At the heart of every project is collaboration: our team’s diverse perspectives combining with the client’s unique vision. We believe that when everyone’s input is valued and understood, the result is a custom interior design that is truly one-of-a-kind. By truly listening, brainstorming collectively, and blending creativity with functionality, we create personalized spaces that are both extraordinary and deeply meaningful.

Exceptional design starts with expert product knowledge, innovative material selections, and seamless project management. We stay at the forefront of interior design trends by attending trade shows, exploring new innovations, and collaborating with trusted vendors, trades, and suppliers. Our dedicated approach ensures that every renovation, remodel, or design project is guided through its challenges and completed with high-quality craftsmanship and lasting style.
-
We do the right thing, every time, because trust is the foundation of great design. As a women-led interior design firm, we approach every project with honesty, respect, and a commitment to transparency. Successful renovations and home transformations happen when we show up as our true selves—no shortcuts, no facades. By staying authentic in our work and relationships, we create spaces that feel just as genuine as the people who live in them.
-
We believe in thoughtful design that enhances daily living—because life is too short not to invest in yourself and the environment around you. A well-designed home or office environment isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about creating a space that inspires, supports, and elevates your lifestyle. Whether through home renovations, commercial interiors, interior makeovers, or custom furnishings, we help transform everyday spaces into places where you can truly thrive.
The Metric Story…
Welcome to Metric, an award winning firm, committed to growth and community bringing a wealth of years of expertise and creative thinking to hundreds of happy clients.
Tamara Bowman interior design career began in 1999. Creating spaces with clients is a passion, however, she noticed a disconnect in the industry. Her ambition to produce the best overall experience for her clients felt challenged by the products available, the running about to make selections, and the friction between suppliers, sub-trades, designers, and contractors.
When Tamara shifted to providing the role of the designer and project manager, her client’s experience changed completely, blooming the concept of Metric Design which opened in 2011. Bringing together quality materials combined with professionals makes the design-build process quicker, simpler, less stressful, and more fun. Clients enjoy the benefits of creating their dream projects alongside their design and contracting team - selecting materials, reviewing drawings, coffee in hand, and confidence in knowing their space will look and feel incredible in the end.
