Her design and style are flawless. I used her to remodel my master bathrooms and the other 3 bathrooms in my home. The look amazing! I also used her for my fireplace remodel, which is fabulous! She is fantastic and I can not say enough good things about her and her work. I would highly recommend anyone to use Faye. **Comment from The Nielsen Collection:** > Thank you Keva, You are a delight to work with and I look forward to the next project! ### All 34 reviews **★★★★★ — K HA, April 2025** > I never liked my old master bathroom as its design was very 90s and it also didn't have a bathtub. The remodeling was a huge undertaking as the whole bathroom pretty much had to be gutted, as there wasn't anything that was worth keeping. Faye came highly recommended. She was instrumental in helping me pick the new material and she made sure I got good prices. She also spent many hours designing the new bathroom and made sure the new bathroom would be both functional and modern. She coordinated with the plumbing team, the tile people, and the painters and was on top of things. The transformation was stunning and I have been enjoying the new bathroom every single day! **★★★★★ — Tiffany P, March 2025** > I highly recommend Faye Nielsen and The Nielsen Collection for any remodeling project. My husband and I needed a general contractor to manage the renovation of our powder room, laundry room, guest bathroom, and master bathroom. While we already had a designer who provided the initial concept, we were looking for someone to bring it to life and oversee the entire process. > > I found Faye on Houzz—or rather, she found me! We had just parted ways with a contractor a few days before they were set to start, so I uploaded our project scope, design concept, and material list to Houzz. From there, I selected about ten general contractors to interview and walk through our home. Each one received our designer’s renderings and material selections, but Faye stood out immediately. She arrived at our first meeting with a meticulously organized notebook, complete with dividers for each room, samples of every paint color and tile we had chosen, and thoughtful design improvement suggestions. One of her best recommendations was using Porcelanosa tile throughout the space, which turned out beautifully. > > What we didn’t realize at first was that Faye is not just a talented general contractor—she’s also a designer and a lighting specialist. Although her quote was the highest, we quickly saw that she was worth every penny. She met deadlines, stayed on budget, and the final results exceeded our expectations. She’s professional, punctual, and easy to work with, whether you need full design services or someone to execute plans from a designer you already love. > > Throughout the project, we made a few strategic changes based on Faye’s expert advice, either to modernize the design or reduce costs. For example, we swapped out $1300 pendants in the powder room for $500 sconces and upgraded all the tile to Porcelanosa. We also opted for large-format tiles in the master and guest bathrooms, along with new sinks and a rain showerhead. I never considered myself a tile enthusiast before, but I absolutely love the finished look. > > Faye’s crew is just as impressive—highly skilled, detail-oriented, and professional. They kept the workspace clean and were some of the best tradespeople we’ve ever worked with. > > We will absolutely be using Faye again for future projects! **★★★★★ — robynmlindsay, April 2023** > Faye, from the Nielsen Collection designed our owners suite, guest bathroom and theatre room. Friends who have visited our home repeatedly continues to give us compliments. Faye’s creative designs are unique and personable to her clients. After having our consultation and her choosing quality materials, it was a struggle remembering the original design of our home projects. Our new “Unimaginable Speechless” designs definitely made us fall in Love with our home all over again. Faye’s knowledgeable, a professional, responsive, respectful and a joy to work with. I can’t wait to have her design our kitchen. Thank you Nielsen Collection for designing our home to be more than we could ever imagine. **★★★★★ — Hutcheson, Nov. 2022** > Faye is the most AMAZING Interior Designer. She has GREAT taste and knowledge. We had her design the inside of our house everyone that sees it LOVES our home. Thank you so much for the hard work and dedication you put in our home! **★★★★★ — Business\_Name\_Placeholder, July 2022** > I have had the pleasure of working with Faye for almost 8 years - she is such a treasure to collaborate with! She has great attention to detail and is phenomenal at creating stunning design boards for all her clients. She creates beautiful, innovative, bold designs and always cutting edge on the newest trends. PLUS, she has the most bubbly personality that can brighten anyone's day. Very reliable and always available. One of the best in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area! **★ — Swetha Maddi, Feb. 2022** > I got zero value for my $$$. She charges $150/hr and