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.

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 had an incredible experience working with Nicole and her team. My family recently bought our…read morefirst home in Rancho Mission Viejo and were working with a limited budget for furnishings. I reached out to the local community for recommendations on Interior Designers and Nicole was referred to me. She provided a consultation and explained her thoughts on the space. She gave me lots of ideas and we decided to work together. We narrowed it down to the main living space where our family would spend most of our time. I knew the aesthetic I wanted (neutrals, light wood, coastal) and she was able to bring that vision to life. My family is so grateful! She was able to help us balance our dream home with being functional with two small kids. Once we save up for our next project I'll definitely be reaching out to Nicole!

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! :)

She has a phenomenal eye for detail and a remarkable ability to translate what we wanted into a reality that surpassed all of our expectations. Claudia was so helpful in selecting the perfect furniture for us. She listened carefully to our feedback and preferences (sometimes my wife and I were not 100% in agreement), then presented a curated selection that was both stylish and comfortable (and worked for both of us). Our home now feels "elevated". Throughout the entire project, Claudia was incredibly responsive, and a pleasure to work with. She kept us informed and updated every step of the way, addressed any concerns promptly. If you're looking for a talented interior designer who can help you create a high-end and truly personalized living space, you've found her. Feel free to message me directly if you have any questions.

I met Donna through our contractor, who was doing a full renovation of our new home. We had planned…read morea holiday/house warming party for about 80 people, and it was a race against the clock to have our renovations finished for the big night. Although the new floor tiles looked great, and the wall paint colors too; what was missing was that extra something pulling it all together. We had some old furniture, some new, art for the walls, a beautiful new built-in library, but we had no idea how to place the books, where to hang the art....basically our new home needed something to tie it all together. It needed Donna, said our contractor: "She can make your house feel like a home. She will tie it all together and she will listen to your budget!" And she did! She and her assistant reviewed the house, made notes and took measurements, and then they were off and running! The week flew by and she worked her magic- bringing in plants, hanging up pictures, moving tables, adding tables, taking away tables. It was a blur seeing her running around with her creativity flowing. At the end, the warmth and creative touches she made to our home was absolutely perfect. She stayed in our budget and really made the house feel like our home. That was in December and we have continued to hire her for different projects. She just blew us away by redoing all our outdoor space: overseeing the painters and landscapers, and adding finishing touches here and there. She picked amazing patterns and fabrics for our outdoor cushions. Donna is fantastic to work with because she is highly organized, calm, honest, dependable, and she truly understands the home owners' style. An added perk is that Donna is a dog lover (we have a lab that jumps all over her- working on that!) and has a great sense of humor. She continues to wow me with her designs, and I couldn't imagine decorating my home or office without her expertise. Susanne E.

However, the coffee table I purchased has a marble top which is cracking, and was actually repaired right after purchase. The owner, I believe whose name is Michael, was less than happy about having to stand by his product. He has quite a temper. The real reason I'm just now reviewing them is because of what happened yesterday. A very large, $900 canvas print I purchased and had 'professionally hung' by California Design's employee/contractor, at an additional cost, btw, fell off the wall! Not only is my wall gouged from the corner of the frame hitting it as it fell, the back frame holding the wire also came apart. That will be difficult to repair because of how it was initially put together. What I am upset about is that the installer used two screws, with no wall anchor or being secured by a stud, to hold this heavy picture! Unbelievably sloppy work. It took three years, but it finally failed, which he knew it eventually would. I paid to have it hung properly, which it wasn't. California Designs is now out of business, and no wonder! Good riddance to bad attitudes and poor work ethic.

We were fortunate enough to meet Michael and even more fortunate that he has such an eye for interior decorating. Pros ~Michael and his staff have an eye for what is going to look great ~Extremely great prices for amazing furniture that will not break the bank ~Lots of options to choose from and if you don't see it in the store it can be ordered ~Ability to have custom furniture done that is made locally and the quality is outstanding ~What Michael carries in the store is way ahead of what you could find in a place like Zgallerie Cons ~Nothing comes to mind Michael gets 5 stars in my book...He's furnished 2 entire homes, helped us redo over 60% of another house, and redone an office including flooring, wall covering and all of the furniture. Without the staging that Michael did for a house that was a complete redo the house would've sat on the market for A LONG TIME. Whatever your needs are you would be foolish not to go to California Style Home Collections!!!
