We worked with Edam who is wonderful. I felt like they delivered in abundance of what was promised and helped me get my project off the ground in a very organized way I will probably use them again when I'm ready for part two of my renovation! read more

IDF Studio - My IDF design packet - Interior Design Near Me - Mill Valley, California

IDF Studio and specifically our designer Blaire Schenck transformed our home in 2025. We found IDF online and liked what we saw on their web site. Their interior design work was so tasteful and made such great use of color; it really appealed to us! We contacted them and soon had an initial phone call with the founder and CEO, Kassin Adelman. Soon after, everything started unfolding nicely. I think we contacted them in May last year and the project was 98% finished just before Thanksgiving. Blaire was assigned our project and we had the best time working with her. We wanted work done on the whole interior, except the kitchen and bathrooms. She asked us a lot of questions to get to know us and she and another staff member (Callie) took measurements (tons of measurements) to be used for CAD drawings. We had a few Zoom meetings where Blaire shared initial and then more developed designs with us. We received documents to approve purchases (that they handled). We used their recommended contractor (R5, Emerson Duque) for painting and lighting upgrades, fireplace remodel, new closet doors, etc. The contractor and his team were the best we've ever worked with. Blaire's designs were amazing. So beautiful and fun and unique to us. We are big fans of music and cycling and color and art. Blaire worked these themes into our home so beautifully! Her design and use of our art and photos was spectacular. We have to mention her emails- they were wonderful. So complete and full of ideas and options and explanations. And always kind and positive (and funny!). We went into the project a little unclear as to how much we would need to spend, and also unclear as to the scope of our project. We had an initial budget in mind but wound up going over. However, what we got was so worth it. We have no qualms whatsoever about increasing our budget to get such nice work done. Lara in purchasing was also amazing to work with. Just like Blaire- always helpful and cheerful and responsive. We are extremely happy we hired IDF Studio to turn our home into a space so unique and beautiful. 100% recommend. read more

IDF Studio and Allison did an amazing design for our bedroom and bathroom remodel project. We started with a blank slate where we knew we wanted the bathroom gutted, even though our home was new construction only a decade old. The shower was a coffin, the marble dark and bleak, and everything else simply builder spec. We chose the original materials as a brand new Toll Brothers home, but we never felt comfortable or connected to the design. We asked Allison to design a space that was open and had specific design elements. Wood beams, hardwood floors to replace the tile and master closet carpet, and most importantly removing most of the wall that enclosed the master shower. Allison gave us everything we wanted and more. The master closet became hardwood floors with custom shelving, the master bath with refinished vanities, a cast-iron tub, custom lighting, amazing tile in the wet areas, and a pony wall to open up the shower. We added a steam shower to create a Napa Valley zen feel with custom chandeliers and side sconce lighting by the vanity mirrors. The design process was interactive with construction documents to ensure the GC knew exactly what to install and where. I am very pleased with the level of detail and customer focus throughout the entire project. Allison and IDF Studio are true design professionals who know how to deliver an amazing product with the customer in complete focus. They get our highest recommendation! read more

IDF Studio is elite, exact, on-point and the team you want for your well done interior design space! From the pre-engagement point all the way to the completion and post-completion stage, they were skilled, professional, personable and brought a tremendous amount of value. While I get the sense IDF shines in many scenarios, our project was for an affluent community of all ages and cultures. The tastes, interests and powerful opinions of the community had to be heard and displayed with subtlety and a truly talented and practiced eye. IDF did it! read more

After working with Blaire from IDF on renovating our company's office space, we genuinely love how the space came together and we've been extremely pleased with the results. Their great work was shown through their excellent service, creativity, and attention to detail throughout the entire project. We're very grateful for their professionalism and support throughout the whole process. Our company believes that they are truly amazing, and we would absolutely keep them in mind for future projects and recommendations. read more

We worked with Marcy from IDF Studio on remodeling our home. We are thrilled with the results. Marcy 1) listened carefully to our needs, 2) brought great idea and alternatives, 3) got to a great outcome, and 4) helped us stay within budget. Our home is 100% more beautiful and I'd highly recommend Marcy / IDF to those looking to upgrade their home. read more

Anna, Kassin, and her team are superstars! They are everything you'd want in a design team - fast, proactive, flexible, stylish, and creative. They bent over backwards for us, deigning a sliding scale of options for a tricky space with a constrained budget on a quick timeline. Would highly recommend working with IDF for any project in the future! read more

I worked with IDF Studio on a new construction home in spring of 2023 (the third house on which I've worked with them) and the process and results were amazing as usual! I found their team to be very in tune with my likes/preferences and how I use the space and my home is now SO quintessentially me. I constantly get compliments and I'm always tempted to take credit, but I don't. I'm especially excited about working with IDF on my new vacation home. Highly recommend! read more