ever time she comes over with one tile and spends 2 hours. Not to mention the tile is 4-5 times more expensive than regular stores on top of it she takes 10% extra on the material if she procures. Total disaster and disappointment. **Comment from The Nielsen Collection:** > Swetha > I’m so sorry you were unhappy with the services we provided. > > As for the added 10% service fee, this is plainly described in our contract, and only added to items you wish to purchase through our trade pricing. We shop with reputable trades, as we stand by the merchandise and companies that we purchase from. We strive to make everything that we do for our clients contractually signed and understood, so that the outcome will be a positive one. > > Regarding the time spent from May 2021-August 2021 with Design Boards, samples, product research and trades people at your home, we value our client’s time as much as ours and want to give the best results as possible to all of our clients. Sometimes the design concept can take longer than one may realize with all aspects of a project in play, regardless of the actual size of a project. > > Thank you for your feedback. We strive to address any concerns of our clients and feel that our long standing customer satisfaction speaks volumes. We welcome the opportunity to work with you again. > Regards, > The Nielsen Collection **★★★★★ — Nancy Ling, Sept. 2021** > I did a house upgrade project during pandemic. Faye walked me through the whole process and we are making our home a much more loving place. > I would recommend Faye to anyone. **Comment from The Nielsen Collection:** > Thank you so much Ling family! You are a jewell to work with. Call if you need anything! **★★★★★ — moriley1216, April 2021** > Faye does it all, from architectural design to interior design. She helped us from start to finish and our new home turned out just perfect, thanks to Faye! Her modern design gets rave review when our friends and family come over to see our new place! **★★★★★ — Jeff Janak, March 2021** > I have worked with Faye on several projects during the remodel of my home. (Master and Power bath, and living room) She listened to my desires and formulated a plan to matching the type of remodel I was looking for. Her expertise was invaluable to achieving my goals. She checked in regularly to ensure the project was progressing and being completed per her specifications. She was flexible when projects took a turn, as all projects inevitably do, from time to time. Her crews were outstanding, excellent tradesmanship. The final product was outstanding! Hopefully she will win more awards with photos of my projects! **★★★★★ — Stormy Skogg, Feb. 2019** > I worked with Faye Nielsen on a 2+ year whole-house renovation. She was involved with all aspects of design, right down to the final finishing touches. Faye is extremely knowledgeable, accessible, responsive, and hands-on. She listened to what we wanted and turned our home into a beautiful and elegant yet functional home, that has made a lasting impression on everyone who has seen it for the first time. All materials are state of the art and will last a life time. Faye's talent has been showcased in many magazines, articles, design awards, of which she has walked away a WINNER, and most recently featured in a TV show! I just knew I found a needle in a haystack when I met Faye! She's simply amazing at passionate about her work. We respect Faye for her honestly, ability to work within a budget, and have already put her to work on our next project, as she has proven to be a designer that can help you with any aspect of design, regardless of 'style'. THANK YOU FAYE! **★★★★★ — Don Borelli, Dec. 2018** > Faye Nielsen designed and managed our complete master bath renovation. The project involved every design and construction element, wall tile, bath and plumbing fixtures, lighting and cabinetry. We could not be more pleased with the outcome. Faye is a talented designer with a wealth of practical renovation and product knowledge. I would strongly recommend Faye as a designer, and project co-ordinator. **★★★★★ — Judy Kwong, June 2018** > Faye helped me with the remodel of my kitchen. She was extremely responsive to my needs and really looked out for my interest. Her design is unique and not run of the mill. She is creative, resourceful and most of all, she listens well. I loved her work so much that when my husband decided to build a new office, i asked her to help with the interior decor. She takes her work very seriously and is consciencious about my budget and schedule. I have worked with other designers before and she is by far one of the best. **Comment from The Nielsen Collection:** > Thank you Judy, I really enjoyed working with you and the friendship that has Developed means the most to me. Thanks again **★★★★★ — simgrim, Dec. 2017** > We were left hanging by a contractor that wasn't able to finish a glass tile back splash, installing a under cabinet vent hood and under cabinet lights in our kitchen. Faye Nielsen read our distress call correct and offered to step in with her contractors to finish