We did most of the renovations ourselves, and then Robin did the finishing touches. http://www.roomfu.com/gallery/living_rooms/austin_global_modern_living_room.html http://www.roomfu.com/services/services02.html If you think interior designers are just for the rich and snobby, then you haven't met Room Fu. Robin will work within any budget, and the time and money we saved on finding a nd picking out things like paint, fixtures, furniture, and accessories more than made up for the cost of the design plan. Highly recommended!

Timeline disclosure - I used Robin back in 2009. When I looked for her listing to write a review…read morethen, I couldn't find it. And now I ran into it when I was looking for interior designers. I wanted a bright and bold house 5 years ago. Robin was energetic, and excited to work on picking the colors out. I told her some of my ideas for a bright pop of orange, etc. She ran with my ideas well initially. But as we got into the main living/kitchen areas, I wanted the tone to be more muted, and wanted to opt for something more pastel or neutral. At this point is where my experience with Room Fu went wrong. I was goaded with the words "I thought you wanted to be fun and bold", and ended up picking colors I would be irked by. A purple kitchen next to a golden wall, a concrete colored half wall, and an avocado green hallway. Anywhere I stood in the house, I was looking at at least five colors. We didn't enjoy it at all. There was no place to escape the loud colors and create a tranquil corner, something I had hoped the kitchen/breakfast area would be. It was an over-the-top version of what I had wanted. End of last year, we finally painted the house an all-over neutral, and MAN I was so happy. It finally stopped looking like a clown house. I've done a good bit of remodel/redecorating since then, and never once has anyone else tried to push me so far beyond my tastes. They all realize it is my home, and ultimately I have to love it, no matter whether that makes me "fun and bold" or not.

We worked with Suzanna to remodel our master bathroom/closet and guest bathroom in our small house…read morelate last year to create a better use of space when we learned we had a baby on the way. I couldn't have imagined a better experience and nearly one year later, I still love every single detail of our new rooms! We had actually worked with two different designers in the past for our home (a family connection who was based in San Antonio and gave a shot at one of those online services too), but unfortunately had very poor experiences so we were incredibly cautious as we explored who we wanted to work with for an investment like a remodel with a tight timeframe. We filled out a short intake questionnaire and put together a Pinterest board with style ideas and were blown away by how quickly she nailed our design aesthetic and knew exactly what we needed to do with the space. What I love most about Suzanna is that while she's an incredibly talented designer, she also works like an architect and was able to reconfigure a small space for us to maximize every square inch to somehow make our small room feel double to size and meet every functional need. Suzanna works by an hourly rate and I was very surprised how quickly she works and efficient she is with her time. She also includes you in as much or as little of the design process as you like. I wanted to be a part of everything because I wanted to learn, but I would have trusted her to make every decision without me there - and that is saying something since I'm very picky and have a very specific way I like things to look! I could not have dreamed a better experience in working with Suzanna. In fact, we are more open-minded for the next house we buy because we know we can use her to help us update it and make it our own! We can't wait to work with her again!

We love Su!! What makes Su a top tier designer are both her unique, studied design skills and her…read morestrong project managment skills. She provides end-to-end service from concept to completion. She exhibited a fastidious attention to detail and a calm re-assurance that our shared concept would take life to specification between our four walls. All of the micro-decisions of any renovation project add up; when we were overwhelmed with yet another choice to make, we could count on Su to make the call, because she not only has an amazing aesthetic, but she also knew our preferences. And all this to say, she respected our budget and was transparent in pricing and estimates along the way. She knew when to give accurate estimates and when to defer to expert contractors. Her material choices are unique within the bounds of the agreed budget decided early in our project. We recommend Su to all of our friends and family, and look forward to working with her again, when it is time for our next project!

It's been long over-due to write this review of our kitchen/living room remodel. However, with…read morealmost 2 years out, I think we have a good perspective now. April is probably great if you have no idea what you want for your remodel and want her to just design and do it all. However, we knew exactly what we wanted, how we wanted things designed and the specifications we wanted. April did not pay close attentions to all the details we provided her. Cabinets etc were undersized. We had to go back and forth many times. Very cheap materials and labor are used (only single coats of paint and now we have had to repaint most surfaces already with just simple user wear/tear). Cheap material was used in the pantry that we had to have her pull out right after assembly. She spend nearly all of her design hours researching a job that she really could not do. In the end, we are not very happy with most of the work quality or the experience. Next time we need to do a remodel of anything else in our house (which we are starting to plan now for our master bathroom), we will certainly go elsewhere.

Her eye for detail, impeccable sense of style, and ability to bring my vision to life exceeded all my expectations. Every space she touches turns out stunning and perfectly curated.

