Interior Designer — Sage Interiors + Design Full-Time | Tacoma, WA
Join Our Award-Winning Team
At Sage Interiors + Design, we believe home is where the heart is. We're a boutique, full-service interior design firm — handling everything from whole-home furnishing, decorating and space planning to kitchen and bath design, guiding clients from initial concept through final installation across the South Sound and beyond.
We've grown almost entirely through client referrals, and our pipeline is wonderfully full — which means we're growing our team. We're also about to launch a new website with a curated portfolio of our work, and we'd love to walk you through it during your interview.
Maybe you've built your career in kitchen and bath and are ready to branch out into the softer, textural world of furnishings and decor. Maybe you've loved working in FFE and are ready to lean further into kitchen and bath design. Or maybe you already move comfortably across full-service design — all the better! We're a small team, and we work together based on our strengths, experience, and what each project calls for. We're looking for the right designer to flow within that dynamic.
If you're a creative, detail-oriented designer with a passion for one-of-a-kind homes, we'd love to meet you.

Key Responsibilities
- Meet with clients — in-home, at our Heritage Gallery, or via Zoom — to understand their design needs, sensibilities, and budget
- Visit project sites to take measurements and to better understand the existing and needed elements of each project
- Create floor plans in AutoCAD, either from blueprints or from your own measurements
- Design or collaborate with other designers and clients to create residential kitchens and bathrooms — sourcing tile, flooring, countertops, as well as all the other details that make each space as unique as our clients
