For Builders:
Interior Direction for Custom Homes Built With Intention

Strategic collaboration for custom homes that deserve cohesion from the first framing meeting to final install.

Our Approach

You build the structure. I define the interior direction that ensures the finished home feels unified, intentional, and architecturally aligned. When selections are made one decision at a time, momentum slows, and cohesion suffers. I step in early to create a structured design framework — aligning materials, lighting, finishes, and detailing before they become fragmented choices. The result is a smoother process, fewer change orders, and a final product that reflects a higher standard, because beautiful builds deserve thoughtful interiors.

  • "She took my multitude of ideas and streamlined them all into functional and timeless designs. She was able to narrow down the options, work well with our builders, and help guide me through the decisions at every step."

    —Jennifer Smith: Custom Build Norwich, NY

  • "Jessica from The Cottage on Kingsley beautifully brought our vision to life and helped create our dream kitchen. She pulled together beautiful products and respected our investment. Our favorite item that she picked out was our countertops!"

    —Amanda Weeks: Kitchen Renovation, Greene, NY

  • "I am so grateful to come home to our beautiful house, stand in our exquisite kitchen, and take it all in every day!"

    —Jennifer Smith: Custom New Build, Norwich, NY

  • "She also sourced multiple pendant lights and barstools until we found the perfect one. Most importantly, we always felt heard and understood. If you are looking for someone to do the sourcing and specifications for your next project, we highly recommend The Cottage on Kingsley!."

Meet the Designer: Jess Bergeron

With insight into both residential and commercial construction environments, I design with sequencing, trade coordination, and real-world durability in mind.

I understand how decisions made early impact everything downstream.

Interior design should support the build — not complicate it.

WHY IT MATTERS

When clients are left to navigate selections alone, timelines stretch, and revisions increase.

Clear interior direction protects:

• Your schedule
• Your margins
• Your team’s efficiency
• The architectural integrity of the home

A unified design approach elevates resale value, strengthens your portfolio, and positions your builds at a higher tier in the market.

WHO I PARTNER BEST WITH

Custom builders who:

• Focus on quality over volume
• Value architectural cohesion
• Want to elevate beyond builder-grade finishes
• Appreciate structured communication
• Are ready to differentiate in a competitive market

If that sounds like your approach, we’re likely aligned.
