She is a pleasure to work with, she has a great eye and is professional and fun to work with. She made the whole process so much less stressful because I wasn't second guessing myself. I have continued to hire her for various projects and I couldn't imagine making these decisions without her. I highly recommend her services.

Then I found Victoria. Victoria is extremely diligent in exceeding her clients expectations, punctuality, and follow through. It's clear she's running a business that she holds close to her heart. I look forward to continue to partner with Victoria so I can offer my own clients a recommendation to another service provider who's number one goal is to go above and beyond for each unique project she encounters.

I hired Kathy Sturr of Inside Out Designs to help us transition our son's room from the youthful…read morePottery Barn style he had outgrown and move him to a practical yet tasteful room befitting a high school-er as well as possibly college and beyond. At first, it seemed like a pretty straight forward project but as we got into we realized there were many challenging and potentially conflicting interests. There was the 'look n feel' and quality that we wanted to be consistent with our home; would he take these items with him to college and/or beyond or do we keep a 'guest room' in mind should he not take it with him; and our developed sense of style vs. his burgeoning and changing style. Accomplishing our son's design and décor preferences within our budget and taking short term and long term plans for the room into consideration could have been a frustration at best and a battleground at worst. Lastly, given the new school year was approaching and his room was a central place for homework, it was important the project get implemented quickly. Kathy was phenomenal at finding sources, styles, and solutions that fulfilled multiple criteria and with surprisingly nominal compromise. All of us felt our opinions and desires were heard and listened to. The scope of project: we went from twin to queen bed, his small desk evolved into a workstation and we added more space efficient bookcase all in a coordinated (versus matchy matchy) sophisticated and gently distressed 'shaker' styling. We added more sophisticated bedding and window treatments and Kathy helped us re-frame and reposition artwork so it was cohesive and impactful instead of its former scattered and disparate look. We now have a room that gives him a warm, inviting, mature look, is practical and supports his school needs and is classic enough to endure through college and beyond. And should he outgrow the look as he grows older, we have a beautiful guest room that resonates with the style or our home. Kathy was a pleasure to work with, attentive to every detail, and brought an eye for quality balanced by budget and needs. She easily managed different personalities and criteria, and kept the project on time and on budget. She was also able to blend custom with ready-made, online and retail store to help us get the most value for our money, manage our time effectively and allow us to be 'hands on' where seeing the quality first hand was important. We loved working with her and highly recommend her!

I was putting a team together that was going to redo an outdated 1,014 sq foot 2 bed 2 bath condo in South Austin that I was in the process of purchasing while still living in Michigan. I needed someone who I could trust that could handle the job of researching, presenting and ultimately recommending all the pieces and parts to guts this place and start over.. this included color schemes, tile, carpet, hard wood, bedding, couches, floor layout, furniture, cabinetry, lighting, media cabinet design and even home decorations. Eliana hit the streets and canvassed Lowe's, Home Depot and other physical storefronts as well as multiple internet retailers to provide options with pictures and suggestions for each and every item on the list, all while keeping my budget in mind. She laid out an attack plan and together we proceeded step by step until the list was done. This made my life much, much easier! It's plain and simple...I could never have gotten this place, I now call home and get tons of compliments on, to where it is without her. The icing on the cake is that she was a joy to work with, very patient, genuine, experienced, talented and a truly good person, wife, mother and friend. She will be an asset to you and I highly recommend her. THANK YOU ENVISION INTERIORS!!

From the start, she is a professional at follow-up, doing what she says she is going to do, and availability via phone, text, or email. At one point, after the painter had started, I wanted to add another color to one of our living room walls. I called Eliana and she immediately gave me three wonderful color options to choose from. I had never worked with a designer before and wanted to hire someone who was creative, yet would respect my aesthetic. Eliana was a great fit for me, because she is very artistic, yet respectful of my style. She had so many great suggestions, and the occasional idea that I did not agree with was no problem for her. She moved right on with another great idea! No way could I pick out the paint colors that she did! The colors work together so well, and complement our furniture and wall coverings. Eliana very carefully paired the paint colors with our current furnishings. I often appreciated her respect for our budget by working with what we have whenever possible. After our meetings, she sent me "to-do lists", detailing what we had talked about doing for the house, along with suggestions about where to shop for future purchases. I have referred to these lists many times to help stay on track. Our home is coming along beautifully, thanks to Eliana. In the Spring, we hope to paint the exterior, plus do some other outdoor updates, and I look forward to working with Eliana again!

