Natasha and the Inspired Spaces crew were incredible to work with. I came to Natasha pretty broken and feeling really burned by a bad contractor who turned our simple project into an entire home rebuild. I knew I was way out of my element since I've never built a home from the ground up (and never wanted to, if we're being honest) and I knew I needed professional help. Natasha and the team helped me not only to design my dream home, but to enjoy the process too. They were able to take my vision and give me the tools to bring it to life. They were able to offer reassurance that everything would work out. Natasha and her crew offer so much insight and have deep knowledge of the entire process which was really valuable for me when I questioned what I was hearing from our new contractor. I can not recommend Natasha and Inspired Spaces enough for any project. They have the skills, the local connections, the design eye and they also have heart. They care a lot about their clients and it shows in every aspect of how they show up. read more

We recommend Natasha Stocker and Inspired Spaces wholeheartedly and with absolute confidence. Her keen eye for detail, upbeat attitude, and collaborative abilities make her a rock star. But her ability to listen and distill our swirling, incoherent ideas into something truly beautiful makes her a superstar. We have a 70's ranch house set down in the woods. The house is about 40 years old, we have been in it for 25 years, and had it had never received much attention. It was always too dark and closed off. There was a funky West County hallway that was also two bathrooms. We loved raising our children here, but now we were ready to open it up to the redwood trees and sunshine outside. We had a contractor who was really good with the structure, but we had no idea how to put the rooms together. Within moments of meeting Natasha we felt 100 percent comfortable. She never once sold herself to us, or tried to move us in a direction we were uncomfortable with. Instead, she urged us to shop where we were comfortable, find deals on Craigslist, and repurpose existing furniture. She delighted in our finds, encouraged us at every turn, and turned every one of our perplexed meanderings into an encouraging way forward. From the first painted color brushed onto the first new wall, everything Natasha picked was stunning. We spent months in disbelief as each color and recommendation made its way from proposal to reality. In the world of construction, we found out that things don't happen all at once. Sometimes it would take weeks for all the colors and elements of Natasha's design in a room or space to come together, and every time we were giddy with satisfaction. Our beautiful house literally brings tears to our eyes. We feel so grateful that we met Natasha and that she gave us this incredible space. This was our first project and we are spoiled now. Natasha took our every thought and turned our home into something that is both uniquely our own creation, and, impossibly beyond anything we could have managed on our own. Oh yeah, and her staff is courteous, responsive, kind and warm and talented in their own right. Thank you, Natasha! Thank you Inspired Spaces. read more

I truly am happy to see a woman-owned company with so many positive reviews, but this just wasn't our experience at all. We started the project by letting her know that it was a new construction house that we bought for the purpose of renting and using personally and that we wanted to get the project rolling as quickly as possible. This didn't happen at all, and revisions to mood boards took even longer - several weeks. As I increasingly felt I wasn't being heard, I took over more and more of the project, which did create more confusion and disorganization. I take my share of blame for this; however, in many cases I wound up ordering merchandise that didn't even work in the house despite me stating several times that I needed them to check if items would indeed work since we were managing the project remotely. This cost us hundreds of dollars in return shipping and merchandise that they said they would return and never did. In many emails over several months, I outlined both my frustration and expectations, and felt that little changed. Each time Natasha expressed surprise that I was unhappy. Time lapses in communication remained an issue. Many months were passing with little progress and the project seemed stalled, ultimately losing us several months of income. What really bothered me was that the contractors she sourced completely botched a few jobs. A wallpaper hanger rendered several hundred dollars worth of wallpaper useless, which Natasha did reimburse us for. A second wallpaperer hung a different expensive paper in a way that is visibly unaligned, and despite many emails requesting her have this fixed, it never was - nor were we given any monetary credit. She told me he was Swiss (I think) trained, as if that makes any difference if the paper is hung wrong. I followed up on this over the course of many months, but she continually punted and it was never resolved. In another room, wallpaper wasn't properly trimmed around doorways and so on. All in all, Natasha seems like she is a very nice woman, as are the women who work for her, but the lack of attention to detail, slow response, inability to finish the project in a timely fashion, and unwillingness to fix clear problems makes me unable to recommend her or her group to anyone. read more

Natasha and Andrea came to my new home today and within a few hours helped me turn my blank space into an INSPIRED SPACE! Thank you Natasha and team for all of your fantastic ideas, creative input, and fine design touches without breaking my wallet. I love how you incorporated my wonderful already existing collection of tapestries, along with giving me some new ideas for furniture, colors, accents, etc. Your attention to placement and tying in the whole house while still giving each room its unique flavor was also amazing. I love your keen eye and touch, and that I felt heard with my ideas. It was a true collaboration. Thank you for everything and I would definitely refer you to anyone who is seeking ANY kind of design, be it space or event. You are the best! read more

I selected Natasha Stocker to redesign our master suite which included bedroom update and a bathroom remodel. I couldn't have been happier with both the process and the end result. Natasha is very creative, has a wonderful sense of design, is the nicest person and is so easy to work with. She is big on ideas that achieve a beautiful space without breaking the bank. Natasha is not a designer who asks for your input and then creates her own vision; she is totally collaborative in achieving an end result that reflects your vision and feels good to you. Throughout the project, she was reliably on time and on schedule with drawings, appointments and deadlines. Our contractor found her very professional and their exchange of ideas resulted in an excellent job and an excellent experience for both. I highly recommend Natasha for your design needs, large or small. read more

Natasha and her team designed my office and I love it! My clients always compliment on how beautiful the space is and say they just want to stay all day. Her use of color, texture, and pattern is spot on! If you haven't been by to see the Design House, I highly recommend stopping in. There's a cute little shop where you can pick up some very unique decor too. read more

Natasha with Inspired Spaces Design helped me remodel an unused room in my home into a fabulous, colorful art room for me and my seven-year-old son with just a magazine picture as inspiration! She was kind, professional and offered several ideas after listening to what we wanted ... I appreciate that her ideas had great variety and could fit every level of the budget. Natasha does a great job of really listening and also offering suggestions to take things to a whole new and more amazing level! I'm THRILLED with the result of the art room! It is gorgeous and completely functional. I get compliments all the time on the design and layout of it, as well as the great use of space and color. I will definitely use Inspired Spaces Design again in the future. Thank you! read more

Not just like. LOVE, LOVE ,LOVE!!!! Natasha completely transformed my kitchen, living room, family room...well the entire downstairs really, and I can't wait to do more. She somehow made a miracle, and created space where I thought we had none. My kitchen is so beautiful and looks at least twice as big, though we added no square footage. She truly has "the gift". A joy to work with, she is both professional and warm. She really knows how to stretch your remodeling dollar as well. We can't imagine accomplishing what we have without her. We have plans for her to help us make our upstairs as beautiful as our downstairs and then she will tackle our backyard. Most highly recommend. read more
