Ella Scott Design, llc

Amazing! Sandra and team are the best and a pleasure to work with. They transformed my house. Highly recommend!

We had an incredible experience with the Ella Scott Design team. From our first contact to the finish, Sandra Meyer captured in our home our lifestyle of sophisticated casual comfort. Sandra helped us with every detail from the beginning of construction through the final stages of design. This is our 6th home that we have designed and built in Miami and the DC area and would highly recommend ESD to anyone who is looking for exceptional design expertise.

First-class interior design team that will expertly and tastefully handle large, complex and detailed-oriented projects. We built a new home during the pandemic which, as it’s been well documented, was one of the most challenging times to get a project of that magnitude underway. ESD’s team was professional and easily accessible providing a superior level of expertise from day one. Having the team help us with this project early allowed us to avoid costly mistakes during the build process. Through their expertise and resources, we were able to make informed decisions keeping style, scale and budget in mind. It’s important to note that this team will be respectful of your own personal style and vision. They were disciplined in keeping us focused on that goal which kept us from being distracted with other choices. We strongly recommend this team. Prepare to be impressed.

We have been thrilled with Sandra and her team. They listen to what we want and are able to bring it to life in a way that's better than we could imagine! They are also great at keeping us on track and on schedule. We could be happier with Ella Scott Design!

Sandra has the unique ability to make your home both beautiful and comfortable all while having it fit your individual needs and style. She uses color, texture, and shape to transform each space. I wouldn’t change a thing about my home as I love every detail she helped make possible. I highly recommend working with Sandra and Ella Scott Design.

Sandra and the whole Ella Scott Design team were great to work with. Sandra has an incredible eye and we couldn't be happier with the end product. . Her team assisted with everything from design selections, procurement and installation.

Ella Scott Design has done it for us again! We undertook a major (gut) renovation and addition of a classic home from 1912. ESD worked with us from architectural planning through furniture, art and window treatment installation. They tweaked/made improvements to the floor plans, selected finishes and was on sight to make sure every detail was correct during construction (even spotted and helped correct a few errors). Their experience elevated the quality of our home and saved me so much time. Rarely did I need to attend a showroom visit (as this did not appeal to me nor was it the best use of my time). They executed on my vision and brought it to life. In fact, our house is better than I could have imagined and is a real place of happiness and calm for our family. Highly recommend.

Sandra and the team at Ella Scott are the best. They are creative, thoughtful, and fun to work with. They have a way of understanding their client's style and steer you toward a cohesive vision. They are very talented and I trust their opinions whole heartedly. No decision is too small and they take the time to think things through and give a thoughtful recommendation. It's been a wonderful experience working with them on our home renovation and I have all of the confidence in the world that our home will turn out better than I could've imagined. I feel lucky to have them on my side and would recommend them to anyone!

Sandra and her team are fantastic! We have worked closely with Sandra and Alysha for over a year to decorate a 10,000 sq ft primary residence in Chevy Chase, MD. Despite the challenges, delays, and increased costs posed by the pandemic, Sandra and Alysha worked seamlessly and communicated well with us. Throughout our project, they have come up with creative ideas, encouraged our participation and feedback, and helped us stay near budget. Our house is nearly complete and it's everything we hoped it would be: organic, clean, and transitional. We love working with ESD and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Sandra and her team were amazing! They transformed my entire first floor, guest bedroom and loft in ways that I could not imagine. I have lost count of the number of compliments I have received! I love Sandra's style and attention to detail. Her creativity and eye for color and texture have given my home a new feel and personality. Fantastic work!

Sandra is amazing! After an extensive search, we found Sandra. She was exactly what we had been looking for. She has impeccable taste and effortlessly turned our rather dowdy (and unused) family room into our most stylish and lived-in room. She is gifted! The people Sandra employs to transform rooms - electricians, installers, etc - are also exceptional. We were exceedingly pleased with the project from start to finish, and look forward to working with Sandra on future projects.

This past year we enlisted Ella Scott Design to help with our new home. They helped with everything including finish selections throughout the building process all the way through furniture and accessory installation. Sandra and her team made the process seamless and stress free; they listen and offer a choice of unique, creative design ideas. Not only are they highly professional, they are engaging and delightful to work with.

Sandra, and the entire team at Ella Scott, have been wonderful to work with. Throughout the entire process Sandra was extremely mindful of budget and was able to select beautiful pieces that worked within that budget. Her taste is impeccable and she has a wonderful eye. She was able to capture the idea of the style I was looking for and use that as a basis, while still pushing me outside of my comfort zone. Whenever I needed her to review selections or look at paint colors (for hours!) she was available. I also just honestly loved chatting with her and working together - she is a joy to work with!!

Sandra was exactly what I was looking for, beginning to end in the project of redesigning our awkward living room space and our office space. Honestly, I could have chosen almost any of the options that she presented to me. Her taste is flawless, but she is also a terrific listener. She expertly channeled what I (probably poorly) described as my wishes and was very attentive to our budget. Sandra and her team are also great communicators and provided me with regular status update. Most importantly, we are so very happy with our new spaces! I will use her again in a heartbeat when the need arises.

We love Sandra. She has such a cool style and is super easy to work with. She picks colors, accessories, and furniture we would have never thought of on our own but still fit within our vision, and make our space unique. She delivered exactly what we wanted but didn't know how to fully explain or execute on our own. We will continue to work with her as we update our 1940's traditional home to make it more modern but still timeless.

