Working with Catrina at LOCZI Design was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She helped us…read moredesign and select pieces for my bar, showroom, and home, and everything turned out beautifully. Her eye for color, tile layout, and overall design flow is truly impressive. What really sets Catrina apart is how easy and enjoyable she is to work with. She's friendly, professional, and takes the time to walk you through the process so nothing ever feels overwhelming. If you're looking for a designer who combines creativity, expertise, and a personal touch, I highly recommend LOCZI Design!

The short and sweet of it all: First, you're going to love…read moreyour "new" home! Second, Loczi will know what you want, maybe even better than you do. Third, you're going to have lots of fun, and you'll be sad when Loczi leaves. Fourth, your contractor and subcontractors will make you happy, or Loczi will help you find ones that will. Fifth, Loczi provides value well beyond traditional interior design. Sixth, when they are done your biggest challenge will be deciding which room is your favorite. We kid you not! Some details: Loczi performed a substantial interior design project for us. We knew we needed a good design team, but we'd never worked with one before. We had many trepidations as we evaluated a wide range of designers and their websites. We started our Loczi interaction with a long discussion with Mike. He listened intently to our perspectives and needs. In our first example of Loczi's great intuition, Mike proposed a business approach that fit us perfectly. Subsequently, Mike and Diana went through each room with us and discussed our thoughts on the scope of work. We were impressed not only their creativity but also by their careful note taking. We signed a contract right away. Ironically as it would turn out, Mike proposed one idea that I really didn't like. But the more I thought about his idea, the more I realized it really fit our needs. In our "new house" designed by Loczi, almost every room feels like our favorite room, but Mike's idea made our dining room not only my most favorite, but also our most effective use of space. Diana is an amazing designer. Mike, Catrina and Paige were behind the scenes reviewing the project and helping her whenever she needed them. Its one example of how Loczi's business processes are as advanced as their designs. They have a continuous improvement and customer satisfaction mindset that is refreshing in today's high stress world. If there's a problem, they get it fixed quickly. Loczi's designs are exemplary. When they tell you they can do some amazing things with paint, believe it. They have a "secret" technique for revealing a client's color preferences (sry I won't tell). We love how our interior and exterior are painted! They even came up with a perspective design in our stairwell that transformed our open plan stairwell into a special space. Collaborating with Loczi is easy, fun, and effective. They'll make Pinterest easy for you. Their mood boards are beautiful and they provide great choices. Our interactions with Diana were everything we hoped. Diana can whip out an elevation or drawing so you can visualize the design. If something didn't feel right or didn't fit our budget, alternatives came quickly and addressed our concerns. And if we ever wanted to understand the "why" of the design, Diana explained it so we understood and would be confident in our choice. One particular challenge we had was our primary bathroom. Originally built in 1985 and partially remodeled in 2009 without a designer, it was a mishmash of materials that didn't fit together very well. However, we didn't want to incur the expense of redoing the stone shower and separate tile bathtub. Loczi went to work and made the disparate materials look like they were intentional and the room was converted from a disappointment to fun loving space! And, Loczi can do much more. Diana designed a crucial piece of furniture for us that is beautiful and comfortable. When we couldn't find a rug to fit a special design need, Diana also designed the rug that did. Diana even prepared a guide for us so that if we needed to do something ourselves, we would know what colors and textures would work best in each room. We've used it for house plants and pots, pillows and throws, accessories, etc. Loczi knows some great subcontractors. Their custom window covering contractor was excellent. We not only have beautiful window coverings in our bedroom, but we no longer have light leaking in and waking us up. Specialty services like hanging art, reupholstering furniture, and window films become fun projects instead of time-consuming diversions. Their window film expert convinced us not to use his window film but instead use a sheer window covering provided by another contractor. And if you find your own subcontractor, don't be surprised to find out that they know who Loczi is and that they want to make both you and Loczi happy. Your general contractor also will see the value to their business in making Loczi happy. We had a painter who wasn't performing. Loczi found us another painter who performed better and cost less, and also smoothed the way with the general contractor. A remodel can be a tough project to undertake. When you use Loczi, you know you have a team of people that always has your back and your best interests in mind.

