Jennifer Grey Color Specialist & Interior Design
Interior Designers & Interior Decorators in Malibu.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 March 2014
“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!)”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 January 2018
“Heather at Ritual House is an amazing designer. I wanted a clean and modern update to my ancient condo and she delivered. She's very helpful and has a great eye for style. I would certainly recommend her for all your remodel needs.”
Susan Jay Design
Interior Designers & Interior Decorators in Malibu.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars30 November 2012
“Have worked with Susan Jay for many years and she has always been a pleasure to work with. She listens to what you want, provides insight into positive, and more importantly negatives, of those desires. She provides guidance and does not design spaces to suit her own tastes but rather mine. She also works with very skilled, efficient and knowledgeable subs which is incredibly important. She also knows where to find the best furnishings and accessories. Could not recommend any more highly. All my friends who have used her services after being in my home say the same thing about her and her company.”

“We really enjoyed working with Anna on our remodel, she was very helpful, creative and guided us in the right direction. We are very happy with the end result and would definitely work with her again!”
Neela Woodard Design, LLC
Interior Designers & Interior Decorators in Malibu.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 February 2014
“I hired Neela to turn my small dark family room into a room my family wanted to use. Now it's the most used room in the house- after the kitchen, of course! Neela helped transform the room into the perfect family room for MY family. She listened to what I wanted, used family-friendly fabrics as I requested, and placed artistic touches throughout. Now it's a useable space- not just a beautiful space I don't want to touch as many "designed" rooms can be. My husband, son and I love the room. Now we're working in my dining room. After working with another designer (whose finished product I love but whose process I had problems with), I realize how Neela's organized, responsive process was crucial for me as a working mom.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars16 June 2015
“Wow!!! She came highly recommended to me, but I was not 100% sure because she specializes in residential and I wanted to remodel a restaurant. Well, she more than exceeded my expectations. I'm very happy with her work and her professional attitude is impressive. I highly recommend her.”

“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!”
AA Design Firm
Interior Designers & Interior Decorators in Malibu.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 July 2015
“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.”

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 Malibu, 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 Malibu, CA is a must.

What is the difference between interior designers and interior decorators?


Both Malibu, 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 Malibu, 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 Malibu, CA normally come on board after all structural work is complete.

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


Everybody wants to a home that reflects their personality, though some of us are just too preoccupied with a career and/or family to think about colour schemes, wallpaper, flooring, and lighting. A Malibu, CA professional interior designer can save you bags of time, stress and months.
