Remote Interior Designer Jobs

About Us

At Cohesively Curated Interiors, we create refined, highly personalized homes that reflect the way our clients live. Our work is rooted in thoughtful design, strong relationships, and a seamless client experience from concept through installation.

As our firm continues to grow, we are looking for a highly skilled Senior Interior Designer to join our team. This role is ideal for someone who is design obsessed, highly experienced in residential interiors, and equally strong in creative design, technical execution, construction documentation, and project leadership.

We are looking for someone who can independently lead projects, develop thoughtful design concepts, create detailed and buildable documentation, coordinate confidently with contractors and trades, and carry projects through construction and completion.

While experience with furniture selection and styling is a plus, this role is primarily focused on the architectural, technical, and construction-related aspects of our projects.
