If you want your house to sell quickly, call them and engage their services! If you are looking to upgrade your existing property, engage their services, if you are looking to enjoy your home and entertain more, engage them and their services. We have on 3 occasions over the last 7 years and have never regretted using them. They are professional, knowledgeable, and fun to work with. We always look forward to our next visits with Sam! She is an absolute delight and has a very keen eye for her designs. We sold our house in Wake Forest in a day, following an upgrade to our kitchen. On that project she helped us with the contractors the layout design the new appliances, granite countertops, cabinets. Everything from A to Z! She and her team then followed us to Wilmington on a new purchase and performed her magic to improve the interior design and updates. We sold that house 18months later in 8 hrs from listing!!! We moved back to Wendell for our retirement home and she has helped us transform a 1977 Rancher into a modern beauty. Trust us, get rid of the stress and engage these professionals, who will inspire and amaze you with their capabilities, insight and knowledge. You can't go wrong in working with them.

My wife and I purchased a beautiful home in Lochmere (Cary, NC) that needed a complete renovation…read moreto both modernize it (it was built in 1989), and to make it our own. We knew what our style was and knew what we wanted, but we didn't know how to quite get there. We knew we needed an interior designer to help us realize our dream home, but didn't even know how they worked, what they cost nor how to find one. After vetting several "full service" designers (at full service prices), we found Jodi on Angie's List, and loved her concept of coming to our home to consult, and then letting us do the fun part of shopping and collecting what we liked. Jodi would then come back to see what we picked and then help us make the choice of what was going to work and what wasn't. Both my wife and I love working with Jodi (we're still at it!). First, Jodi's knowledge base and experience spans every room and style. We wanted traditional and she has helped us design a tea room, a piano room and even a library (and everything in between). Jodi has an excellent eye for color, and she helped us pick out over eight complementary colors for our different rooms. Jodi always arrives on time, is happy to help and is patient with me even when I'm inpatient with myself. Jodi has an extensive list of referrals which we have used to save a ton of money, time and frustration. For example, she gave us a recommendation to a bathtub refinishing person who came in and completely refinished our tub and surrounding white subway tile so that it looks brand new! That was only $650 (including removing and re-installing the shower door) and that saved us thousands. She's recommended cabinet refinishing and rebuilding people and others and they have saved us time and money and done amazing jobs for us. The other thing about Jodi's referrals is that she is constantly updating them based on their recent performance. She withdrew several referrals once her other clients had unsatisfactory experiences with them and then was able to provide us with new ones based on recent experiences with other clients. If you are looking to do any decorating and don't know where to start - or simply want a second opinion - don't hesitate to call Jodi. She's reasonable (best deal is to buy her 3-hour rate), and she has great intuition and an eye for style, and great experience for what order you should buy and furnish rooms as well. Thanks, Jodi, for everything so far - once we move it, we'll begin furnishing each room with your help!

We found The Decor Coach while searching for an interior designer in Apex. Dozens of 5 star…read morereviews caught our eye, but the coaching service and flat rate pricing on the website got us to reach out. Just one coaching session saved us hours of frustration and potentially thousands of dollars in well-intentioned mistakes... Within 3 hours we had selected a luxury vinyl plank floor, a color palate for the entire house and next steps for our kitchen and 3 bathrooms (oh, and how to bring our floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace into this century) . She gave us tips on how to properly use paint samples to verify our color choices, select light fixtures, areas rugs, and other accessories. The final thing she provided, though, is worth her consulting price just on its own: contact information for skilled craftsmen of all trades that she has worked with and trusts. She takes no commissions or kick-backs for these referrals because she wants them to be the highest quality at the best price with no bias. Jodi is professional, approachable, experienced, and passionate about helping people. She put our family first, identified our style and provided a holistic strategy for focusing our budget on the highest impact improvements. It has been an empowering experience and we will use Decor Coach at every phase of our home improvements from now on.

She has an amazing eye for color and pattern pairings for walls, rugs, and window treatments. My living room and sun room are totally transformed and look wonderful! She's very personable and easy to work with and will educate you on what works while incorporating your preferences into the final design. I'm currently working with Julie on a bathroom renovation to help me choose new tile, paint color, and window treatments. I can't wait to see the final result! I highly recommend Julie Wagner for your interior design projects.

When we first met Leslie, she was the designer for a design/build firm. She designed an extensive…read morereconfiguration of several rooms in our house to greatly improve function and livability. Luckily for us, she later returned to interior design full time and we hired her to help furnish the house after construction finished. Leslie quickly gained an excellent understanding of our style and preferences. She then made our ideas even better. She would take an overwhelming number of options, say, for a chair, and present just a few that would be 'just right' choices and explain how she made those selections. Very importantly, Leslie kept the big picture in mind for us when we might have gotten lost(!) - how we wanted to live in the rooms, and how all the different choices would work together to serve the whole design.The whole process felt very personal and collaborative. Leslie listens carefully, works hard, explains ideas and options clearly, is easy to talk with, is very experienced and extremely knowledgeable. We are delighted with the end result. Without question, we would use her again!

In speaking with Leslie, I felt that she was very condescending with regards to my project. She…read morelaughed at my budget and was at least honest that she had no interest in my project.

She lined us up with an incredible landscape architect David Swanson, and painter , Corey Smith, to help complete our projects. She was very available and was often able to meet with us for early am appointments but also came back by independently at different times of the day to check the color in dIfferent lights. She was easy to work with and quickly understood our style and vision. We are extremely pleased with how our projects turned out. Her pricing is very reasonable as well. We can't thank Barb enough for helping us realize our visions for our homes! I highly recommend her services!

Barbara Clare is an amazing colorist!! I was not quite sure what colors to choose for a room we…read morewere going to have painted, but knew it should be something special. I consider myself to be reasonably adept at color, but knew this was going to be a challenging room, and Barbara helped sort it all out. She was able to determine how the room was going to be used and based on that, come up with colors that would match the "vibe" we were going for. She knows an amazing amount about color, types of paint, and other things that help in making good choices. She was very professional and she worked hard to help us find the exact right shades (we ended up using 4 different colors in the room). More amazingly, when one of the colors ended up looking a little more fluorescent than the paint swatch when it was on the wall, so she was able to tell us what tint to add to the paint to mellow it and it worked perfectly! We are so happy with our room. Given the expense of painting a large room, it makes so much sense to use a colorist and I would strongly recommend Barbara!!

We staged our home after we moved out of it to try to give it some life when showing to potential…read morebuyers. We saw it in person several days later and came home to find their folder laying on our front porch with our personal information listed - including the code to our lockbox in big, bold letters. I didn't make a huge deal about it and they were very apologetic but still, that was very disappointing and could have been very bad for both our home and for their items! The furniture/décor we received was very traditional yet very dated. After a few months, per our request, they switched out the most dated pieces (a set of chairs) and added in a few different throw pillows. After a few more months, we just aren't getting the feedback from potential buyers we wanted. While not all of this is credited to the staging décor, we still asked if they could make updates. This time, we were said it would cost us $500 to do so. Since the current items are so outdated, its just not worth it to us to pay this amount for new staging when theres a chance we'll get the same types of items again.
