This review is way overdue, by about 5 years! Darcy helped us with our family room and we absolutely love it! We had worked with other designers, but they didn't even come close to Darcy. Her creativity and ideas in addition to her passion about making sure you love the results were just what we needed. Everybody comments on our family room, especially our fireplace. Thank you so much Darcy! We will be contacting you soon for another room. Shoshana read more

Simply Stunning Spaces - Fireplace - Interior Design Near Me - San Diego, California

I didn't have a very good experience with their design consultation. Once I paid for consultation, there was no proper communication on their end and nothing came out of their design consultation. I am not sure what their design looks like but the consultation was not at all the $400 they charge. Update- After my feedback, Darcy reached out saying there was some miscommunication at their end and they are working to fix it . They also offered additional services to make this experience better. I am glad they took the feedback and reached out to fix it. That is definitely a sign they care and want to improve. read more

I was very intrigued by the companies website, booking tools, and Instagram page so I was looking forward to the consultation for 1 kitchen and 2 bathroom renovation I requested. Only to be contacted 30 min before the consultation to ask for my Pinterest boards to be sent to a Cailey and then during the 5-10 min conversation for her to say we signed some new projects so I'll check and see if we can even fit you in. If your company is too busy to take on new clients please do not book consultations, simply respond by saying that. Nice designs though! read more

I absolutely love Darcy and everybody at simply stunning spaces. Darcy's helped me with several houses on several projects. Her design style is incredible, she truly cares about everyone. She puts her heart and soul into everybody's house like it is her own. She also carries really cool unique furniture and I just love that. She always seems to be ahead of the trends, what she's loving ends up being really popular in the next 2 to 3 years, how does she know? Does she have a crystal ball? Or maybe everybody's just copying her?!? read more

Darcy, the owner of Simply Stunning Spaces is such an incredible person to work with. I have had the pleasure of working with her on one of her biggest projects and her incredible attention to detail and the amount of love and time she pours into each and every client she has is something you dont come across every day. I am definitely a person who is used to working with champagne taste on a beer budget and Darcy is someone who can find ways to accommodate every bank account. She is able to seamlessly blend expensive pieces from upscale designer stores that I could never afford with awesome pieces from places like Target and Marshalls with no one being able to tell the difference! Her initial design consultations and presentations are INSANE and a treat within themselves and are like nothing Ive ever seen anyone put on. I am a craft paper genius and she is the only person I have ever met who surpasses my talent for contorting simple pieces of scrapbook paper into masterpieces. You have to set up a meeting with her to see them because I am insanely jealous that I didnt come up with this idea to use for something first and you will be blown away! In addition to her limitless ideas, countless connections over the city and surrounding areas and wonderful repertoire with all the local vendors, Darcy has an amazing personality that is sure to make you feel at home and comfortable with her. She will immediately 'fit in' with you, regardless of your personality type and is eager to hear your ideas and make your space exactly what you want and even more than you thought it could be! read more

If you're looking for an interior designer in San Diego, look no further. Darcy and the team over at Simply Stunning Spaces are AMAZING. I have worked with lots of interior designers over the years, but none have impressed me as much as SSS does. Darcy's extensive knowledge and eye for design is what sets this group apart. They've turned what would be ordinary homes into masterpieces. I highly recommend them for all your San Diego interior design needs. read more

After buying my first house, I purchased an 1.5 hour consultation with Simply Stunning to get some design ideas for how to decorate the house. My husband and I had previously lived in a much smaller space, and we were looking for concrete ideas on how to setup things. What kind of furniture to buy. What color schemes worked. Where to put things. The first person they sent out didn't fulfill our expectations. (It wasn't Darcy.) After I wrote a bad review, Darcy contacted me and she said she would personally come out to provide us a free consultation to ensure we got what we originally paid for. Darcy came today and provided us exactly what we were looking for. We got good, specific advice on things both big and small. She was proactive with looking at our space and coming up with ideas on her own. She wasn't afraid to tell us things we had done that she didn't love, why she didn't love it, and then ways to improve it. So, in the end, we were happy with what we got. read more

I'll make this short. Was There for 10 mins. 3 employees. How hard is it to look up and give a simple Hello! read more

