 一般住宅の他、オフィス、ホテル、店舗、学校、病院などを手がけることもある。まず、設計者(建築設計技術者)とともに依頼主に会い、どのような住宅や施設を望んでいるかを確認する。住宅や施設が機能的で、依頼主のイメージや好み、ライフスタイルと合うように、室内レイアウト、内装に使う壁紙やカーテンの材質や色、設備機器・照明や家具の選択・配置などを考える。設計者と打ち合わせを重ねて、完成予想を図面やカタログ、立体モデルなどの資料を使ってビジュアル化し、提案することもある。
 依頼主に素材の写真やサンプルを見せたり、ショールームに案内して実物を見せ、依頼主や設計者と十分に相談し、詳細を決めていく。最近では、コーディネートを3DやVR(バーチャルリアリティ:仮想現実)で確認できる技術の活用も進んでいる。着工後、家具や照明などを選び、依頼主のイメージに近づくよう、建物が完成するまで細部の調整を行う。
