Maureen is absolutely exceptional -- we could not have found a better designer for our renovation…read more We worked with her on two bathrooms (guest and primary) as well as our primary bedroom, with all construction happening while we were away traveling, and the experience could not have been smoother. We loved partnering with Maureen on the design. She made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free, helping us bring our vision to life while elevating it in ways we couldn't have done on our own. For every decision, whether it was shower tiles or cabinetry wood, she presented us with a thoughtfully curated set of options, saving us from hours of researching online and in-store. She also provided invaluable guidance on where to invest and where to be more cost-efficient, all without ever compromising on quality. I also cannot emphasize enough how incredible Maureen's eye for design is along with her ability to tailor her recommendations and the design to your personal style and goals. During the renovation, we were traveling internationally and so Maureen managed the overall project, sharing regular updates and photos. We're incredibly grateful we trusted Maureen with our home and are thrilled (though not surprised) that the end result was perfect and exceeded all expectations. We recommend her without hesitation and would absolutely work with her again.

It's not pure coincidence that Maureen has "Bravo" as a part of her name. This woman is a humble…read moregenius in her craft. I was immediately drawn to her work when I reviewed her portfolio. Often times, designers have the same "look" for multiple projects. Not Maureen - I could tell she chose finishes based on her client's preferences. Our late 1970s home was in dire need of new floors, interior doors, and an updated stair banister. Maureen suggested an initial walkthrough to ensure she would be a good fit. From the moment she showed up, I enjoyed being in her presence. The brief suggestions she made were in line with my ideas, and I knew I had to work with her. Maureen was mindful of our budget. She would always ask my opinion prior to sourcing design choices, even after I communicated that I had full trust in her. It was true collaboration. Maureen consistently stayed on top of timelines and would keep me updated in a timely manner. We enjoyed working with Maureen so much that we decided to add on a master bath remodel. I now get to wake up every morning in the beauty of our new home. I'm certain that this vision would not happen if it weren't for Maureen's talent. For me, having someone design your home isn't just about their skill and creativity, it also includes how they made you feel through the process. It doesn't get any better than working with someone who is honest, trustworthy, reliable, and talented.

She is a great communicator, is well organized, and ensures her clients' needs and preferences are clearly represented throughout the process.

We started our home project with nothing more than a rough idea of what things were important to…read moreus. We wanted clean lines, modern yet still warm and livable, neutral & timeless. I met Pam, and on the spot, knew she was the right person to work with. Pam asked all the right questions and listened to what we wanted in our dream home. She completely understood our vision, thought of every little detail, and didn't overlook any aspect of the project that we felt was important. The level of detail and thoroughness when it came to how the spaces were designed really showed Pam and Erwin's level of expertise. Pam and Erwin had our dreams, vision, and best interest in mind. From the initial space planning for the kitchen and master bathroom, the layout of slabs, tile and cabinetry, selection of all the finish materials, colors, fixtures and hardware, they were very professional to work with. Details matter to us, and their attention to detail is apparent in our finished home. They referred excellent vendors and suggested the best, high end and quality finishes and materials. Most importantly, Pam and Erwin's work ethics are unbeatable, and they made sure we got everything we wanted on our checklist. From start to finish, the design process went smoothly, and the meetings and discussions were fun and productive. We gave them the creative freedom and trusted their design process and vision and our kitchen and bathroom remodel designs are masterpieces. We were so pleased with the quality of their work that we asked for Pam's help to furnish our house. Every room was beautifully designed with an understated sense of elegance and in tune with the architecture and surroundings. Pam's sense of style and her vision has positively impacted our quality of life as we enjoy her work every day. We are very grateful that we were able to work with Pam and Erwin. Our house would have not been the same without their creativity and vision.

She insisted on working with her 'team'. Mind you this is a former Google employee who has no formal training in design and fewer interpersonal skills. I've had better service at the USPS than with UD. In her response below she attempts to imply UD turned me down. The reality is she forced the issue of working with her contractor. Duh, who is footing the bill here Pamela? My contractor recommended the architect who recommended UD; and you attempt to commandeer the entire process by forcing the removal of the client's contractor? Recommendation: Avoid. Highly inflexible, domineering owner.

The short version: We needed someone to help us select…read morecolors and tile for a whole-house remodel, and Nicole did a great job! The long version: We were remodeling our entire house at once, and needed help in limiting our choices for wall/ceiling colors, tile and flooring. Nicole was great to work with! After telling her about our vision for the house, showing her our existing furniture and accessories, and telling her the colors we liked, Nicole helped us come up with a coherent color scheme that makes our house the showplace we wanted. For us, the hardest part of the remodel was selecting the tile for 7 different places in the house. We told Nicole where we wanted to splurge, and where we wanted to save money. She was able to give us several options for every selection, and we love the results. Check out the photos I've posted for some examples. In the end, Nicole was able to flex to our pseudo-do-it-yourself style and give us everything we wanted. Also, when marble for our bathroom arrived damaged from a warehouse on the east coast, Nicole was right there making sure that it was resolved immediately so that our project wasn't delayed. We recommend Nicole, and wouldn't hesitate to work with her again. Note: We also worked with Kevin Laiks - The Urban Builder (http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-urban-builder-san-francisco) and KitchenSync (http://www.yelp.com/biz/kitchensync-san-francisco).

My husband and I had tried to pick a few pieces here and there by ourselves but we could never agree on anything. Celeste was able to find things that we both liked and worked for everyone. Once we started working with her, the process was so quick and smooth I wish we had done this much sooner. She was also very good at staying within our budget and listening to our feedback which put me at ease. She found a fabulous sofa for us, and a really unique looking lamp. She had wonderful ideas for the rest of our room which we will be slowly incorporating overtime and she also helped give me feedback on items that I would find and ask her questions about. We would definitely use ambience interiors again!

Majo and Hellen guided us every step of the way, helping us shape our Modern Spanish aesthetic while creating a detailed design plan for our contractor. With both of us working full-time, their expertise saved us countless hours and headaches. One of the biggest renovation challenges is dealing with overwhelming choices. Design Loft curated a few perfect options for everything--paint colors, light fixtures, cabinets, tiles--allowing us to make decisions efficiently while staying true to our vision. Their value went far beyond aesthetics. They caught several contractor mistakes that could have caused major issues and connected us to great vendors that helped us find the best deals. Here's something important: without a skilled designer, contractors often take the easiest route rather than creating the high-end look you're envisioning. At times we questioned our choices, but trust the process! Everything came together beautifully, and we couldn't be happier with the result. If you're planning a renovation, working with Design Loft is a no-brainer. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to create designs perfectly tailored to your taste make them invaluable. Highly recommend Majo, Hellen, and the entire team!

My wife and I really liked her and felt like she would be a great fit to take on our project. Oh and they also helped me do all the permitting with the city which helped me A LOT! That is something that was unique to Design Loft. Helen and Majo walked us through the whole process and built a room and generated a 3D layout and it was awesome! So cool to see it go from a design to reality! I would totally recommend Design Loft to anyone looking to design something special! Let them make your vision even better and transform it to reality.
