Interior & Exterior Refresh Portfolio

MFID partners with clients to elevate existing properties, both interior and exterior, helping them compete with newer developments and attract today’s renters. Whether it’s a simple furniture update, exterior enhancements, or a full visual transformation, we approach every project with thoughtful, detail-driven design solutions tailored to the property’s needs and budget. Our refresh services are designed to make a meaningful impact, no matter the scale.

Location: Mercer Island, WA

Description: We began this project with a full transformation of the Club Room, reimagining the space to include co-working areas, private work pods, and a more clearly defined club room. A new conference room and podcast studio were also added to support resident productivity and creativity. Beyond the interiors, we refreshed the corridors and gave the exterior a modern facelift with updated paint colors, stylish new outdoor furniture, and an elevated new vibe for the spa area.

Oxbow 49

Location: Portland, OR

Description: After acquiring this property, our client brought us on to elevate the overall aesthetic and help the property stand out in a competitive market. We transformed the corridors, lobby, model unit, and exterior amenities to create a more refined, cohesive experience—bringing the property up to a higher level of design and appeal.

2900 on First

Location: Seattle, WA

Description: Located in downtown Seattle, this property lacked a defined leasing office. MFID was brought in to redesign the ground floor, creating a dedicated leasing space while also updating the club room and outdoor terrace to enhance functionality and resident experience.

Location: Seattle, WA

Description: Originally designed with a strong industrial aesthetic, MFID was engaged by the new owners to soften the spaces and enhance functionality. Through updated finishes, curated furniture, and thoughtfully selected art, we created a fresh, inviting atmosphere that better serves the residents’ lifestyle and the client’s vision for the property.

Alley SLU

Modern hotel lobby with leather sofas, purple armchairs, and pink ottomans. Large glass windows reveal a street view with trees and parked cars. A wooden shelving unit with books and decor separates the seating from the entrance. A circular chandelier hangs from the ceiling.

Location: Seattle, WA

Description: When the new owner purchased this 40-story high-rise apartment building, the lobby was essentially an unfinished shell originally designed as an event space. They brought MFID in to add warmth, depth, and a high-end, inviting atmosphere. Since then, we’ve also refreshed the corridors and rooftop terrace, creating a cohesive, modern look that reflects the owner’s vision across all shared spaces.