IDF was great. We enjoyed their project-based approach where it was easy to define which parts of our house we needed the most help with and design those while keeping the cost reasonable. Our designer Edam was AWESOME - it felt like he was reading our mind. The pieces he sourced saved us so much time and were perfect read more

Every experience with IDF has been outstanding. Anna is incredibly efficient, artistic, and always mindful of our budget, delivering beautiful results without compromise. I highly recommend IDF to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and thoughtful designer. read more

We used IDF for one project which turned out well (commercial space), so decided to try them again for a residential interior design refresh. The whole experience was appallingly bad, from communication to design to pricing to basic customer service. Perhaps the design quality varies widely based on who you work with, but the customer service and pricing issues are inexcusable for the studio overall. Here is just a sample of the issues that we encountered working with IDF: - Our money was not respected. Small, generic, plastic items were selected that were $200+. I assume this was just out of laziness (e.g., buy everything from "nice" stores), but I suppose it could also have been to inflate their own percentage fees. - They never tried to understand our taste. They just surfaced something, and if we didn't like it, we had to pay for each reselect. One or two reselects should be built into the (already very high) price, and indeed is in many other design businesses. It should be expected that a client would not automatically love every single item that is proposed, especially when you don't try to understand the client's own taste first. - We initially signed on with one designer who then left IDF midway through our project. IDF did not seem to hand off any information to the new designer, including items that we had already paid for! So the new designer reselected and had us purchase items (e.g., bookends, trash bins) that we had already bought. And when we pointed this out, they did not refund us the cost of even the reselect time. - Their total fees were 2.5 - 3x higher than they had quoted, even after we significantly downscoped the project (in the end, most of the items they selected were accent pillows). We had multiple discussions with them throughout the process where we noted that we expected fees going forward not to exceed the latest estimate, which they acknowledged and agreed to, and then promptly charged higher fees. - They did not advise us about the implications of changing the color temperature for re-staining the wood floors throughout the whole house. The original color was warm, and we ended up picking up a cool color, which had a huge domino effect on many other large fixtures and furniture in the house. IDF should have called this out as a potential risk. - They did not come to style the home until many months after suggesting purchases, at which point all items were past their return date. - They selected new curtains that were too short for the windows. By the time they came to style the curtains, it was too late to return them. Having curtains that are long enough is *really* design 101, which is why I call this minor issue out specifically. Our current curtains are the appropriate length, so we just kept them, but they didn't refund us the cost of the new curtains (or apologize...). Usually I choose not leave poor yelp reviews, but this experience was so egregious that I felt it was important to warn others who might be considering them. read more

IDF Studio is truly outstanding! Look no further for a designer! Kassin Adelman helped with so many key decisions and helped us create a beautiful and integrated environment within our budget. She combines a keen eye for design and aesthetics with superb care and customer service. She is a design guardian angel. I would highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again! read more

IDF designed our 3500 sq foot office and they were great to work with, especially Pratiksha and Edam and the owner is great too. On our calls usually the first thing said was that they were "under budget and ahead of schedule." They know how to allocate time and resources and are very transparent. If something out of scope comes up they provide options you can use your resources or they can solve this too for X hours it will be projected to resolve. Eg. I had a custom furniture piece I needed made and they were able to not only source the vendor, but do all the leg work ahead to design the piece for my review, I just reviewed and approved couldn't be happier. Never have I worked with creative, talented folks who were also extremely organized and efficient. I plan to use IDF again! read more

We hired IDF to spruce up our new office space in Mill Valley. Marcy and her team were excellent to work with. Imaginative, creative, and definitely took our aesthetic to the next level. Everyone was incredibly personable and responsive. Would definitely work with them again! read more

Edam and the entire IDF team was wonderful to work with on our home project. We decorated / lightly renovated our entryway, living room, hallway, and primary bedroom. I was thrilled with their designs, communication, follow-up, friendliness and flexibility. Our home feels much more like "our" home now. Would highly recommend! read more

We are a custom fabrication company that has worked with IDF on both residential and commercial projects. Laura, Edam and the team are some of the best in their industry. Always easy to work with, extremely professional and detail oriented and leave no stone unturned. They have an in depth understanding of residential, corporate, and hospitality design, and bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to every job they work on. We value their partnership and look forward to working together on future projects! read more

Working with Kassin exceeded all of my highest expectations. She is professional, thoughtful and incredibly creative with her design process. With both of my teen boys rooms, she helped create cool, functional and personalized spaces for the boys, all within adhering to our budget. Kassin is a true magic maker and will transform your space to make your dreams come alive! read more

Very professional services. Have worked with IDF Studio on several projects and always an enjoyable experience. Highly recommend.