We wanted to be respectful to the original design while making the home more contemporary. Clara took care to understand our preferences and she made amazing recommendations. She helped us with tile, paint, materials selection, lighting, furniture selection, renovation ideas various and sundry, and just generally was super competent, timely, reliable, professional and creative. Partway through the project, my general contractor flaked. This had nothing to do with Clara, but when I needed someone to reset the project, gather all of the sub-contractors together and drive the project forward -- Clara was there to fix everything and get the project done and over the line. My wife and I are delighted with the outcome. The house is beautiful, we absolutely love it. Clara is not only a wonderful interior designer, but she's also completely dependable.

Kimball got back to my initial inquiry right away, offered an informed and realistic quote, and outlined her process in an appealing and accessible way. Then I learned that not only is she an excellent communicator and business operator--she is a style genius. I gave her a deranged word salad of the aesthetic I was looking for and she outlined it into an action plan, developed a gorgeous color palette, taught me how to do simple home edits and fixes myself, offered a bunch of insider discounts, provided a range of price point choices for various items, helped me place orders, and made sure every single order was correct. At one point she even came to my house to personally install two lamps and a rug because I was out of town when they delivered. When another lamp arrived damaged, she got me a replacement for free. By the end of her process, I was living in the most gorgeously decorated house I've ever seen, and the total expenditures came out significantly UNDER her original estimate. I loved working with Kimball and would recommend her to anyone!

Wit Interiors was exactly what I was looking for! They created a beautiful vision for my home and executed everything with precision. Their team was beyond amazing from start to finish.

We asked Tessa to come up with a plan to match the entryway to the style of the rest of the house. Tessa wildly exceeded our expectations! She put together an excellent plan, patiently waited for us to decide whether to move forwards, connected us with an excellent contractor that she regularly partners with, and closely managed the project, revising on the fly to add additional improvements. I can't emphasize enough how much we love the results. We smile every time we enter the condo now - many neighbors have come by unsolicited to congratulate us, and our HOA has commented that the work will more than pay for itself if/when we ever sell the unit. In sum, Tessa excelled in design, project management, and construction management. We highly recommend Tessa!

I had like one piece of furniture that I really loved and she took that and turned it into a holistic vision for our entire home. I can't even remember what our home looked like before. I love it SO much. We re-painted kitchen cabinets and walls downstairs and completely overhauled our furniture and blew out our bathroom for new tiling, vanity, fixtures and cabinets. She had so many resources that while at times overwhelming, she had a ton of patience with us and helped us make decisions when we were stuck. My husband and I really are so happy. So 2 main things I think are what make Jenny a stand-out. 1) her vision is beyond any thing I could ever come up with. Its not like she takes Restoration Hardware or Crate & Barrel and transfers it to your home. She pulls in many unique pieces that I would never think of and they are exciting and eye-catching but so well coordinated. 2) She has a great sense of knowing where to splurge a little and where to save a little so we're not having to bust the budget everywhere. She gave us options everywhere. I am just so happy. I should also mention that we did this all remote! I am in LA and Jenny is in the Bay Area (NorCal). She still managed to have a roster of contractors for us to contact and work with. So, Yes! Work with Jenny for an exciting redo!

Working with Jenny @ Parke & Olive was such a pleasure…read more As a couple moving out of a small city condo into our most spacious home to date, we felt overwhelmed at the potential options at both a macro and micro level. Jenny helped us immensely with identifying our desired aesthetic and some associated simple design terms to create a framework for the remainder of our discussions. From there, we identified the rooms where we had the most space to fill and where we would spend the most time, and decided on addressing our living room, dining room, kitchen, and home office together. We were presented with clear, concise "A, B, or C" options for selecting and pairing paint colors with flooring, lighting, and functional as well decorative pieces. This approach removed all the "blank slate" stress we initially felt going into the project and facilitated a collaboration which quickly led to selecting components that came together beautifully. Along the way, Jenny helped up strike our desired balance between a few up-market purchases for "showpiece" areas along with modest purchases for complementary items. Jenny was extremely compassionate and generous with her time to help ensure we were comfortable with all the final decisions for each room. I can't recommend Parke & Olive enough for any sized project!
