We had a wonderful experience working with Madhu to redesign our living room and family room. She…read morewas genuinely attentive from the start -- taking the time to understand our tastes, needs, and the existing style of our home before making any suggestions. What we appreciated most was how thoughtful her recommendations were. Everything she proposed felt like a natural fit, blending beautifully with the rest of our home rather than feeling out of place. She clearly has a great eye and tailored her design to our specific constraints. She was professional, easy to communicate with, and made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. We're really happy with how the living room and family room turned out and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an interior designer who listens and delivers.

She is SO much fun to work with and always open to new ideas or changing minds. She is patient too, which really helps when dealing with clients like us! We wholeheartedly recommend KP Spaces for fabulous taste, patience of a saint, and a ton of fun!

When my husband and I moved into our new home last year, we were totally overwhelmed with the task…read moreof filling it up and making it look great. I always have a pretty good idea of what I like and how I want the space to feel, but the execution part is always tricky for me! That said, I was really hesitant to use a designer for fear of 1: not seeing eye to eye design-wise, and 2: being over-charged for a service that I would be only somewhat satisfied with. Despite my reservations, a friend of mine introduced me to Keri and I instantly knew she would be a great fit. First of all, she is pretty much the nicest human being on the planet. I'm not kidding. And I could tell that she had a great sense of style and design by the way she dressed (is that shallow?). ;) As it turned out, Keri was and has been everything I HOPED a designer would be: very open to hearing my ideas, and yet decisive and clear about what might and might not work in a specific space (I tend to be wishy-washy and can never make up my mind); incredibly creative and resourceful; willing to work with any budget; and just extremely easy to work with. As the mother of a toddler, she also understands the specific needs that we as parents have in terms of furniture that is both aesthetically great AND functional. I am so happy with the work she has done for us thus far.. We have almost our entire house completed, and I have been having a blast every step of the way. There are not many services that I can honestly say this about, but Keri has been worth every penny. Overall, she has saved us hundreds of dollars, not to mention time! We'll continue to use her until our house is finished, and I'll recommend her to all my buddies.

Rebecca is an incredible designer, and you will be forever grateful to have hired her. She…read morebeautifully balances careful attention to detail with gorgeous vision and creativity. She is patient and kind as she walks you through the design process and answers your (inevitable) many questions each step of the way. We worked with her to redesign three spaces in our home: our kitchen, and two bathrooms. With each space, she found ways to approach them in new and practical ways when we felt otherwise overwhelmed. She guided us through choosing stunning finishes, and we received so many compliments from contractors and friends alike along the way. We had never done a remodel - and now, being on the other end of the process, we don't know where we would have been had we not had her detailed designs to guide us all along the way. Whenever questions arose, it was invaluable to have something so concrete to refer to, and we can't recommend this approach enough for anyone considering a remodel.

At our realtor's recommendation, we used Living Edge to stage our single family home for sale…read more Overall, it was a slightly surreal and oddly dissatisfying experience, as described below. You can draw your own conclusions Note: When Larisa visited our house to check it out, we told her our target date to list the house was in 27 days. She said she'd get us a quote the next day but we didn't hear back for almost week due to her CRM issues. When we finally got the quote, we exchanged a couple of emails to clarify some line items in the quote. At that point, she cc:ed our realtor to keep him in the loop, which made sense. But then things got weird as Larisa simply stopped communicating directly with us. The day after the receiving the quote and email exchange, we asked what next steps would be in order to lock in a staging date of May 21-22 (based on her telling us that staging would take 2 days). Total silence for 6 days. I followed up with an email on May 12 (getting pretty close to our May 27 target listing date!). Still no response directly from Larisa herself. However she apparently got in touch with our realtor -- and that's how communications went for the rest of the time. We never heard directly from Larisa at all until we received an invoice from her asking to be paid within a week (with spam-like reminders every couple of days) Pros Consultations are free, pricing was fair, and the final result was mostly fine. Cons * No direct communications from Larisa, only via our realtor, esp during the crucial 3 weeks prior to the listing going live * Changed the agreed-upon staging date with minimal notice, caiming a conflict with another staging job. This forced us to change all the other carefully planned items on our schedule (home inspection + sewer scope, carpet cleaning, move-out cleaning, etc) * Took 5 days to complete staging, with no explanation why, much less. apology. Which also forced us to reschedule some previously planned milestones. * Used a dining table with a prominent crack that was clearly visible, with no attempt to mask it with a tablecloth or table runner * Left dirt on the floor and big, ugly hooks in the walls (that we/our realtor had to clean up and remove) after removing items used in staging.

