A good rug is an important design decision and economic investment too. They are located near La Cumbre Plaza but he has access to rugs in their Los Angeles and San Francisco locations too. They will show you photos and bring rugs here for you to see in your location. There is no substitute for seeing the rug in your home with your lighting and furnishings. Good luck with your shopping. It takes time to find just the right rug and negotiate for the best value. But I felt Aga John is a reputable and courteous dealer.

We have a maple Scandinavian dining room set my parents gave us as a wedding present. When the kids…read morewere little years back, the original seat fabric got all stained and nasty with milk, etc. We went to an undisclosed interior design place and replaced the fabric with marine grade vinyl and thick padding. The result was horrendous. The vinyl was tucked, unprofessionally with big seams/creases at the corners, like a do it yourself job. We didn't care at the time - as long as it held up for the next 10 years, we were good. Come 2020 and that vinyl is getting annoying. Our butts stick to them, the chairs noticeably look bad relative to the rest of our furnishing, and most importantly, the kids aren't leaving have half their food on the seats. Santa Barbara Design Center has been here for a while and I stopped in randomly on the way to Home Improvement. I was introduced to Michael, a knowledgeable and personable chap. I showed him an online picture of the original chair, and that I wanted to restore the seat to its original, sleek, sculptural and refined splendor. He said no problem, provided a couple of premium quality fabric books, and we were on our way. We picked out the fabric and brought the chairs in. Michael commented "my god, who did this work?" 50% down and ten days later, chairs were done, with a message "come down and make sure you are happy." My wife and I looked, were pleased - Michael responded with "here's something that bothers me, I want you to see..." He flipped the chair over and on the bottom, the seat fabric was stapled just outside of the underside frame. You wouldn't see it normally, but from a distance or looking down from the side, you might. Immediately we thought the same thing, yeah, that's not ideal. He said it shouldn't be done like this, let me redo it for you, no charge. His upholsterer redid it, and boy those 8 chairs look great, almost better than the original! The seats came out sleek and wonderfully curved over the underlying pad. The fabric is comfortable, soft and elegant - couldn't be happier. The interior of SBDC fills a warehouse space and contains just about everything; furniture, rugs, lamps, etc. The staff were COVID compliant, and Michael was a dream to work with. He has an excellent eye for detail, is easy to work with, and is an honest broker; I wish we had more projects for him!

The Los Angeles Design Center is comprised of many high end stores who sell top of the line designer products. In fact you have to be an Interior Designer to purchase anything there The Santa Barbara Design Center owner is not customer oriented. Six years ago we had their designer come out to our house and she picked out a sofa and pillows for us. She miscalculated which side the size of the room and also cutom made over sized pillows - which to this day we cannot use to sit comfortably! We recently went to the store only to find out from the owner that our sofa and pillows were worthless! We wanted to have our old family room sofa reupholstered but only to find out that it would cost as much as if you were to buy a new one. The biggest disappointment was when he bragged about changing our over sized pillows ,that their designer made for us, for the right size for $100. When my husband went to drop them off he increased the price by another $100 to the inserts! This was totally misleading! So now we were looking at $200/ pillow to correct their designer's mistake. Bottom line is that we have a very high end home in Santa Barbara and the pillows on our living room sofa are $1,500 each. The reason I am writing this review is to let people know that they should not be fooled by this furniture place

One of the tables appeared to be missing a leg, and one of the chairs we wanted was out of stock in the store. Carolina was so helpful in getting a new chair ordered for us and arranging for the missing table leg. The chair arrived quickly, but the leg took a bit longer, so I reached out again. That's when Jamie, one of the managers, stepped in. She immediately started problem-solving with her GM and came up with a few creative options to get us what we needed as quickly as possible. I really appreciated how proactive and thoughtful she was--she clearly cared about making things right. When we went back to pick up the replacement leg, we realized (after seeing the tables again in-store) that our movers had actually used the wrong leg on one of the tables--so we didn't need a new one after all! Even so, the level of customer service we received throughout the process was outstanding. Carolina and Jamie were both terrific--helpful, patient, and genuinely invested in helping us. It made all the difference. Thank you both!

We stopped in to get some Christmas ornaments for our family. We picked out quite a few and went to the check out. The young cashier seemed lost. We were having difficulty with the app to check for coupons and from the store in Santa Rosa they would give us a number to text that would log you into their site to check you coupons. We ask the young man and he tells us there is no such number. We tell him we've done it before he again tells us no. We ask him to call or ask a manager who quickly gives him the number. Ok you don't know. Then ask for help. We bought maybe 25 ornaments and the cashier started throwing them all into a bag with no separation or anything wrapped around them. When we asked if he could at least wrap the glass ones he rolled his eyes and begrudgingly wrapped three ornaments. We'll see when we get home how many of the ornaments will still be intact. I love to see young people working but this young man needs someone to train him and observe how he interacts with customers.

Very nice in person, Takes measurements and discusses. This was a Friday, so I understand we might not get the estimate soon. I'm told, if not this weekend, I'll get it to you by Monday eod. No worries, that's reasonable. Heck, it can be any day, just do what you promise. Monday nothing. Tuesday nothing. Call Wednesday. Says I'm really busy, No apology until I call them out on what they promised. I didn't set the expectation, they did. I tell them, if we don't even have a contract and you're being like this, what am I to expect? Next day, I get a text about the room to be done, is it upstairs or downstairs, and the bathroom, is it being done? I'm totally confused, we never spoke about a bathroom and the room is upstairs. I get the quote finally. It's ~$30k more than another quote I got from a 5 star Yelp business. WTH. Looking deeper into the quote, it's talking about terracota tile and grout...we never spoke about that, we spoke what I already have downstairs, which is laminate. They even stated, that's a manufactured piece we can't get anymore but we can get something close to match. Don't always believe Yelp reviews, but I'd believe this one.

The house will be listed in 3 weeks and I need someone to stage the house; to add the finishing touches. I interviewed several staging companies. The last person I called before making a final decision was Christine Cowles Bergamin at Styled & Staged Santa Barbara. Of all the staging companies that came to my house she spent the most time. Christine and her husband Mauricio are a terrific team. They spent time measuring rooms, taking pictures and really getting a feel for the house. I was very impressed and decided to hire them on the spot. Within a day I received a detailed written estimate. She recommended which rooms were most important for staging and what I could do to save some money. I decided to do more than less and she got to work. A few days before my property went on the market, Christine and her husband got to work. They spent two full days "dressing" the house. Christine obsessed over every tiny detail. Furniture came in and then came out, pictures in pictures out: It was a frenzy of activity, finding just the right pieces for the space. Staged & Styled SB converted my house from a nicely remodeled house into a high end luxury home. A professional photographer, a great agent and a fabulous staging company and my home was listed on a Thursday. The next day I received multiple offers and accepted the best offer Saturday. All this before the open house on Sunday! A professional staging company is a must. The property shows better in the MLS listing and creates a real "buzz". There's more interest, more offers and it sells fast! Thank you Christine and Mauricio. I couldn't have done it without you! Brian P. Goleta
