In-House Design Services
Uncommon Ground offers free and facilitated design services including staging, interior design, and remodels.
Staging
Every client that lists with us gets a free staging consultation. Once our interior designer reviews your home they present you with a suggestions list. From there you get to decide what projects you will complete in your home to get it ready to get on the market. Read our short blog about why staging is important for the home selling process.
Remodel Design
Some homes need to be updated to prepare them for the selling process. For projects beyond staging like kitchen remodels, flooring upgrades, and new paint colors we have interior designers to help you through the process and get your home looking better than ever.
New Construction Design
We will help you design the interior of your new home! There are so many choices to make when designing and building. From the floor plan to the kitchen cabinets the decisions can feel overwhelming. Let our design professionals help you through the process!
BEFORE & AFTER: 315 Park Ave.
We transformed the first floor of this downtown Townhouse using our design services team! We picked light, neutral colors to lighten up the space and appeal to a broader audience. We installed a herringbone pattern carpet in the living room to finish the flooring and keep the nice wood floor. From there we brought in the furniture and art to stage the space and showcase what the space could be used for.

OUR DESIGN TEAM
ELISA POOLE
Elisa holds her degree in Interior Space Planning and Design from the University of Montana, Helena. “My passion for design goes so far beyond just a career. I gain so much joy from helping my clients create the spaces of their dreams! It’s what keeps me up at night and gets me up in the morning.”
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
I believe that design matters and is not merely a frivolous extra in the building process. It affects the way we live and work in our spaces, our productivity, peace of mind and even our mood. Truly great design stands the test of time and is what I strive to achieve in every client’s space. I see myself as a catalyst for my clients to achieve a space that is functional and a reflection of their best life. Whether it’s collaborating with contractors, being a personal shopper, managing project costs or coordinating every last detail of the design, my mission is to make your home makeover or new build as smooth and stress free as possible.

- If it isn’t fun, then we’re doing it wrong.