Extremely Disappointed - Unprofessional and Misleading Experience…read more I wish I could give zero stars. I found this company through Yelp and initially connected with Larisa Kocsis about staging my home in Lake Stevens. Their website listed a $3,000 full-house staging package, which I selected. However, Larisa later claimed that price was outdated and requested $3,200 instead. We eventually settled on the original $3,000 due to the small size of my home--which didn't even have a living room. I also specifically asked if the balcony with a lake view could be included, to which she responded, "Thank you, and sounds good." However, on Saturday that was the staging day, My listing agent and I were presented with a contract that excluded the balcony. When I politely asked her to add it as we had discussed, her response was both dismissive and unprofessional: "Correct, you have brought it up, but I have not agreed to including it. As you can see the quote is itemized per room, and you already received a $200 discount. I have been more than reasonable. I am also reaching a new threshold in the number of message exchanges about this job. You can accept the quote or not." I was absolutely shocked by this poor and unprofessional attitude. Not only did she backtrack on what was previously communicated, but her tone was unnecessarily aggressive and disrespectful. I refused to sign the contract as I found Larisa very dishonest and irresponsible with no intention except wasting my time and my listing agents'. This type of customer service is completely unacceptable. I would caution others to get everything in writing beforehand and be prepared for a potentially unpleasant experience.

So many others…read moretook the same furniture, art, and decor and recirculated them through one listing after another. Brilliant's approach looked significantly more customized, and that's exactly what we needed to highlight key features in our home. Meeting Kate during the initial consult, it was clear that this was THE staging company we needed. She noted so many details throughout the house and yard, offered a wide variety of design suggestions, and was already thinking through strategies for each room. They were able to accommodate our need to still live in the house (with a dog), and their pricing was extremely competitive. Every dollar spent had an amazing return. Though we knew their team would do a superb job, we were still completely blown away by how the house presented when they were done! Colors, textures, wall art, furniture and rug selection, and even angles of decor all worked cohesively to make our house inviting for all who toured. We know that market timing had a lot to do with our listing's high interest, but we're absolutely certain that Brilliant Staging's work was what captured these numerous buyers' interest, first in the online photos and video, then in person when they toured, and hours and days later for the multiple buyers who loved imagining themselves in our house and prepared to write their offer.

Are you looking for an interior designer? Look no further, because Mariko with The Apartment…read moreDesigner will blow you away with her stunning ideas and designs. My wife and I were looking to update our bedrooms, so after searching high and low, we found Mariko with The Apartment Designer. What was really unique and cool about the company was that it offers 2 options. 1) E-Design, and 2) Full Design & Setup. Since my wife and I love to be hands-on and wanted to feel part of the project, we chose the E-Design option, which is very budget friendly. After a quick phone consult, all you have to do is provide pictures/video of your space, some Pinterest boards of your ideas that you want your space to be, and then you send measurements. Then voila! Mariko works her magic and provides you an E-Design, along with a purchase list with direct links to websites. To say we're obsessed with the outcomes of our bedrooms is an understatement. Our rooms now have a sophisticated, elegant, and timeless look that we will enjoy for many years to come. Thank you, Mariko!

(Pardon the non-professional cellphone photos!)…read more Our family of four had a wonderful experience working with MDID on our home renovation. Michelle took the time to understand each of our individual styles and what we wanted our space to feel like, blending all of our unique preferences seamlessly into the design. And, it wasn't an easy task with the differing opinions and preferences in the family. She balanced creativity, practicality, and our constraints to bring our dreams to life. Michelle's ideas encouraged us to step just outside our comfort zone, resulting in a home that feels both unique and authentically "us." Throughout the process, Michelle and her team were organized, professional, and detail-oriented. They provided options at different price points and were always mindful of our budget, which we really appreciated. Communication was always clear and prompt. She stayed engaged with us and the construction company, flexibly adapting to the inevitable curve balls that came our way. We did face some real difficulties selecting a general contractor and major bumps along the way with different subcontractors, and Michelle risked offering insights from her depth of experience in a very respectful manner to guide us. She remained attentive to every last detail and was an advocate for us throughout the whole design and build process. We know we couldn't have gotten the house we now have at the amount we spent without MDID. We loved working with Michelle and her team. We know we saved time, money, and our sanity, and we feel very spoiled living in our beautiful home! It's gorgeous. We highly recommend working with MDID.
