What services does Ourso Designs offer for new construction projects?

Ourso Designs primarily specializes in renovations and additions, helping homeowners reimagine existing spaces through thoughtful space planning, custom cabinetry design, material selections, and cohesive interior detailing. We work closely with clients and contractors to transform homes in a way that feels intentional, functional, and tailored to how you live.


For new construction, we enhance architectural plans with cabinetry and built-in design, interior space planning adjustments, curated material selections, and detailed coordination to ensure the finished home feels cohesive from the inside out.

Can you design custom cabinetry for my home?

Absolutely. Custom cabinetry design is one of our core services. We create detailed cabinet elevations and layouts tailored to your space, ensuring style, function, and storage needs are perfectly aligned for kitchens, bathrooms, mudrooms, closets, and more.

Do I need to have house plans before working with Ourso Designs?

Not necessarily - it depends on the type of project.


For renovations and additions, you do not need existing plans. We begin with an on-site consultation and site analysis to understand your home and goals, then guide the design process from there.


For new construction, a preliminary set of architectural plans is typically required. Architects and draftsmen often establish the overall layout first, and we come in to refine the interior: space planning, cabinetry design, materials, and the detailed elements that bring the home together.


We’re happy to join your project at whatever stage you’re in.

At what stage of the new construction process should I contact you?

The best time to begin is before construction starts, ideally right after your architectural plans are completed. Early involvement ensures cabinetry layouts, material choices, and design details are finalized before framing and ordering begin.

Do you work with builders and contractors?

Yes. We collaborate closely with your builder, architect, and contractors to ensure all design details are clear, coordinated, and executed correctly during construction. Our goal is to streamline the process for the entire team.

Do you provide material and finish selections?

Yes. We guide you through material selections such as flooring, tile, countertops, hardware, plumbing fixtures, lighting, and exterior finishes—helping create a cohesive style throughout your home.

Do you only work on homes in Louisiana?

Our primary service area is Louisiana, but depending on project scope, we may take on select out-of-state projects or provide remote design services.

How long does the design process take?

Timelines vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project.


On average, the design planning phase, including space planning, cabinetry, materials, and interior detailing, takes several weeks. We’ll provide a customized timeline specific to your project during your consultation.
