We feel so lucky to have found Alisa to help us achieve our design goals. We purchased a new home…read moreand I was certain that I would be able to create the space my husband and I envisioned without assistance. We wanted a home that was inviting and practical but at the same time made a modern, artful statement. After purchasing a few items that did not fit the space and having to pay exorbitant restocking fees, I decided it was time to look for an expert. We came across Alisa on Houzz and decided to meet with her. She not only created a space that we are both overjoyed with but she was able to incorporate most of our existing pieces in a way that makes the entire house flow. It has become everything we wanted and so much more. We have since recommended her to a few friends and will continue to do so. Thank you Alisa!

Both my husband and I thoroughly enjoy working with Alisa. From shopping with us to find the…read moreperfect dining room fixture to helping us reconfigure our room in a way neither of us would have thought of, we wouldn't dream of making design decisions without her.

Desiree was great to work with. We hired her to help us decorate our main living area. I was a…read morelittle worried that our job would be too small for her scope, but she assured me that she does jobs of all sizes. She started off by coming over to our house to get an idea of the space and our style. We had already ordered the sofa, but needed help with everything else, as we were starting from scratch. She went shopping with us twice, and the remainder of the time, we worked by emailing each other links of ideas. She quoted us on a budget that we were comfortable with, and she was able to finish everything in the hours she quoted us on. She even came over a final time to help us install some wall shelves and position the accessories around the room for us. There are so many stores and ideas that I never would have thought about without Desiree's help. She was really great, and I would highly recommend her!

Desiree did a great job with one of the most difficult projects of my life: choosing the color of…read morepaint for each room of our condo. After subtly guiding us away from the disaster it would have been had we gone with our original color choices, Desiree was able to find an excellent color match for each room with further recommendations on how to use accent colors to expand the space. She was also able to tell when either my wife or I did not like a color--even when we weren't sure ourselves--and she was quickly able to find different colors that we both liked. We had the place painted and it looks fantastic! We couldn't be happier with it. Far more than just paint selection, Desiree also offers a complete portfolio of interior design services and is especially passionate about kitchens. Coming from the insurance industry where she regularly negotiated with top executives, no one drives a harder bargain with contractors better than Desiree - and that could save you a lot of money and headache.

Nina the designer was awesome to work with. I was able to choose the fabrics and styles right at home. The fabrics were beautiful and Nina is so knowledgeable it was great to have her expertise. The entire job was reasonably priced and done with quality and care.

I did an online search for custom draperies. I was so impressed with the quick response from Nina…read more She came out to our home the following week. I showed her around my home and she zeroed in on my taste and style. Nina quickly pulled fabrics and then sketched her ideas for a large window and 2 small windows. When I asked questions about certain aspects of the design such as to the floor or mid length for curtains she was able to explain why she felt this was the way to go. It was the easiest choice to make. Today was my installation day. Wow - I am even more impressed. I feel my room looks totally pulled together with pillow shams and chair cushion; and compliments the look in my master bathroom. The color is perfect and they definitely have the wow factor. I also chose motorized blinds and they programmed them for me. I highly recommend Nina, Alex and Dennis. They are very professional and produce a quality product. We are already working on another window and other ideas.

Unfortunately, due to some previous owner DIY projects, we were forced to renovate our 1990s…read morebathroom and closet sooner than planned. We had a giant tub, a pie-shaped closet, and so much lost space. We needed help conceptualizing how to make the space work aesthetically and functionally. Rebecca not only took our wants list but listened to our lifestyle to understand what we needed out of the space. Her vision is beyond what we could have ever imagined. A month later, we are still talking about how it doesn't feel real how fantastic our Master Bathroom became, a room we adore. Her style is simple, flawless, yet dreamy. She can take an extremely stressful process and make it seamless and easy. She did everything from conceptual layout to vendor selection, procurement, and finishing touches. We did not have an endless budget, and she was conscious of our means but did not ask us to jeopardize style or quality. She went above and beyond to provide us with options, shopping around pricing with her vendors (all of which were great to work with). Her service and style are top-notch. I will only ever do another project with her help.

Rebecca was a pleasure to work with on design projects. We used Unfurled Interiors for both our…read morepowder room and primary bathroom. She took my input/inspo pics and turned them into reality, saving me hours upon hours of time and research. Not only did she guide me to beautiful selections, and peace of mind with those choices, but she also put me in touch with trusted vendors, which provided additional peace of mind. Overall a great experience and I would recommend her to anyone!

Tina is just wonderful! We have now worked with Tina on two major projects: a primary bathroom…read moreredesign, and a total remodel of our kitchen, laundry, powder, and mudrooms. Tina is a consumate professional who really takes her time to get to know her clients' style and preferences and then works within your budget to deliver stunning results! Tina has a fabulous eye for color, texture, and sources everything you need for your projects from paint colors, fabrics, flooring and countertops, wallpaper--right down to the smallest details like cabinet hardware and decorative entryway coat hooks. As a result, she totally transforms your space into one that reflects your tase but elevates your style. She really worked hard to keep our projects on schedule and in line with the overall design concept by communicating clearly to us and our contractors throughout each phase of the design and build process. Her attention to detail is truly unmatched. Tina saved us so much time by applying her exquisite and intuitive design skills to our projects. We could not have imagined how beautiful our home would look when we started the renovations. We are thrilled with the results and will continue to work with Tina on all of our future projects. We cannot recommend Tina highly enough!

