Tana has been in business since 1996 and can do anything from full project management to rearrangement of rooms using existing pieces or just a simple paint color consultation.  She has years of experience working with installers, plans, permits, finishes, budget, contractors and builders.  She has great intuitive skills that help in many ways as well as communication with trades people on a project. Partnering with good contractors and finish installers is a must and Tana has working relationships with many good trades people.

Purchasing through Contract Furnishings Mart, offering carpet, ceramic tile, natural stone, hardwood, laminate, vinyl and more, helps Altstadt Interiors' clients get great pricing on materials. Altstadt Interiors can refer and coordinate installers for the above materials.   Altstadt Interiors also has established accounts with many furniture and fabric lines as well as utilizing the Seattle Design Center and other resources for furniture, fabric and accessory purchases. 

To schedule an appointment, please contact Tana Mattson at her design studio and consignment furniture shop 206-523-8838.  Because all jobs are unique, pricing is not always the same.  Basic costs are an hourly design time and procuring rate with purchases at cost with a small mark up, always less than retail.  For larger jobs a retainer may be required. Evening and Saturday appointments available.

Finding your own style: 

Ways to do this are to know your space, i.e. know how it flows and works or doesn't work by living in the space for a good amount of time.  Know how rooms are needed with your lifestyle.

Look through design magazines, books, etc. and keep a scrap book or file of the pictures or pieces that spoke to you or you distinctly love.

From your travels or special gifts gathered think of pieces you would like to use or build on in specific areas of the home.

View: do you have one, do you need one?  Placement and area of view affects the interiors.  How does privacy affect view,  and window treatments?

Questions to ask yourself:

• What image or lifestyle do you wish to project in each room or overall?
• How will each room be used?
• What activities will take place in each room?
• What is your time frame, for each room?
• What is your budget, for overall and/or each room?
• Which area or room has priority?  After first priority what follows?
• Are there trouble areas or specific information that should be given or addressed?