I hired Cailey and her team to help me design my new home with furnishings. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and I truly love the way the house looks. It flows very well and has simple, timeless pieces that are versatile and comfortable for my family with 3 small kids. We had a few small hiccups along the way. Some pieces took a long time to arrive (due to covid) and at times I felt the proposal and responses to emails took longer than I thought it would. The cost proposal Simply Stunning Spaces originally sent over was much more money than I had originally hoped. I was able to pair down many items to make it closer to my budget. Cailey was so kind to work with me and provide ideas at a cheaper price. She would also send me exact links of items to purchase that I wanted to buy on my own. Cailey and her team do LITERALLY EVERYTHING. They set up the electrician, delivery, set up, hanging all art and removal of boxes and trash (important to note, you will be paying an additional fee for this--on top of the design fee). You don't have to do anything besides make the choices. Truly, I wish Cailey could have designed every inch and shelf in my home--the only reason we didn't was because of cost. My life would have been so easy and the house would have looked flawless. It still does look amazing, despite the choices I had to make on my own, haha. If my kids didn't constantly destroy my house, I would include some pictures of the spaces to show how beautiful it turned out! read more

I purchased a new home last year in La Jolla and although the view and the lot were amazing, the house really needed a lot of work. This was my first major remodel so the idea of taking it all on without some professional help just didn't seem like a wise decision. I searched online for an Interior Designer and found Simply Stunning Spaces. I stopped by their showroom, scheduled a consultation and immediately I was impressed by Darcy's ideas for the house. The 3D renderings really helped us visualize the concept ideas and surprisingly the house looks almost exactly like the rendering! Tanya from her office communicated consistently with us throughout the process so we always had timelines for everything. We absolutely love our home and are currently enjoying being the new gathering place for our friends and family. 5 Stars for sure! read more

Simply Stunning Spaces is a great fit for someone looking for a new look but needs some help. Darcy has an arsenal of samples and images to choose from. She'll create a 3D rendering of your space so that you know exactly how your finial choices will look. At the end of the day, Darcy has great customer service and is an absolute pleasure to work with! read more

We recently purchased a new home and Darcy came out to provide us with a two hour consultation. She was nice enough to schedule me in on short notice, given the fact that I wanted to move things along quickly. Darcy was on time to our appointment, listened to our needs and wants and provided us with great deign ideas for our entire home based on our vision (I used the app houzz to show her my "dream" designs along with puctures and measurements of the existing furniture and decore that must be implemented in our futr home design). She was amazing! She quickly took measurements and video of the areas of our home so that if we considered using her expanded design services , she will be able to provide us with a 3d replica of our home and what it would look like given our deign needs/wants. I was very impressed, I would absolutely consider her again for any future design services. read more

I own a Day Spa in need of a makeover! However we have only been open for 2 years and are not quite ready to invest the $20,000+ bids coming in from contractors. I looked on Yelp for an interior designer and Simply Stunning seemed very positive. I am glad I called because she is the only company who answered the call promptly and set me up with an appointment for the following week! ((All the other companies need to work on their booking and phone skills)) Let me tell you...this girl is the BOMB!!! I loved all her ideas and I know I can give my business the look it needs on my budget! She is amazing and whether you have a company OR residential need, please give her a shot! read more

If I could give Darcy and her team 100 stars, I would! Let's start with the beginning, my project isn't the easiest to tackle as it's consisted of removing walls, lifting ceilings, having a budget, 2 very stubborn husband and wife and some how Darcy was able to handle it all. The house turned out BEYOND AMAZING and we've gotten so much compliments. I've referred 2 of my friends to SSS already because they love Darcy's work. Now, let's talk about Tanya. This girl is a superwoman, she handled all finances/appointments/shipments to the tee. She made my life stress free and I can't be more thankful. On top of that, Darcy and Tanya are always cheerful, you can tell they really love what they do and it shows in their work. My husband and I will continue to use Darcy/Tanya and SSS with our future projects. We would have to say that choosing Darcy and SSS was one of the best investments we've ever made. You will not be disappointed! read more

Sent an email, didn't even get a response. Guess my project wasn't even worth a reply.

My husband and I were fortunate enough to be able to purchase a townhome in LaJolla. Until we retire and can be there with greater frequency, we have chosen to rent it week by week to vacationers. We closed on the home in late April and had to have it completely repainted and decorated as quickly as possible to be photographed and put on the rental website for summer bookings. I found Darcy and Simply Stunning Spaces through a website that matches homeowners with decorators based on their stated needs. Darcy was a godsend! We wanted beachy, airy, and elegant within a budget. I travelled from Texas to San Diego and met with Darcy on a Monday. By Wednesday, she had a thoughtful, professional, beautiful presentation put together with a wide array of choices for some of the bigger pieces. Together, in about two hours, we chose colors, fabrics, sofas, tables, beds, lighting, rugs and not much else. I trusted her eye to pull everything together to complete the look we wanted. I left on Thursday feeling incredibly confident that I had found the right woman for the job. Darcy did not disappoint. My husband and I returned about three weeks later to an absolutely fabulous, beautifully appointed and accessorized beach home! Darcy is absolutely amazing! She uses reliable, professional painters, electricians, and repair people that want to continue to work with her. Aside from her great eye for design and incredible sense of style, Darcy is a very smart businesswoman. She is charming, responsive, professional, flexible and an absolute workhorse. My husband was a little bit dubious that I wanted to hire a decorator rather than simply allow the vacation rental folks to furnish the house. But I dug in my heels because this is our home and won't always be a vacation rental. My husband now recognizes what a smart investment Darcy was. The home has been rented all summer long and the management company has informed us that, though a block from Windansea Beach is a pretty good location, it is renting extremely steadily because it is Simply Stunning on the inside. Thank you, Darcy. I am glad that we found you semi-early in your career. You will go far. Susan and Joe The Woodlands, TX read more

