Introduction
Hi! I'm Katie and I’m a Northern Virginia based interior designer who’s out to create bold, beautiful spaces that are packed with timeless inspiration and intention. I use my designs to shape meaningful living within my clients’ homes, helping them thrive within their day-to-day lives. My recent feature on the Made for Mothers blog says it best: "For Katie Argueta, interior design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about connection, intuition, and transformation. As the founder of Argueta Abode Designs, she has a unique ability to step into a space, instantly visualize its potential, and create designs that feel deeply personal to her clients. Her approach extends beyond furniture choices and color palettes; she dives into the emotions and functionality of a space, considering how it will shape her clients’ daily experiences. Katie doesn’t just design rooms—she crafts environments that promote comfort, creativity, and a sense of belonging. Whether it’s a peaceful retreat for a busy mom, a family-friendly space where little ones can thrive, or a refined area that elevates a home’s aesthetic, she ensures that every design choice serves a greater purpose. By blending strategy with intuition, Katie seamlessly bridges the gap between what her clients say they want and what they actually need. She has an innate talent for picking up on unspoken preferences, effortlessly curating mood boards, sketches, and product selections that reflect not just their taste—but their lifestyle. Through her work, she transforms homes into intentional, functional, and inspiring spaces that help her clients live their best lives." My services include: - 1-Hour Design Consultations (In-person ($225) + Virtual ($195)) - Custom Design Plans - Renovation Planning - Decorating + Styling - Hourly Onsite Design Consulting ($150/hour + travel fee if further than 30 minutes from me) DESIGN CONSULTATIONS: Gain new ideas on how to update your spaces. Identify what's missing, what's needed, bounce ideas off of me, ask for my opinions and recs, and learn more about my design process. 1-hour design consultations can take place both locally within the Northern Virginia area as well as virtually from anywhere! What’s included in a consultation, you ask? After our initial conversation, I'll send over a brief pre-consultation questionnaire for you to fill out as well as request a few photos of your space. These will allow me to prepare some ideas beforehand that align with your design goals. During the hour, you can use me to bounce ideas off of or ask my opinions or recommendations for anything you’ve been pondering within your spaces. You can also learn a bit more about my process and how I work as a designer. After we meet, I'll use everything I gathered from the consultation to submit a tailored proposal to you that will include an overview of my design service pricing for your unique project. If you choose to move forward (yay!), I’ll then get you placed on the Argueta Abode Designs schedule and you’ll be one step closer to having the home you desire! CUSTOM DESIGN PLANS: The all-encompassing, detailed, and evolving design document I'll create, tailored to your project needs. My design plans are presentation-style documents I build out for each space to share inspiration photos, idea concepts, sketches, linked products, materials, layouts, color palettes, etc. for client review, feedback, and selections. I continually update these documents to track all design decisions, notes, and direction so everything resides in one organized place for all parties to have access to. Design plans cover what your specific space needs whether it be a full renovation overview, only sourced furniture and decor, or solely decor finds. RENOVATION PLANNING: Don't go at your big renovation project alone! By bringing me in at the start of your renovation to work with you and your contractor, you'll be able to breathe a sigh of relief knowing you'll have thoughtful design input, recommendations, guidance, and ideas throughout the entire process (and not be stuck regretting your choices later on). I can help map out any structural changes as well as find the best materials and finishes for your design goals. I'll go shopping with you and/or source items on my own for your review and selection. You will have a finalized design plan as a visual overview of all renovation choices for your contractor to work from. I can then be utilized as a resource throughout the work period both onsite and virtually to ensure all is aligned with the vision. DECORATING + STYLING: You love your furniture or recent remodel work, but your space still feels incomplete. I’ll find the right decor to bring in those dreamy finishing touches. Message me about your hopes, dreams, visions, challenges, needs, etc. for your spaces. I'll put a plan together for how I can help!

Working with Katie was a game-changer for my family room. I have never thought of hiring an interior designer as it just seems out of my budget but my family room was never functional with toys and I needed help. My only regret is not hiring Springfield Home Services sooner. She seamlessly blended my existing pieces with new additions and stayed within my budget. She took the time to learn my style and goals with the room. Having kids that are getting older I wanted a more functional space for tweens but also needed a space for my youngest who still plays with toys. She was responsive with my inquiries and was creative in making everything functional for my three children. The transformation of my family room due to Katie’s vision is remarkable. It is possible to have comfort and elegance without breaking the bank. I highly recommend Katie from Springfield Home Services for redesigning your home. I am already planning on hiring her for my dining room next.

I recently hired Katie to redesign my living and dining rooms, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. While I had a general style in mind, I struggled to bring it all together. Katie really hit the mark! Her design plans captured my vision perfectly, and the furniture and decor pieces she selected were exactly what I wanted. Katie was also a pleasure to work with—down-to-earth, open to feedback, and made the process so easy. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, approachable designer.

Working with Katie was a dream. It was so helpful to get her ideas. She drafted a plan after we sent her some photos and then came over in person to talk thru it. Years of scratching my head over what to do with our complicated space got settled with one visit. I only wish we’d worked with her sooner. She’s communicative, down-to-earth, and knowledgeable.
