She patiently listen to us and really helped us with the color and style selections for our blinds. She brought physical samples with her and showed us how the various selections match up. She was very easy to communicate with and she knew exactly what we wanted. Her suggestions were also excellent and we are very happy with how our blinds turned out. I would definitely work with Julie again in the future. **★★★★★ — Lea Sulkala, May 2020** > Julie helped us with our shades and shutters and we love the way it all turned out. We put off picking shades for our home for two years because we couldn't settle on what would work best. Julie was so helpful in walking through all of the options and we couldn't be happier with the result. We will definitely call her again when we need help with window treatments in other areas of our home. She has a great design sense and was so easy to work with. **Comment from Julie Dastvan, a Smith & Noble In-Home Designer:** > Thank you, Lea! I love it when I hear I was able to help get a big item off the “To-Do List!” Enjoy, and I’m here when you’re ready for the next phase! **★★★★★ — Kate Walker, March 2020** > What a lovely experience working with Julie Dastvan! I got estimates from several companies for roman shades, roller shades, wood blinds, and plantation shutters. Unlike the other companies, working with Julie was like having my own personal interior designer help pick the options that best reflect my taste and meet the lighting/shade needs of my space. Julie was delightful to work with and had great taste. I love how my roman shades, roller shades, and wood blinds look! (Still waiting on plantation shutters) **Comment from Julie Dastvan, a Smith & Noble In-Home Designer:** > Thanks so much Kate! I love being able to take part in making a new house a home and helping to pull things together. You have a great eye and it was a pleasure collaborating with you! **★★★★★ — RM, Feb. 2020** > Julie was on time, professional, and even called before our appointment to learn more about what we were looking for. She was able to pull samples quickly and give us informed opinions. Would highly recommend her! **Comment from Julie Dastvan, a Smith & Noble In-Home Designer:** > Thanks so much Radhika! It’s always fun to work with customers who have no fear of color and pattern! Enjoy the new window treatments! **★★★★★ — kzm15707, Feb. 2020** > I wanted a second opinion on window treatment samples I ordered from Smith and Noble and scheduled an appointment with a designer. I was lucky that Julie was assigned to me because she instinctively recognized that one of my samples was not the best choice. I’m very happy with the end result. Julie is a pleasure to work with, is an experienced interior designer and knows her product well. I wish I got to work with her on a previous order from Smith and Noble so be sure to request her for your consultation. Great experience working with Smith and Noble too. Quality products and lots of choices. **Comment from Julie Dastvan, a Smith & Noble In-Home Designer:** > Thank you Kathy; it was a pleasure to work with you, too! I’m beyond pleased with the Roman and Natural Woven shades we selected — so beautiful! Enjoy! **★★★★★ — Maureen Lampe, Jan. 2020** > It was a pleasure working with Julie. Her professionalism and warmth made the experience of choosing the right window treatments for my dining room a real joy. Julie explained the time frame in which the window treatments would be made and process in which they would be delivered. She was spot on! **Comment from Julie Dastvan, a Smith & Noble In-Home Designer:** > Thank you, Maureen! It’s hard to believe we could make that dining room any more beautiful than it already was, but we did! The Relaxed Fabric Romans were the perfect softness and touch of color and pattern. Enjoy! **★★★★★ — Shira Hichenberg, Jan. 2020** > Julie was an absolute dream to work with and we are so happy with our window treatments which she helped guide us in purchasing. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and simply a pleasure to interact with. We have young kids at home and not only was she very patient with them, but she engaged them in the process and had such a wonderful way of interacting with them. We were impressed with Julie's level of expertise and depth of knowledge regarding Smith and Noble products. She was able to guide us in our purchase and provide her opinions when we asked and she wasn't pushy in any way. She really tailored the experience to meet our needs and truly listened to what we were telling her in terms of what we were looking for. I would love to have an opportunity to work with Julie again! **Comment from Julie Dastvan, a Smith & Noble In-Home Designer:** > Thanks so much, Shira; I thoroughly enjoyed working with all of you! And, it’s so helpful when my customers already have an idea of what it is they want (or don’t want) and are comfortable going through the design process with me. Enjoy the new treatments! **★★★★★ — kristin1989, Jan. 2020** > Julie was fantastic! She patiently helped me select window treatments for several windows in my house. She quickly understood my style and narrowed down the choices to what best suited my home and decor. She showed me photos of jobs she had done and came with plenty of samples. I never felt rushed or that I was being pushed into the priciest option. I placed my order and now, two weeks later, everything has been installed. I couldn’t be happier. **Comment from Julie Dastvan, a Smith & Noble In-Home Designer:** > Thank