Their concept of doing virtual interior designs is amazing and very cutting edge and I like Darcy's design concepts. She also has a passion for design that sets her apart. read more

As a Realtor, I need contractors for everything...but I never had an Interior Decorator until Darcy. Her personality and style go hand and hand. My clients are very pleased and that what counts. Design in the Box, Staging, Complete home makeover and Bachelor Pad for ME :) has been incredible. The fact that she also works with corporations such as PETCO really makes her stand out. Thanks Darcy! read more

Darcy was great help with the chaos I call my living room. She is fun to work with and has a great eye I will use Simply Stunning Spaces again. read more

Darcy and her team were great at coordinating our initial appointment, timely in response and pleasant during the entire process. Darcy has a great system in organizing A troubling space and gelling my ideas into a cohesive design. Thank you, Simply Stunning Spaces. Barb Dunn read more

Darcy is an incredible designer. She came up with a design for our home that far exceeded our expectations. She did a great job of understanding our style and everything she recommended was perfect for us. Her design plan made it very easy to pull everything together. Most of the items selected were available at well known stores (with the exception of some custom furniture pieces we wanted). This made online ordering and deliver of the items a snap. Darcy has been great with follow-up. I highly recommend Simply Stunning Spaces. You won't be disappointed! read more

Simply Stunning Spaces provides exceptional interior design creations that are custom tailored to what exactly what I want, only better!! Right from the get-go, my budget and ideas were taken by their team, implemented and honored. Then, they take their classy, artistic and unsurpassed flair and spin it all into incredible, real, and do-able interior design. The grand finale comes when they actually transform your home into what was created on paper quickly, timely, and creatively. They actually SAVE you the money that you would waste trying to do all of that yourself. I use them for ANY place I live or work. The decision to use this company is a no-brainer, hell yes!! read more

Darcy is a fantastic designer! Her taste is and design suggestions are beautiful and her relationships with suppliers and vendors result in more options and savings. read more

Darcy designed the downstairs of our home in 2012 -- and recommended colors for the whole place -- and we have been getting compliments ever since! Somehow, she merged our very different style wants/needs into a brand new look. She gave us plenty of options, but we found ourselves selecting her first choices -- our downstairs is virtually identical to the rendering she provided. The colors, furniture, lighting, carpeting, fireplace, entertainment unit -- ALL are as 'in style' now as they were then. Darcy was one of the best decisions we ever made! read more

Darcy was such a positive inspiration to work with. She is very patient with hearing a person's vision out (with all the Pinterest boards AND changes that come with said 'vision') and also guiding you in a way that will lead to the best possible scenario. I have a tendency to "have a lot going on" when it comes to decorating and she was so good about being kind but holding the reigns when I needed to focus on narrowing the important aspects of the vision down. She had construction knowledge that I otherwise wouldn't​ have considered and made costly errors on my own (ex: I almost bought a light fixture that wouldn't fit the current 'j box' in the ceiling - I had no idea to even think about that - nor know what a j box was). You will feel comfortable with her and her team as they are on it w/ communication during the entire process. From showroom visits to her coming to our home during every stage, I knew her presence was keeping the renovation crew on point. I appreciated the patience she (and her team) showed us and the respect she had for our home every step of the way. I'm not including photos for privacy reasons but our home is absolutely a walking dream now and we have Darcy & team to thank for making that dream tangible! read more

We really enjoyed working with Darcy. She helped us twice; once with some ideas for the inside of our house and most recently with our back patio area. We took her advice and suggestions and it turned out great! We look forward to working with her again on our next project! read more

I attended a workshop that Darcy gave recently and did not know what to expect. Darcy was very informative, gave great advice to everyone in attendance and made the entire workshop a fun experience. I learned so many new terms and things to consider when decorating (or in my case a new build). I am still early in my build process, but will more than likely hire Darcy to help with this project. I love the fact that she can help you virtually and give you computer renderings of what the finished project should look like because this will be helpful to contractors or anyone else helping with the project (husbands for example). read more

