House of Hive Design Co
Interior Designers in La Jolla, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars31 October 2023
“"Working with House of Hive for our kitchen, dining, and living room remodel was an absolute delight. From the very beginning, they made sure we were well-informed every step of the way. Their attention to detail was remarkable, and they truly emphasized the crucial aspects required for the functionality of our space. The result was nothing short of fantastic. Our once ordinary rooms have been transformed into a seamless, elegant, and highly functional living area that exceeds our wildest expectations. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and the service provided by this exceptional team and are excited to see it go into construction. We wholeheartedly recommend them for any interior design project."”
Wanderlust Home Interiors Inc.

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 September 2020
“I can't say enough awesome things about Wanderlust Home Interiors. When COVID 19 hit in the Spring, like many working mom's I became home office bound indefinitely. To say that my home office space looked like a messy college dorm room is an understatement. It was crowded and disorganized and I lacked the creativity to make it look better. I needed design help. That is when Katie and her team stepped in. Katie completely redesigned the space, curated some beautiful pieces (i.e. furniture, artwork) and she made it very affordable! The entire feel of the room is so relaxing, bright and open now. I feel so much more productive now sitting at my desk. And, she did all of this virtually! This space is now my favorite room in the house! Katie is extremely talented and works within your budget. If you are looking for a complete redesign of any room in your house or just some simple design suggestions, check out Wanderlust Home Interiors!”

“I was most impressed with how quickly Rebecca learned my aesthetic tastes, whether it was furniture design, colors or compatibility with what I chose to bring from Las Vegas. When I purchased a 1200 sf condo in La Jolla, I still resided in a 4500 sf home in Las Vegas. The condo needed a complete renovation to take full advantage of its potential, including the kitchen, one bath, increasing the door widths, and removing, moving and thickening the walls to add a sound barrier. I am disabled, so there were special considerations for the disability. In addition, Rebecca navigated the permit process without needing me to be involved, and managed the construction crew, making sure that I got what we had discussed. I was pleased with her ability to select contractors and subcontractors who produced quality results. This long distance project went flawlessly because of a number of factors. Rebecca found a way to obtain the needed information whether it was from me, the title company, my agent or the condo manager. Rebecca knew when she needed my input and found a way to get it whether it was flying to see me or sending packages for my approval. I was constantly impressed with how much Rebecca knew about me, even with only a couple of face to face meetings. Anybody using Rebecca’s services will be impressed with her knowledge and resources. I could not be more pleased with the outcome.”

JoliG Interiors & Designs
Interior Designers in La Jolla, 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!!”
Savvy Interiors
Interior Designers in La Jolla, 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!”
Ocean Drive Designs
Interior Designers in La Jolla, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 September 2021
“I highly recommend Marwan and Ocean Drive designs. He transformed our kitchen and the rest of our house into a beautiful space that we love to come home to; he listens better than most to his client's wants/needs and incorporates these into their design aesthetic. Marwan was very patient with us through the process, always willing to entertain our crazy ideas that at the end he made them a reality. He provided great 3D sketches which gave us a very good idea of what the end result was going to look like, helping visualize things. You won’t find a nicer and more ethical designer & contractor than Marwan. We highly recommend Ocean Drive Designs and will definitely use them for any future projects.”

M. Swabb Interior Design
Interior Designers in La Jolla, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 January 2013
“Maegans' style and expertise is impecable. She really listened to what I want and created my dream home decor for a fraction of what I would have spent without her. She was always available to answer any questions and she even texted me options while she shopped. She designed and decorated three units in my four-unit craftsmen style home. The whole process was fun and exciting. I liked her work and professional demeanor so much that I am now having her design my business website. She is so talented!”

Interior Designer FAQs
Interior design services in La Jolla 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.

  • 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 La Jolla, CA interior designer according to the type of work you need.

Why should I hire an interior designer in La Jolla, 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 La Jolla, 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 La Jolla, 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 La Jolla, 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 La Jolla, 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.
