She has a strong design sensibility and brings a thoughtful, practical approach to every renovation. > > Tristan also has an exceptional eye for luxury design, creating spaces that truly feel special. I would recommend her to anyone looking to incorporate a true “wow factor” into their home. **★★★★★ — Kathryn, Feb. 2022** > Working with Tristan Gary Designs was a dream! Tristan was able to bring the whole design together in a way I never could have done myself and I couldn't be happier with the result. Every detail is beautiful and sophisticated but still comfortable and inviting - which is exactly what we wanted. The team is also very warm and easy to communicate with. I can't recommend them highly enough. **★★★★★ — Clay Moore, March 2019** > Top notch professional who knows how to make your house look its best. My home was cozy and comfortable, that is, it looked and felt middle aged. Tristan came and it gave it a makeover. Afterwards the house looked young, modern and uncluttered. Tristan and her team were professional and efficient. But the prove was in the result. Not only did the house look great, it sold in seven days in a lukewarm market. **★★★★★ — Fiore Pignataro, Feb. 2019** > I highly recommend Tristan and Seth! I have worked with Tristan Gary Designs in a couple of different capacities over many years: as a real estate broker for staging and design with my clients and as a homeowner for design in my personal home remodel. Tristan is a great communicator with a very positive and pleasant "can-do" attitude! She is able to work in a variety of home styles from traditional to contemporary. She has advised my clients on everything from a new accent light fixture to every single surface and detail on stunning high-end custom new construction home. Her staging is accessible to a wide array of buyers, is inviting and warm, and allows buyers to envision their lives unfolding in the space. I feel lucky to have Tristan Gary Design as part of my real estate marketing team! **★★★★★ — Shane Ristine, Nov. 2017** > Tristan Gary Designs is the best. Their design style is beautiful and their efficiency is impressive. We use Tristan exclusively for all of our listings as well as offering advice to buyers who ask for some design advice. We’ve been in real estate for 20 years and are thrilled to have Tristan as a resource for many years now. We will continue to use Tristan Gary Designs and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a thoughtful, fun and professional experience. **★★★★★ — Suzanne Fortune, Aug. 2017** > Tristan and Seth are top shelf staggers. They are efficient, affordable, detailed oriented and friendly. My clients were very pleased with the results and we received numerous compliments on the furniture selection and design of the staging. I highly recommend them, you will not be disappointed! **★★★★★ — JC Gagnaire, Aug. 2017** > I recently had the pleasure of working with clients who hired Tristan. I can’t say enough wonderful things about her expertise- the finish product exceeded everyone's expectations, her professionalism was second to none and her flexibility to work within her clients' unique requirements were unsurpassed. Tristan with Tristan Gary Designs does amazing work. **★★★★★ — mattorr, Feb. 2013** > Tristan was thoughtful and resourceful providing excellent choices.. The final results are fabulous. She came into our project mid project, hit the ground running. We heartily recommend her! **★★★★★ — Ryan Halset, Feb. 2013** > As you can see from her portfolio, she has a knack for making a house feel like a home. Hospitality through design says it all...whenever I have the opportunity to refer a client to Tristan, I do. I know that she will personally make sure that each client is completely taken care of from a relational standpoint, a design standpoint, and a financial standpoint (most of my clients are looking sell their homes and get the most return on their investment)...and she expertly guides clients through their options in an engaging way. > > I've seen her do everything from full remodels to staging and color consultations - each with a specific purpose to bring the most out of a space. > > Indispensable and highly recommended! Thank you Tristan! **★★★★ — Kaelen Schaefer, Feb. 2013** > Tristan Gary is my choice for a compassionate, skilled designer, with a great working knowledge of building materials and specifications. > > Tristan has a knack for finding the best of the best, high quality finishes, all while having respect for her clients tastes and preferences (as well as budgets). > > I have recommended Tristan to my own customers who think they may benefit from interior design services for their projects, and she is always well received and well loved. Tristan is a pleasure to work with. ## Selected projects - [Historic kitchen remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/historic-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~7251768) - Location: Everett, Washington - Photos: 13 - Description: This 1908 historic home needed a new kitchen that would honor the rest of the home. We opened up a dividing wall between the kitchen and a laundry/pantry area to embrace the multi-use purpose of the space. We went with an un-kitchen feel with open shelf lowers and a furniture piece pantry. Embracing the black cabinetry meant we needed to focus on lighting to ensure a usable space for our client. We also incorporated a back porch area into a usable sitting area with additional Bench seat storage… - [Luxury primary steam bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/luxury-primary-steam-bathroom-pj-vj~7168553) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Primary Bath Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/primary-bath-remodel-pj-vj~7102605) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 8 - [Rose Hill Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rose-hill-remodel-pj-vj~6933437) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - [Olympic Manor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/olympic-manor-pj-vj~6686381) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Greenwood bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/greenwood-bathroom-pj-vj~4607387) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 5 - Description: We finished an attic space that had been left standing as a someday project for years. - [Meridian Makeover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/meridian-makeover-pj-vj~6686180) - Location: Shoreline, WA - Photos: 7 - Description: An original barn to the area and was converted to a house over the years. We now converted it to a home for our clients. We opened up the kitchen, replaced flooring throughout and remodeled a bathroom. - [Lakeview Modern Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakeview-modern-farmhouse-pj-vj~5634981) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 27 - Description: This was a 1950's main floor + basement that had been remodeled over the years. We raised the ceiling height on the main floor, added a 2nd story, expansive decks, and gutted what was left. We wanted to keep some of the original home but in the end, all that remained was the exterior brick on the main level. We wanted to create a sense of arrival with the curb appeal that the home had been lacking.

Can you please tell me the spacing between the tiles? A: I am a big fan of the smallest grout line possible, unless it is a part of the title feature. 1/16th **Q: why did you choose undulating subway vs flat?** *(in Photo Questions)* I’m trying to decide between a matte white subway versus a glossy undulating subway tile. I’m trying to understand the aesthetic effect of one versus the other. Of note, the floor is a large pattern tile (gray, black, very light gray). A: Sorry I missed this question! You have probably already made your decision.....but I'll answer anyway. I would ask a clarifying question first though. Are you vacillating between 2 undulating tiles, 1 matte and 1 glossy? Or a matte flat and an undulating glossy? II like both! It all depends on what else I have going on it the bathroom space. I might even mix them together! I almost always prefer an undulating tile over a flat one.....almost. **Q: Are the floors, both the large and small hex black matte or dark grey?** *(in Photo Questions)* Such a beautiful bathroom! A: They are both black matte 😊 **Q: hi, I love the wall tile.** *(in Photo Questions)* Could you tell me manufacturer of wall tile? Thanks in advance! A: Hi there. It’s the New Yorker from Settecento **Q: What is the wall color?** *(in Photo Questions)* ? A: I'm looking for my paint file for this house....not locating it just now. But I believe it's Pediment by Sherwin Williams. I'll confirm when I find it. **Q: Shower threshold** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me what you used for the threshold for the shower? Thank you A: Thank you so much! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-01.*
