Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 October 2018
“We hired Madison Nicole Design to do the interior design our new home in Santa Barbara. She did a wonderful job! Everything from the tile, plumbing fixtures, wall color, furniture, rugs to the filling all the built-in shelves with fun and creative accessories! She was very sensitive to our budget and the end result is amazing. Every time we have guests over the comment how beautiful our home is!”
Jennifer Grey Color Specialist & Interior Design
Interior Designers in El Rio, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 March 2014
“I have been working with Jennifer from The Old Painted Cottage since 2011. I had been a faithful blog reader (http://theoldpaintedcottage.com/) and admirer of her style for a long time before getting the courage to contact her to see if she would agree to a design consultation to help me revamp my living room. My husband and I had recently moved into a 1960's ranch - that still looked like it was from the 1960s! I was so frustrated with trying to "design" my house on a budget and getting nowhere – I desperately wanted and needed help. I kind of knew what I wanted to do and the styles I admired, but I had no idea whatsoever how to create it on a realistic budget in my own home. I hired Jennifer to teach me how to beautify my living room. And oh boy - I cannot say enough about how absolutely wonderful it was (and has been since then) to work with Jennifer! After sending her the dimensions of my living area and images of living rooms I loved (many of them here on Houzz), we scheduled and had a phone consultation and OH.MY.GOSH! Jennifer's energy, excitement, ability to translate what I wanted to the redesign of my space - and all within my budget - was incredible! One of the most amazing things about Jennifer is that she patiently taught me many interior design secrets that I never knew but have since been able to apply to my whole home (e.g., hanging drapes higher than the top of the window, displaying décor items in threes, adding pops of complementary color, etc.) Needless to say, it is 2014 and Jennifer has let me hire her to design almost every room in my house! Since 2011, I’ve had two babies and she helped me design both nurseries. Jennifer also helped me revamp my master bedroom, TV room, and the sunroom! Currently, we are doing a whole house consult on a little lake cabin my husband and I recently purchased. Overall, Jennifer is a consummate professional, her fees are ridiculously reasonable, and she is able to “get into a space” and transform it simply by looking at before photos. Jennifer is a gem! I could go on and on about Jennifer…(and I hope to meet her in person one day soon!)”
Antoinette Designs
Interior Designers in El Rio, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 April 2013
“I hired Luxxe Designs when I bought a home in a new housing development. I literally moved in with nothing but a bed so Antoinette designed my home from top to bottom including paint, furniture, artwork and landscaping. Not only is my house gorgeous, but Antoinette is a tremendous professional woman who is a pleasure to work with. I'm told on a regular basis that I have the nicest home in the development!”
Neela Woodard Design, LLC
Interior Designers in El Rio, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 February 2014
“I hired Neela to turn my small dark family room into a room my family wanted to use. Now it's the most used room in the house- after the kitchen, of course! Neela helped transform the room into the perfect family room for MY family. She listened to what I wanted, used family-friendly fabrics as I requested, and placed artistic touches throughout. Now it's a useable space- not just a beautiful space I don't want to touch as many "designed" rooms can be. My husband, son and I love the room. Now we're working in my dining room. After working with another designer (whose finished product I love but whose process I had problems with), I realize how Neela's organized, responsive process was crucial for me as a working mom.”

AA Design Firm
Interior Designers in El Rio, 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.”
Andrea Schumacher Interiors
Interior Designers in El Rio, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 October 2012
“We are working with Andrea on our new home. We have been very pleased working with her. While her designs are beautiful and unique, she is also great at working to customize designs to end on compromises between my husband and myself. We were initially overwhelmed with the process of hiring a designer, but Andrea quickly set us at ease. She also was completely willing to accommodate our desire to break the process down into many small projects--which is exactly what we needed! We would highly recommend her services!”
Pacific Interior Design Group

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 June 2016
“When my husband and I met Denise owner of Pacific Design Group, we knew immediately that she was the designer for us. She was so confident in her knowledge, but also open to listening to our ideas and what our lifestyle is all about. She immediately went to work putting together samples, color schemes and her terrific ideas on the best design for the space. She is always open to listening to your ideas and concerns and is never bothered if you don't like something. She is always interested in implementing your taste with superior design We have built many homes and redecorated several properties, and without a doubt Denise and her team at Pacific Design was the easiest most reliable, professional, group of people we have ever worked with. She cares about your home as much as you do and wants it to be a reflection of you. She creates a beautiful home that is not only comfortable and livable but timeless. No matter what your project is... as small as replacing carpet or repainting to a full remodel there is only one person to go to -- Denise at Pacific Design Group.”

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

Why should I hire an interior designer in El Rio, 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 El Rio, 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 El Rio, 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 El Rio, 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 El Rio, 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 El Rio, 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 El Rio, 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?
