Who We Are
Thanks for your interest in Sloan Co. Design. We are an Orange County-based interior design studio. Some of our favorite local communities to design in are Villa Park, Fullerton, Cowan Heights, Orange, Tustin, Floral Park and anywhere in the US with a little charm!
Our approachable team works collaboratively with our clients to ensure their home authentically reflects their personal goals, values, and lifestyle.
Well-planned, efficient processes and clear communication are top priorities in our firm, where it’s quite literally all about the details.
Success to us is when a client and their family can’t wait to welcome friends and neighbors into their sacred space, home.
I'm Amanda Sloan, the owner and principal designer here at Sloan Co. With an architect for a father and an interior designer for a mother, I’ve lived, worked and played in this space my entire life. With a business background and degree, I know the importance of delivering projects that exceed our clients’ design expectations while delivering a client experience that makes the experience exciting instead of daunting.

Our Detailed Approach
Six-Phase Process
There are a million details that come to life during the course of any design project, so we’ve broken our process down into 6 phases so that we can seamlessly move through your project life cycle. Review our design process below so that you know what you can expect when you hire Sloan Co Design, as your full-service design firm.
1
RESEARCH + ONBOARDING
We begin by working in tandem with your architect and builder to make sure that your design goals and ideals are successfully integrated into the architectural plans. We provide feedback and recommendations on your floor plans and elevations, placing emphasis on understanding how you and your family live.
2
In this phase, we get to know you and your style through questionnaires and an interview. We review your inspiration imagery, gather our own, and present a complete vision for your home, including the style and tone, colors, textures, and materials. We also establish a budget, since we understand that every client has one!
3
FINISHES DESIGN
During this phase we select interior and exterior finishes, specifying trade finishes like plumbing and lighting fixtures, tile, countertops, flooring, wall and window treatments, ceiling treatments, cabinetry, hardware and millwork. The list is long and we check a lot of boxes here! Once the design elements are approved, we create an extensive Specification Book for your build team, which includes technical drawings and elevations, finish schedules, specification sheets and installation guides for all materials selected for your home.
4
ONSITE DESIGN IMPLEMENTATION
After all documentation is provided to your builder, we conduct several job walks to address questions and resolve issues with your builder. Our goal is to partner with your builder to handle all questions and on-site job walks, allowing you to relax while we manage the details!
5
FURNITURE DESIGN
With construction underway, we move forward with furniture and styling. We select upholstered furniture, cased goods, accessories, artwork, rugs, bedding, and pillows that reflect your style. We carefully plan the placement of each item, from key pieces to finishing touches. We often design custom pieces to set your home apart and make it authentically you. We handle all procurement and store the items until your project is ready for delivery.
6
INSTALLATION +
WELCOME HOME
When construction is complete, we work with our trusted installation team to transform what was once a construction site, into YOUR home!
Are you ready to work with a partner you can count on?
