“I own a furniture showroom in Little Italy and I have had the great privilege working alongside Christopher Lee on a couple of projects. The things i find truly admirable is his attention to details and a true pleasure to work with. I loved his unique designs and use of color. I was very impressed with him that i have given his name to several clients tat are looking for an interior designer. We look forward working with Christopher Lee on future projects.”

“This home was my first large-scale project and I needed lots of guidance, but I hadn't been feeling any kind of connection with designers until I met Jaci. I knew within a short time that she had a vision of my dream home, without my even having to jump through hoops to get it across to her. I've never met someone so in sync with my thoughts, wishes and desires for a home that my son and I could live in. Not only did she come to the project with years of experience, inspirations, visions and professionalism (that would have been plenty for me!), but she infused our working relationship with fun, sparkling wit and personality that I just adore.... Not only do I appreciate what went into my home, thanks to Jaci, but anyone who spends time here is also impressed by what she's accomplished...aesthetically pleasing, inviting, the kind of home that lovingly wraps itself around me and my friends and family. "Love where you live, and live where you love" are words that I'd ascribe to Jaci's ability to meld her designs with a client's wishes. Oh, and p.s.....my home just keeps looking better and better every year!”

“Coleen brings 'magic' to the smallest of projects to the extended remodeling ones! She has an eye for color, texture, and takes my personal style into consideration for fabulous results! I am relieved that forging through color swatches at paint stores is a thing of the past for me I was overwhelmed with window covering options in competitor advertisements, and after consulting with Coleen. she helped me make the best choice for my tastes and lifestyle!! I am thrilled with the results!!!! She saved me $$$$$$”

“We have enjoyed working with interior designer Susan Spath of Kern & Co. to design and build custom TV cabinets for their demanding clientele. We continue to create custom furniture pieces together that are beautiful in design, of the highest quality and with the functionality that suits the need of their clients. We appreciate the professionalism and creativity she and her design team provide that go into every piece we build. I highly recommend Susan Spath and Kern & Co. for their exceptional interior design and their selection of fine, handmade furniture.”

“Victoria managed our remodel of La Sierra 306 from design to rental-ready. She brought in ideas, including taking out and moving walls that opened the living space in a way that I had not imagined was possible. She introduced products that I did not know existed and made special accommodations for our family's treasures. We now have a delightful and sought-after condo with which we are very pleased. We could not have done this on our own. Thank you, Victoria! Our project was big. Victoria was cheerful throughout, oversaw contractors so that work was completed according to schedule, and ended within 15% of her initial total cost.”

“Andrea is a wonderful and well rounded designer who provides excellent service to her clients. She has a way of beautifully mixing vintage, modern and classic pieces together to truly transform a space. We are always excited for the opportunity to collaborate with her on projects and the results are spectacular each and every time. ”

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 interiors 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 San Diego, CA interior designer according to the type of work you need.

Why should I hire an interior designer in San Diego, 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 San Diego, 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 and decorators can also save you money, sourcing products via trade contacts or offering affordable alternatives to blowout iconic designs.

How do I choose the right San Diego, 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 San Diego, 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 San Diego, 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.

How much does an interior designer in San Diego, CA cost?


Some interior design companies and interior decorators will charge an hourly consultancy rate, particularly if you can’t clearly define scope of the brief. Others prefer to take a percentage of the total project cost, which can vary from 10-20%. 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.

What are some of the important questions to ask San Diego, CA interior designers or interior decorators?


  • What relevant professional interior design qualifications do you have?
  • Are you a member of BIID or SBID?
  • What will be your level of involvement in the project? Are you design-only or do you offer project management too?
  • Do you offer a free initial consultation?
  • Will I be able to see materials samples as well as illustrations and a schedule of work at the outset?
  • Have any of your previous interior design projects involved making structural alterations to an existing property?
  • Which sub-contractors do you intend to use and why? Can I see examples of their previous work?
  • How often will we be meeting to discuss progress and how many site inspections will you carry out?
  • Is your quote fixed and VAT-inclusive? What is not included?
  • What is the proposed completion date and what happens if you do not meet that?
  • Do you have professional indemnity insurance, public liability insurance and employers’ liability insurance?
  • What happens if there is a dispute regarding the designs or the quality of workmanship?
