Elisabetta has excellent taste and resources. She knows where to find the right products and materials. She led us in new and different directions that provided beautiful solutions. The skilled workers and subcontractors she works with are first-rate and artists at their craft. They are a pleasure to work with. Eli takes great care to select only the best. She has a great rapport with them and they are very responsive to her. When issues and questions come up, as they always will in a job like this, Eli is very accessible and addresses them quickly and effectively. She becomes your ally, always checking with you to make sure you are happy and satisfied with the progress and the product as well as staying within budget. Anyone that has embarked on similar projects with contractors can attest to the need for a qualified professional when things don't go as expected or proposed. As a business, Pianta Design is well organized and runs very efficiently. Overall we are extremely pleased with the service and expertise provided by Pianta Design. We would recommend Elisabetta without the slightest hesitation. The kitchen was totally transformed into a beautiful space, taking on the look of something 2-3 times the actual cost. The craftsmanship along with Eli's choice of design, materials and color schemes are outstanding. The floor design and layout were also transformational giving the home a completely new and refreshing look. The porcelain wood-like tile Eli helped pick required an excellent installer and she had just the right one. Everyone that has seen the floor has commented on the beauty of the shape and color, in addition to asking if it is real wood. Eli is a truly gifted interior designer who has helped us realize our aspirations and has exceeded all of our expectations while at the same time helping us stay on budget. We truly could not have accomplished this without Eli's help. So in retrospect, we view the hiring of an interior designer such as Pianta Design, an investment rather than an additional cost!

After I purchased my new loft and deciding to go all-in with renovations, I researched and spoke with several designers. What stuck with me, was that right away Elisabetta showed genuine excitement and great vision around the possibilities. The renovation included a full kitchen, lighting and furniture for the dining and living rooms, colors and painting of the entire unit. I had never gone through a major redesign or worked with a designer before and was unsure of the process. Elisabetta and her team asked me a lot of questions about my tastes, listened to my ideas and brought back a vision that was awesome! They did such a great job of ensuring the design was something that I would love. The result is that they gave me such a beautiful place, one that I couldn't imagine getting to on my own, but it feels 100% mine...and I love it! In addition to the design, I needed help coordinating and manage the entire project. This included purchasing and receiving, managing budgets, pulling permits, coordinating and managing the contractors, final inspection of their work and set up of the furniture. I needed a turn-key renovation. Elisabetta and the team delivered on this front as well. There are still some rooms that I intend to finish at a later date and Eli will be there with me! She was so easy to work with, had great vision and creative ideas, paid attention to detail, masterfully managed all the moving parts and ensured that I would love the results...and I do! I still can't believe how great it looks! At Pianta Design they are true professionals, super creative, great people to work with. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for help on a renovation and full design! Paula L. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Elisabetta, a truly talented interior designer, on a recent project in San Jose, California, and I couldn't be more impressed. Elisabetta was incredibly responsive, always available, and supportive, providing all the necessary information and beyond to ensure the project's success. She cultivated a professional yet fun and relaxed work environment, even when faced with numerous complexities. Elisabetta maintained an unwavering focus on the design, delivering a consistent project that beautifully blends modern and mid-century elements. Her expertise extended beyond design; she also assisted with purchasing, procurement, logistics, and shipping, ensuring the project was completed promptly and that all purchased furniture and light fixtures were safely handled. I am thoroughly impressed with Elisabetta's dedication and skill, even when she was a few days post-partum she was already available to discuss some details. She never ghosted anybody from the team. I look forward to working with her again in the future! read more

reposting "I thought that hiring an Interior Designer was an expense I could avoid, and of course, It seems like I could figure things out on my own, but do yourself a favor and please hire Elisabetta. I exhausted my resources (Houzz, blogs, google, yelp, etc...) before hiring her and I should have done it months ago. Not only she is a total delight to work with, but she delivered! She will go straight to the source - Italian manufacturers - and she will deliver a custom project that eventually cost us less! Another great surprise was that she really spends as much time as needed (and I mean it...also weekends and holidays...she always replies!) and NO surprise time billing! I haven't felt this peace of mind since the entire project started. I was driving myself crazy. She puts herself in your shoes and really thinks of every possibility. I couldn't be more satisfied with her work!" Jeanne H. read more

Can't say enough about Elisabetta. From start to finish, she and her team are complete professionals who get even the smallest details correct. Eli is a consummate professional, I highly recommend her for any of your interior design needs! She is just as polished and professional as her vibrant portfolio suggests-with a great sense of style, a keen eye for detail, and first-rate customer service. Elisabetta has a great sense of what designs are both in style but will stand the test of time (so you aren't left with a home 10 years down the road with a bathroom which was contemporary 10 years ago, but is now out of style and is going to be a hassle to sell). Her use/knowledge of lighting and traditional materials makes a space feel so open and vibrant. Our bathroom could never have turned out the way it did without her team and inspiration. We can't thank her enough! Scott Mason read more

Elisabetta Pianta is one of the most creative and resourceful designers we worked with over the years. She helped us design a large outdoor project with a lot of attention to details. She is so easy and pleasant to work with. Always responsive, creative and positive. Now we see that a lot her "catches" prevented some major errors that could have been made by contractor. Equally important, her practical suggestions were right on / from big picture design to small finishing details. Her esthetic style is warm and customized to each client. Eli is a great listener! If you are looking for a designer who will make your dream project come true, look no further. We are really grateful to have found her! read more

With years of experience in the field, Elisabetta brought a wealth of knowledge to the table. One of the most impressive aspects of working with Elisabetta was her exceptional communication skills, especially when coordinating with the project manager and the construction team. Her ability to bridge the gap between design vision and practical execution was remarkable. In addition to being highly skilled, Elisabetta is one of the hardest working professionals I've encountered. If you're looking for an interior designer, I highly recommend Elisabetta! read more

Elisabetta and his team are amazing. They took a challenging, older house and transformed it into a functional Architectural Design worthy home. The process was detailed and comprehensive. Starting with look books, then floor plans with a priority on function and comfort, then selecting the individual pieces from high-end vendors. Elisabetta listened to our wants, but also pushed our design sense to give us a designer level home. Elisabetta went above and beyond to make sure we were happy, was more than willing to change original plans as needed, was incredibly responsive, and gave us the home we always wanted. read more