A very professional design outfit. Marcy was excellent and, after her onsite visit, came up with ideas, material and nuances that were very much appreciated by me. read more

I have worked with IDF Studios on commercial office as well as residential projects over the past 5+ years and they never disappoint. Kassin and her team are great designers and know how to create spaces that "wow" without breaking the bank. I highly recommend them for both office and home projects - big and small. They are professional, creative, organized, flexible, and always personable and warm. I love how the projects have turned out and will hire them again in the future for sure. read more

We have been working with Edam at IDF Studio for a few years on several projects and cannot recommend his company enough. Edam has a fresh perspective on design and is always at the forefront of innovation. There are always hiccups and bumps in the road, however every project with Edam is seamless. He is truly a pleasure to work with. read more

I was tasked with rejuvenating our SF office to get employees excited to come back post-COVID. I got connected with Kassin by our real estate partner and talked her through my project. I was on a pretty tight budget and also thought we could do some tweaking with the furniture we currently had, but knew this was out of my realm of expertise. Kassin partnered me up with Edam and Laura who met me on site to assess the office and talk through my budget and goals. They were wonderful partners, keeping it scrappy where we could, providing guidance on where I should invest, and quickly revising their design proposal when something wasn't quite right. The positive feedback we've gotten from our returning employees has been the reassurance that I made the right choice in partnering with IDF for this project. Thanks for making me look good, gang! read more

We had an excellent experience with IDF, and we have subsequently recommended them to friends, whom they have also served well. We did a medium-sized home remodel in San Francisco with IDF. Being rookies to this process, we didn't even realize until half way through our planning that we needed interior design help -- we thought our architect could do it all. But when it became clear that our architect wouldn't be able to assist with picking materials like faucets, tiles, counters, etc., we reached out to several interior designers. We found IDF to be by far the most professional of any of the firms we interviewed. Edam and his team reviewed our architect's plans and immediately suggested a better arrangement for our kitchen with different placement of a door between the kitchen and dining room than what our architect had originally designed and permitted. We very much agreed with his input. This necessitated a new set of permits from the City, but was a change well worth making. Edam provided a timeline and a budget for their services, and kept to both. The firm is far from inexpensive, but the level of service is excellent. Design proposals were professionally prepared and presented, and feedback was promptly incorporated. We appreciated Edam's decisive and forthright manner and good sense of humor. He was really a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended. read more

IDF had helped Airbnb with their amazing office space at 888 Brannan and having seen the end result there, I reached out to get their help with our new firm. Everything about the project was a success - they were detailed and forthright in their plans, adhered to our budget and schedule, inspiring with their design but also attentive to our tastes. I particularly liked that they spent a lot of time upfront trying to understand what we're all about before committing to a design direction, so it didn't feel like they were just prodding us toward what they like to do but rather adapting the plan to match our needs. I think it's worth adding that they were just a pleasure to work with. Really fun, inspiring people. Can't imagine looking elsewhere in the future! read more

Marcy and IDF Studio helped us plan a parklet space for our café. Everyone from IDF Studio was extremely professional, but also a joy to work with. Marcy was very communicative, listened to our ideas and needs, and created a design that works perfectly with our existing space. She came up with additional features that we hadn't even considered and was extremely thoughtful in her work to anticipate the needs of her business and comfort of our customers. read more

Am grateful to have found IDF many years ago. It's the only company I'll go to for design services - fair, thorough, honest and thoughtful. IDF has helped make my spaces over the years, home, and somewhere I find joy and comfort coming home to. Thank you, as always, to Kassin and her team, including Laura, the designer I worked with on my recent project. Always an enjoyable and exceptional experience. read more

We've worked with IDF for years now..one room at a time in our home and we are so thrilled with the results! Marcy was a thoughtful, creative partner and such a pleasure to work with - highly recommended! read more

I wish there were more than 5 stars to give! We worked closely with Edam and his design team to do a refresh of our restaurant and cottages. They listened to our desires and delivered a redesign that was better than anything we could have imagined! Seeing their visions come to life was such a magical experience. They held our hand every step of the way presenting options for everything from paint colors, wallpaper, window treatments, furniture to practical storage ideas and menu presentations. Overall, it was a wonderful experience :) We would love the opportunity to work with IDF again in the future! A million thanks for all your hard work and dedication Edam, Laura and team! read more