I worked with tdf interiors for my first home redesign. I was sick of my home consisting of…read moremismatched furniture, was embarrassed to have guests over, and was frustrated by my lack of storage space. Even when my home was clean, it looked cluttered and dirty. Once I started working from home more, I realized I needed to invest in the help of a professional who could help make my space a comfortable place to work and live. I was referred to Tina by a friend whose home I absolutely love. Like me, she has pets but somehow managed to keep all of her pet stuff from overtaking her living room. She admitted that she had help from a professional interior designer and gave me Tina's email address. Tina worked with me to figure out what my goals were via a detailed questionnaire, what my style is, and helped me figure out what I like and don't like. I sent her a list of ideas and examples and she somehow turned my hodgepodge of ideas into a reality that came together beautifully. There was no way I could have ever gotten my home to the place it is now by myself. Having never used an interior designer before, I had no idea how much a room could be transformed. It's like I moved into a different home. She also made the process extremely easy on me and I felt like I didn't have to invest a ton of time into making this transformation happen- she just took care of all the annoying and time consuming parts for me. Her rates are reasonable and she will work with you to stay within your budget. She was flexible with my needs and I didn't feel like she ever pushed me towards something I didn't want. She primarily works in the Lake Forest/Chicago area, but I live in Virginia and she was able to work remotely with me via phone, email, and FaceTime. So glad my friend referred me to her!

I'll be honest. I didn't think I needed a designer. I thought I could figure it out myself…read more Then I met Saba Khawaja... and that changed pretty quickly. From the first meeting, she just got me. She really listened, not just to what I said I liked, but how I live. Nothing felt forced or overly "designer." It felt thoughtful and personal. What makes her different (and something I didn't even realize mattered at the time) is how balanced she is. She cares about how things look, but just as much about how they function day-to-day. She's organized, communicates clearly, and keeps everything moving without it feeling overwhelming. And the details... she notices things I completely missed, but that end up making the biggest difference in how everything comes together. Since my first project got completed- I saw clearly the immense value she brought, I've gone back to her to other project. At this point, there's no design project I'd do without her, that's how transformational she is when she touches my projects. I truly believe - This was money so well spent. In fact, I'd argue she probably saved me from several missed steps and expensive mistakes I didn't even know I was about to make if I did this myself or directly with a contractor. Looking back, there is no way I could have done what she did for my home on my own. Not even close. She made the whole process feel manageable, and the end result actually feels like me....just better, more pulled together, and honestly beyond what I had imagined. If you're on the fence about hiring a designer, Saba was absolutely worth it for me and I would highly recommend her.

I can't recommend Saba highly enough! She helped me transform my kitchen from an outdated 80's…read moredisaster into a timeless, beautiful space that I truly love! What made this experience even more meaningful is that she worked with me during a very difficult period when I was undergoing surgery and dealing with mobility issues. She was patient, compassionate, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Saba genuinely listens and makes sure your vision is brought to life without ever forcing ideas, designs, or elements that you're not fully comfortable with. She strikes the perfect balance between offering expert guidance and respecting your personal preferences. Her ability to collaborate with contractors is outstanding, she communicates clearly, holds them accountable, and ensures the quality of work meets her high standards. If you're looking for an interior designer who brings talent, professionalism, and a truly personal touch to your home, I wholeheartedly recommend Saba. She made a challenging time much easier and delivered results beyond my expectations.

Our basement was completely…read moreunfinished, and we had a very specific vision: a man cave, a wine cellar, an art studio, and plenty of storage. Renee really listened to what we wanted and helped bring our ideas to life through several detailed 3D models, which made it easy to visualize the final result. She provided lots of design options, so we always felt comfortable with both the design decisions and the overall cost. Renee is extremely knowledgeable, has a great eye for design, and consistently found us the best deals. Her team was courteous, clean, and professional throughout the entire process. We absolutely love our basement--it truly feels like another livable floor of our home. Everything was customized perfectly, and we couldn't be happier with the result.

"I had no idea that even simple changes to a room required a multitude of decisions. All I wanted…read morewas a new bathroom vanity. I didn't realize that I'd need not only the right size vanity, but new mirrors, new faucets, new lighting, plus installers and plumbers. Renee guided me through that process. She helped me measure for the correct size vanity, showed me lighting options and taught me how to measure for proper lighting and mirror placement. She showed me how I could use my existing brushed nickel fixtures with new brushed gold faucets. That saved me money. She helped me know what information to share with the plumber and the installers. I can't thank her enough for saving me time and frustration and I'll use her expertise on any new projects in our home."

Our experience with Janessa was absolutely fantastic. I'll admit that I was a little skeptical of…read morethe value of an interior designer before we started working with her, since my wife and I had a decent vision for what we wanted to do with our home. But that's what made Janessa so great: she used her expertise to get the most out of our desired style rather than just imposing whatever was trendy on us. Plus, she was really resourceful in helping us get the most out of our budget and finding us excellent quality products at reasonable prices. For me, the most pleasant surprise was Janessa's ability to create a home that's both timelessly stylish and comfortable to live in. Whenever we have guests over, they often stop in their tracks in awe at what she's done with our space. At the same time, our home is so cozy for both hanging out and working. I really didn't expect both of those goals to be achievable in a single design, but Janessa nailed it. I've already recommended Janessa to multiple friends and family members based on our great experience. Our home is the best testimonial for her work, since people can't stop asking about it!
