CMS Interior Design provided an amazing service for me. My mother is a retired Interior Designer so let's just say I had some ideas of how a client should be treated. ALL my expectations were exceeded and then some. Christine Stahlberg and Taylor Langos were the "Dream Team" to turn my house remodel into an updated trendy property that appeals to all while still accommodating some details I wanted to include. With the recent inflation woes and supply chain issues I was very worried about turn around times and prices for materials but CMS expertly shopped for high quality materials and used expert craftsmen to deliver superb results. You have to trust CMS with the process, vendors and materials they select because they are true pros in this business, believe me you will be happy. I highly recommend CMS and you can reach out to them for my contact info should you wish to hear more. read more

Christine was amazing to work with and I can't say enough about her and her team at CMS Interior. We did a complete tear-down and new build in Manhattan Beach and our architect referred her to us. After interviewing three interior designers, I went with Christine. Her energy, passion, and design knowledge really sold me. She honed in on my ideas and specific style and produced both hand-drawn and CAD design sketches with a range of samples of everything from paint colors, lighting fixtures, tiles, hardware, wall finishes, etc. She made the overwhelming design process very easy for me by narrowing down the materials and furnishings. She was very considerate of my budget and always provided an array of material options within my allowance to choose from. Christine provided timelines and coordinated progress meetings. She worked closely with my architect, contractor, and subcontractors every step of the way, was present at all project meetings and walk-thru's, and oversaw the installation of design elements. We've been in our home since 2017 now and every room turned out spectacular. I've received so many compliments on the attention to detail and the high-quality design. I highly recommend Christine!! I'm trying to find other projects so that I can work with her again. read more

Five stars are not enough! I found Christine online when I decided to remodel my four bathrooms.  Let me say, hiring her was the best choice I could have made.  From beginning to end, she made the entire process easy and stress free.  One of the reasons I chose her is because she acts as designer AND contractor.  I work full time so had no time to shop for tiles, vanities, faucets, etc.  Christine came to my home and brought suggestions to me and from there we chose the design together.  She ordered everything and had it delivered to my house so that I never had to go into one store.  Her entire crew was wonderful to work with, from the demolition, plumbers, electrician and tile guys.  Even when there were hiccups (because there are always hiccups), she made everything right.  I could not be happier with the final outcome and am now planning on remodeling my kitchen.  I have complete faith that when I start that project, Christine will do an outstanding job!!!! read more

I contacted Christine via her website in late February 2023 and received no response. I sent a second request and then she responded. On 3/1 I send information regarding what I would like help with. No response for 3 days so sent another email on 3/4 asking if she received my email and she responded yes and she would get back to me by 3/8.....still waiting. Very unprofessional! read more

My wife and I met with Christine about helping us redesign our kitchen. Christine came across as very friendly and we also liked how interested she was in making sure that the kitchen fit in with the rest of our house. A few days after meeting Christine emailed a full proposal that included everything we'd need to get the ball rolling on our project. The proposal included 3 parts: 1.Site survey/consultation/client interview; 2. Concept presentations; 3 Project and construction supervision; and 4. Close out visit. We were not quite ready for phases 3 &4 and asked if Christine might revise our proposal to include just the design services. While Christine was happy to remove the construction and close out portions, she was unwilling to adjust the associated fees leaving us pretty disappointed. If a kitchen proposal was modified and the price remained the same are we left to conclude that those services not provided had little if any monetary value? Or, maybe there is just very little flexibility in what Christine offers. read more

My wife and I worked with Christine on a large, home renovation project. Christine and CMS Interior Design were amazing to work with! We couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of our project and our extremely positive experience with Christine and her team. Shortly after meeting Christine, we immediately felt a connection and knew that we could work with her and that she could do the job. After attentively listening to my wife and me, asking questions, and surveying our interests, wants and needs, Christine quickly determined a design style that both my wife and I would be happy with and that would meet our functional needs. Christine helped us make many difficult decisions over many months. She met us at our home for working meetings on many occasions. We wanted to ensure we had sufficient storage, flow, a better functioning kitchen and a home theater area, in addition to meeting my wife's and my differing design styles and preferences, with focus on ensuring our home's functionality for us and our young daughter. My wife and I started off worlds apart, but Christine quickly bridged the gap, paving the way for a fairly smooth and unimpeded redesign process. Amazingly, Christine was able to find a design style that satisfied both of us! She helped us select paint colors, furnishings (including sizing and placement), flooring, window treatments, artwork, fireplace, door and cabinet hardware, mirrors and material for the bench seating. She helped us design a new kitchen pantry and bench seating to go with the existing kitchen cabinets and layout, in addition to helping us layout new ceiling fans, recessed lighting, a chandelier, pendant lights, and all of the finishing touches such as area rugs, flowers, and accessories. She met us at furniture stores and home goods stores to help us select items. She brought along samples of what we had selected to ensure everything would work well together. We worked with Christine for well over one year, and we can't say enough good things about her. She was always responsive and communicative--an imperative when undertaking what we did. She made a stressful and challenging process as easy as humanly possible. She has a wonderful personality and a genuine passion for her work, and it was clear that this was more than a job for her. She found this challenging, rewarding and fun. She was budget and schedule conscious and flexible with our schedules. Christine is an amazing interior designer and a highly competent, experienced and flexible person to work with. She is the consummate professional. There is absolutely no way my wife and I could have done it without her, and we are so glad we enlisted her services. Working with Christine paid for itself many times over. In the final analysis, it's really a small investment given the difficulty and importance of such a project. Quite simply, Christine knows how to work with people and how to design. I would highly recommend Christine and CMS Interior Design. read more

A wonderful experience from start to finish! I needed everything from furniture to wallpaper to interior and exterior paint and I couldn't have pulled it all together so beautifully without Christine's hard work.

I felt like I had a partner through the entire process and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results! I will happily use her on projects in the future and suggest you do as well. read more

Working with Christine was a fun and professional experience! I worked with her to remodel our living area including the floors and the entire kitchen. I had some vague ideas of what I wanted and Christine knew exactly what I would like while easily finding options that I loved! Her contractors and team at CMS were professional and did excellent work. If anyone was ever late or had questions, she was always around to immediately remedy the situation. Christine never forced her designs / styles on me but I always looked to her for suggestions and of course, I wanted to follow along. Christine acted like a partner in the process, never leaving me out of decisions but guiding me along the way. I am more than pleased with the results of her efforts! She pays close attention to little details as much as the major decisions. It was a pleasure working with Christine from start to finish! read more

Let me tell you why I FEEL FABULOUS about choosing CMS: Of all the interior designers to choose from; I am well pleased with my choice of CMS Interior Designs. Christine was timely, present; she acted with integrity, and personal care. Christine catered to my style, and likings. Christine was completely upfront, and honest with me throughout the entire process. At first, I was concerned about the bid she sent to me via email. After a quick phone call my concerns were addressed, and we were able to negotiate a business partnership that met both our needs. Christine kept in contact with me throughout the process. Christine was proactive about letting me know when something was on back order, as well as if prices had changed, and what other options still met my needs. At the end, when I saw the results I found myself pleasantly surprised. Christine had gone above, and beyond. Although I knew I wanted something simple, and fabulous at the same time, I did not know how to do it on my own. The final result was simple, yet chic, and I felt fabulous about choosing Christine, and not anyone else. read more
