Nicole Lanteri Designs

Nicole Lanteri Designs at 1010 Wisconsin Avenue NW Suite 208 is a residential interior design studio in the Georgetown waterfront commercial building at the lower end of Wisconsin Avenue. The studio at this address shares the building with M2L, the German Kitchen Center, and the Poltrona Frau-Cassina-Cappellini showroom, creating a design services and furnishings cluster at the 1010 Wisconsin address that serves the Georgetown residential renovation market from multiple design perspectives.

The residential interior design practice at Nicole Lanteri Designs engages with the full range of the Georgetown residential project: the Federal-period townhouse that has been purchased and is being renovated to meet the current owner’s expectations while respecting the historical architecture; the Georgetown apartment in the converted commercial building that requires a different design approach from the townhouse; and the Georgetown family home that is being updated after decades of residence.

Interior design at the level that Nicole Lanteri Designs serves involves the coordination of the architectural renovation with the furniture selection, the textile specification, the lighting design, and the art and accessory placement that together produce the finished interior. The Georgetown residential client who engages a full-service interior designer is not simply buying furniture but commissioning the complete design of the living environment.

The 1010 Wisconsin Avenue address at the Georgetown waterfront approach concentrates the design services that the Georgetown renovation client needs in a single building, which makes the address a design destination for the Georgetown homeowner who is beginning a significant renovation project. Hours run Monday through Friday. The interior design consultation at Nicole Lanteri Designs typically begins with the client’s existing architectural conditions and the goals for the renovation: the rooms that are being changed and the outcome that the client imagines, the furniture that will be retained and the furniture that will be specified new, and the budget parameters that shape the design decisions. This preliminary consultation, which the studio provides before the formal design engagement begins, is the point at which the client and the designer establish the working relationship that the renovation project requires.

The Georgetown renovation project that Nicole Lanteri Designs engages with is typically at the level of the serious residential renovation rather than the cosmetic refresh: the Federal-period townhouse that is being properly restored and upgraded, the Georgetown apartment that is being transformed from a rental unit into a personal home, or the Georgetown family residence that is being reconfigured for the next generation of the family’s occupancy. The studio’s Wisconsin Avenue building location at 1010 places it adjacent to the furniture showrooms and design resources that the Georgetown renovation project requires. Hours run Monday through Friday. Nicole Lanteri Designs at 1010 Wisconsin Avenue NW Suite 208 serves the Georgetown residential renovation market from Monday through Friday, with consultation appointments available to the client whose renovation project requires the comprehensive interior design service. The studio’s position in the 1010 Wisconsin building provides the client with access to the furniture showrooms and kitchen design studios in the same building, which the Nicole Lanteri design team can coordinate with for the complete project specification.
