Featured Reviews for Interior Designers in San Diego, CA

Springfield Design
Interior Designers in San Diego, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 May 2013
“This home was my first large-scale project and I needed lots of guidance, but I hadn't been feeling any kind of connection with designers until I met Jaci. I knew within a short time that she had a vision of my dream home, without my even having to jump through hoops to get it across to her. I've never met someone so in sync with my thoughts, wishes and desires for a home that my son and I could live in. Not only did she come to the project with years of experience, inspirations, visions and professionalism (that would have been plenty for me!), but she infused our working relationship with fun, sparkling wit and personality that I just adore.... Not only do I appreciate what went into my home, thanks to Jaci, but anyone who spends time here is also impressed by what she's accomplished...aesthetically pleasing, inviting, the kind of home that lovingly wraps itself around me and my friends and family. "Love where you live, and live where you love" are words that I'd ascribe to Jaci's ability to meld her designs with a client's wishes. Oh, and p.s.....my home just keeps looking better and better every year!”
Shelley Sass Designs

“Shelley is extremely organized and professional. She works well combining her clients taste with her vision. She is creative and resourceful. She was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her services.”
Savvy Interiors
Interior Designers in San Diego, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 January 2013
“I cannot say enough good things about Savvy Interiors. I bought a house two years ago that I took from completely tuscan to completely transitional with the help of Susan and her team. They have the ability to make your "dream board" come to life! Susan is a master at mixing and matching prints, colors and textures. She has incredible resources for custom furnishings and build ins... all within budget. I am so proud of my house, and I get compliments from all my guests. This should say it all: I took pictures of my interior design to a favorite store and asked them to provide a wardrobe that complimented my house!”
JoliG Interiors & Designs
Interior Designers in San Diego, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 March 2018
“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!!”
Inplace Studio
Interior Designers in San Diego, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 November 2013
“INPLACE is fabulous! Allison Dorvieller and her team are incredible. They approach their business in a very thoughtful manner taking all of the clients needs into consideration. Allison has an incredible eye, great taste and an architectural approach that is a very rare find. I absolutely love my kitchen and the interior space planning and materials selection process was flawless. I found INPLACE to be extremely professional and meticulous with details. I would recommend them without reservation and can't imagine doing a project without them at the helm.”
Vanessa Foley Interiors
Interior Designers in San Diego, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 October 2022
“We have worked with Vanessa for several years, room by room (living room, family room, kitchen nook, guest room and master bedroom) redesigning and upgrading our home. Vanessa is a wonderful designer - she was able to get a bead very quickly on what I wanted, our style and the need to accommodate a rough and tumble household full of boys. She brought fresh ideas, translated our ideas and coalesced everything into coordinated design choices . . . but not too many which can be overwhelming. Vanessa is also an excellent communicator, kept us apprised of status, followed up when she needed information, always with a smile on her face. We couldn't be more pleased with Vanessa's partnership and we would definitely work with her again and again.”

“We asked for a few design suggestions for our dining room: We were contacted by a courteous & pleasant woman who gave us the following ideas. 1. Create a warmer atmosphere 2. Soften the echo 3. Overall finish of the diningroom The suggestions were all considered as they were out of the box ideas, reasonably priced changes & easy to complete. We would definitely use this company again.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 November 2017
“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!”

Interior Designer FAQs
Interior design services in 92129 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.

  • Experience: Ask about the designer’s background, education, experience, and previous similar projects.

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 San Diego, CA interior designer according to the type of work you need.

Why should I hire an interior designer in San Diego, 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 San Diego, 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 San Diego, 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 San Diego, 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 San Diego, 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.
