Although the nearly 2000sqft space was an unfinished "clean slate" it was more prepped for a restaurant tenant than a retail-friendly storefront. One of two furnaces (?!) hung clumsily down into the middle of it. It was also a tunnel, attached on both sides to other buildings, so natural light was very limited. > > Kim of Maven Interiors quickly took stock of the space. Within a week of learning what our goals were for creating a bright, "anti-office-feeling" environment suitable for up to 25 people to be working efficiently (as well as a retail-friendly entry) she came up with an attractive, dimensioned floorplan. Her idea to bring light through the space was to design partitioned offices with panels of glass installed the last 2 vertical feet of each wall, which carried the natural south-facing exposure all through them. After several more succinct, productive discussions, we were excited to have a product that needed very little architect input to be submissible for permitting, and one with an eye to minimizing construction costs for the contractors who bid the work. > > Once we selected a general contractor, Kim and/or her staff were onsite frequently to insure the work was progressing to plan, including many interactions with subs who sometimes needed her focus to stay on track. She also sourced several local artists for mural and custom panel art that she directed, concept-wise, and made the process a collaboration with our input as well! The end results were an injection of "beauty with purpose" which is to say that the images were colorful and creative, yet reflective of both the nature of our business and our connection to - and love of - the Pacific Northwest. > > The other fun part was finalizing the furniture pieces and colors. Kim gave us a lot of great options she felt could work, but not so many flavors that we glazed over or felt overwhelmed. She arranged for us to test the office chairs, and carefully researched the appliances we would need to fit a small kitchen area properly without blowing the budget. > > We ended up with an inviting, beautiful "anti-office space" that nevertheless functions well for the almost 30 people who now work in it - some have dedicated desks, some come in less frequently and plug in at a communal table that comfortably accommodates 10. Although the art is prominent and the design eye-catching, Kim also made sure it was very clear what kind of business we were. Consequently, we attract many walk-in visitors who turn into clients, and who love the transparency and the sleek design elements. Many more passersby simply gawk from the sidewalk and snap photos! How cool is that?! **★★★★★ — pmcatlett, Nov. 2014** > We moved into a contemporary home and wanted to create an environment that is warm and sophisticated while also highly livable for an active family. We'd made some bad choices and we knew we had to start over... painful position to be in. Maven Interiors helped us refine our vision for our home and then, with their creativity, persistence, resourcefulness and brilliant design, made it better than we could have imagined. By home decorating standards, our budget was modest, yet they designed custom furniture pieces to address flow and floor plan issues and are better style and price than anything we found through traditional sources. They sourced beautiful, elegant rugs that will be family treasures and did not blow the budget. And they accessorized without "staging" the house. There was no detail too small. They listened, problem-solved, and partnered in the most respectful and professional way. And they nailed the budget! Maven is high design without the pretense. Founder/owner Kim Hagstette is a superstar! **★★★★★ — ginacondon, Nov. 2014** > Kim has taken the time to get to know me which comes through in her work. She is great at addressing my immediate needs within the context of my long range goals! I have three young children and need separate kid and adult spaces. Kim gets it! She has done an excellent job on all of the projects that we have worked on together over the years, from picking colors for my 4,000 square foot home, to selecting new art, light fixtures, and furniture, to staging my living room and dinning room for a fundraising event! I look forward to redesigning my kitchen and bathrooms with her next year! **★★★★★ — gangelique, May 2014** > Kim Hagstette is an extraordinary designer! I have thoroughly enjoyed working with her & have greatly benefitted from her expansive ideas & unique approach to design. She is an attentive listener, a creative problem-solver & treats each project with a great deal of care & commitment. One of the things I've most appreciated about working with Kim is that she treats the designer-client relationship as a true partnership. She invites, welcomes & considers my ideas which allows her to do her best work by better understanding my goals & desires. The end result of my experience working with Kim is a home that I love & consider to be my sanctuary. **★★★★★ — heidilmcbride, March 2014** > Kim Hagstette, of Maven Interiors, has a gift for bringing talented people together to work collectively to bring her vision to life. She is skilled at knowing who to bring in, and at giving them the creative bandwidth to do their best work, while gently guiding so that the over-arching design themes are respected. The benefit to her clients has been inspired design that is anything but predictable. > > If one is looking for a designer who will listen and guide them to a great end result, I highly recommend Maven! > > Heidi McBride > Original Art Consultation & Direction **★★★★★ — suzgladys, Feb. 2014** > Kim Hagstette, of Maven Interiors, is absolutely divine to work with. She is the loveliest person, with a great sense of humour and boy is she clever!! We completely gutted our 4 story (tall, skinny) city house in Toronto, Canada. Her design ideas were brilliant. She transformed our ordinary little house into something extraordinary. I Highly recommend Maven Interiors! Kim is fantastic! **★★★★★ — MADE, Inc., Oct. 2013** > My company worked with Kim Hagstette from Maven Interiors on a large studio loft space in which she was the interior designer. Her responsibilities for this project seemed to exceed those usually reserved for the interior designer, as she also had a strong hand in conceptualization of art, sourcing local craftspeople to collaborate on the project, and keeping a close eye on the project management and detailing as a whole. She was an inspiration to work with, as she had such a strong vision yet was still very interested in pursuing different channels to best pull that vision off. As we got closer to the deadline, she remained calm, cool, and collected— and she worked through the inevitable project hiccups with professional grace. The project we collaborated on ended up on the front page of Luxe magazine, and her clients seemed very pleased with the result. It is my highest hope that we will be able to work with Maven Interiors again in the future. **★★★★★ — tkehive, Oct. 2013** > As a vendor for many furniture and lighting lines I work with a lot of designers. Kim is in an elite league in my book. She always comes to me with a thought out design story and selections for her clients. > > Professional, organized, thorough and talented, this is the designer that you want to hire. Kim has a relaxed persona with a can do attitude. It is always a pleasure to work on projects with Kim as she has a unique style that pulls together style and function very well. **★★★★★ — tvschneider, Oct. 2013** > We hired Kim from Maven Interiors to help us with a complete remodel of our new Condo in NW Portland. Kim is a consummate professional and a joy to work with. She was able to guide us through the entire project- providing insight, reason and creativity. Kim listened to us and what our needs and desires were for our new home, she incorporated these requests into the design esthetic and we couldn't be happier with the final result. We would highly recommend using Maven Interiors, we have used Kim & Maven on three separate residential projects and have been very very pleased with the experience. Kim has an eye for detail,no matter how large or small, she works hard to find the solution to a design challenge and greets every project with talented enthusiasm. ## Selected projects - [Nob Hill Penthouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/nob-hill-penthouse-pj-vj~350229) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 15 - Description: This project was featured on the cover of Luxe Magazine Summer 2013 NW edition.
