### Reviews

**★★★★★ — HU-605005213, Jan. 2026**

> Melanie and Amy were such a delight! They jumped in on our project and made all our design ideas come true! If it’s from scratch or a remodel they bring your home to light!

**★★★★★ — Jalaluddin Charanya, Jan. 2026**

> Working with Amy and her team was a fantastic experience from beginning to end. She was knowledgeable, patient and always available to answer questions. Her design were thoughtful, practical and beautiful. She truly cared about getting everything right and made sure that we felt confident throughout the process. we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a designer.

**★★★★★ — Casey Schrier, April 2025**

> Working with Amy and Melanie was an absolute joy, and I can’t recommend them enough. They helped us design every inch of our new home, and the final result blew us away. We went with a modern coastal vibe, and they perfectly captured the laid-back yet elegant feel we wanted. Every room is unique, but somehow the whole house flows beautifully together—it's a true reflection of our style.
>
> What stood out the most was how well Amy and Melanie listened to all of our ideas. They really took the time to understand what we were envisioning, and then elevated it in ways we never could have imagined. My favorite room has to be my daughter’s "Breakfast at Tiffany’s" room, where they even found a vintage phone to complete the look—it’s a touch that really makes the space feel special.
>
> On top of that, Amy and Melanie made the entire construction process stress-free. They handled everything with such ease and professionalism, keeping us updated and ensuring that every detail was just right. Honestly, I would never consider building a house again without them. They made what could have been a daunting experience truly enjoyable.
>
> By the end of the project, they felt like more than just designers—they became new family friends. Professional, creative, and just so easy to work with. If you're looking for a team who can bring your vision to life while adding their own magic, Amy and Melanie are the ones to call!

**Comment from BGI Design:**

> Casey thank you so so much for your wonderful review and kind words! It means the world to us. Melanie and I truly enjoyed working with you and Paul. There are many pieces to a project that make it go smoothly and a great client that's fun to work with is definitely one of them!!

**★★★★★ — Dallas Rugs, Sept. 2024**

> Dallas Rugs has proudly partnered with BGI Design for the past decade, and their work continues to impress. Their exceptional creativity and attention to detail transform every project into a stunning success. BGI Design's professionalism and dedication to client satisfaction make them a standout choice for any interior design needs. We highly recommend their services and look forward to many more years of collaboration!

**★★★★★ — Coco C, Jan. 2024**

> Best interior designer I have ever worked with. Amy and her team adeptly used technology and plain old common sense to prepare detailed presentations of every aspect of the design for our home. She was quick, clear, responsive and provided invaluable feedback at every step of a clearly laid out multi-step design process. She made it fun!!!! Pricing is straightforward and worth every penny to be able to see the design vision in a cohesive, clear way - right down to grout selection! Highly recommend.

**Comment from BGI Design:**

> Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s been a real pleasure to work with you both!!

**★★★★★ — Kristie Frazier, June 2021**

> We built a house and Amy guided us through the entire process. Actually, she made most of the decisions. She looked at the architectural plans and made suggestions where appropriate. She choose the finish out based on what I told her we wanted. She also decorated the house. She was involved every step of the way. Amy also talked me off the ledge several times. There is no way we would have the beautiful house we have today without Amy.

**★★★★★ — Samser Designs, April 2021**

> What I love about Amy is that all she needs to do is see a space once and will come up with multiple options! She's fantastic.

**★★★★★ — HU-1282296392671712435677418, Feb. 2021**

**★★★★★ — judy winkler, Nov. 2019**

> I hired Barbara and Amy to  help with all selections for our new home.  Oh my goodness -- these ladies are talented!  Everything looks fabulous and compliments are flowing.  As lead designer on the project, Amy was organized and worked quickly.  We trusted her design guidance completely and so glad we did!
