About

With a background in painting and conceptual art, Brian Paquette brings a singular point of view to the interior design scene. Rather than following a particular style, he draws inspiration from a variety of sources: architecture, travel, and the natural world. For Brian, interior design is not something sterile or static; it’s a living extension of art, meant to be touched, used and admired. That mindset is at the heart of Brian Paquette Interiors.

​

Seattle based, Brian has completed projects all over the United States and Canada. He has been featured in several publications such as Architectural Digest, Luxe Magazine, Dwell Magazine, Domaine Home and Sunset Magazine, amongst others.

Client Testimonials

"Brian is fantastic. His advice was so actionable and authentic to me. He worked with what I had and gave me easy fixes and ideas where I can invest to really elevate our space. He also saved us money by steering us away from some ill-conceived work we were considering that in the end would not be in harmony with the rest of the house. Thank you!"

"Deeply enjoyed the chance to collaborate with Brian. He was lovely to chat with and insightful on how to bring balance to the space. He was prepared with spot-on suggestions for our home at realistic price points. I feel well prepared to finish our space in a way we will love for years to come after the consultation. He confirmed some of my instincts and gently dissuaded me from a couple ideas by walking me through how they might make the space feel disjointed."

"My partner and I actually discovered Brian via The Expert... his portfolio and style fitted our vision perfectly and his advice was invaluable. He was patient, kind, super helpful, and we came away from the consultation having a clear idea (finally) on some checklist items we desperately needed advice on, including window treatments, rugs, and more. Will book again!"

"Our consult was amazing! Brian is so knowledgeable on all things interiors, shop ownership, and the design industry. He gave us excellent advice for our fledgling interiors shop and shared wisdom that saw him through his career to date. Resources, tips, processes, workflows, client vetting... we covered it all! Thank you so much, Brian!!"

"We couldn't be happier with our consultation with Brian. He was well prepared and gave us invaluable advice for ways to incorporate our existing furniture and art in a cohesive manner throughout our new home. He had practical ideas for new elements, working with color, layering lighting and tricks of the trade to pull a room together with art placement, draperies, rug sizes, etc. He was also good about how to design with young kids in mind. I only wish we would have done it sooner! "

"I was a little skeptical about a virtual design session, but my hour with Brian was amazing! He is so incredibly knowledgeable and informative (and friendly!). He was able to quickly identify, articulate, and solve problems that have been stumping me. And now I feel like I have so many more tools at my disposal now. Even though it isn't an insignificant cost, it was 100% worth it and I highly recommend Brian. "

"Truly such a great use of an hour -- wasted no time in getting right to the heart of the matter. Brian was quick to identify areas I had never even thought of and saved me from making wrong furniture purchases (sizing and shape). Exceeded my expectations tenfold. I was hesitant to try this service (did not want to embarrass myself or waste my money) but after the consult I felt completely equipped to make design decisions. An added bonus: Brian is down-to-earth, not pretentious at all. A++"

"We were enormously pleased with our appointment with Brian Paquette. Our goal was to re-design a living room that we are not happy with. I had sent Brian a floor plan and some photos, and he had prepared a new design for the living room. He also suggested paint colors, suggested ways to deal with problem windows, and had links to help us choose furniture. Even though Brian is now in L.A., we connected as New Englanders - we are in Maine, and he knew how to deal with a Maine home. It was great!"

"Brian was wonderful! He came super prepared for our meeting with links and recommendations for our home. I found it helpful to upload a deck with pictures and questions in advance. Brian reviewed before our meeting so we could hit the ground running. I cannot believe how much we covered. He helped with layout and furniture selection - introducing me to new places to look for furniture and narrowing down options. The platform totally exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Brian! "

"I can't get over how great my consult with Brian was. He was so kind, prepared, and insightful, tying in all the little elements of my home that he noticed into his recommendations. He worked well with my budget and gave me so many options for what I was looking for (many stores I've never heard of!). He even explained some of his design philosophies that I'll be applying to other rooms. If you're thinking about booking with him, do it, it was the best hour EVER and gave me so much clarity!"

"I met with Brian to discuss my own design firm and seek his guidance. He is an incredibly honest and empathetic human - I still can't believe how humble and kind he is for someone so well-known and successful. He was generous with his time and knowledge, sharing a tremendous amount of wisdom and realistic direction in such a short period of time. This was truly an invaluable experience. It's hard to put into words just how transformative this was for me on both a personal and professional level."

"I debated booking a session for too long! It was worth every penny in the mistakes I saved myself from making and now I have peace of mind. We are working with a long living room and something about the furniture layout is not feeling right. Brian drew up a couple of scenarios and we discussed the rug and placement of furniture, he even suggested a few places to look for items. I'm really glad I did this. Thanks Brian!!"

"I was pretty blown away by the consultation. I didn’t know what to expect and had low expectations for what could be accomplished in 55 minutes. He rethought floor plan (going with his recommendation), picked kitchen hardware, confirmed paint colors, suggested furniture that we like. It would have taken my designer 10+ hours to do this, so it was actually a value! Highly recommend!"

"Brian Paquette always nails it! His cheerful demeanor and spot on suggestions and design expertise always sets me on the right path. This was my second experience with him and I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again. He helped me fix a bedroom I had worked on myself for years and could never get quite right. In one hour I knew exactly what to do, and the result was perfect. It’s now my favorite room and everyone comments on how beautiful, cozy and well put together it is. Brian is truly a gem."
