Universal Design in Anoka.

“Building a house is one of the most exciting, stressful, costly and memorable things one can do in a lifetime. Picking your designer is your first crucial decision. Emily makes the process incredibly pleasurable. She has the education and experience to make her great. However, it is her natural ability to see beauty that makes her exceptional. Emily has this incredible ability to help you see the vision which is hard for us first timers or novices out there. Emily takes your idea and stratifies it. She pushes you just enough so you take comfortable risks and gently steers you from regrettable mistakes. She is remarkable. One of the most important elements Emily brings is advocacy. During my build when we ran into problems, my builders/contractors would occasionally push me into solutions that were easiest or cheapest for them. Emily would not allow it. She would rectify the issue and provide solutions that we all agreed on and most importantly I was happy with. This makes her worth her weight in gold. Emily has everything you want and need in a designer. She is experienced, talented, diversified, organized, professional and truly a joy. You will have hundreds of decisions when building a home, Emily should be your first.”

“Becky has such a great eye and knew exactly what I wanted for my new apartment! She was able to find things that would brighten up the room and also stay within my budget. I would highly recommend her to help design any space!”

“Angie is professional, knowledgeable, and very resourceful. She works within your budget, asks the right questions, and takes your basic ideas and turns them into a beautifully finished home. She will work on any size project and adds tremendous value to any remodeling project.”

“Vela Creative does incredible design work, with an intuitive ability to understand exactly what you're looking for. After moving across the country, my husband and I were looking to renovate our condo. Kimberly was professional and easy to communicate with. She quickly understood our style and goals and provided a solution that was individualized and artful. We had so much fun with the process, it (almost) made us want to move again.”

“I worked with Abby of Happy Interriors for a design of the main level of our home. She developed a floor plan, selected furniture, paint colors, fixtures, kitchen door pulls, window treatments, etc. Abby was outstanding - she listened and really understood what we hoped to achieve in our home, and created a design we absolutely love. Her service was outstanding from start to finish, which included a mock-up and modifications to the design, purchasing, delivery and installation. Happy Interiors' pricing was also extremely reasonable - they charge a flat fee based on the rooms you are working on. I would highly recommend this company and specifically Abby.”

“I have worked with LiLu Interiors and Lisa Peck on numerous project, both remodels and new homes for several years. Lisa is a very talented interior designer with great attention to detail and always delivers excellent design solutions on budget; she is an wonderful team collaborator. I would highly recommend Lisa to any friend or client looking for exception interior design services.”

“I am thoroughly pleased with my experience with Vivid Interior. The service is excellent - knowledgable and talented. They were great in helping with my design projects, and I am so happy with the work they did on my home. My home is complex, and they handled it with ease and came up with very innovative solutions. I get compliments all the time and I have passed their name on to friends and family. I highly recommend them.”

“Worked directly with Ammar and it was a great experience. We were refurnishing our living room completely after a connected kitchen, dr and living room floor and fireplace remodel. My wife and Ammar spent several hours together where he gathered her likes/dislikes in furniture. They went through a few iterations but he was able to hit all the furnishings right on the mark. He helped us pick out two new chairs, a side table and lights - and through it all he was mindful of the costs of everything. In one instance he even went outside his normal path to get a specific light we had seen at Room/Board for us. It all capped off with the "perfect" sectional sofa for the space!! His professionalism, knowledge of available furniture, attention to detail, capacity to listen to your desires and attention to details and costs make him the best at what he does.”

“Maggie was creative, responsive, honest and thoughtful with her design input. She incorporated all elements into her design and helped transform my homes exterior. Hands down, the best!”

“I first received Laurie's name from a highly respected friend who was having Laurie assist her in the design of a new house. I contacted her for my re-model and she came over for an interview and a survey of my house. After discussing my plans, ideas, and budget, she presented me with plans and options. The renovation proceeded quickly and Laurie maintained her oversight. The results were fantastic, but bittersweet, as I am moving from this beautiful house, however, a sale was accomplished within a week, in no small part due to the magic Laurie wrought. The improvements more than paid for themselves and the new owners love all the upgrades. I only wish that I had met Laurie earlier so that I could enjoy the beautiful house for a little while longer!”
