“Courtney was incredible to work with, she communicated everything throughout the entire project. She really helped us with our vision and collaborated our ideas with her effectively! And to top it off, the work she designed in our kitchen and powder bathroom is everything we could have dreamed of and more!”
AA Design Firm

“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 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!”

“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!!”

“Jennifer brings a sophisticated yet timeless flair to her design work. I love how she finds furniture pieces that you don't see anywhere else and fit the design esthetic so beautifully. She also knows what life is really like with kids and makes a home livable AND stunning. That mix is very hard to find. Can't recommend her enough!”
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!”

Authentik Home
Interior Designers in Orange County, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 November 2022
“My husband and I bought a new home in a new state. It was more sqft than we had ever thought we would own. After the purchase was complete we hired a contractor to do a kitchen remodel and we realized there was more to be done to the house than we had originally thought and though I had an idea of what I wanted I was feeling major decision fatigue. That's when I called Andrea. She was an absolute life saver. She asked for samples of what we were sure of, asked to be linked to my pinterest boards and we had a quick meeting to go over the things I was stuck on. Our next meeting she not only picked out the 4 things (the whole house paint color, a bedroom paint color, first floor flooring & backsplash) I had asked her to but she also walked me through other pieces that we hadn't thought of like lighting fixtures, hardware for the kitchen, a kitchen faucet, a sink and stain for the wood banister that would help complete the look we were going for. She supported my color choice and want for very bold kitchen cabinet colors and picked a backsplash and flooring that paired incredibly well. She talked out every concern with me and was a gentle guiding hand as we discussed where and how to carry the theme through the house. We hadn't discussed countertops too much but when it came time to pick those for my kitchen she was there for me to talk to and again gently guided me to tops that worked perfectly with the aesthetic. I do not know what I would have done without her help. And she did it all without having been inside the new house!! We hope to use her again when we can afford to a bathroom remodel! I would recommend Authentik Home to anyone looking to refresh or remodel their space.”

“Kristi recently completed designing our total home remodel. Words cannot describe how grateful my husband and I are to have hired Kristi as our designer! Kristi is a very knowledgable, professional, and likable person. We felt comfortable conveying to her our likes/dislikes and appreciated her expert advice. She was very conscience of our budget through out the entire process and communicated with us honestly. She was open to suggestions and most often her insight and vision was exactly the style we were pursing and EVEN BETTER! Each phase of our remodel truly was effortless and smooth because of Kristi's insight and awareness of what was needed to be done in a timely manner. She was always available to meet and answer our questions. Thank you, Kristi, for our beautiful well laid out, highly functional, and BEAUTIFUL home!”

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.
