Featured Reviews for Interior Designers in Encinitas, CA

Ocean Drive Designs
Interior Designers in Encinitas, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 September 2021
“I highly recommend Marwan and Ocean Drive designs. He transformed our kitchen and the rest of our house into a beautiful space that we love to come home to; he listens better than most to his client's wants/needs and incorporates these into their design aesthetic. Marwan was very patient with us through the process, always willing to entertain our crazy ideas that at the end he made them a reality. He provided great 3D sketches which gave us a very good idea of what the end result was going to look like, helping visualize things. You won’t find a nicer and more ethical designer & contractor than Marwan. We highly recommend Ocean Drive Designs and will definitely use them for any future projects.”

KNC Design Group

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 February 2021
“After 25 years in the same home, my master bath was in definite need of a remodel. I am extremely grateful to have found Kara Clark to help me with the transformation. At the outset, Kara communicated the steps in her design process including timelines and fees so that there would be no confusion. And so, we began. Without judgment, Kara came in and surveyed the existing disaster. Then, using likings from my wish list, offered me two designs. Both were beautiful, but one was the clear choice. Presenting me with quality options, Kara also cheerfully made modifications in order to work within my budget. As a newbie to the design and remodel process, I had many questions and concerns as we went along. Kara handled these with patience, professionalism, and also sweet humor. She put me at ease, and made suggestions, as my contractor worked to put our plan into place. I could not be happier with my new bathroom! Kara worked with my taste, space, and budget to ensure a beautiful outcome. A phrase she repeated throughout our journey together was, “My goal is for you to love it.” I do love it. You will too.”

“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!!”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars16 November 2017
“Katy has quite simply changed my life for the better. I was amazed at how quickly she was able to come in and assess exactly what was need to turn my home into a comfortable, useable and stored space that I love coming home to. Before she even left I implemented some of her suggestions and found that everyday tasks like doing the laundry were so much easier. She really listened to what I was looking for and in a short amount of time created a custom design that we fell in love with. She provided us instant accessibility to colors and furnishing that fit our budget and style. My only regret is that I didn't hire her years ago. I could have spent all those years loving my space.”

“We asked for a few design suggestions for our dining room: We were contacted by a courteous & pleasant woman who gave us the following ideas. 1. Create a warmer atmosphere 2. Soften the echo 3. Overall finish of the diningroom The suggestions were all considered as they were out of the box ideas, reasonably priced changes & easy to complete. We would definitely use this company again.”

“Maegans' style and expertise is impecable. She really listened to what I want and created my dream home decor for a fraction of what I would have spent without her. She was always available to answer any questions and she even texted me options while she shopped. She designed and decorated three units in my four-unit craftsmen style home. The whole process was fun and exciting. I liked her work and professional demeanor so much that I am now having her design my business website. She is so talented!”

Interior Designer FAQs
Interior design services in Encinitas 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.
When considering hiring an interior designer, you can ask the following:
  • 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.
  • Scope of Services: Inquire about the interior designer’s services, including project management, material/furniture sourcing, and whether they offer full-service design.

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 Encinitas, CA interior designer according to the type of work you need.

Why should I hire an interior designer in Encinitas, 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 Encinitas, 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 Encinitas, 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 Encinitas, 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 Encinitas, 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.
