JLK Interiors, Design & Project Management
Interior Designers & Decorators in California
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 January 2014
“Jamie came on board after we had initial drawings and she completely redesigned the kitchen drawings with our needs in mind. She had a vision of what the final outcome should look like and it absolutely exceeded our expectations. Jamie had a clear idea of our budget and worked very hard to help us stay on budget without sacrificing the quality of the remodel. The choices in materials and furniture were so vast and Jamie made the entire process so positive and not overwhelming. We appreciated her candor and her extensive knowledge of construction and design and we relied heavily on her thoughtful opinions. Five years later, we continue to get compliments on how gorgeous our home looks. We very much look forward to working with her again.”
Jennifer Grey Color Specialist & Interior Design

“I have been working with Jennifer from The Old Painted Cottage since 2011. I had been a faithful blog reader (http://theoldpaintedcottage.com/) and admirer of her style for a long time before getting the courage to contact her to see if she would agree to a design consultation to help me revamp my living room. My husband and I had recently moved into a 1960's ranch - that still looked like it was from the 1960s! I was so frustrated with trying to "design" my house on a budget and getting nowhere – I desperately wanted and needed help. I kind of knew what I wanted to do and the styles I admired, but I had no idea whatsoever how to create it on a realistic budget in my own home. I hired Jennifer to teach me how to beautify my living room. And oh boy - I cannot say enough about how absolutely wonderful it was (and has been since then) to work with Jennifer! After sending her the dimensions of my living area and images of living rooms I loved (many of them here on Houzz), we scheduled and had a phone consultation and OH.MY.GOSH! Jennifer's energy, excitement, ability to translate what I wanted to the redesign of my space - and all within my budget - was incredible! One of the most amazing things about Jennifer is that she patiently taught me many interior design secrets that I never knew but have since been able to apply to my whole home (e.g., hanging drapes higher than the top of the window, displaying décor items in threes, adding pops of complementary color, etc.) Needless to say, it is 2014 and Jennifer has let me hire her to design almost every room in my house! Since 2011, I’ve had two babies and she helped me design both nurseries. Jennifer also helped me revamp my master bedroom, TV room, and the sunroom! Currently, we are doing a whole house consult on a little lake cabin my husband and I recently purchased. Overall, Jennifer is a consummate professional, her fees are ridiculously reasonable, and she is able to “get into a space” and transform it simply by looking at before photos. Jennifer is a gem! I could go on and on about Jennifer…(and I hope to meet her in person one day soon!)”
Coast to Coast Interiors
Interior Designers & Decorators in California
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 March 2013
“Coast to Coast Interiors went beyond my expectations. Even when you are not sure what you want, they can start out with something as simple as color. Debra and Keith are remarkable with their eye for color and first helped me when picking colors for the exterior of the house. I have to say I would never have considered picking the color they suggested but after changing color, the house looked completely updated!! I then was able to use their expertise with all the rooms in my house. It is unbelievable what something as little as color can do for a home. I have been able to see many of the projects Coast to Coast Interiors has worked on and I must say they are just amazing! Coast to Coast has the ability to visualize potential for a space and use it wisely. They listen to you and because of their extensive knowledge, are able to suggest things that can even help the average person with any budget. One word of caution, be aware that once you get started, you will love your home so much you can't wait to get going on the next project. They truly exceeded what I was hoping my house would evolve into!”
Enotive LLC
Interior Designers & Decorators in California
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 June 2018
“Enotive helped us transform our 70s kitchen into an open and airy floor plan. We weren't sure what the best layout for our kitchen, dining, family room space and didn't want to just blindly jump into remodeling without being able to see the area planned out ahead of time. We worked with Jennifer on the project, and she listened to what we wanted in the space and kept our budget in mind. The 3D rendering helped us play with the design and see what we were getting before making any changes. We ended up with a beautifully updated kitchen, very open and bright floor plan. Our favorite element was removing the smaller kitchen window and patio slider to create a large slider that can open up the entire wall. I highly recommend getting Enotive to help you with the design and planning element.”
McRae Lambert Dunn

