“Not only does Ava and Arlene have impeccable design taste. They will handle everything from the idea phase, to hiring the proper General Contractor, subs, over seeing the entire process and being present at the job site during the work. They did everything from A to Z. They made redecorating my home a simple breeze. From providing me my options and giving me the pros and cons of each option with various cost estimates made it easy for me to make a comfortable informed decision on every step of the process. They are extremely flexible with their service. Their contractors are also professional and very neat. They clean up after every job and make the process very convenient. The outcome turned out better than I expected and I am a very satisfied customer.”

“I have been working with Jennifer from The Old Painted Cottage since 2011. I had been a faithful blog reader (http://theoldpaintedcottage.com/) and admirer of her style for a long time before getting the courage to contact her to see if she would agree to a design consultation to help me revamp my living room. My husband and I had recently moved into a 1960's ranch - that still looked like it was from the 1960s! I was so frustrated with trying to "design" my house on a budget and getting nowhere – I desperately wanted and needed help. I kind of knew what I wanted to do and the styles I admired, but I had no idea whatsoever how to create it on a realistic budget in my own home. I hired Jennifer to teach me how to beautify my living room. And oh boy - I cannot say enough about how absolutely wonderful it was (and has been since then) to work with Jennifer! After sending her the dimensions of my living area and images of living rooms I loved (many of them here on Houzz), we scheduled and had a phone consultation and OH.MY.GOSH! Jennifer's energy, excitement, ability to translate what I wanted to the redesign of my space - and all within my budget - was incredible! One of the most amazing things about Jennifer is that she patiently taught me many interior design secrets that I never knew but have since been able to apply to my whole home (e.g., hanging drapes higher than the top of the window, displaying décor items in threes, adding pops of complementary color, etc.) Needless to say, it is 2014 and Jennifer has let me hire her to design almost every room in my house! Since 2011, I’ve had two babies and she helped me design both nurseries. Jennifer also helped me revamp my master bedroom, TV room, and the sunroom! Currently, we are doing a whole house consult on a little lake cabin my husband and I recently purchased. Overall, Jennifer is a consummate professional, her fees are ridiculously reasonable, and she is able to “get into a space” and transform it simply by looking at before photos. Jennifer is a gem! I could go on and on about Jennifer…(and I hope to meet her in person one day soon!)”

“Amy Elbaum was absolutely wonderful to work with! She listened to my ideas and helped me find the best way to express what I was looking for, while bringing in all kinds of wonderful ideas I never would have thought of. She was extremely professional and helpful and was always willing to answer all of my millions of questions. The finished product was so much better and more beautiful than anything I could have imagined!”

Emma DeRoche Interior Design
Interior Designers & Interior Decorators in Santa Monica.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 September 2016
“Emma DeRoche is a dream to work with! She and her Design firm take the time to truly listen and help bring your thoughts, feeling and vibes to fruition. This made a huge impact during our process because I knew what I wanted in terms of tone and ambiance but couldn't always articulate it. Emma dialed in and took the lead while staying true to what I wanted. She is defiantly not a paint by numbers designer, rather a patient, savvy and refreshingly creative soul that will not only help create you space but elevate it in the process.”

Dannielle Albrecht Designs
Interior Designers & Interior Decorators in Santa Monica.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 June 2014
“Dannielle was exactly what we needed to fit our design specifications! First we are busy and need someone who understands our vision, and can add their professional perspective and then come to the table with options, LOTS of options. From there place, track, and ensure proper installation of whatever piece was ordered to make sure it is exactly what we wanted. Dannielle does a great job being personable, prompt, thorough, and very detail oriented. She has been a great option for ALL of our, big and small, design needs!”

Whether you live is a 10 bedroom bungalow or a 3 bedroom apartment, it will feel like home only when you create a cohesive look that represents your style. This when the work of a Santa Monica, CA professional interior designer can make all the difference. Interior design companies can help determine vital factors ranging from mood to efficiency. So, whether you need help creating a functional space plan, rearranging existing pieces, designing the inside of a new home, or simply sourcing amazing furniture and decor, seeking the help of professional interior designers and decorators in Santa Monica, CA is a must.

What is the difference between interior designers and interior decorators?


Both Santa Monica, CA interior professionals are closely related and often mistaken for the same thing, however, there are some significant differences you should be aware of before hiring. An interior designer, also known as an interiors architect, will not only hone your style down to its very essence but will be able to choose a functional layout. All Santa Monica, CA interiors designers require specific schooling and formal training. They use their specialised knowledge of interior architecture, building regulations, materials, and furnishings to help you arrive at your dream home design. Interior design companies can come on board during the early stages of construction to plan spaces and room functions down to the last detail, and can help design and renovate interiors and decorate. On the other hand, an interior decorator will typically be involved with the “look and feel” of a space, and won’t be able to assist in renovations that require structural work. Interior decorators in Santa Monica, CA normally come on board after all structural work is complete.

Why should I hire an interior designer or decorator in Santa Monica, CA?
