After seeing her portfolio, I was a little self-conscious about my very "normal" place, but Ammie immediately made the process comfortable and collaborative. She created a clean, cohesive design plan, helped me review painting and carpeting quotes to make sure pricing was reasonable, and recommended furniture options across different budgets. Everything felt practical, thoughtful, and easy to execute. The space looks completely refreshed now. I'm very happy with the result and would absolutely recommend Ammie.

I'm so glad I found Ammie to work with on remodeling my first home! She responded so quickly when I…read morereached out for an inquiry and took the time to answer all my questions. She never pressured me while I was still considering whether to get an interior designer or not, and she was very upfront about her costs and services. She made the whole process really comfortable. When Ammie came to see the space, she had an eye for making the house a home. She immediately knew to recommend adding a kitchen island. This was something I was actually going back and forth on for a really long time, and I had so many people telling me not to do it and how it would look weird or there wouldn't be enough space in the kitchen, etc. After renovations, I'm so glad we got an island because it's functional and it really elevates the space, I love it. All her measurements and recommendations are spot on. Ammie took a lot of stress and weight off my shoulders because I knew whatever she recommended was in my best interest and aesthetic. I also asked so many questions and she was always prompt to answer. 10/10 recommend working with Ammie on your next design project. Thank you Ammie! :)

This time, Veronica helped me accessorize my home, and if I could, I would give her even more stars. She truly brought everything together in a way I couldn't have done myself. Veronica was professional, incredibly kind, and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. I especially appreciated how she stayed within my budget while still achieving such a high-end look. I'm really enjoying my home now--it feels both luxurious and comfortable. I'm beyond pleased with the results and would highly recommend Veronica and her entire team to anyone looking to elevate their space. Thank you, Veronica and the 27 Diamonds, for such outstanding service!

We've requested a whole house design with 27 Diamonds, and Sanaz took care of us very well! It was…read moreour first home, so there was plenty to be done (from changing kitchen cabinets, to complete remodel of the living room). Initially we had a consultation at the empty house to discuss the ideas my wife and I had for the each room, show her our favorite colors, what we planned on using each room, and immediately on the spot she came up with great suggestions already! We got a more elaborate design document with the proposed changes that she made, and everything was extremely helpful, from choosing decoration to the furniture quality and colors that would go well. All the process was very smooth and both Sanaz and her whole team were extremely responsive all the time, taking care of our requests with a lot of thought. Given that the house needed some renovations, she recommended a contractor that did the work perfectly (thanks, Ivan!) from Redesign Construction, and for final delivery of all furniture, everything was handled by 27 Diamonds with white glove delivery. I highly recommend Sanaz and her whole team to work on your house design. We love every single room! Thank you, Sanaz and team! :)

I talked to some contractors and came up with some idea and felt absolutely lost in the process and was ready to just settle for something "run of the mill" standard style.

Do yourself a favor and just sign up with Makkan Design, Almas and her team know how to make your style come through- Not only did i meet an excellent designer but also made a great friend!

We had a leak in our kitchen and so had we decided to redo the kitchen and redesign our living…read moreroom. Almas came to the house and asked us what exactly what we wanted to do. Honestly, we really didn't know. We had some general ideas but as we've never done a redesign of anything inside the house before we really didn't know. If you're in a similar situation, I HIGHLY recommend you contact Makkan design to get ALL the information you'll need. They were very professional and will help you through the entire process from design to completion. Every step of the way was explained thoroughly and professionally. Once we had a solid blue-print of what we wanted to do, they continued to be completely engaged and open to our fluid inputs and even to changes during the construction. If you ask them to source lighting, tables, chairs, etc, they will give you excellent options and even trials to make sure it fits the decor and what fits for our family. I cannot recommend them enough. If you are thinking of redesigning your kitchen or living room, contact them and you won't regret it. Below are some pics of before and after of our kitchen and living room.

I have hired 1st Stage for multiple properties over the years. In the past, they generally did…read moregreat work and I was impressed with their staging style, professionalism, availability, and pricing. That said, my most recent experience was disappointing. I had them stage a modern townhouse in Costa Mesa near the beach. Unfortunately, the staging style they chose did not match the aesthetic of the property at all. I am not a designer, so I typically trust their vision and let them take the lead. This time, I reached out to their team and simply asked if we could swap out a few items to make the space feel more modern or beachy. I was told I would need to pay a restocking fee. That response was frustrating. I had referred them many jobs and clients in the past, and while the fee itself was not a large amount, it felt unnecessary and left a bad impression. They did eventually waive the fee, which I appreciated, but the situation already felt mishandled. Fast forward a bit. The property did not sell, and I requested that it be de-staged. Their team came out a few days later and removed the furniture. A few months after that, they emailed both me and my client, who was the actual party to the staging contract, claiming there was a prorated balance due for a few extra days the furniture remained in the home. The amount was under $400. The contract was between my client and 1st Stage, not me, so I was confused as to why I was included. Shortly after, Mark Sutton emailed me directly asking if I could take care of the payment by the next day. I found that extremely unprofessional. Agents are the ones who bring them business, and asking me to personally pay an invoice that had nothing to do with me showed a real lack of business judgment. I expressed my disappointment with their customer service, and the only response I received was a payment link. If you are looking for a stager who truly feels like a partner and values long-term relationships, I would think twice before using this company. In my experience, once an issue arises, you are treated like just another number, and preserving relationships does not seem to be a priority.
