Kanika is an extremely talented designer, and I can't recommend her enough!…read more We bought a house in March 2020 - signed the contract days before covid stay at home orders. My husband and I then spent two years working from home together in our front room (we call it the study now) without any rhyme or reason, just putting our desks wherever they fit, because it all happened so quickly. It was awkward and ugly, cords and monitors everywhere, and not a great look for people walking in our front door. The whole time, I was thinking, "when this is done and at least one of us goes back to the office, I want to make this room into a nice space to read and relax, and also to WFH when I have to." That's where Kanika comes in. I tried changing the place up on my own, but every choice I made seemed to make my space uglier and more awkward. It was time to hire a professional. That decision was worth every penny. In the end, my project turned out to be slightly bigger than just one room. I enlisted Kanika's help in choosing flooring, baseboards and paint for the whole house, furniture for my entire downstairs (we were still using the old living room furniture left by the previous owners), and light fixtures throughout. She was easy to work with and understood immediately what I was going for. My study is a real showstopper now - the walls are this deep blue color that looks amazing, she designed a gorgeous custom bookshelf that makes perfect use of the space, and she picked a couch that is the perfect size, just the right color, and so comfortable. And we still managed to get a desk in there for those WFH days. Literally just the other day, I was on a Zoom with someone and thought "this room behind me is so pretty, it looks like a fake background." But it's real, and in my house! And it wouldn't have happened without Kanika. The paint color she helped me pick for my bedroom is something I never would have chosen on my own, but I still regularly think about how nice it looks whenever I go in there. Same with the color of the living room couch, I'd never have found it on my own, but now that I have it, I love it. She knows her stuff. Kanika's husband Adi runs the business side of things. He managed the project, hiring contractors and keeping everything on schedule. The work was done on time, and he kept us in the loop, patiently answering any concerns or questions. And, no shenanigans with the final cost. Really, hiring Kanika Design was a great decision for us.

A Masterful Designer & Project Manager - Highly Recommend!…read more After experiencing severe water damage in our kitchen, we initially set out to remodel just that space. However, as we got deeper into the process, we quickly realized how overwhelming it was without a designer. What started as a kitchen renovation soon expanded into a full home transformation--kitchen, bathrooms, family, living, and dining rooms--all of which desperately needed an update from their original 1992 construction. After months of searching and interviewing designers, we found Alina Druga Interiors. My wife was especially drawn to her award-winning designs, and after glowing reference checks, we confidently hired her for both the design and project management phases. From the very beginning, Alina brought a sense of clarity and structure to what had been a chaotic and overwhelming process. One of Alina's greatest strengths is her ability to ask the right questions to truly understand her clients' style and needs. She introduced us to ideas we would never have considered, while also being straightforward and honest about what would or wouldn't work--and, more importantly, why. She has a gift for refining ideas into something cohesive, tasteful, and elegant. Beyond her impeccable design skills, Alina is extremely detail-oriented and proactive. She spotted potential construction issues early on, saving us from costly mistakes. Her detailed CAD drawings were invaluable in helping us visualize the design and made things significantly smoother for our contractor. Thanks to her meticulous planning and years of experience, the entire process was well-organized--so by the time construction began, every material, appliance, and detail was already accounted for. While the preparation process took about a year, the actual construction went remarkably smoothly and was completed in just four months. Now, every time we walk through the door, we feel happy and relaxed in our beautifully designed home. It truly feels like the house we've wanted for years--our happy place! Alina's expertise, organization, and eye for design transformed our home into something modern, inviting, and perfectly suited to our lifestyle. If you are looking for a designer who is not only talented but also an exceptional project manager, we highly recommend Alina Druga Interiors!

What would have taken us weeks to decide on was narrowed down to just one meeting where Alina presented us with beautiful options which made it easy to make decisions quickly.

Overall, she was a wonderful to work with - friendly, professional, efficient and with great attention to detail. I would highly recommend her services.

Furniture needed to fit together just right, and available storage was very limited. I also wanted to refresh my interior style and replace all my IKEA pieces with better-made ones, but was also working on a budget. After getting a total brain cramp from trying to figure it out on my own, I reached out to Jill after reading her great Yelp reviews. Jill's thoughtful design of my limited space (literally, down to the inch) allowed me to fit in all the seating and storage space I need and still keep the space airy and open. Her knowledge of the best stores, manufacturers and styles for my vision and budget ended up saving me a lot of money and headaches in the long run. We've had a lot of fun working together with Pinterest boards, sharing ideas and looking at colors. Not only has Jill helped with this project enormously, but she taught me so much about decorating and design in the process. And her price is certainly fair for a professional service. I've been recommending Jill to every friend who moves in to a new place. If you're considering getting help with your home, definitely call her for a consultation!

From the beginning, Jill really got what we liked and didn't like, helped us organize and clarify our sometimes vague and scattered ideas, and was very accurate in estimating our costs and timeline. She was hands-on and responsive, and she took a lot of pressure off us by arranging painters, handymen and furniture orders. Jill is so great at what she does. In a short period of time, she transformed our ho-hum empty apartment into an awesome space that's totally comfortable yet always ready for a fancy party. We love having people over now!

I knew I was way out of my element since I've never built a home from the ground up (and never wanted to, if we're being honest) and I knew I needed professional help. Natasha and the team helped me not only to design my dream home, but to enjoy the process too. They were able to take my vision and give me the tools to bring it to life. They were able to offer reassurance that everything would work out. Natasha and her crew offer so much insight and have deep knowledge of the entire process which was really valuable for me when I questioned what I was hearing from our new contractor. I can not recommend Natasha and Inspired Spaces enough for any project. They have the skills, the local connections, the design eye and they also have heart.

But her ability to listen and distill our swirling, incoherent ideas into something truly beautiful makes her a superstar. We have a 70's ranch house set down in the woods. The house is about 40 years old, we have been in it for 25 years, and had it had never received much attention. It was always too dark and closed off. There was a funky West County hallway that was also two bathrooms. We loved raising our children here, but now we were ready to open it up to the redwood trees and sunshine outside. We had a contractor who was really good with the structure, but we had no idea how to put the rooms together. Within moments of meeting Natasha we felt 100 percent comfortable. She never once sold herself to us, or tried to move us in a direction we were uncomfortable with. Instead, she urged us to shop where we were comfortable, find deals on Craigslist, and repurpose existing furniture. She delighted in our finds, encouraged us at every turn, and turned every one of our perplexed meanderings into an encouraging way forward. From the first painted color brushed onto the first new wall, everything Natasha picked was stunning. We spent months in disbelief as each color and recommendation made its way from proposal to reality. In the world of construction, we found out that things don't happen all at once. Sometimes it would take weeks for all the colors and elements of Natasha's design in a room or space to come together, and every time we were giddy with satisfaction. Our beautiful house literally brings tears to our eyes. We feel so grateful that we met Natasha and that she gave us this incredible space. This was our first project and we are spoiled now. Natasha took our every thought and turned our home into something that is both uniquely our own creation, and, impossibly beyond anything we could have managed on our own. Oh yeah, and her staff is courteous, responsive, kind and warm and talented in their own right. Thank you, Natasha! Thank you Inspired Spaces.
