“We hired Elena to design our Showroom at Las Vegas Furniture Market. Elena was consultative from beginning to end. She took our ideas and expanded on them in a great way. She presented a great vision of style and then provided all plans for construction elements for the installation as well as sources for our General Contractor to source all materials. We reconfigured wall structures, new flooring and paint scheme. There was ability for optional pieces and specific fixtures for millwork fabricating. She has been fantastic and would recommend her for design engagements.”

“Jessica was fantastic to work with! I plan on working with her again. Jessica was very thorough when she was discovering what I wanted and needed. She has an eye for simplistic beauty. This is what I wanted and she designed that for me. Not only did she design; Jessica found great vendors who were reliable, likable and reasonable. My kitchen remodel is just what I wanted.”

“I knew I wanted my home to finally look good after such a long time sitting with bare walls and furniture that wasn’t “me.” I found Michelle and although I never saw myself as someone who could afford a designer, I instantly felt at ease with her and knew that I made a decision I only wish I had made long ago!! Michelle is super professional and uber talented. Within a few short meetings and quick screen shares, she blew me away with how much she KNEW my styles and preferences. I was able to then sit back and watch my space transform into a dream house. I am so excited to have people over now, whereas before I’d feel self conscious. My house is now an extension of me and my style. She took pieces I already had and loved in my home and elevated them to a new level, while bringing in a mix of new and old that gave me one of those “Pinterest worthy” homes. Highly highly recommended. Can’t wait for my best project with her!!”

“Michelle has been helping us decorate our new house since we moved in. She has been great with finding out our personal style, making professional suggestions and bringing our ideas to life. If we were not quiet sure of the look we were going for, she was always good at offering a few options and the results exceeded our expectations. We have asked her to come back and do more!”
Alchemy Designs Inc.
Interior Designers in Rancho Santa Margarita, 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!”

“Vision interiors is the most professional company I have ever worked with. Their designs are stunning to say the least. Their designs are personally tailored to your unique desin style. They are extremely creative and picked out pieces for my home that I never would have considered or been able to find on my own, but worked out perfectly. What's more, they are punctual and well-priced! I couldn't recommend this company more!”

Interior Designer FAQs
Interior design services in Rancho Santa Margarita 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 Rancho Santa Margarita, CA interior designer according to the type of work you need.

Why should I hire an interior designer in Rancho Santa Margarita, 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 Rancho Santa Margarita, 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 Rancho Santa Margarita, 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 Rancho Santa Margarita, 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 Rancho Santa Margarita, 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.