My husband and I really enjoyed working with Sandra and her team. We moved from a two-bedroom condo in California to a five-bedroom house in Arlington and needed to make the place feel like home quickly and within a budget. Sandra respected our budget and chose tasteful pieces that fit our style. She was professional, personable, and forthright throughout the process. Our house looks beautiful and we would definitely work with her again.

We could not have asked for anyone better in the business to help us through the entire process of our new build as well as furnishing it. Sandra is so easy going, patient and has an excellent sense of style. She is extremely talented and was so much fun to work with. Sandra is very knowledgable about product options for all budgets. She was very responsive, especially to my late night texts. Her feedback is honest but kind and educational. I would highly recommend her and will absolutely work with her again.

I hired Ella Scott Design to help with both my condo and office. Sandra understood the look I was after immediately (perhaps better than I did). She was easy to work with and always flexible to meet or talk by phone. She oversaw a large commercial renovation working seamlessly with the contractor. Both of the spaces she created are current and yet timeless.

We hired Sandra after finding her on Houzz. We loved her portfolio of projects. We were renovating a family room and updating the adjacent kitchen. She help us select furniture, paint colors and consulted with construction team. Sandra gave us a variety of choices and guided our choices when we were unsure. She was a pleasure to work with. We will definitely be using her expertise again!

Sandra did a fabulous job redesigning our kitchen. She has impeccable taste, and she oversaw the entire project to ensure that everything was first rate.

Hired this company to do a complete renovation of our house. Redid two floors including three bathrooms and the kitchen. Their design/build expertise was essential to doing an outstanding job for us. They interfaced seemlessly with the contractor to pull off a complex undertaking that has given us a new home with great light, as well as pleasing design features like great tile and fixtures in all of the bathrooms and the kitchen. We very pleased with the outcome.

I have worked with Sandra on both professional and personal projects and the result of her design perfectly compliments her personality: serene, detailed, unique and uncomplicated. From beginning to end, Sandra is fully engaged and works diligently to design a distinguished space that is above and beyond what the homeowner envisioned. Sandra has a knack for adding comfortable energy to new and traditional interiors without making them seem out of character, just fresh with new life.

I found Ella Scott on Houzz after hitting the outer limits of what I could pull together to pick interior paint and carpet colors for our new home build. I had never worked with a designer before and was unsure of how to make the process work. I loved Sandra's warm and colorful take on a modern/contemporary style (maybe it's more of a clean traditional style with an edge). Her use and choice of color and style (while generally more upscale than I could probably afford) reflected my personal taste and aesthetic. I made 4-5 "cold call" inquiries via Houzz and was delighted that Sandra responded. She was straightforward, empathetic, and had an immersive creative approach that was very enjoyable for me and more efficient than I would have guessed. Even though she generally takes larger projects with custom elements because of the unspecified time and thought that she puts in to reaching a "creative gestalt" - she considered and then agreed to take on my project of very limited scope. In less than 5 hours she got a feel for our project (reviewing my 30-40 picture Houzz folder with relevant inspiration) and became familiar with all of the cabinetry, lighting, ceramics, and design elements of the home. She pulled together a color palette and plan for each room (working within my limitations), advised me on some interior molding and light fixture questions, and even checked out my initial carpet choices and determined the best colors and which styles to change on her own. All of this happened in a very narrow timeline and I loved and felt very comfortable with all of her choices. I felt like it was a collaborative process and I would love to work with Sandra, and her very helpful assistant Marci, again in the future!

Sandra has a great eye for design! She helped me with various aspects of my renovation -- including paint colors, tile, lighting fixtures, and furniture. She found furniture pieces consistent with my general style and that worked well with other pieces I already owned. I highly recommend her for large or small jobs.

Sandra has been involved with our project from early on in the building process. She has a "cool" and original eye has not only informed the interior, but contributed the architectural decisions as well to create a seamless connection between the two. Sandra has been able to understand and capture the individual styles of both my wife and I and marry the two in creative ways that improves on them both. The result is a space that still feels very much like us. She was the perfect choice. Our project, which is now our home, is greatly improved for having her involvement. She is a pleasure to work with and enthusiastically recommended.

Ella Scott Design has helped me with numerous projects over the last several years. Sandra Meyer has her own very strong aesthetic, but also is smart and a good listener and uses each client's preferences (and the architectural environment) as a foundation for developing her own sophisticated customized design vision. The results are really extraordinary. There is nobody better.

I have worked with Sandra Meyer for nine years doing various interior decorating projects in my home. I enjoy working with Sandra, she has great taste and works within your budget. I have recommended her to many many friends who have all been pleased with her work.

Sandra is amazing! Such a fantastic eye and great with layout/understanding space. She makes the space feel like "home." Lived in, interesting, approachable (with style and surprise). Love her.

I can't say enough positive things about my experience working with Sandra and Ella Scott Design. Sandra is a practical visionary--her design instincts are impeccable, and her recommendations are grounded in the practicalities of making space usable and hospitable. Sandra was accommodating of our aesthetic, our timeline, and our budget, and she and Marci made the logistics of furnishing an entire house a piece of cake. We are very appreciative to them and hope that you have an opportunity to work with them, as well.
