $3,000 to $5,000 per room for design fees. Furnishing a home with a designer starts at a minimum of $20,000 to $30,000 per fully designed room, with investment increasing based on size, quality, custom pieces, and the mix of furnishings. Interior renovation projects for kitchens, bathrooms, and multi-room updates usually begin around $100,000 depending on scope.

Where does Wendy Combs Studio work?

We primarily work with clients throughout the Portland metro area, including Lake Oswego, West Linn, Dunthorpe, the West Hills, and close-in Eastside neighborhoods like Irvington, Eastmoreland, and Laurelhurst. We also take on select projects throughout the United States when the fit and timing are right.

What styles does Wendy Combs Studio specialize in?

We lean toward warm modern interiors with clean lines, natural textures, layered materials, and a collected feel. We tailor every project to reflect each client's tastes rather than following a template or trend. Whether eclectic, classic, or a blend of contemporary and vintage, our expertise is in creating polished yet livable homes.

How does Wendy Combs Studio charge for interior design?

We structure design fees as a flat fee paid in installments based on your particular scope of work. Every project is unique, so we begin each full-service design project with an in-home consultation to develop the scope and calculate the fee. This avoids the mystery of hourly billing and surprise invoices.

How do I know if I need a Design Immersion or Full-Service Interior Design?

Design Immersions are best for homeowners who want a focused, in-home design experience where we solve the right problems, make key decisions together, and create a clear direction. Full-Service Design is for homeowners who want a complete, end-to-end experience where we create the full vision, develop all furnishings and decor, provide renovation design, and handle procurement and installation.

SIGNATURE DESIGN IMMERSION

Clear Design Direction for Your Home in Days

A Signature Design Immersion is an in-home, 1 to 3 day interior design consultation. We turn uncertainty into a cohesive plan you can act on with confidence.

“She saved us hours of decision overwhelm and regrettable impulse purchases and most importantly, helped us create a home that feels beautiful, comfortable, interesting and welcoming that just suits our family!”

FROM SPINNING TO FINALLY RIGHT. FINALLY YOURS.

We work in your home for 1 to 3 days, making real time decisions with your space and existing pieces in view. It keeps the process focused because we can pivot quickly, confirm scale on the spot, and move forward with clarity.

In-Home Momentum.

We translate your priorities and lifestyle into a custom design and a decision framework so that you can transform your home to finally feel complete, just right and uniquely yours.

Personalized Approach.

Scale, color, layout, and function are handled together so you’re not guessing one purchase at a time. You get the benefit of a trained eye and a sourcing network that makes the right choices easier to find and easier to finalize.

Expert Guidance.

Kitchen with wooden cabinets, marble countertop, double sink, gold faucet, windows with greenery outside, potted plant, framed painting, and decorative items.

A round wooden dining table with a white textured ceramic vase containing colorful poppy flowers in various shades of red, orange, pink, and white, with beige upholstered chairs around the table, a dark-colored sideboard in the background with a wooden sculpture and a wall hanging above.

Modern open-concept dining area with a wooden table, mixed chairs, a contemporary staircase with wooden steps and black supports, large windows, and minimalist decor including framed artwork on the wall.

THE EXPERIENCE

COHESIVE, CLEAR & CONFIDENT

We stop the spinning by giving you a clear decision framework and design that actually works as a whole.

First, we get honest about your priorities. How you want your home to feel. How you live. What is staying, what is going, and what is worth investing in.

Then we translate that into direction you can act on: a cohesive design made up of the right pieces, chosen for your space, your light, your architecture, and your life.

You receive clarity and confidence, plus a path to implementation that makes sense. You know what to do first, what to do later, what to skip, and how to make future decisions without unraveling the plan.

The result is not just a better looking room. It is a home that feels finished, calm, and distinctly yours. Your purchases start working for you, not against you. And the ripple effect is real: you live better in a space that finally supports your life.

FOUNDER + DESIGNER

Your Questions Answered

A Design Immersion is a private, in-home interior design consultation delivered over one to three focused days. Instead of dragging decisions out over months, we work in real time to set priorities, resolve key questions, and build a cohesive plan you can implement with confidence.
A Design Immersion is best for someone who wants a home designed around how they actually live and is tired of piecemeal decisions. You value expertise and an efficient process, and you are able to make decisions quickly once you have clear direction. You want a plan you can implement yourself, at your own pace, with confidence about what to do first, what comes next, and how to keep every decision aligned so your home finally feels complete.
This is best when you want guided decisions and are ready to move. If you love independent sourcing and extensive price comparisons, you will be happier with a different approach.
You’ll complete a short questionnaire and share photos, measurements, and any existing plans so that we’re able to make the best use of our day.
You’ll receive a design roadmap that typically includes space planning, a cohesive visual plan, and curated selections. You’ll also receive one week of post immersion email support and a follow up Zoom meeting to keep momentum and help you implement.

Yes. Our Design Concierge is available to answer questions related to purchases through our trade vendors. For retail items, we will provide links so you can purchase directly on your own.
Full service is a longer partnership with full implementation. A Design Immersion is designed to compress the strategy and decision making into a short, high impact window. You get clarity and a complete direction quickly that you can then implement yourself.
Wendy Combs Studio is based in Portland, Oregon. Most Design Immersions are in-home within the Portland metro area. Virtual immersions and additional travel are available by request.
