Erika Ward - Erika Ward Interiors

Building a home is easy but, selecting finishes is NOT! I wanted our home to have a modern look but, keep a warm feel (I am drawn to traditional styles). Erika helped me accomplish just that and, kept me focused when I was ready to tap out of the process! I did not know that selecting paint color, flooring, cabinetry, counter tops, vanity tops, mirrors, and drawer pulls could be so daunting! Erika kept me energized and we walked around inside and outside to make sure that the color combinations were just right. Her energy is amazing and, her kindness is endless. We can't wait to have Erika come and help us now that we have moved in.

Erika Ward is an AMAZING designer that my family has had the pleasure to work with on not one but two homes! I was initially introduced to Erika through one of my dear friends who always spoke about her cousin that was an interior decorator. After visiting her website to view her beautiful work, I decided to contact her for a consultation and the rest was history! My husband and I both have technical professions with zero creativity when it comes to decorating. After providing general information about how we use each room as well as general sense of our style, we allowed her free range of using her design expertise to work her magic! We were more than happy we did that when we saw the presentation and transformation of our homes into master pieces we would have never imagined. She is very passionate about her work and she takes pleasing her customers very personal which is a trait I love about her. See has more than exceeded our expectations and we will certainly continue to use her on our future projects.

I've worked with Erika on my last two homes. Her expertise and professionalism are top notch. She always seems to understand my taste and expand on it. Amazing is not a strong enough word to explain the experience received when working with her. She's apart of the family now.

I hired Erika to makeover my kitchen and bring color and style to my den. She over delivered! My kitchen is gorgeous with a modern/retro/eclectic feel and very functional. It's also got great WARMTH through the floating wood shelves and woven baskets that were incorporated. And my den is now bright and cozy. I have a dark leather sectional sofa that has been brought to life with new rug, pillows, wall accents and other accessories that make the room pop while still able to plop down for family movie night. I'm lovin it!

A random internet search for design help turned into a beautiful collaboration with Erika Ward Interiors. As the proverbial frustrated decorator with no formal training, I had reached a "wall" in our condo. The transition from large house to condo was more difficult than I had imagined. I was looking for someone who would listen to my ideas, work with my existing pieces, and work within my budget. All criteria was met when I met Erika Ward, the principal designer for EWI. Our initial contact was by phone and her genuine warmth was immediately apparent in the ease of our conversation. We scheduled an appointment soon thereafter for her to come to our home to assess the space and my "vision". With her guidance, design expertise, true vision, and patience with me, Erika has made our condo a place we love to come home to.

I discovered Erika's business while my new home was being built, and was literally just searching for interior decorating sites to help me when the home was completed. I described my needs to her via her website which included making use of my current inventory, and adding where needed. This was very important to me, as it would make great use of things I already have, but add variety and a fresh look to a new home. She immediately responded by calling, and we set up a time to talk more about the project. Although it was early in the planning phase, I could tell very quickly that Erika had a real talent and passion for what she does! Most importantly, she was extremely professional. I proceeded to forward her many ideas and pictures of my likes and tastes where decorating was concerned. She seemed to understand exactly what my needs were, and she followed up with me about monthly for the next several months while the house was being completed. Once I moved in, I officially met Erika, and we clicked just like I though we would. She could almost read my mind and complete my sentences based on what she discovered through my ideas I had sent her. She put together a portfolio and presented ideas that I loved. Once she had the go-ahead for the ideas, everything was ordered, and then she came to install! The best part is, she used so much of what I had and placed things with ideas I never would have thought of, or had the self-confidence to follow through with. The end result was a beautiful first floor of my home that is warm, inviting, and liveable. Which is so important! I can't say enough about Erika's talent and sweet, warm attitude towards me as a client, but now also a friend! I look forward to working with her hopefully soon and let her help me with my masterbedroom and other rooms. I highly recommend Erika Ward as a decorating consultant, and can't say enough great things about her!

I contacted Erika for a consultation on my decor and a color consultation for a future paint project. We scheduled an appointment and Erika arrived on time. She offered great ideas to guide me through the decorating process and to pull my overall decorating strategy together. Erika has an excellent sense of style and offered many ideas and source for me to purchase the furniture and accessories needed. I will definitely recommend her and will contact her for future projects.

Erika Ward has been a pleasure to work with. She was able to decorate the blank canvas that was our office and turn it into a warm, pleasing, and functional area within reasonable pricing. It was clear she took time to get to know the essence of our company in order to decorate our office space in a very personal and fitting way. No part of the job seemed too big or detail too small. Her execution was exceeded our expectations.