I worked with Darcy. Her design was incomplete - her measurements were wrong and unusable. Her design did not take into consideration structural components to our house - which would have driven up the cost of our renovation significantly. She failed to show up for appointments. She failed to return calls. Unfortunately, she is at the point in her career where she is suffering growing pains and lacks time management skills. I could not recommend her services. I spent $7000 and received a completely unusable design plan. I ultimately fired Darcy (requested a refund of half the upfront money which I have yet to see) and ended going with an architect who could help bring my vision together without the burden of making major structural changes to my home and at a fraction of the cost. Utilizing Darcy was truly the worst decision I have made in our home renovation project. I can't emphasize enough - buyer beware, she is not all that she claims she can be. read more

I received a two hour consultation with Darcy as a Christmas present and can I say, BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER!!! I have a interesting space with several design challenges and after two years of troubleshooting, I remained stumped. Darcy arrived with fantastic ideas and helped me figure out how to tackle this unique space. I now have a game plan and feel as if a weight has been lifted. Darcy is so knowledgeable, has great design ideas, and is just wonderful to be around. I plan to use her again and again. Thank you, Darcy! read more

Having just moved to Pasadena from Las Vegas, recently married and working full-time I really had no clue where to begin on decorating our new home. I was a little hesitant to admit this to my new hubby so I started looking all over the internet for inspiration and found Simply Stunning Spaces. Darcy was an excellent find and the perfect solution to what I was looking for. She was able to show me exactly what my home would look like before we ever purchased a piece of furniture and then gave me a plan for how to implement those ideas on my own. I'm still in the process of getting everything ordered but it's been a huge relief for me just knowing that I'm making all of the right decisions regarding sofa sizes, paint colors, fabric choices, and all of the other 1001 decisions that I had no clue about. The design plan really reflects both mine and my husbands tastes, which was another thing I was worried about because he likes more of the sleek, modern look and I tend to lean more towards the traditional or "transitional" styles (according to HGTV's style guide). Darcy did a really good job at creating a design plan that we're both excited about- something I'm sure was not easy to do. I'm looking forward to seeing everything come together and recommend her to anyone looking for a designer that isn't outrageously expensive and is easy to work with. read more

We had a 2-hour design consultation with Darcy a couple of months ago, and it was amazing! She gave us so many wonderful ideas. We implemented them all, and our house looks 1,000-times better! In particular, everyone who comes over tells us our tiny living room looks so much bigger and so much more put together. We are now planning to hire her to re-design our kitchen. Thank you, Darcy! read more

Darcy's design seminar was entertaining and very helpful. I have worked with designers in the past and welcome her approach to design on a budget. She's very creative and experienced and had many illustrations and thoughtful questions for us. I left the seminar inspired. I expect to hire her for some projects I have been mulling over for months. read more

We recently bought a new home and wanted to remodel a few areas to get that nice staged and pulled-together look we've seen in model homes and on HGTV. I contacted a few interior designers even for just a consultation but was discouraged with my initial experience. They were either pricey, not available, or would not return my request for a quote. As a result, we decided to tackle the design decisions ourselves, but after a few weeks into the remodel, we started to feel overwhelmed with some of the design decisions we had made. What looked good alone or what we thought would look good did not turn out as expected. I decided once again to seek for help, and this time I decided to contact Simply Stunning Spaces. First of all I loved how it was very easy to schedule an in-home consultation online and the price was very fair, especially after using a Yelp coupon. I was able to schedule an appointment for within a few days. There was great communication and preparation even before the consultation. I really felt that Darcy wanted to come as prepared as she could so that we could make good use of the 2-hour consultation timeframe. Darcy was on time to our appointment, and listened to our wants, needs, and budget. She provided us with invaluable design ideas, more than we can ever use, and opened our eyes to things we never thought about. She even took measurements and gave us precise details on recommended dimensions for furniture and accessories. Overall, it was a great experience and I wish I had known about Simply Stunning Spaces before we started the remodel. I could tell I would have saved precious time and money. I highly recommend having at least the 2-hour consultation if you are on a strict budget. It'll pay for itself :) read more

Regarding my review, I tried to impart that my ONLY issue was the difference between what was promoted versus what the real plan was for. While I do not need these specific services, I will say that after having Darcy reach out to try to make it good with an offer for a personal visit from her, at no cost because of my experience, this is clearly something that makes her business worthy of your attention. Integrity speaks volumes to me. And, as I said, if full design services are what you need, I know the price was reasonable. It's a question of expectations. I would guess some clarity will ensue in the information available. Thanks. read more

Darcy is a design Goddess. I thought I was beyond hopeless. Although not actually color-blind, my home looks like I am. Darcy is amazing. She was able to help me in spite of my tendency to want to make all the wrong decisions. No matter what your needs or tastes; this is the person you want to assist you both with design and space. Two thumbs up. I should have called earlier. read more
