AA Design Firm
Interior Designers in Lake Forest, 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.”

“When we decided it was time to move, Belmont Design Group came to our home and gave us a detailed report of recommendations on how best to stage our home in order to sell quickly. They helped us every step of the process by sending us links on what items to purchase, personally shopping for items needed and responding immediately by text and phone when I needed their advice on the purchases I was making. They also brought in beautiful rugs, artwork, and decorative pieces from their inventory for the staging. And once we had the home decluttered and our homework completed, Belmont Design Group did all the staging for us in a timely manner. Our home received multiple offers just three days after going on the market! I highly recommend their services and designers.”

“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!!”
Alchemy Designs Inc.
Interior Designers in Lake Forest, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 July 2023
“I referred Alchemy to assist my client in a whole house remodel/addition in Huntington Beach. I was responsible for the plans and permit, with general placement of interior fixtures. They did the final appearances adjusting layouts, spaces, and the accompanying fixtures (plumbing, tile, flooring, lights, cabinets, colors, furniture, and decorations). An additional challenge to this project was meeting the needs to make the whole house accessible to a motorized wheelchair: ADA compliant. It was a real surprise to see the changes: it was how the space makes you feel when you're in it and thy nailed it for the clients tastes and function, along with their interest in entertaining and assisting their disabled family member. It's art combined with function. Well done!”

27 Diamonds Interior Design

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!”

Megan Crane Designs, Inc.
Interior Designers in Lake Forest, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 May 2014
“I hired Megan Crane Designs to help with remodeling / interior design ideas for a newly acquired home in Newport Beach that needed some updating. This involved the living room (including new furniture) and renovation of a powder room, among other things. Not only were Megan's ideas completely in sync with the look I was going for (mid-Century modern), but she worked within our suggested budget and was always responsive when any follow-up was required. She is a consummate professional, an absolute delight to work with and an excellent designer. She has a terrific eye and "gets it" the first time. I would recommend her without hesitation.”

Interior Designer FAQs
Interior design services in Lake Forest 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 Lake Forest, CA interior designer according to the type of work you need.

Why should I hire an interior designer in Lake Forest, 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 Lake Forest, 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 Lake Forest, 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 Lake Forest, 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 Lake Forest, 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.