the job on short notice within a week. The job was finished within the promised time to our great satisfaction. Faye is very up-to-date with the latest design trends and technologies. That was impressive. Her contractors were a pleasure to work with, their workmanship excellent. I absolutely would recommend The Nielsen Collection to friends. **Comment from The Nielsen Collection:** > Thank you Simone, it was such a pleasure to work with you. I hope all of your kitties had a great time with the wrappings and ribbons! **★★★★★ — Lorena Fabian, Dec. 2017** > In our Past 20 Years due mainly to my husbands profesión we lived in homes considered almost mansions , surely by our humble, kindhearted children and certainly by my husbands business associates & clients who were frequently entertained there. Recently my husband had a change of heart , left his profesión, Sold the Big House, bought a smaller home that Faye Nielson on a specified budget created our new Spectacular Home!! > Trust Me..Her Designer Talents & Integrity and the wonderful person that you will encounter can only be Heaven Sent!! **★★★★★ — Rodney Anderson, April 2017** > Faye's work is absolutely amazing! After trying to design my home myself, I turned the reigns over to Faye and she created a masterpiece. When I have guests over, they are blown away by the uniqueness and attention to detail - the "WOW" factor is definitely there. I highly recommend Faye Nielsen and feel she is the best designer out there! **★★★★★ — airib, April 2017** > Faye has a great vision and works with any style to make it your own. One of the most honest in the industry. I continually get compliments on my home time after time because of her vision. **★★★★★ — chelsea21, Oct. 2016** > Faye has does a great job designing several rooms in my home. She is very responsive and listens to what you want in your home and will stay in your budget. She is also a fun person to work with and doesn't try and push her ideas on you. She has such vision and can't wait to have her design another room in my home. **★★★★★ — Fast Lane Metalworks, llc., Dec. 2015** > Faye is a creative and talented designer. She really has an eye for insuring that the entire overall look of a project is cohesive and really flows together. We worked with her on a modern home remodel that just came out looking fabulous. It really had that "wow" factor that people strive for. She is a sweetheart and we would highly recommend her. **★★★★ — merramsey, Aug. 2015** > Faye Nielsen is a highly acclaimed designer in Dallas. I work at the kitchen/bath store she purchases material from for all her projects and each one is exceptional. She has several years of experience and a unique design style personalized to each of her client's taste.

When working with her on jobs, she takes in consideration the clients needs and maps out the job based on their budget and lifestyle. Fashion Glass & Mirror enjoys working with her because she communicates in great detail and provides us with the needed information to get the project completed to the clients satisfaction. **★★★★★ — Percival Mosaedi, Jan. 2015** > The Nielsen Collection did a fantastic job in my master bath remodel. I wanted a very modern-looking bathroom, and a specific budget, and she was able to make it happen with her terrific connections with contractors and suppliers. The bathroom turned out better than I expected, and am so very happy with Faye and her team. My budget was not very high, given the style and selection I wanted, but she made it happen and I could not be happier! She is able to come up with terrific innovative solutions for space compartmentalization, lighting, and the overall flow of how a person's experience should be for that given area. Just look at her portfolio and it will speak for itself. The best part is she was absolutely fair with her pricing for the amount of work she did, so I had no issues with her at all. Would hire again 10/10 times! **Comment from The Nielsen Collection:** > Thank you, it was a pleasure designing your bathroom. Hope you enjoy for a very long time. **★★★★★ — pstephens312, March 2014** > Faye is a sweetheart to work with and works very hard to make sure she incorporates your thoughts and ideas into the final design. > > In a word... awesome! **★★★★★ — hlkossick, Dec. 2013** > The Nielsen Collection provided a prompt review and evaluation of my 1966 ranch home in Dallas Texas. A remodel of the family room and joining kitchen was transformed from a dreary living space to a bright functional contemporary design. A complete remodel of the flagstone fireplace, paneled walls, oak cabinets, confined kitchen spaces and living area were transformed. > Ms. Nielsen innately picked up on my style and had a vision immediately. I undoubtedly trusted her ideas, vision, and the direction she encouraged the project should proceed. Expectations were clear, minimal client management, exceptional attention to detail, and a high standard for excellence is nothing short of The Nielsen Collection experience. **★★★★★ — Luke, Oct. 2013** > Faye did an excellent job with my decor.

