[[HIGHLIGHT]]Ammie was fantastic to work with.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My condo in northern Los Angeles needed serious touch-ups after being rented out for 10 years, and I didn't know where to start. [[HIGHLIGHT]]After seeing her portfolio, I was a little self-conscious about my very "normal" place, but Ammie immediately made the process comfortable and collaborative.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space looks completely refreshed now. I'm very happy with the result and would absolutely recommend Ammie.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I'm so glad I found Ammie to work with on remodeling my first home! [[HIGHLIGHT]]She responded so quickly when I reached out for an inquiry and took the time to answer all my questions.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She never pressured me while I was still considering whether to get an interior designer or not, and she was very upfront about her costs and services. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She made the whole process really comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When Ammie came to see the space, she had an eye for making the house a home. She immediately knew to recommend adding a kitchen island. This was something I was actually going back and forth on for a really long time, and I had so many people telling me not to do it and how it would look weird or there wouldn't be enough space in the kitchen, etc. After renovations, I'm so glad we got an island because it's functional and it really elevates the space, I love it. All her measurements and recommendations are spot on. Ammie took a lot of stress and weight off my shoulders because I knew whatever she recommended was in my best interest and aesthetic. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I also asked so many questions and she was always prompt to answer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 10/10 recommend working with Ammie on your next design project. Thank you Ammie! :) read more

After more than ten years of searching for the right designer for our Newport Beach residence, we were fortunate to find Ammie.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Ammie was exceptionally effective at making progress when we were in town and communicating proactively when we were overseas--an essential factor in keeping the project moving.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] What truly differentiates Ammie is her ability to quickly understand our taste and translate it into decisive, spot-on selections.

I'm beyond happy with my experience working with Ammie -- absolutely 5 stars! Here's why: * Highly detailed design presentations Every room included exact dimensions, which made renovation planning so much easier. I had tried several AI tools before, but without accurate measurements, they weren't very helpful. Her precision made a huge difference. * Flexible options for every budget She provided multiple options (low, mid, and high-end), which helped me visualize different directions while staying within my budget. * Great collaboration & support My ideas changed quite a bit during the process, and I requested several updates after the initial design. She was patient, supportive, and always improved my ideas with thoughtful suggestions. * Very responsive She replied quickly whenever I had questions or needed advice, which made everything smooth and stress-free. * Cost-efficient & transparent pricing Her pricing is clear, and she delivers excellent value for the quality of work.

I highly recommend Ammie! When we moved into our new house, our kitchen was every shade of brown: brown floors, brown cabinets, brown backsplash, brown countertops, brown sink, brown fixtures. Everything, brown. Like most new homeowners, our budget was not unlimited, and we were not financially at a point for a full kitchen renovation. We carved out a budget for cabinet painting with new pulls, a new backsplash, and new flooring throughout. We didn't have it in the budget to replace the cabinets or replace the brown granite that I was trying very hard to make look updated and modern. In swooped Ammie. She charged us a nominal fee for cabinet paint color suggestions, tile backsplash suggestions, and cabinet pull suggestions. I was immediately drawn to one of her backsplash suggestions, and I knew we'd made a great decision in working with her. Two years later, we just upgraded our appliances and are totally in love with our kitchen. I can't believe that I was ever worried because I actually really like our countertops. They look fresh and updated next to all of the other changes we've made. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ammie was so prompt in her response, stayed true to her quote, and had our package together within a day or two.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'd highly recommend Ammie for any interior design needs. You won't regret hiring her! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Excited to see everything come together and grateful for her guidance throughout the process![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Working with Ammie was an absolutely amazing experience! From the very beginning, she went above and beyond with her creativity, vision, and impeccable sense of design. Every idea she brought to the table felt like it was made just for us--thoughtful, elegant, and perfectly aligned with our lifestyle. My husband and I had been planning to downsize now that our kids are grown and we're traveling more often. We wanted our new condominium to reflect the modern, sophisticated style of the beautiful hotels we've stayed in around the world. The moment we shared that with Ammie, she immediately understood our vision and brought it to life in the most stunning way. From the flooring and porcelain tiles to the quartz countertops, cabinetry, and every single plumbing fixture--there isn't a single detail we don't love. Now that everything is complete, we're beyond excited to move in and start this new chapter. We can't recommend Ammie enough. Her talent, professionalism, and passion shine through in everything she does. If you're looking for someone who truly gets it--Ammie is the one! read more

I am so thankful I found Ammie Kim Interior Design! We needed to give our 20-year-old house a facelift and transition from Craftsman-ish to a more current and cohesive traditional design. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ammie was so responsive to my Yelp inquiry and within 3 weeks, I had a finished PDF presentation at what I thought was a very reasonable and fair design fee.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]She was not intimidating at all and listened to my desires.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]After the presentation, as I consulted and planned with my contractor, she answered every question I had immediately, and continues to do so as we near the start of the project[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]She gave me a few suggestions that I decided not to follow... at first. She was not upset but insisted what I wanted was the most important[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. But I ended up with her recommendations in the end! [[HIGHLIGHT]]She was so great in explaining her choices with the design elements (and rules) to back it up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]She was very patient with me as I slowly let go of my faux Craftsman house.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am so excited to see the finished product! I saved so much time compared to my first experience in choosing paint and flooring and finishes. Her paint suggestions were so beautiful and classy. It's so hard for me to choose paint that I am certain will look rich and beautiful on the wall. After getting some sample paint, I chose all my colors from her suggestions, and I followed her guidelines on wood tones for our flooring. Her tile choice was spot on and coordinated with the paint choice perfectly. I tried to find the same tile at other tile stores and couldn't get the right tone. When I decided later to replace the tile on our fireplace, I had a tile ordered within 5 days of asking her to help me choose one. And she got me a discount! We are going to be starting our project less than 2 months after I first met with Ammie, mostly due to her helping me pick everything! Don't hesitate to hire Ammie. You will save so much time and aggravation and money! read more

Ammie is an amazing, professional, and talented interior designer! She helped me design my living room, dining room, and entryway. My in-laws were arriving in a few weeks and I wanted to have a new and comfortable look for them. I was so impressed with how Ammie was able to finish it before they arrived! She was so efficient and her input was so valuable. Previously, my living room was very dark and closed. After Ammie was finished, it was bright and flowy. It really opened up the space and made the room appear larger than before! She also helped me with my entryway and what a difference it made! She suggested a large painting with a console and it's made a great first impression on anyone entering my home.

She also assisted with my dining room so that it connected better with my living room. She had great suggestions and everything that she suggested was spot on.

Ammie Kim Interior Design - Interior Design Near Me - Irvine, California

Ammie Kim designed the entire interior of our new house and the backyard furniture. We were moving into a house that has a rustic Americana style but we like more of a mid-century modern/industrial style. She was so good at identifying light fixtures and paint colors already in the house that we could keep versus what had to go. We loved all her furniture and room design selections. It was exactly what we were hoping for. She gave us backup or alternative options for everything and redesigned my husband's office when it turned out the furniture was no longer available (pandemic complications). Her proposal was the most detailed and yet also the most reasonably priced. She was diligent about staying within our budget. She's been prompt and reliable in following up with quotes and orders. Our day touring showrooms to test out different furniture items was so much fun. She'll always give you her opinion, but she'll never insist or push. And when given new info, she pivots immediately with new ideas and suggestions. We will go back to Ammie whenever we're making a change to the house, big or small. read more