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 January 2013
“McRae Lambert & Dunn provided a full-service interior design for the residence we worked on together. They are a wonderful design team to work with - very professional. They are confident in their work, and conscientious of the client. They responded quickly and efficiently to design changes during construction. Their drawings were very organized and complete. It was a pleasure to work with them, and we look forward to another project with them in the future.”
Design Loft Company
Interior Designers & Decorators in California
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 December 2012
“We hired Hellen Hsieh, the owner of Design Loft Company, to design our 725 sq ft great room addition. We are so incredibly thrilled with the completed project, it is exactly what we had envisioned. Our existing house was a 1200 sq ft 3 bedroom, 2 bath home. The kitchen and living area was very modest. With two teenagers at home, we needed to expand and wanted more room to entertain. When we started the project we were uncertain if we should knock down walls and remodel the current floor plan and add a small addition or keep the footprint of the existing house exactly the same and add on one large great room. We decided to do the later, however, to get to this point, we went through several different renderings. Hellen provided us with many great options and helped us decide what would be the most economical and feasible plan. She was flexible, patient and was great about pointing out the pros and cons of each option. Her interactions with our architect , contractor and cabinet supplier went very smoothly which helped us to meet specific deadlines. Hellen was maticulous when it came to the kitchen cabinets and made sure everything was ordered properly and our custom stain came out exactly how we wanted. As a designer, she is very creative and knowledgeable. She understood the style and feel we were after. More importantly she was very conscious and respectful of our monetary constraints which helped us complete our entire project within budget. What impressed us most was her understanding of the build process: from the contractors needs, the city requirements, realistic costs and time estimates, appliance installation prerequisites and inspection requirements. We couldn't be more pleased with Design Loft and Hellen's professionalism.”

Influent Home

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 June 2015
“My partner and I engaged with Michael a few months ago because we were unhappy with some of our present furniture, carpets and the overall feel of our condo. We had recently worked with a designer and had a less than stellar experience and result. We interviewed a few designers for this relatively small project and we both liked Michael right away. We explained our vision of "warming up" our condo, which had been decorated a bit more modern that we liked; we had not found it to functional or inviting. We emphasized that we wanted to remain in-budget if possible but were open to suggestions that might bring us a bit over if we felt it was worth it. I have worked with three other designers in the past, and I must say that Michael was by far the most budget conscious. We asked to be billed weekly and for regular, easy to understand accounting, and that is just what he provided. Michael was reliable, patient and professional through the entire process; bills for his time were reasonable and appropriate. Michael has a great eye for color and detail, and he came up with some really great ideas. For example, he suggested that we extend an existing surface in the guest bedroom/office to create an inexpensive work space that is both attractive and functional. He also brought in a plumber and painter who were willing to complete some really small but important jobs for us. Michael has been an absolute pleasure to work with. I will definitely contact him for any future projects I might have and I recommend him without hesitation. Oh and by the way, our home looks great - it's warm, comfortable and inviting. . . just what we wanted!”

Interior designers and home decorating professionals in California can enhance a space to create a more aesthetically pleasing, functional and efficient home. They are trained to think spatially and see the big picture, a skill many of us lack. With contacts and resources at hand, they can also save you time and money when it comes to purchasing products.

What does an interior designer or decorator do?


A good home decor professional will help you tell a visual story and turn your house into a home. They look to you for design inspiration, to hone your style down to its very essence. Interior designers and decorators can be involved as much or as little as the client desires. Many clients who hire an interior designer – particularly those who are renovating – have a good sense of how the room should look and what products they should use. Often clients will insist that the interior designer use the products already present in the home. Other times a designer will need to start from scratch with little more than your saved ideabooks of interior design ideas!

On occasion, interior designers in California will need to subcontract help from other California professionals to help create the perfect look for your home renovation. These may be specialist installers or interior decorators like kitchen designers, architects or landscape contractors.