If you're looking for an interior designer who will transform your space into something beautiful and uniquely yours, look no further. Thank you, Laura, for making my home a dream come true! I'm beyond grateful for your talent and can't wait to work with you again in the future! Five stars!!

I had a light remodel done by Komal and her team back in 2017. The project was a little bumpy (the…read morebacksplash Komal chose was very tricky to install and her tile guy didn't really know how to do it). Anyway, it's now 5 years on and I needed to add some window blinds and wanted to match the products Komal selected. I emailed her multiple times and received no responses, I tried the manufacturer but unfortunately it's one of those "call your dealer," type places. The stickers that might have had the info we're all sunbleached and unreadable. I finally gave up and ordered something that doesn't match. Not how I imagined this would work when I hired an expensive designer. Also, we just discovered Komal's contractors who installed our sink/kitchen faucet didn't cut out sufficient space for the faucet collet. So now the whole thing has come loose and is falling over, I paid Stand Brothers to find out that they can't fix it until I hire someone to cut into the drywall and open up the correct space. Frustrating. I didn't think I was paying for cheap work but here we are.

I'm fairly artistic, but I struggle with interior decorating to the point that a former Realtor…read moretold me that my house looked like a man lived there. I'm assuming she meant a utilitarian, straight man who still had his college furniture. On the bright side, I'm not constantly redecorating, and my husband is happy. So we finally decided that our house needed some color besides the neutral brown/beige tones bestowed upon us by our manly builder and our love of natural woods and leather accents. The only problem was that, having the decorating knowledge equivalent to two men, and the budget equivalent to a couple with two expensive children, we hesitated every time it came to decisions. I ran across a Groupon awhile back for a color consultation from Spaces Designed, and I decided to call in a professional. The young woman who showed up with swatches and color strips was calm, professional, and kinder than my Realtor had been, by far (maybe it helped to have long since given away my college furniture?). She asked me questions about what colors and styles I like and don't like, and then she confidently whipped out her tools like a magic wand and laid out a color plan for me. Within an hour, I had designer colors for my pseudo man-cave that actually made me happy, because they weren't brown or freaky pink or any other risky colors that scare me. They were an array of muted grey-greens. I hesitated a bit when the painter was working, because I wasn't used to color on my walls, but I bit my tongue. And when it was all done and everything was put back where it belonged, my house was beautiful. I know this, because several of my female friends with actual decorating talent told me so, and rather convincingly at that. So if you're ready for a change, even you don't have the budget or the stomach for a total remodel, you might want to check them out for something as simple as a color consultation. I know they do a lot more than this, and if I have the budget in the future, I'd give them a call again.

But I'd also seen some of the amazing transformations Jonamor Decor had done to houses of different friends of mine. The houses ended up expressing the personality of my friends in inspiring ways that they'd never been able to effect on their own. Jonona Amor had been a well known nightclub entertainer and her husband Senor Amor was one of LA's most famous DJ's before they opened this business. This experience helped them add a fun theatrical style to my place. (And if you look through their site you can see that because of this they have worked with a lot of cool underground celebs which led to an LA Times profile on them)! There was so much I didn't know about fabric, color, etc that they taught me while doing this. Not only that, they saved me a ton of money because they knew every secret spot to get furniture, framing, fabric, cheaper than anyplace else. They also found super fun weird antiques for me including chandeliers that once belonged to Darla from the Little Rascals! I had actually been so sick of my place that I had been thinking of moving before I hired them. They completely reinvented my place and did it based on my aesthetic. My place is now comfortable but also inspiring and fun. Hiring them was much cheaper than moving to a new place. And if I move, I would definitely use them again because they did such a great job at a good price!

Once my wife and I purchased a new home in NW Austin we knew we were going to need help. We wanted our new home to reflect our style. The problem is that sometimes you have good taste but struggle to put it all together. I called Jill and she sent us Kelli Presses, a member of the Nine Design team. She is fantastic! Kelli arrived at our new home, took a tour, and immediately started listening to our thoughts regarding our aesthetic. The first thing Kelli did was help us rearrange our furniture in our living room. We spend most of our time in this room and she nailed it. Over the course of a few weeks Kelli helped us transform our entire house. From room layout to paint color to window treatments to accessorizing. My favorite thing about Kelli, besides her gift of design, was that she understood our budget and never pushed us to spend money unnecessarily. As a matter of fact, there were a few times she offered "do it yourself" ways of saving money for the same result/impact. We're now in the final stages and our house looks amazing. We love to entertain and our friends and neighbors are blown away by the transformation. We give Kelli and Nine Design all the credit. Call Nine Design if you have any design needs. We needed help with our entire house. You may only need help with one room. Or maybe you need a color consultation for painting. They do it all.
