Function comes first. Beauty follows.
At Ellaire, thoughtful space planning and practical decision-making are at the heart of every remodel. A remodel isn’t successful simply because it’s beautiful — it’s successful when it improves function and flow, working quietly and intuitively every single day.
Ellaire provides thoughtful space planning and carefully selected hard surfaces designed for the architecture, climate, and everyday realities of mountain living in Northern California homes
Your Design Journey Starts Here
Step 01
Introductory Call
The first step is to make sure I’m the right kitchen & bath designer for your project. During this 30-minute complimentary call, we’ll make sure your project goals and my remodel design process are a good match. If it feels like we’d work well together, we can schedule an in-person Remodel Strategy Session.

Remodel Strategy Session
Every successful kitchen or bath remodel starts with a well-thought-out plan. In this 90-minute strategy session, we’ll review your goals, style preferences, and wish list. We’ll also explore layout possibilities, evaluate existing conditions, and clarify your scope of work. At the end, you’ll receive a clear, organized guide - a roadmap to move forward with confidence.

Design With Confidence
After your Remodel Strategy Session, you can continue with one of our design services: an Architectural Plan Review (for new construction), Concept Development, or Full-Service Design - each tailored to your particular project and goals. Each service provides guidance and design direction to help bring your vision to life. See my Services Page for more information.
Flat Fee, Based on Scope
Hi, I’m Tammy Battistessa, owner and principal designer of Ellaire Kitchen and Bath Design.
Is your Lake Tahoe or Sacramento-area home past its prime, filled with dark finishes, awkward layouts, or oversized rooms that look impressive on paper but don’t feel good to live in? I help homeowners transform these spaces into homes that function beautifully and feel effortless to live in.
As a Certified Kitchen and Bath Designer, and expert in kitchen and bath design and whole-home remodels, I guide Northern California homeowners through smart space-planning and hard-surface decisions, helping them avoid costly design mistakes while creating layouts that genuinely improve how their homes function.
My approach is simple: function comes first. Every layout, material, and lighting decision is rooted in how you actually live, then refined to lighten, modernize, and elevate the space.
If you’re planning a remodel in Lake Tahoe, Truckee, or the greater Sacramento area, I’d be honored to help you design a home you’ll love, without the regrets.
