Modern Weekend Consultations, Online Consultations Interior Designers in Santa Monica, CA

“Can’t put into words how happy I am with our interior designer Amber Sokolowski! Her creativity and intellect superseded all my expectations. I always appreciated a well designed home but never realized or understood the hard work that goes into it! I’m a mother of 2 under 5 and I am so grateful for her ability to accommodate our family needs but still keep it stylish and functional. Would I do this again?!? Definitely!!! Only if Amber is available.”

“Amy Peltier Inc (and specifically Marina Kelly my lead designer) were incredible! The company is transparent about detail and the process involved from a financial and logistical standpoint. (And believe me this is quite important as there is a lot of waiting involved for pieces to come in, etc!) I’m terms of style, Marina met me exactly where I was and presented exceptionally tasteful and lasting pieces that completely met my expectations - and went beyond . Marina listened to my preferences and kept all my design cues aligned to come up with a beautiful space. I would hire this firm again and again. Also, as a plug, I had some painting and wallpapering done and these contractors were also exceptional and entirely professional.”

“Ava and Arlene have proven to be the one constant, stabilizing force of our home renovation in Studio City. Our project has been a nightmare. We've been through 3 general contractors, countless subs and trades hired and fired, shoddy workmanship and surprise issues leading to costly re-do's not only twice but sometimes yet again. A&A Design has been with us from the beginning and never wavered. They've held our hands and encouraged us to continue and fight the depression of disasters. They've brought in tradespeople to save us from incompetence and the frequent case of workers gone missing. Their scope is all encompassing from interior to exterior, fabrics to lighting, custom millwork and sourcing of everything from furniture to fixtures. All of this achieved by Ava and Arlene with kindness, obvious experience, informed design choices and suggestions in a relaxed yet competent professional manner. They truly have been our rock through a very difficult project of nearly 2 years. Finally back in our home, we are able to enjoy and appreciate the many beautiful, enhanced and more functional surroundings the designers guidance has afforded our new, improved lifestyle. Sophisticated yet subtle, understated while elegant, playful textures and patterns cohabit with clean lines and gentle curves or geometrics. They are good. They know their stuff and they listen. The relationship is one of mutual respect and working together while maintaining focus toward achieving positive result. We are fortunate to have found and worked with Ava and Arlene, and while it will sound cliche, we could never have made it through these past 20 months without them. Our home is so much better for the knowledge, vision and persistence both designers have provided. We can't thank you enough and are most grateful for everything you've done for and with us. You both have earned that hummingbird cake!”
