The shop gives the impression it is a high end, quality, designer store. However, the bedding fell…read moreshort and the customer service was not helpful, but dismissive. I purchased a queen bedding set and a quilt ($900). As it turns out, the pillow cases are not queen sized. The pillow cases are too small for the pillows. When I went in to the store to address the problem, I was told their queen cases are standard size. Odd. That's like saying their king cases are queen size. In my reality, queen is queen, king is king, and standard is standard (twin). The clerk said I could buy a pair of king cases (on sale for $66) and take them in for alteration to fit a queen pillow for almost no charge. Not wanting to spend good money after bad, I opted to take my business elsewhere in the future.

It pains me to revise my stellar review because I think their designers are very talented. But they…read moremust get things in order on the business side or they will continue to lose clients. While they work on hourly consult rates which is a refreshing option for many of us, on a recent project, my business was clearly not valued. Calls and emails were not returned for days or weeks, plans not sent as promised, all eventually resolved through my repeated follow-ups. The justified reason is that a bigger client was requiring all their time. Customer Service 101. I pay my invoices on time and without question. I will set aside the sales tax issue which required multiple emails to be resolved. The last straw was the requirement to pay for a 4th consult by a sharp deadline or my consult would be canceled. What choice did I have? I will find an interior design firm that will appreciate my business.

I reached out to her back in November, she came out the next day to to give us a quote on our bathroom remodel. She made the entire process so easy. She ordered EVERYTHING for us, complete gut job, removing drywall and replacing everything in our bathroom. The entire remodel took 2 weeks. Elena was so easy to work with and even though I was nervous (you never know what you will find when you open up walls) she assured me, regardless what we find, we can fix it. The workers were great, they worked a full day and we could see the quality and value of their work. I am extremely grateful and so happy with our new bathroom.

Are you kidding me? Only five stars ? Can I give this company 10 stars ??…read more So here is my reason for my 10 star review. We started off with a little farmhouse about 1700 ft.². It had 3 bedrooms and about five different living Spaces. It was old & beat up but the land was about an acre and a half. We turn this little dump into a jewel of Bonita. Huge open layout , 1500 square feet of deck , indoor outdoor living , a kitchen to die for , bathrooms so cozy you'd want to sleep in . With the guidance, vision and help of Elena our designer this became the house of our dreams. Unfortunately it also became the house of someone else's dreams as soon as we were done ! Soon enough , even though we got an offer we couldn't refuse ! A huge pay day ! This little project home because of Elka interiors became a huge profiting flip of a home which was our steppingstone to bigger and better things to come. Not only did you make this experience and easy and amazing one but you made it a profitable one !!! Thanks for all of you insight and patience !

As a real estate agent specializing in high-end properties in Southern California, I've collaborated with various stagers over the years, but Janne's approach stood out for its seamless blend of creativity, professionalism, and market-savvy strategy. From our initial consultation to the final walkthrough, the entire process was efficient, collaborative, and resulted in a transformation that not only accelerated the sale but also maximized the property's value. It all started with a complimentary quick quote over the phone--Janne herself answered my call within minutes, which immediately set a tone of responsiveness and accessibility. She asked thoughtful questions about the home's architecture (a sleek contemporary design with expansive glass walls and ocean views), the target buyer demographic (affluent families and tech executives), and my listing timeline. Unlike other stagers who might push a one-size-fits-all package, Janne tailored her recommendations to highlight the property's unique features, such as the open-concept living areas and custom pool. The staging execution was flawless. Janne's team--a dedicated group of designers and installers who move like a well-oiled machine--arrived on time with everything needed. They transformed the space in just one day, creating high-impact, on-trend vignettes that felt luxurious yet livable. In the living room, they layered neutral-toned sectionals with textured throws, abstract art, and strategic lighting to draw the eye to the panoramic views. The primary bedroom became a serene retreat with hotel-style bedding, subtle metallic accents, and fresh florals that evoked a spa-like ambiance. Everything was magazine-worthy, de-personalized yet warm, and perfectly aligned with the home's style, location, and price point. Janne personally oversaw the details, making adjustments on the spot and sharing tips from her "Secrets of a Stager" talks, like how to streamline furniture arrangements for better photography flow. Throughout the process, communication was top-notch. Janne's award-winning customer service team handled logistics smoothly, from flexible payment options to quick responses via text or email. There were no surprises--just reliable, high-quality work that elevated my listing and boosted my commission. I've since referred The House Whisperers to colleagues for everything from quick-turn investor flips to celebrity estates. If you're dealing with luxury properties, Janne and her team aren't just stagers; they're strategic partners who turn tired listings into irresistible homes. I can't recommend them highly enough--call them at 858-335-9577 for your next project; you won't regret it.

Don't listen to people who say that all realtors are the same -- or they only show houses. Not true! A great real estate agent helps you prepare and price your home to sell. They help you negotiate the best deal possible. They don't BS you. They understand contracts and will catch problems before you sign. They help you find great people to work with before and after the sale. Christine is that kind of real estate agent. Top notch.
