Review for Synthesis Interiors & Color

Rachelle was a wonderful asset helping us make design decisions for a remodel of our downstairs kitchen, half-bath & living/dining space. Our place is very small - about 320 usable sq ft for the common living areas downstairs - and Rachelle was great in helping us to pick out colors and materials that came together to make a calm, beautiful, eco space. Sometimes she helped us make decisions between things we had already sussed out on our own, and sometimes she presented new ideas that we wouldn't have thought of on our own. Plus, working with Rachelle was really enjoyable. She helped us relax and enjoy the process and helped us have confidence in our choices (some of which were a bit unusual, like using seconds tile on the bathroom floor and kitchen backsplash). She is also really understanding of working on a budget - we used her mostly as a sounding board, but I'm sure she'd be great managing a project as well. After talking with 2 other designers, I appreciated that she's not a "fussy" designer who doesn't get that real life happens inside the space that you're creating (we have 2 small kids, and she totally understood that that meant we needed durable materials and that there would need to be toy storage always). We love the space she helped us create and we loved working with Rachelle. Once we're ready to do our upstairs, I know we'll be calling her for advice!
