Jodi Fleming Design
Interior Designers in Orange County, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 December 2015
“Jodi Fleming's work is the definition of perfection. She truly cares about each client and goes above and beyond to ensure the finished project is exactly what the client had envisioned. I have known Jodi and her team for many years and she has worked with my family in five different homes. I can honestly say every person that has stepped foot in each one has been amazed at the beauty and the detail of her work. I would HIGHLY recommend her services to anyone who is looking for a place that not only feels like home, but is envied by everyone who steps inside!”
AA Design Firm
Interior Designers in Orange County, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 July 2015
“Not only does Ava and Arlene have impeccable design taste. They will handle everything from the idea phase, to hiring the proper General Contractor, subs, over seeing the entire process and being present at the job site during the work. They did everything from A to Z. They made redecorating my home a simple breeze. From providing me my options and giving me the pros and cons of each option with various cost estimates made it easy for me to make a comfortable informed decision on every step of the process. They are extremely flexible with their service. Their contractors are also professional and very neat. They clean up after every job and make the process very convenient. The outcome turned out better than I expected and I am a very satisfied customer.”

“I recently became a homeowner and knew that I wanted a certain look for my living area but needed help in putting it all together. I wanted feminine, yet functional and using a decorative plate as inspiration, the Divas nailed it and delivered! My daughter and I love coming home and retreating in our glamorous space. Thank you Divas!!”

27 Diamonds Interior Design
Interior Designers in Orange County, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 October 2012
“I hired Anna to help us decorate 4 rooms in our new home (living and adjacent dining room, den, loft). She was a great listener, and fit our needs perfectly. We didn't need a full-service decorator to buy our furniture for us. However, we did need help picking out pieces that would work well together, and stretched us beyond the bland all-neutral palette that was our "comfort zone." We have been very happy with the results, and would recommend her highly!”
McKee & Company
Interior Designers in Orange County, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 June 2014
“I used Tracey and Brent McKee 10 years ago when we built and furnished a new home and I have continued to use their services to update the look of my home - furnishings, accessories, paint, carpet, etc. They are absolutely amazing! I had gone through 2 designers before I came upon the McKee's. What a blessing to find them! They are out of the box creative, they listen to their clients needs and wants and they have exceptional sources in furniture, fabrics and accessories. They helped us with every facet of our new home construction - not just the furniture and accessories. We showed them a magazine photo of they style we wanted and they delivered to perfection. I cannot say enough great things about them. They created a home for us that we absolutely love. I love going into their store also. It is amazingly beautiful and it is all the work of Tracey McKee! She is one very talented lady - and her husband, Brent is as well! Plus, they are very nice people!”

Interior Designer FAQs
Interior design services in Orange County 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.
  • Budget and Timeline: Discuss your project budget and the designers capability to work within it. Ask how they handle unexpected delays & additional costs.
  • Testimonials: Seek references or testimonials from past clients to assess client satisfaction. You can find these easily on Houzz from other homeowners that have used this pro.

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

Why should I hire an interior designer in Orange County, 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 Orange County, 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 Orange County, 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 Orange County, 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 Orange County, 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.
