Many thanks to the Talianko Design Group for a beautiful living room/dining room and master bathroom redo! My desire for a southwest/spa-like look was more than I could imagine, but Debbie and her staff, after spending up front time talking to me, showing me various images and and getting to know me, came up with a perfect design that included unique pieces created just for me. I appreciated that at the beginning Debbie was very clear about the cost and time for the project's completion and how all aspects of the project were well detailed and itemized. Also, I always had the opportunity to approve all the design aspects before they were implemented - so there were never any surprises or disappointments along the way. Since I also had to interact closely with the contractor, I was glad that Debbie provided me with the names of three contractors that I had an opportunity to interview and make the final selection. Finally and most importantly, Debbie and her staff are very knowledgeable and experienced, and they are always readily available and accommodating. Also important to me is that Debbie is so personable, and that she and her staff are wonderful to work with. I am so happy with my home's new look, and I will definitely call the Talianko Design Group for any future remodeling projects. read more

Debbie is a professional in every sense of the word and clearly has a great eye for design. We are currently working on a remodel of our kitchen, living room, dining room, master bedroom and bath. She is assisting us with all of the aesthetics of our remodel: furniture, fabrics, window treatments, tile, flooring, paint etc. Debbie and her staff have been an absolute delight to work with. She is helping us figure out the look we want and has been very patient throughout the process. She helped us establish a budget and has done an incredible job providing us with truly beautiful options within our parameters. Debbie is working very hard to help us achieve our goal; to have the home of our dreams. Our remodel is still a work in progress and I am certain that the end result will be absolutely beautiful as the result of Debbie's professional guidance and assistance. read more

I am a third generation Pasadena area builder licensed since 1984. My grandfather and father were both notable Architects here dating to 1922. While we have never collaborated on work together I have known Debbie Talianko and her husband for well over 18 years and when my wife and I were ready to remodel our master bath there was no question as to who was to be engaged for the new design. Debbie is the rare individual in her field who does not rely on a thematic scheme. She creates a fresh and new concept for each client and their environs while lending consideration to continuity and harmony of the overall style of a homes design. She has cultivated and refined relationships with suppliers and the many trades that conduct the work and takes ownership of the project and is always vigilant in her clients best interest. read more

I needed help with the direction of my family room remodel. I made an appointment with Debbie of Talianko Design Group after admiring pictures of her work on Houzz. She made time for me right away because there were decisions that needed to be made quickly. We had a very productive meeting where she helped me both with answers to my own questions about paint color and furnishings as well as with great additional ideas for things that I hadn't even thought of. Debbie took the burden of decision making off of my shoulders in that hour consultation. It was such a help to me as well as being fun to visualize the room with someone who listened so well to my hopes for the space and could bring it into focus. I will definitely be working with Debbie to put the finishing touches on our new family room. read more

I desperately needed advice on paint colors, rugs, curtains, lamps, and current trends, not to mention how to fix room designs that weren't working. I loved Debbie's style on her website, but was hesitant to call, because I'm a DIY person on a strict budget, and her designs looked out of my price range. But I went ahead and hired her for a 2.5 hour consultation, and she immediately put me at ease. She gave me so many great ideas, tips, and links to online products in my price range, not to mention better ways to arrange my furniture so the rooms would look cooler. She is incredibly knowledgeable and was just fantastic to work with. I'm so glad I found her. read more

It's the last day of the Labor Day weekend and we have now enjoyed our new family room interior for 3 days. Janice and I are very pleased with your design and with your follow through on the project installation. We especially want to comment favorably on the design presentation in your studio... very professional and you made us feel very valued as clients. A special "shout out" too for the very attractive and utilitarian rug. It both sets off and compliments the furniture grouping. Lastly, thank you so much Debbie and Ken for hanging our framed art. It left to us this would have taken forever to get done. Again, many thanks for your excellent work. read more

I first hired Debbie in 2005. After all these years, visitors to my home still comment on how the powder room Debbie designed is one of the most beautiful they have seen. Recently I hired her to help with my kitchen remodel. She still possesses all the same positive qualities that keep me coming back. Debbie has a wonderful ability to match and recommend colors. She is a great listener and is able to translate my ideas into a fresh, yet timeless design. She is very knowledgeable about all aspects of the process from picking the lighting to sourcing the hardware. She is also mindful of the budget. In short, she is a pleasure to work with. read more

My wife and I had not used a decorator before and carefully chose Talianko Design but were still a bit apprehensive. Debbie was great in trying to set up a day meeting, very reactive and thoughtful. She came out and was perfect. Met us where we were as far as not wanting a large scale project but just ideas, insights and a project plan. She worked hard and by the end of the day was putting down blue tape on our floor to set up out next steps and help us firm up her ideas. I would suggest her to anyone and look forward to using her when we have a larger budget for our next project. read more

We just purchased our first home and I didn't know where to start with the updates. The home was well cared for but felt very tired and dated. I first wanted to make a game plan with an interior designer so we spend money in the right places and didn't get in over our heads. Debbie Talianko helped us come up with ideas to make the exterior more attractive, open up the foyer, update the fireplace and so much more. She came up with ideas that we would never have thought of and exceeded our expectations. We look forward to working with her again when we remodel our kitchen. read more

For many years we've lived with randomly purchased, mismatched furniture, but when we finished remodeling our home, I wanted the family, dining and living rooms to look cohesive. Debbie Talianko and her team achieved exactly that, with superb grace and style. She took into consideration our lifestyle, pets, direct sunlight (or lack of) and existing color schemes throughout the house to put together three rooms that feel comfortable and appropriate. The furniture and furnishings are top level and will last for many years. A wonderful investment. read more

Debbie is a great ASID designer and very knowledgeable. I have been working with her and her customers for years. She is very committed to spending time with her clients and making sure she makes the right decisions. Because of our working relationship, I have been able to see all of her completed projects when we deliver and set up all the furniture. Everytime I see her completed projects, all I find myself saying is "Wow, she really knows how to design a home". read more

Debbie is a true visionary. Her input on the design in both our homes and our office is unique, functional and gorgeous. She is very professional, friendly and enthusiastic, so you can feel confident in entrusting her with any project. Debbie truly listens to our comments when working on our designs and is able to work around even the most difficult situations we have tossed her way. I would highly recommend her very talented expertise on any project. read more

Debbie has such great style and attention to detail. She is warm, friendly, and extremely easy to talk to. Her follow-up is fantastic. We had a major design challenge that she swiftly solved for us (as if by magic). We suffered for 18 months on this remodel without Debbie. Had she been involved in the project from the beginning, we would have completed construction in half the time ... and the word suffering would have been replaced by enjoying. read more

I have had the pleasure to work with Debbie at Talianko Design Group, LLC on a beautiful kitchen remodel. Debbie had introduced me to a client of hers that was very scared and hesitant to start a project she was very unfamiliar with. Through Debbie's patience and understanding of ultimately what the client wanted, we were able to facilitate her dreams. In the end the home owner was extremely happy we created her dreams on time and on budget. read more

We've hired Debbie several times, and would not hesitate to call on her expertise again! She has great design sense and understands the needs and wants of the client. She's helped with living room furniture, custom family room furniture, paint colors, window treatments, and custom seating for a breakfast nook & window seat. We are so pleased, and still get compliments years later! Debbie is fabulous! read more

If you want a designer that is not only talented but extremely easy to get along with, look no further than Debbie with Talianko Design's. Her ability to deliver beautiful designs to choose from for our master suite was great.