I have worked with IDF Studio for hella long (aka 7+ years) on various projects. Whether it be for Airbnb HQ or Zendesk, Jaclyn and her team are ultimately collaborative, and have delivered thoughtful design. Working on interiors projects can be a crazy environment, as any Workplace person knows. The folks at IDF Studio are professional, yet fun - a great mix for any project - which kept me laughing or serious, depending on what was going on. Design is one thing, but being able to curate a space is really one of things that put their approach over the top. It's the little things that define a space, and it takes a certain eye to do it well. IDF is among the best. read more

Kassin and her team were fantastic to work with in the renovation of our Corporate Headquarters in Sausalito. Ashley Banash took the lead and quickly laid out a variety of plans to choose from. She took our feedback and direction, providing valuable advice and we selected a plan practically the very next day. The new office has received rave reviews from staff and visitors alike. Many thanks to IDF! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Marcy Kiser at IDF. Marcy thoughtfully considered the space and managed to discern my tastes and preferences, even when I had difficulty articulating them. Marcy energetically designed and implemented the plan, and she is a perfectionist when it comes to execution. I'm grateful to Marcy and IDF for creating a space to which I'm always glad to return. read more

Homejoy worked with both Kassin and Marika from Interior Fair Design. Marika designed our new office space with a tight budget and timeline. She chose each furniture piece based on our theme, color and taste. The design of our new space definitely represented our vision and culture. She was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend IDF for your design needs because they are passionate about what they do and will deliver quality results. read more

This is only for customer service, as we have not yet had a chance to use Kassin's interior design skills for our new home (which we are in the process of purchasing). We intend on using her company once we have had a chance to settle in, so we will update the review after that time. Kassin is super nice, responsive, and helpful. She sent us some stuff to help us create a budget and was willing to work on a tight schedule if necessary. She was also very friendly and appeared to be open to working with various budget types. I called more than five different interior design companies, and I felt the most comfortable talking to Kassin. Her prices also appear very reasonable. read more

Kassin and her team did an amazing job on our home remodel design project, which included kitchen, powder room, two full baths, two bedrooms, and an office. She's proactive and incredibly responsive, and the designers were talented and great to work with. They "got" our aesthetic, listened, were open to feedback, and helped us get exactly what we wanted. Highly recommend! read more

Interior Design Fair helped add the finishing touches to our hotel, The Zen Hotel in Palo Alto, CA. Kassin met with our team and quickly grasped our concept and came with ideas and concepts of her own to enhance our theme. She presented multiple concept and design boards for us to chose from. Upon selection Kassin and her team put together a punch list of items to purchase with cost and lead-times. Kassin showed dedication and ownership of the project and upon arrival of all the amenities she made sure they were installed as she saw fit. Our team was very impressed with her keen eye for design and sensitivity to our budget. I highly recommend Interior Design Fair for your design needs. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Interior Design Fair and highly recommend them. We needed to decorate our 3 bedroom apartment for a photo shoot in less than a week and Kassin, the owner of Interior Design Fair made it happen. She was able to work with our limited budget and really transform our place in a short time. On the day when everything was installed and put into place, Kassin showed up with a team of people and they spent the afternoon putting up mirrors and wall hangings, moving furniture, ironing bedspreads, etc. Kassin cared about the final result and made sure everything was perfect before leaving. I have only the best to say about Interior Design Fair and Kassin...she has an incredible eye for design and is a real pleasure to work with. read more

We had a great experience with Jaclyn Christensen at IDF. They were very professional, always on schedule and charged fairly. I would recommend their services without reservation. read more

I have been working with Kassin for the past couple of years on various projects in our home. She did an amazing job adding warmth and whimsy to our living room, designing an incredible playroom for our kids, adding much needed photographs and art to our walls, and helping us pick out a dramatic light fixture for our dining room. Kassin is professional, detail oriented and very much attuned to her client's budget concerns. She is an excellent listener and highly skilled at providing great design options in a way that saved me plenty of time skimming through magazines and websites or visiting stores. Working with her and the rest of her time was fun, yet efficient. She has a great eye for design. We have a couple of projects coming up and I can't wait to work with her again. read more

The sunroom at my place near Sea Cliff was starting to show some wear & tear due to the combination of the sea salt air & neglect. After seeing what Kassin did to one of my associate's place at Jordan Park. I decided to have her give me a quote. Replaced the worn wooden flooring, triple pane tinted windows, bartender style sink & weather proofed all around. I'm now a happy camper. Its nice to sip my favorite beverages again in the morning watching the sunrise & the sun set as the day reaches to a closing. For the quality of work it was a reasonable. They were very neat & tidy throughout the process. Non-disturbing or loud to our surrounding neighbors. I will use IDF for all my interior needs. Thanks, IDF. read more
