Ellaire Kitchen & Bath Design

Ellaire Kitchen & Bath Design is a Northern California design studio specializing in kitchen, bath, and whole-home remodels throughout Truckee, Lake Tahoe, and the greater Sacramento area. Led by award-winning NKBA Certified Kitchen & Bath Designer and Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist Tammy Battistessa, the firm focuses on thoughtful layouts, cabinetry design, hard surface selections, and construction-ready plans that bring clarity and cohesion to the remodeling process. Services include architectural plan reviews, concept development, and full-service remodel design - helping homeowners and contractors make informed decisions before construction begins. Rather than focusing on furnishings and soft surface decorating, Ellaire specializes in the foundational elements of a remodel: improving function and flow, solving layout challenges, and creating detailed, buildable design plans that support how clients truly live in their homes. With a background in IT project management and data analysis, Tammy brings structure, foresight, and organization to complex remodels. Clients value the clear communication, thoughtful planning, and problem-solving approach that help eliminate costly design mistakes and reduce decision fatigue during construction. Ellaire’s aesthetic is rooted in clean, natural, timeless design with warm materials, layered textures, and calm visual palettes. Whether modernizing a mountain home in Tahoe or reworking the layout of a Sacramento kitchen, the goal is always the same: to create spaces that feel functional, intentional, and beautifully livable. At the core of every project is one guiding philosophy: if the function and flow of the home are not better when the project is complete, then an opportunity was missed.
