Featured Reviews for Interior Designers in Carlsbad, CA

Keely Brewer Interior Design
Interior Designers in Carlsbad, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 November 2015
“Keely Brewer was referred to us by a trusted contact. My initial project was a bed crown, which she helped create/design/install, and it turned out beautifully! So much so, that we decided to use her for additional interior and remodel projects, our kitchen in particular. Kitchen redesigns are her specialty, and suffice to say, she did a tremendous job and gave us exactly what we wanted. Working with Keely has been a pleasure--she's personable and very accommodating, in addition to being extremely knowledgeable...and has turned into a good friend as well. She is reliable and sees all her projects through from start to finish, and beyond! Keely comes highly recommended, and can successfully handle any design challenge and exceed your expectations!”

“I knew I wanted my home to finally look good after such a long time sitting with bare walls and furniture that wasn’t “me.” I found Michelle and although I never saw myself as someone who could afford a designer, I instantly felt at ease with her and knew that I made a decision I only wish I had made long ago!! Michelle is super professional and uber talented. Within a few short meetings and quick screen shares, she blew me away with how much she KNEW my styles and preferences. I was able to then sit back and watch my space transform into a dream house. I am so excited to have people over now, whereas before I’d feel self conscious. My house is now an extension of me and my style. She took pieces I already had and loved in my home and elevated them to a new level, while bringing in a mix of new and old that gave me one of those “Pinterest worthy” homes. Highly highly recommended. Can’t wait for my best project with her!!”
Savvy Interiors
Interior Designers in Carlsbad, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 January 2013
“I cannot say enough good things about Savvy Interiors. I bought a house two years ago that I took from completely tuscan to completely transitional with the help of Susan and her team. They have the ability to make your "dream board" come to life! Susan is a master at mixing and matching prints, colors and textures. She has incredible resources for custom furnishings and build ins... all within budget. I am so proud of my house, and I get compliments from all my guests. This should say it all: I took pictures of my interior design to a favorite store and asked them to provide a wardrobe that complimented my house!”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 August 2014
“Hi Love working with Lori. I had a remodel done for my kitchen and bathroom and Lori was very helpful in choosing the right colors to match and everything to coordinate. When you are spending so much money remodeling I felt it was important to have someone like her. I absolutely love my remodel and get complements all the time. Lori is very talented and listens to her clients.”

“Shelley is extremely organized and professional. She works well combining her clients taste with her vision. She is creative and resourceful. She was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her services.”
ASR DESIGN STUDIO
Interior Designers in Carlsbad, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 August 2017
“Wow Ariel, or Ari, made me eat my words. My wife pushed us to hire this studio and I had a lot of reservations regarding if we even needed this type of services or what sort of difference would their services provide. Well, a few days later and our home has been transformed. She knew how to go to each room and provided valuable information and guidance from simply rearranging rooms to a complete renovation. She was able to understand our concerns with how we want our home to be comfortable for our two kids and two dogs, while also staying within our budget. My wife could probably write up a better review out there on the specifics but if there are any hesitant husbands(or people who don't understand the value of interior design) start with this studio first.”

“Kathy and her team created a an elegant and inviting interiors for our penthouse in downtown San Diego. Every room reflected the feel I requested. Every space enhanced the views.

“We interviewed multiple companies for a professional condo space (TI) that was added on. After careful consideration we choose Susie St John and team.

We together were able to implement them flawlessly. It exceeded our expectations. Thank you!!”

Interior Designer FAQs
Interior design services in 92008 may be offered in different ways, including hourly rates, fixed fees, or a percentage of the project’s total cost, which will vary depending on the project itself. Interior design costs can range from £50 to £200 per hour, or a fixed fee between 5% and 20% of the total project cost. The key thing is to be very clear about your budget and your scope from the start, to ensure your designer can advise you on what is achievable. And remember, their contacts will probably save you money. A contingency fund of 10-15% is also recommended, especially if open-ended structural work is involved.

  • Experience: Ask about the designer’s background, education, experience, and previous similar projects.
  • Design Process: Gain insights into the designer’s project approach, design philosophy, preferred style, and how they incorporate client preferences. Review their Houzz portfolio to evaluate their design style and compatibility with your tastes.

What’s the difference between interior designers and interior decorators?


These two closely related professions are often mistaken for the same thing, however, there are some significant differences to be aware of before deciding which to hire. An interior designer, sometimes known as an interior architect, can run full renovation and structural design projects, and will use specialised knowledge of interior architecture, construction systems and components, building regulations, materials and furnishings to arrive at your dream home design. Interior design companies are able to plan spaces and room functions down to the last detail, and can help design and renovate interiors, from initial planning phases to placing the last decorative accessory. A decorator on the other hand will typically be involved only in the aesthetic layer, the “look and feel” of a space, and won’t be able to assist in renovations that require structural work. Interior decorators normally come on board after all structural work is complete. So choose your Carlsbad, CA interior designer according to the type of work you need.

Why should I hire an interior designer in Carlsbad, CA?


They say life is what happens while you’re busy making plans. Some of us are just too preoccupied with a career and/or family to think about colour schemes, wallpaper, flooring and lighting. A professional interior designer in Carlsbad, CA can save you bags of time, stress and months, if not years, of living in a half-finished home. It’s their job to stay on top of the latest trends and to have contacts and visual references coming out of their ears. Interior designers can also save you money, by sourcing products via trade contacts or offering affordable alternatives to blowout iconic designs.

How do I choose the right Carlsbad, CA interior designer for my home?


Good design and visual inspiration are all around us. Start by searching for interior architects and interior designers in Carlsbad, CA on Houzz. Keep a lookout for images of rooms and features that you really like and save them to your Ideabooks to begin to develop an understanding of your own style and taste. If you notice that photos from the same interior design companies are popping up regularly then that is a good hint that they could be your perfect design match. You can feel most confident if you hire an interior designer or interior design company in Carlsbad, CA that has completed work similar to the look and feel that you desire, whether that is a mix-and-match lounge oozing mid-century modern style, a pale and interesting minimalist bedroom with shots of colour, or a beautiful space inspired by Scandinavian design.

You may want to check if your designer is a member of the Society of British and International Design (SBID) or The British Institute of Interior Design (BIID). Both are a benchmark of quality and reliability. And check if your interior designers can offer you the right type of service – some companies are design only, while others can oversee the whole project. If it is the latter that you seek, make sure any sub-contractors used are fully accredited and it is clear who they are supposed to report to. If late alterations are made to the plan, the contractor should receive a change order, thus minimising the risk of a dispute about what was and wasn’t agreed to after the start date.
