Astute Abode Design

Sarah researched and consulted with us on all aspects of our living and dining rooms, ensuring every detail was carefully considered. From selecting fabrics for a custom sectional and ottoman to choosing lamps, pillows, and end tables, she guided us expertly through the design process. We highly recommend her personalized approach to interior design.

We had a wonderful experience working with Sarah Hay, the founder of Astute Abode Design, on the exterior colors for our North Kitsap home. We have a large house that, although beautiful, has some awkwardness in its exterior design in the back. In the front, more than half of our facade has natural stone with predominantly warm tones. And to make things even more complicated, the original acrylic window frames are stark white... In spite of so many limiting elements, Sarah was able to come up with a great solution to our problem. The new color scheme compliments the peaceful atmosphere of our property and, at the same time, adds a touch of timeless sophistication to our slightly awkward house. Aside from having obvious creative talent, Sarah is a great listener and communicator, and will do her best to incorporate your personal preferences into the final product. I strongly recommend Astute Abode Design for any project that involves colors and shapes.

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE !! We are extremely happy with every aspect of our collaboration with designer Sarah Hay, Astute Abode Design. We are new to the Seattle area, so our realtor referred us to Sarah who helped us plan a full house renovation. She was very responsive & accommodating to our out-of-state travel schedule throughout the entire process. Sarah was instrumental in helping us plan the layout, design aesthetic and project oversight with the general contractor. Her resourcefulness & industry contacts were essential to accelerate the sourcing and ordering of a wide variety of products and materials. In addition, her attention to detail and problem solving skills were essential at each stage of this complete renovation. As experienced homeowners, we appreciated that Sarah took the time to understand and consider our preferences to encompass both style and function into our home design. She is a dependable and skilled designer with integrity and professionalism. We are very happy with the end result and could not have done this without her assistance. Helene & Charles, Seattle, WA

Sarah helped me on my entire house with furniture, art, bookshelves, paint, etc. In my experience with her, Sarah was intelligent, timely, fun, and very relatable. She used her expertise to guide me to find what I didn't know that I would actually like. Sarah introduced me to new textures and colors, and showed me how it works in combinations. She helped me find my style, which is different from hers. To me, that is saying something about her professionalism.