If you're wondering if you should seek the help of an interior designer, the answer is a resounding…read moreyes! Working with Rosanna has proven to be the best decision we've made for our new home! We have never worked with a professional home designer before, so we were a little nervous about the whole process. But from the very beginning, Rosanna had a vision. She was highly organized and focused. She not only helped us transform our new house into a home, one that is comfortable, elegant, and cohesive, but she saved us a lot of time, energy and money. Her plan was laid out in a clear fashion. She walked us through everything from furnishing, paint color, wallpaper patterns, lighting to windows treatments. She gave us the right number of choices to pick from when sourcing so as not to be overwhelming, but also so that our home feels like our own, not someone else's. We cannot recommend Rosanna and Eggshell Home enough! Rosanna was very personable and easy to work with. We look forward to working with her again as our little girl is now ready for a big girl's room.

Never having decorated before, I was a little unsure where to start but had some ideas and some mixed feelings about my personal style. Upon our first consultation, Rosanna helped talk me through my style opinions, assuring me there were ways to mix and match. In our second meeting, we went through options for furniture I had picked out and through all of my hesitations. It felt great having her guide me through the process and give me helpful little tips about things along the way. In the end, I still felt like I had put my own personality into the space and worked hard at it - but that I had a great resource to help me do it! Really recommend Rosanna to anyone looking to do their space!

It can be hard to find a designer that can produce both a beautiful kitchen, but is also collaborative with both your functional needs and the contractors who are executing the design. Cindy excelled at all three, and the result is a kitchen that's been a huge functional upgrade for our family and the source of many compliments on the aesthetic of our home. Maximizing every inch of space requires close coordination with cabinet makers and contractors, which Cindy did on our behalf. She didn't just produce a design, she made sure that the final product was well designed, through all the hiccups and changes that come with a remodel. We'd highly recommend Cindy for any design project, particularly ones where you need to balance both function and aesthetic.

I met Pam, and on the spot, knew she was the right person to work with. Pam asked all the right questions and listened to what we wanted in our dream home. She completely understood our vision, thought of every little detail, and didn't overlook any aspect of the project that we felt was important. The level of detail and thoroughness when it came to how the spaces were designed really showed Pam and Erwin's level of expertise. Pam and Erwin had our dreams, vision, and best interest in mind. From the initial space planning for the kitchen and master bathroom, the layout of slabs, tile and cabinetry, selection of all the finish materials, colors, fixtures and hardware, they were very professional to work with. Details matter to us, and their attention to detail is apparent in our finished home. They referred excellent vendors and suggested the best, high end and quality finishes and materials. Most importantly, Pam and Erwin's work ethics are unbeatable, and they made sure we got everything we wanted on our checklist. From start to finish, the design process went smoothly, and the meetings and discussions were fun and productive. We gave them the creative freedom and trusted their design process and vision and our kitchen and bathroom remodel designs are masterpieces. We were so pleased with the quality of their work that we asked for Pam's help to furnish our house. Every room was beautifully designed with an understated sense of elegance and in tune with the architecture and surroundings. Pam's sense of style and her vision has positively impacted our quality of life as we enjoy her work every day. We are very grateful that we were able to work with Pam and Erwin. Our house would have not been the same without their creativity and vision.

She insisted on working with her 'team'. Mind you this is a former Google employee who has no formal training in design and fewer interpersonal skills. I've had better service at the USPS than with UD. In her response below she attempts to imply UD turned me down. The reality is she forced the issue of working with her contractor. Duh, who is footing the bill here Pamela? My contractor recommended the architect who recommended UD; and you attempt to commandeer the entire process by forcing the removal of the client's contractor? Recommendation: Avoid. Highly inflexible, domineering owner.

Majo and Hellen guided us every step of the way, helping us shape our Modern Spanish aesthetic while creating a detailed design plan for our contractor. With both of us working full-time, their expertise saved us countless hours and headaches. One of the biggest renovation challenges is dealing with overwhelming choices. Design Loft curated a few perfect options for everything--paint colors, light fixtures, cabinets, tiles--allowing us to make decisions efficiently while staying true to our vision. Their value went far beyond aesthetics. They caught several contractor mistakes that could have caused major issues and connected us to great vendors that helped us find the best deals. Here's something important: without a skilled designer, contractors often take the easiest route rather than creating the high-end look you're envisioning. At times we questioned our choices, but trust the process! Everything came together beautifully, and we couldn't be happier with the result. If you're planning a renovation, working with Design Loft is a no-brainer. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to create designs perfectly tailored to your taste make them invaluable. Highly recommend Majo, Hellen, and the entire team!

My wife and I really liked her and felt like she would be a great fit to take on our project. Oh and they also helped me do all the permitting with the city which helped me A LOT! That is something that was unique to Design Loft. Helen and Majo walked us through the whole process and built a room and generated a 3D layout and it was awesome! So cool to see it go from a design to reality! I would totally recommend Design Loft to anyone looking to design something special! Let them make your vision even better and transform it to reality.
