$ Contemporary Interior Designers & Decorators in Santa Monica, CA

“I hired Ava and Arlene for a small project for an hourly fee: space-planning and color palette recommendation for a new home my husband and I just moved into. They not only previewed the space once in person to get a feel for it and take photos to do their magic, but also communicated along the way. The day of our working session was a flurry of ideas, moving furniture and snap decisions, and by 3 p.m. that day, wow... the place was transformed! Plus, I was armed with a folder full of blueprints and inspo photos that they had compiled. Highlights: 1. They respected our budget and didn't try to upsell us. 2. hey told us exactly how to prepare to make the most of our working session. 3. Persistence & creative solutions: A mover insisted that a 101" sectional sofa could not be moved into our TV room . ... think a 1920s Spanish house with low ceilings and tight corners to turn. I'm writing this review from that sofa in that TV room. Yes, they studied the angles and even decided to take some hallway doors off to save that sofa from me having to sell it. Just amazing. AA Design Firm aced their mountain of a task - merging my style with my husband's style, inside a third style we we were unfamiliar with (Spanish colonial revival). Totally worth it.”

“Amy Peltier Inc (and specifically Marina Kelly my lead designer) were incredible! The company is transparent about detail and the process involved from a financial and logistical standpoint. (And believe me this is quite important as there is a lot of waiting involved for pieces to come in, etc!) I’m terms of style, Marina met me exactly where I was and presented exceptionally tasteful and lasting pieces that completely met my expectations - and went beyond . Marina listened to my preferences and kept all my design cues aligned to come up with a beautiful space. I would hire this firm again and again. Also, as a plug, I had some painting and wallpapering done and these contractors were also exceptional and entirely professional.”

“I have renovated a few properties with other designers in NYC and Leonora's attentiveness, professionalism, and attention to detail were simply unmatched. Leonora is easy to work with, extremely organized, and lovely to be around. I look forward to working with you again! Thank you.”
