Single room refresh

One room, considered carefully. Often a living room, a primary suite, a library — the place in the house that has never quite worked.

04 / Approach

We work slowly, on purpose.

01

Discovery

We begin with a long conversation. About how you live, what you've inherited, what you've outgrown. Site visits follow, then a written brief that becomes our shared compass.

2–3 weeks
02

Design

Concept boards, material samples, plans drawn to scale. We present in person, in rooms that feel like the rooms we are designing for you. Revisions are expected; speed is not the point.

8–12 weeks
03

Sourcing & build

We source through trade, restore where we can, commission when we should. Our build partners are people we know by first name. You see the project on a rhythm you choose.

12–28 weeks
04

Installation

The final week is ours. We arrive, install, style, photograph if you allow it, and leave you with a folio of every decision we made together.

1 week
05 / The studio

A small practice, by design.

Hakim Wiggins is a residential interior design studio founded by Hakim Wiggins in 2018. We take on six new commissions a year — no more — so every project receives the same patient attention.

We work with clients who care about how their rooms feel as much as how they look. We favor honest materials, restored pieces, custom millwork, and the slow accumulation of objects that mean something. Most of our work is in the Northeast; some of it isn't.

From the people we have worked with.

Letter № 01

They translated something I couldn't articulate into a home that feels like it has always been ours. Restrained, lived-in, and quietly extraordinary.