you Kristin, I’m so pleased with all of our choices. Each room got just the function and design impact it needed! Enjoy! **★★★★★ — Elena J, Dec. 2019** > I had the pleasure of working with Julie to design window treatments for my home. I had a few ideas in mind but I welcomed her advice and guidance. I had an idea of how I wanted the treatments to look but I didn't quite know how to get there. With Julie's great advice and taste, I selected roman shades, valances, and roller shades (for the sliding glass doors). The treatments were installed this past Friday and they look amazing!! They exceeded my expectations, I love how each room looks now. Everything flows and my home looks so put together. Julie did a wonderful job of listening to my input and determining my tastes to then suggesting fabrics I would love. I cannot thank her enough for the transformation of my home! I highly recommend working with Julie, she will help you to achieve the dream look for your windows! **Comment from Julie Dastvan, a Smith & Noble In-Home Designer:** > Thank you Elena! I'm so pleased Smith & Noble was able to assist you once again in a new home now that you're out here on the East Coast. I was beyond happy with your reaction to your Natural Wovens for the sliding doors, as I know you were wavering a bit on that choice. Every room turned out beautifully, and I'm so glad you had trust in me! **★★★★★ — Dennis Cunningham, Nov. 2019** > Julie provided excellent design advice and patiently explained all of the pros and cons of the many different options available through Smith & Noble. I'd gladly work with her again. **Comment from Julie Dastvan, a Smith & Noble In-Home Designer:** > Thanks so much, Dennis! The natural woven shades were such a perfect addition of texture and needed function for your master bedroom! Enjoy! **★★★★★ — Danielle Carter, Nov. 2019** > Julie was a pleasure to work with. She helped me select roman shades and drapery panels for our family room and I am thrilled with the result. She spent time going over different fabric options and helped me select a timeless, high quality fabric. She even came back over for the installation. I can't say enough great things about Julie. She is wonderful. **Comment from Julie Dastvan, a Smith & Noble In-Home Designer:** > Thank you, Danielle; I so enjoyed meeting and working with you! What a wonderful transformation for your family room! **★★★★★ — giovannacasa, Oct. 2019** > Julie brought her enthusiasm, product knowledge and design expertise to my kitchen window treatment project. She was a joy to work with and my kitchen is now complete. I am grateful to her for her assistance and making this process seamless in every way, my Westie loves her too! **Comment from Julie Dastvan, a Smith & Noble In-Home Designer:** > Thank you Giovanna (and your adorable Westie)! What a difference window treatments make. I love it that you were open to a bold pattern; your beautifully renovated kitchen just needed a little warming up with pattern and a touch of color and these did the trick!! ## Selected projects - [Drapery & Hardware](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/drapery-and-hardware-pj-vj~5267726) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - Description: Pleated, Casual, Wave Fold Drapery Styles & Custom Hardware - [Fabric Roman Shades](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fabric-roman-shades-pj-vj~5267909) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - Description: Classic, Flat, Relaxed, Reverse Classic & Soft Roman Styles - [Decorative Pillows](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/decorative-pillows-pj-vj~5610476) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Honeycomb Shades](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/honeycomb-shades-pj-vj~5610472) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - Description: Classic, Cambria & Luxe Linen Styles - [Natural Woven Shades](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/natural-woven-shades-pj-vj~5610469) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Roller & Solar Shades](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/roller-and-solar-shades-pj-vj~5610464) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Sheer Shading](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sheer-shading-pj-vj~5610458) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Shutters & Wood Blinds](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shutters-and-wood-blinds-pj-vj~5277599) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - Description: Wood Blinds, Durawood Blinds, Eco-wood, Teak & Vinyl Shutters - [Top Treatments](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/top-treatments-pj-vj~5610437) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - Description: Fabric Cornices, Rod Mounted Valances & Board Mounted Valances - [Vertical Solutions](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vertical-solutions-pj-vj~5610434) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: Vertical Blinds, Vertical Sheer Shadings, Vertical Honeycomb Shades & Panel Track [See all 10 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/window-treatments/julie-dastvan-a-smith-and-noble-in-home-designer-pfvwus-pf~1009880425) ## Ideabooks - [Kitchen Renovations](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/119324683/list/kitchen-renovations) — 1 idea [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/webuser-25193941758) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
