Coastal Female Owned Interior Designers in Santa Monica, CA

“Hire the Hive Home team, and in addition to a result that you’ll love, you’ll have fun along the way! I did a gut kitchen remodel when I first moved into my home over 30 years ago, and so I was loath to admit that it was due for an update. While I dreaded the prospect (the cost, the stress, the dust EVERYWHERE!), the accumulating cost of repairs got to the point where I knew I had to bite the bullet on a full reno. When researching local designers, my key goal was to find someone with the skill to design a modern functional kitchen while honoring the architecture of my 1920s Spanish Revival home. I hired Devon and Jess based on the strength of a kitchen remodel they designed for a 1910s Craftsman that struck the prefect balance between modern function and historic charm. I’m now happily on the other end of a renovation project that was a complete joy. Jess and Devon work together seamlessly, complementing each other’s skills and enhancing each other’s ideas. They took my must-haves and challenges, and gave me a kitchen that is exactly what I asked for, while also something I never could have imagined on my own. The added bonus is that, dust be damned, the process was a delight.”

“I picked Michelle Lord Interiors after reading her reviews on houzz.com. From our first meeting I liked her and I have no regrets going with her! She had what I was looking for – she was timely, flexible, and accommodating, which was great for my unpredictable schedule. She was professional but personable and immediately made me feel comfortable expressing my likes and dislikes. She knew all the places to shop within several different price ranges and how to navigate through everything, which again was perfect for me since I was new to the area. She had many unique ideas while still encouraging my own style to come through. She was kind and honest and was able to work within my budget while making my home exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend Michelle Lord Interiors to anyone!”
