D. Marie Interiors offers residential interior design services to homeowners in Yakima, WA and across the Yakima Valley. We help clients make design decisions that are both functional and aesthetically intentional — whether that’s a kitchen remodel, a new build finish-out, or a long-overdue living room refresh.
Yakima’s housing landscape is varied: older historic homes in the established neighborhoods near downtown, mid-century ranches throughout the valley, and newer construction in the growing areas to the east. We’ve worked with all of them, and we understand the regional context — the light quality, the climate, the way a home functions in a region where indoor-outdoor living is a real part of daily life for a meaningful chunk of the year.
Interior Design Services We Offer in Yakima
Kitchen Design and Remodel Coordination
Kitchen design is our most-requested service across Central Washington, and Yakima is no exception. We handle the full design scope — layout analysis, cabinetry selection, countertop and backsplash materials, lighting, appliances, and hardware — and then coordinate with your contractor through the build. Visit our Yakima kitchen remodel page for a deeper look at how we approach this work.
Bathroom Remodel Design
A well-designed bathroom requires more decision points than most homeowners expect — tile selection (floor and wall), vanity style and size, fixture finish, lighting type and placement, mirror, towel bars, shower configuration. We bring order to those decisions and help you land on a cohesive design that functions well and holds up over time.
Window Treatments
In Yakima, where summer sun is intense and energy efficiency matters, window treatment design is genuinely functional — not just decorative. We help homeowners choose the right combination of drapery, shades, and solar-blocking treatments for light control, privacy, and aesthetics.
Space Planning and Furniture Selection
If a room feels off but you can’t quite identify why, it’s often a scale or layout problem. We assess traffic flow, furniture sizing, and arrangement to make spaces feel larger, more intentional, and more livable. Then we help source furniture that fits — dimensionally and aesthetically.
Full-Home Interior Design
For new construction or whole-home renovations, we work from the ground up: establishing a design direction, selecting all surfaces and finishes, coordinating furniture and lighting procurement, and managing the installation process through to final styling.
Design in the Context of the Yakima Valley
Central Washington homes respond differently to design than homes in Seattle or Portland. The light is warmer and more direct. The climate is genuinely dry and continental, which means some materials that work fine in western Washington don’t perform as well here. Outdoor living matters here in a way that makes indoor-outdoor flow — and window placement — more important to get right.
We design with those realities in mind. That means material choices that work in the local climate, color palettes that respond to the quality of light (not just what looks good in a showroom with LED overheads), and layouts that consider how households actually function in the high desert environment of the Yakima Valley.
The American Society of Interior Designers outlines how professional design process moves from programming through to construction administration — which reflects roughly how we work as well, adapted to residential scale.
What to Expect When You Work With Us
The process starts with a consultation — either on-site in Yakima or by video depending on what works for you. We talk through what you’re trying to accomplish, where the current space falls short, and what a realistic budget looks like for the scope you have in mind. From there, we provide a written proposal and scope of work before any design work begins.
We don’t charge by the hour for most residential projects. We structure fees by project scope so you know what you’re committing to. There are no surprises.

What’s the difference between an interior designer and an interior decorator?
Interior designers address both functional and aesthetic aspects of a space — layout, spatial planning, built-in elements, lighting, and finishes as well as furnishings and decor. Decorators typically focus on furnishings and surface-level styling. D. Marie Interiors works at the design level, which is why we’re involved in kitchen and bathroom remodels, not just furniture selection.
Can I hire D. Marie Interiors for just one room in Yakima?
Yes. We take on single-room projects regularly. Whether it’s a kitchen that needs a full redesign or a living room that needs help coming together, we’re flexible on scope.
