McRae Lambert Dunn
Interior Designers in Portola Hills, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 January 2013
“McRae Lambert & Dunn provided a full-service interior design for the residence we worked on together. They are a wonderful design team to work with - very professional. They are confident in their work, and conscientious of the client. They responded quickly and efficiently to design changes during construction. Their drawings were very organized and complete. It was a pleasure to work with them, and we look forward to another project with them in the future.”

Strand Interiors

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 August 2021
“I do not have enough amazing things to say about Kristin (owner/stylist) of Strand Interiors. After Covid hit, sitting in my badly decorated and poorly lit house for months was truly getting the best of me. I was finishing up work before maternity leave and needed a positive change to get me excited about being home for an undisclosed amount of time - I wanted to LOVE where I was and I was far from it. I found Strand Interiors on Instagram, started following immediately and loved what I saw. I reached out to Kristin to get more information and she immediately blew me away with her kindness and willingness to help. She sent me a quick questionnaire to get started and feel out the looks I was going for and boy did she hit the nail on the head! She was so personable and accessible for my questions and feedback. The fact that she worked so well with my budget AND got me the exact look I was going for was astonishing to me. I can truly say that not only do I LOVE where I live now, but I am truly proud to have guests over (and get compliments almost every time). I am not someone that can put furniture/looks together well on my own and needed the guidance and advice of a true professional - which is exactly what Kristin is. I would give 100 stars if possible and have recommended her to many friends and colleagues. Thank you so much Kristin for making my home beautiful and perfect for ME!”

Lisa Benbow of LCB Interior Design
Interior Designers in Portola Hills, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 July 2014
“Lisa was delightful to work with - her ideas were creative and unique, she always provided numerous design options and communicated frequently about the status and timing of pieces. A once useless room in our home is now an inviting, beautiful and functional space where we love to relax. Lisa went above and beyond my expectations - when she installed all of our pieces, she also added some additional items to enhance and finish off the space. We love our new space!”

“"We called Sher in at the very last moment. We had fired our previous home stager with only 3 days left until photography was to be done and the house put on the market. Sher came in and determined what things of ours could stay and what must be replaced with furniture that would show off the house better. She took measurements, contacted a high-end furniture rental company, and selected what we needed for 6 rooms in our home within 48 hours. She also purchased accessories that gave a finishing touch and a lived-in feel. The photographer showed up a day later, and between what Sher had artfully done, and the photography, it made our house look worth 3 times more than what we were asking for it. We had 4 good offers in 3 days and we could not have asked for anything more! Sher is a pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend her for her design services and for home staging for sale. You will be highly pleased with her results.””
Nate Fischer Interiors

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 February 2013
“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.”
D+Lena Design Inc.

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 December 2015
“We hired Elena to design our Showroom at Las Vegas Furniture Market. Elena was consultative from beginning to end. She took our ideas and expanded on them in a great way. She presented a great vision of style and then provided all plans for construction elements for the installation as well as sources for our General Contractor to source all materials. We reconfigured wall structures, new flooring and paint scheme. There was ability for optional pieces and specific fixtures for millwork fabricating. She has been fantastic and would recommend her for design engagements.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars16 December 2019
“I first hired Mark Stocker to help design portions of my home. I was so delighted - - he was able to intuitively grasp exactly what I was looking for. I recently moved and Mark is again helping me, but this time with an entire remodel & design. Mark has fabulous taste and his professionalism is so appreciated. I can't recommend him enough! PS My new renovation is expected to be completed in May, 2020.”

Interior Designer FAQs
Interior design services in Portola Hills 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.
When considering hiring an interior designer, you can ask the following:
  • Experience: Ask about the designer’s background, education, experience, and previous similar projects.
  • Design Process: Gain insights into the designer’s project approach, design philosophy, preferred style, and how they incorporate client preferences. Review their Houzz portfolio to evaluate their design style and compatibility with your tastes.
  • Scope of Services: Inquire about the interior designer’s services, including project management, material/furniture sourcing, and whether they offer full-service design.
  • Budget and Timeline: Discuss your project budget and the designers capability to work within it. Ask how they handle unexpected delays & additional costs.
  • Testimonials: Seek references or testimonials from past clients to assess client satisfaction. You can find these easily on Houzz from other homeowners that have used this pro.

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 Portola Hills, CA interior designer according to the type of work you need.

Why should I hire an interior designer in Portola Hills, 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 Portola Hills, 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 Portola Hills, 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 Portola Hills, 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 Portola Hills, 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.
