Living Room Design Professionals in Newport Beach, CA

“Before discovering Peggy from Dupuis Design, my experience with 2 prior "designers" was disappointing. First of all, Peggy is a pro. She understands how use layout to maximize views, while making certain the design fits the intended use. She redesigned our decks that we rarely used for the 12 years prior. Now they are a fun and comfortable place to hang out with friends and enjoy the formerly under appreciated ocean views. One of her best attributes is her ability to creatively modify relatively inexpensive decor and furniture and select only a few more expensive impact pieces to provide an overall luxurious feel to the space. Also, Peggy has a great attitude - she is professional and kind. Don't let her quiet disposition fool you - she is a tireless, fast, humble, and talented worker, who thankfully agreed to decorate the rest of our home, based on her incredible job with our decks.”

“Nathan was a huge help when we remodeled our home. We had very rough ideas on what we wanted and he was able to draw out plans and exact diagrams that the builders used to redesign our staircase, fireplace and kitchen. I love that the look of my home stands out. I will hire Nathan again for new projects.”

“I hired Anna to help us decorate 4 rooms in our new home (living and adjacent dining room, den, loft). She was a great listener, and fit our needs perfectly. We didn't need a full-service decorator to buy our furniture for us. However, we did need help picking out pieces that would work well together, and stretched us beyond the bland all-neutral palette that was our "comfort zone." We have been very happy with the results, and would recommend her highly!”

“Hired Lulu Designs as a designer for a remodel from the foundation up on a large single story home. Excellent and complete work from space planning, meeting handicap needs, elevation design of all rooms and cabinetry and interior decorating. Methodical, detail oriented and excellent interaction with the entire architectural, engineering and building team. Couldn't have been any better. This is a high end project in an exclusive gate guarded neighborhood and it's a standout! This is one talented, organized and delightful individual. How often does a husband say that about his wife's designer? She was even sensative to budgets.”

“Grace Blu Designs, Inc. was hired by my husband and I on the recommendation of a friend of a friend and we have never been happier. Rona and her staff did so much of the leg work for our project that I didn't have time for and saved me a lot of stressful hours and days pouring over samples of products. Our project included 3 bathroom remodels, a complete gut of our kitchen, flooring throughout the entire house, a new fireplace surround with built-ins, revamping of our staircase and of course, painting. Grace Blu Designs helped us with all of our choices - lighting, tile, cabinetry, paint and the furnishings. In a very collaborative effort, with Rona and her team, I was able to get the newly remodelled house that I had envisioned. Grace Blu's staff was thorough, courteous, helpful and so friendly. I would highly, highly recommend them to anyone looking for a young, professional staff who is on top of the latest design trends yet can design for anyone's taste. We are still working together on another project and when that is done, I will miss our time together!! Denise Quigley”

“Kristi recently completed designing our total home remodel. Words cannot describe how grateful my husband and I are to have hired Kristi as our designer! Kristi is a very knowledgable, professional, and likable person. We felt comfortable conveying to her our likes/dislikes and appreciated her expert advice. She was very conscience of our budget through out the entire process and communicated with us honestly. She was open to suggestions and most often her insight and vision was exactly the style we were pursing and EVEN BETTER! Each phase of our remodel truly was effortless and smooth because of Kristi's insight and awareness of what was needed to be done in a timely manner. She was always available to meet and answer our questions. Thank you, Kristi, for our beautiful well laid out, highly functional, and BEAUTIFUL home!”

“Bassman-Blaine is highly capable in staging furniture for a home for sale. The furniture and artwork they used to stage my house was of the highest quality and the designer and layouts they created were harmonious and in scale with the home's rooms. My business dealings with them were simple and easy, and they followed through with everything that they said they would. They listened to me and worked with me on every request I made. I would highly recommend them to anybody considering staging a high-end home for sale.”

“I am very happy with all aspects of Debbie Talianko's services. She is very professional and easy to work with, and did a wonderful job selecting window coverings, fabrics, rugs and paint colors for me. I would definitely consult with her again, and would not hesistate to recommend her to my friends!”

“Thank you Denise for working with us to incorporate our wishes and ideas into the remodel and interior design of our home. Your approach to interior design is practical as well as beautiful! Your thoughtful ideas have helped us stay in budget without sacrificing the look and feel of the interior. We highly recommend you for any upcoming remodel or interior design project!”

“Greg and Wendy Blackband have just nailed it down with their Coastal Bohemian approach that effortlessly blends a clean, neutral palette with eclectic, sophisticated accents to reflect the easy elegance of unpretentious coastal living. Blackband Design will appeal to people whose hearts and personalities pulsate for the stylishly and comfortable casual luxury their unique design exudes. Greg and Wendy create "beautiful comfort", with rich layers of textures, finishes and colors, luxurious textiles, and the blending of vintage or legacy elements to create readiness and surprise. Blackband definitely specializes in designing spaces that embrace their client's sweet spots by drawing from a wide range of styles and influences, all in the most beautiful and imaginative ways possible. By combining the classic with the unexpected, they create environments that are fresh and current, but also timeless and effortless. Blackband's 3000-sq.ft. showroom, located in Irvine, CA is a treasure chest of uniqueness, however, the treasure is easily one-half the price of other designers like Barclay Butera across town in Newport Beach. Hurry over, Greg is always there and is a great host! Rick Wagner”
