I needed help with placement and purchase of furniture/wall art/fabrics/custom drapes. Kari has followed through with my purpose for hiring her and more. She will instantly and easily take a purchase/design idea in my luxury dreamy mind and suggest less expensive ways to achieve it. This is totally opposite of what we fear in hiring expensive interior decorators who end up leading you to spending more than you expected. Her very reasonable rates combined with her budget-conscious approach will result in a fabulous handsome home that is magazine worthy without breaking your hard-earned bank!! Also, she is impressively quick to respond and she follows through with everything. This being her second career after being an executive she is in touch with "the real world" and the budgets most of us have to live by.

Desiree was great to work with. We hired her to help us decorate our main living area. I was a…read morelittle worried that our job would be too small for her scope, but she assured me that she does jobs of all sizes. She started off by coming over to our house to get an idea of the space and our style. We had already ordered the sofa, but needed help with everything else, as we were starting from scratch. She went shopping with us twice, and the remainder of the time, we worked by emailing each other links of ideas. She quoted us on a budget that we were comfortable with, and she was able to finish everything in the hours she quoted us on. She even came over a final time to help us install some wall shelves and position the accessories around the room for us. There are so many stores and ideas that I never would have thought about without Desiree's help. She was really great, and I would highly recommend her!

Desiree did a great job with one of the most difficult projects of my life: choosing the color of…read morepaint for each room of our condo. After subtly guiding us away from the disaster it would have been had we gone with our original color choices, Desiree was able to find an excellent color match for each room with further recommendations on how to use accent colors to expand the space. She was also able to tell when either my wife or I did not like a color--even when we weren't sure ourselves--and she was quickly able to find different colors that we both liked. We had the place painted and it looks fantastic! We couldn't be happier with it. Far more than just paint selection, Desiree also offers a complete portfolio of interior design services and is especially passionate about kitchens. Coming from the insurance industry where she regularly negotiated with top executives, no one drives a harder bargain with contractors better than Desiree - and that could save you a lot of money and headache.

I'll be honest. I didn't think I needed a designer. I thought I could figure it out myself…read more Then I met Saba Khawaja... and that changed pretty quickly. From the first meeting, she just got me. She really listened, not just to what I said I liked, but how I live. Nothing felt forced or overly "designer." It felt thoughtful and personal. What makes her different (and something I didn't even realize mattered at the time) is how balanced she is. She cares about how things look, but just as much about how they function day-to-day. She's organized, communicates clearly, and keeps everything moving without it feeling overwhelming. And the details... she notices things I completely missed, but that end up making the biggest difference in how everything comes together. Since my first project got completed- I saw clearly the immense value she brought, I've gone back to her to other project. At this point, there's no design project I'd do without her, that's how transformational she is when she touches my projects. I truly believe - This was money so well spent. In fact, I'd argue she probably saved me from several missed steps and expensive mistakes I didn't even know I was about to make if I did this myself or directly with a contractor. Looking back, there is no way I could have done what she did for my home on my own. Not even close. She made the whole process feel manageable, and the end result actually feels like me....just better, more pulled together, and honestly beyond what I had imagined. If you're on the fence about hiring a designer, Saba was absolutely worth it for me and I would highly recommend her.

I can't recommend Saba highly enough! She helped me transform my kitchen from an outdated 80's…read moredisaster into a timeless, beautiful space that I truly love! What made this experience even more meaningful is that she worked with me during a very difficult period when I was undergoing surgery and dealing with mobility issues. She was patient, compassionate, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Saba genuinely listens and makes sure your vision is brought to life without ever forcing ideas, designs, or elements that you're not fully comfortable with. She strikes the perfect balance between offering expert guidance and respecting your personal preferences. Her ability to collaborate with contractors is outstanding, she communicates clearly, holds them accountable, and ensures the quality of work meets her high standards. If you're looking for an interior designer who brings talent, professionalism, and a truly personal touch to your home, I wholeheartedly recommend Saba. She made a challenging time much easier and delivered results beyond my expectations.

Tina is just wonderful! We have now worked with Tina on two major projects: a primary bathroom…read moreredesign, and a total remodel of our kitchen, laundry, powder, and mudrooms. Tina is a consumate professional who really takes her time to get to know her clients' style and preferences and then works within your budget to deliver stunning results! Tina has a fabulous eye for color, texture, and sources everything you need for your projects from paint colors, fabrics, flooring and countertops, wallpaper--right down to the smallest details like cabinet hardware and decorative entryway coat hooks. As a result, she totally transforms your space into one that reflects your tase but elevates your style. She really worked hard to keep our projects on schedule and in line with the overall design concept by communicating clearly to us and our contractors throughout each phase of the design and build process. Her attention to detail is truly unmatched. Tina saved us so much time by applying her exquisite and intuitive design skills to our projects. We could not have imagined how beautiful our home would look when we started the renovations. We are thrilled with the results and will continue to work with Tina on all of our future projects. We cannot recommend Tina highly enough!

I worked with tdf interiors for my first home redesign. I was sick of my home consisting of…read moremismatched furniture, was embarrassed to have guests over, and was frustrated by my lack of storage space. Even when my home was clean, it looked cluttered and dirty. Once I started working from home more, I realized I needed to invest in the help of a professional who could help make my space a comfortable place to work and live. I was referred to Tina by a friend whose home I absolutely love. Like me, she has pets but somehow managed to keep all of her pet stuff from overtaking her living room. She admitted that she had help from a professional interior designer and gave me Tina's email address. Tina worked with me to figure out what my goals were via a detailed questionnaire, what my style is, and helped me figure out what I like and don't like. I sent her a list of ideas and examples and she somehow turned my hodgepodge of ideas into a reality that came together beautifully. There was no way I could have ever gotten my home to the place it is now by myself. Having never used an interior designer before, I had no idea how much a room could be transformed. It's like I moved into a different home. She also made the process extremely easy on me and I felt like I didn't have to invest a ton of time into making this transformation happen- she just took care of all the annoying and time consuming parts for me. Her rates are reasonable and she will work with you to stay within your budget. She was flexible with my needs and I didn't feel like she ever pushed me towards something I didn't want. She primarily works in the Lake Forest/Chicago area, but I live in Virginia and she was able to work remotely with me via phone, email, and FaceTime. So glad my friend referred me to her!

She got to know my design aesthetic and took it to the next level. When we were discussing the vision for my masculine primary bedroom, and she said, "picture a Donna Karen pinstripe suit," I knew she hit the nail on the head. It turned out better than I could have imagined. She took into account a couple of existing pieces I wanted to keep, and worked very hard to stay within my budget. The end result was amazing! During my housewarming party, everyone commented on how beautiful the whole home was. Felicia is an absolute delight to work with- organized, personable, friendly and fun. Five+ stars!
