My husband and I were looking for a designer that we could really trust to execute our vision and…read morecreate a beautiful, warm home for our family to grow with. Marissa with Marissa Cramer Interiors blew us away with her skill and ability to transform our home into what we always dreamed of, but could have never accomplished on our own! I feel that decorating your family home can be such a slow and pain-staking process, usually your home sits partially un-furnished for years because pulling the trigger on the right rug, or light fixture can be just so daunting. Marissa has excellent taste and is very cool and creative. She really thinks outside the box and surprised us time and again with pieces that worked so well in the space, yet was something we would never have thought of. Originally we thought we would hire her to design just a room or two, but her process was just so easy that we eventually we handed her the entire project of designing and dressing our 3-story home. She would send us design boards with all the furniture, flooring, art, etc. picked out for the space, and we could just say "yay" or "nah" for each selection. She gave our kitchen a "face lift" that entailed installing new light fixtures, subway backsplash, gorgeous quartz countertops and a farm house sink. Our home wasn't brand new, but people who tour it now think it is! Marissa is friendly, extremely hard working and professional, and keeps the whole experience fun. My husband and I are thrilled with the job she did in our home and will use her over and over again in the future. We can't speak highly enough of her and have recommended her to all our friends.

Maureen is my go-to interior designer whether I have large needs or small. She's as cool as a…read morecucumber under pressure (catch her on those HGTV episodes she starred in) and she works with the client to get their vibe. I also like how sensitive she is to budget issues. She's also the only cruelty free PETA approved designer I know in all of California. Win-win. Really, if you need help for your corporate environment or are just feathering your own nest, Maureen "Ma-hone" as Siri on my iPhone calls her (uh, it's really pronounced like "Man") can deliver intuitive and inspired spaces you'll enjoy for years to come.

Hiring Maureen was the best thing I've ever done for my living space because she's the best…read moreinterior designer in Los Angeles, plain and simple. (She's also a PETA approved designer, which means a great deal to those of us who are committed to animal welfare.) Working with Maureen couldn't have been easier. She came into my sparse home, looked around, listened to my thoughts, measured and photographed everything, then left with a guarantee that she'd come up with ideas on how to make my living space better. A few days later she followed through on her promise with design boards incorporating brilliant ideas for furniture pieces, rugs, curtains, a ceiling fan, etc. She really elevated my place and brought it alive like it's never been before. I never could have done this on my own. (Trust me, it would have been a disaster.) I can't recommend Maureen highly enough. Do yourself a favor and hire her. You won't be disappointed.

I was referred to Interiors 86 and the founder, Farnaz by one of my friends who had recently hired…read moreher to decorate their home. I was moving from NYC to LA and was essentially, starting from scratch. From the get go, Farnaz made it so insanely simple and was so incredibly helpful that it didn't even feel like I had moved. She designed my entire 1 bedroom apartment + loft essentially from scratch, always checking in with me to see if what was being proposed met my own sensibilities. I would highly recommend her for any design service. She's incredibly talented and she's also such a pleasure to work with.

She is TRULY THE BEST INTERIOR DESIGNER. When it comes to design and decorations, I am lost but…read morepicky. She worked within my budget but my place looks like a million bucks. I can't even recognize my room any more. After asking her to do my room, I had her do my whole house & my office. She is very efficient, polite, and punctual. She is very detail oriented. She didn't pressure me in spending anything more than what I wanted. I am so happy I found her. I would recommend her to anyone.

When my wife and I were moving into our new home, we knew what conceptually how we wanted the place…read moreto look. But we did not know how to go about making the whole place look the same way. We knew what colors we liked and what style we wanted but making everything look right and all of the little details was just not our thing. I was recommended to Joan and had her visit our home while it was still under construction. There was a lot of trying to explain how the fresh dry wall and floor coverings we going to look when all finished. She was instantly able to see it all in her head and picture the possibilities. We were able to come up with a pallet of all the different tones and colors that fit into our ideas. Joan's advice and her attention to details (pointing out all the little things we didn't even think of) made our house look amazing and we were thrilled with the results.

Kristin is knowledgeable and a real professional designer. She is pretty flexible with your schedule, and budget. The only thing she does not compromise is the quality of her work.

My husband and I had not done a great deal to our living room and den for 27 years. I also wanted…read moreto convert a bedroom to an office. Now that our son is out of the house we decided to interview interior decorators. We were looking for someone who was easy to work with, who would give us an honest opinion and yet not be overbearing. Enter Janet Carpenter of Artistic Environments. As soon as we met her, we knew that she was "the one". Janet understood our style and the fact that we wanted our eclectic art collection to be the "star". She recognized that the furniture and accessories should be elegant but also meld into the background. Janet always has a smile and is very easy to work with. She brought fabrics, made suggestions, answered every email promptly and came by whenever we asked her to. We shopped for furniture and her input was always spot on. When we decided to go shopping on our own or to make style changes, she supported us completely. Janet appreciates contemporary art and was able to give us some wonderful suggestions for the placement of some of those pieces as well. In the past, we would use our living room sparingly, only when guests came over. Now, we enjoy listening to music, with a drink and take great delight in our beautiful home. She designed my in-home office which is not only functional, but very attractive. It is now a place that I feel very creative. The next time we want to do any updating we will definitely call Janet.

Nicole was an absolute pleasure to deal with!…read more We had a vision in mind for our nursery, and she was completely receptive to what our own ideas were, no matter how wacky or misplaced. She effortlessly bridged the gap between my weird concepts and the wife's cute ideas, all the while making sure it "made sense" to the overall design. Even more importantly, her smiles and personality made working with her fun! Communication was constant and easy. Her many suggestions and artistic touches added subtle beauty to our room and the many conversations helped, making the resulting room completely FEEL like OUR nursery, although we know it would have never turned out as perfect without her. We are definitely working with her again. And again.

I loved working with Nicole. I feel like she really understood all that I was looking for and how I…read morewanted my place to look and feel. I had described the colors I wanted to go with and she came back with 2 samples and nailed it. I would explain something and she knew what I was envisioning. Communication with her was easy and her advice and direction were so valuable and she helped put me at ease when I would second guess myself (all the time). I was matched with her through a site called Homepolish and she was perfect for me. She understood that I wanted to stay within a budget and worked with me well on that. The only drawback was trying to line up people to do the work. It was a busy time for all of her connections, my misfortune. We met some contractors and painters but at a very slow rate and I had a time frame that I needed to be finished by (before starting another job). So I had to pick one without having met many to choose from and then it turned out the contractor I picked had a family emergency and couldn't do the job. I had already waited 4 weeks for this to begin and had no more time or hours with Nicole to lose, so I had to line up and contract the work out myself. It ALL turned out however!! Nicole was still able to help me find and pick out important pieces for my living and dining room and oh, she paired me up with Marc who made my couch which is beautiful and SUCH a value. I LOVE my place. It really turned out just how I had wanted. And I love Nicole. I would work with her again. She's talented and so pleasant to be around. I keep wanting her to come over to my place for a celebratory drink!! But alas, she's so busy (not surprising)! :-)

We spoke on the phone a few days prior to her arrival to go over what I wanted to get accomplished during her at home consultation. She had fabulous and creative ideas on how to make our new living space functional and comfortable. My husband loves the "his man chair" idea! We both love the idea of using our antique wall clocks and family photos as a focal point on the wall. The floor plan is perfect for our lifestyle and I look forward to working with Jane on any other projects that come up. She is awesome!
