### Reviews

**★★★★★ — robbindner, July 2024**

> I cannot say enough positive things about my past year experience working with Mariana Gardner and Interior Cues.Mariana has a very keen eye for style that fits the space and I believe what differentiates Mariana from other designers is that she is willing to push back if she is not aligned with selections or direction of design . This is so critical and important as many others would acquiesce to whatever the client appears focused on and I believe that is where the integrity of great design breaks down. One of Mariana’s key strengths is that she is a great listener to understand the clients needs/ wants/ budget in the beginning and then she builds the plan from there. Mariana is a very effective and consistent communicator which delivers confidence that she has the design process under complete control. Lastly, I feel that Mariana is very on-point with her style and selection recommendations and as a result you end up with an amazing and unique space- I did! Mariana is the ultimate professional on all fronts and I highly recommend!

**★★★★★ — Lauri Klugh, Dec. 2023**

> Mariana is amazing at what she does! She helped us with the design of a professional office. She was able to gather input from all members of our team, while keeping us on track, as time was of the essence. The results are beautiful! Not only do we all love it, but we have received so many compliments from clients. Highly recommend!

**★★★★★ — Lynn, Dec. 2023**

> I have used Interior Cues for over 7 years with various projects.  Large and small.  Marianna is a fabulous interior designer.  She is so talented in seeing the big picture.  Pulling fabrics and colors together to work well throughout my house; while keeping with my style.  She is conscious of budgets and stays well within them.  I always have lots of choices and have never regretted any decision I have made with her on any of our renovations.  She has helped with an entire gutting of our kitchen and taking down a wall to extend our living space beyond the kitchen.  She was excellent is choosing colors and furniture that would last for years.  Its been almost 5 years since we remodeled the kitchen and I still love it like it is brand new.  Every detail.  She has sometimes had to push me out of my comfort zone, but I am always pleased with the result.
>
> I highly recommend Marianna and her company for any project you have in mind.  She is efficient , smart , and so much fun to work with.  You cannot go wrong with her.

**★★★★★ — Lee Smith, Dec. 2023**

**★★★★★ — Ron Fox, Dec. 2023**

> Marianna is top notch!  She provided us excellent end to end design ideas and selections from the time we picked the plans to our new house through move in.  Can’t recommend her enough.

> Highly recommended.

**★★★★★ — Sherry Morgan, Dec. 2023**

> I've worked with Mariana/Interior Cues over the last 5 years on multiple large & small projects.  She is truly wonderful in her ability to help you find exactly what you want & need.  She is able to push your boundaries a bit so that you end up with an exceptional result.  Her respect for your budget is also to be admired & appreciated.  You won't be pushed to spend more than you need!  I always keep her number handy for when a new idea/project pops up!!

**★★★★★ — Shane Cawthon, Dec. 2023**

> I built a new house this year and reached out to Mariana for help with interior design. The whole project far exceeded my expectations. Pricing was fair and transparent and I would highly recommend this business.

**★★★★★ — Precia Shaw, Dec. 2023**

> Mariana Gardner, owner of Interior Cues, is not only my designer, she has also become one of our friends.  We have worked together 15+ years on 5 major projects and other fun little ones too! She was an intricate key player in the building our dream home,  she has assisted with many overhaul/re-designs on varies properties we own or have owned over the years.  Our latest project is the remodel of an 80+ year old home.  In the major renovations side of the project Mariana has made it functional for our family.  As far as the design side, she has brought us an up-to-date modern vibe but kept the integrity of the very traditional home.
>
> Mariana listens to her customers and is responsible whether your budget is big or small!  No project is out of her scope!  I always look forward to our “next” project!

**★★★★★ — maggielee1, Feb. 2023**

> Mariana is simply the best! She makes a potentially daunting task enjoyable by bringing her special talents, artistic style, and skilled eye to the project  while inspiring and respecting the client’s personal tastes and preferences. We loved working with Mariana to make our new house a lovely and comfortable home that reflects who we are and suits are lifestyle.
> Mariana is perfectly positioned to find the right materials and pieces to create a beautiful setting as well as the best quality and value.
> She is professional, flexible , and fun!

**★★★★★ — Crystal Ball O'Connor, Dec. 2022**

> From start to finish with a complicated remodel of the entire home, Mariana gave me the advise, support, and confidence I needed to get the job done well! She has great taste, patience, and expertise to understand how each detail matters to the overall space.  Not only is Mariana extremely talented, she is warm, professional, and a really cool person. On a scale of 1-10, I would give her a 20!

**★★★★★ — Lori Farrisee, Nov. 2022**

> Our realtor recommended Mariana to us and we couldn't have been happier with her work on our behalf.  We purchased a newly built second home several hundred miles away from our primary residence.  Mariana knew where to look for furniture and other items locally and she also has many, many resources that she uses for ordering.  Mariana is very creative and helped us create a coastal/beachy/lake vibe combined with a rustic mountain feel.  Further, Mariana incorporated treasured family art into our design which we will enjoy for years to come.  We relied on Mariana's help to purchase dining room furniture, kitchen counter chairs, finish a living room and three bedrooms.  She added custom window coverings and two strategic areas of wallpaper.  Planning at least one more room setup working with Mariana.  Highly recommend!
