Making beautiful home interiors is my profession and I always need help finishing up projects which is why I am so grateful to have Slate Gallery. Danielle and her partner Shelly are extremely knowledgeable about the artists they represent and they curate a beautiful collection. They are also able to source art from other galleries so when they don't have the exact thing a client wants they are able to pull from other local dealers. And not only that, they bring the art to my clients after they have spent time learning about what they want and where it is going to hang in the house. We have come to rely on them greatly here at LMB Interiors and our clients rave about their great service. I highly recommend.

Sara served as the lead experiential designer for a pop-up interactive art gallery for children and our Oakland-based preschool, as well as selected the furniture program for several areas of our residence, most notably the outdoor dining and lounge area. The Scale Collective impressed us with their creativity, knowledge of contemporary art and design, and enthusiasm for the craft. The preschool is now a vibrant, engaging space that captivates both children and adults. The interactive elements and thoughtful design make it a truly unique experience. At our residence, Sara transformed our outdoor dining and lounge area into luxurious, yet comfortable spaces perfect for entertaining and relaxing. The design seamlessly blends with the natural surroundings, creating an inviting atmosphere that we and our guests adore. Their use of materials and furniture was spot on, making the space both functional and beautiful. We will enjoy all these spaces for years to come!

She has an incredible eye for creating spaces that are modern while still keeping the warmth and inviting feeling of the original old charm of our home.

Start to finish the process was much easier than I expected thanks to her eye for detail and actually managing every part of the remodel. I highly recommend Marissa!

3.5 stars. I found Marissa through Houzz after the interior designer I'd worked with for many years…read moreretired, and I hired her for a small bathroom remodel. Overall, my experience was mixed. She has a strong design eye, and the finished bathroom is lovely. That said, issues did come up during the project, which is not unusual with remodels. Where I struggled was in how those issues were handled. When problems arose--such as sloppy tile and grout work, a cracked cabinet, and a light fixture that didn't meet U.S. standards--her initial response was to defend the subcontractors and the work rather than move directly into problem-solving mode. To her credit, once pushed, she did address and resolve the issues, but the initial defensiveness was frustrating. Ultimately, I completed the final stages of the project on my own, with help from a friend, as working with her became more stressful than managing those last details independently. I think Marissa would be a good fit for a strictly interior design project with fewer logistics to manage, but I would not use her again for a remodeling project.

The gallery itself is rather spacious with wide white walls and wood tiled flooring. In the middle is a wooden platform bench for relaxed viewing. The current exhibition is American Abstract Expressionist Franz Kline's work. These feel like sketches or studies but I may be wrong. It's a series of bold black ink markings on telephone book pages. If you really want to make yourself scratch your head over art this would be an exhibition to do it at. What a waste of good picture frames, jk. For the interior space and high profile name of Franz Kline, this is most likely a reputable gallery. But if you're not into abstract expressionism you can skip the current exhibition.