Faye offered us some excellent options and ideas that we had not considered. The various contractors did excellent work in a timely manner and we were very satisfied with the results. **★★★★★ — buzzn4ward, April 2013** > Mrs. Nielsen was instrumental in creating a fabulous new home, from the very beginning of the design process through the contstruction process, and even on to placement and arrangement of furniture/paintings/decorative items after we moved in. Her input into the lighting of the house was crutial. She added refinements to the kitchen to eliminate unslightly wall outlets and switches, installing little items that were flush to the surface which activated appliances with a simple touch. And once the project was complete she was and is still available for consultation, more like a friend than an employee. I cannot recommend her highly enough. **★★★★★ — maptx22, April 2013** > Faye is extremely professional and has an incredible eye for design. Faye was hired to help create a new design for a bathroom in desperate need of a remodel. She offered excellent ideas on how to maximize space and brought the bathroom into a functional and beautiful space. Its now one of the favorite rooms in the house! Faye went above and beyond to make the remodeling experience a smooth process.

Are you wanting ideas to replace your fireplace **Q: I think I chose a backsplash tile that is way too cool of a color .** *(in Design Dilemma)* I have light warm floors, warm cabinets and white quartz counters with some light veining. I liked these tiles and thought something cooler would balance out the warm, but I think it’s too cool and the eye is craving something warm to tie it together! Thoughts? A: • SW Natural Linen – Slight warmth, softens maple beautifully • works with gray tile Add matte black hardware to create a sharpe line on the cabinets and add a new warm light fixture. You can paint walls and ceiling the same color except eggshell on walls and flat on color or Pure White on ceiling **Q: Pony wall and glass enclosure dilemma??** *(in Design Dilemma)* I’ve been scouring this site for ideas and clarity about how to design my bathroom pony wall, and I’m so confused! Hoping this community can help. I am building a new master BA onto an existing BR; floor plan is attached. My home is a beach cottage type, transitional I’d say; calm clean lines and soft flow. The new BA will have gray porcelain floor tile 12x24, and 2x2 in a curbless shower. White 4x8 subway tile on shower walls w/light gray grout, Benjamin Moore Pale Oak for the painted walls. The vanity and breakfront will be shaker style, painted white with Pental Quartz Carrera Polished vanity top and the breakfront countertop. My dilemma is how to treat the pony wall - do I tile the front, and if so, how?… Where does the tile stop? I’ll put the quartz countertop material on the top of the wall. For the glass enclosure, I’m thinking to do it like the attached diagram, but I’m a little concerned about the door hitting the showerhead(?) And which do you recommend in this case… clips, u-channel, or recessed u-channel? All my fixtures will be brushed nickel. Something else I’ve been noodling on is the material, if any, for the breakfront. It will be for storage and possibly a teapot or coffee maker. Hot tub will be just outside the door. A: Do away with the front pony wall. It will visually enlarge the shower . **Q: Love this bubble tile.** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me the name / color of this bubble tile? It's fabulous A: My all time place to specify product from **Q: What are some low cost ways to improve my Exterior?** *(in Design Dilemma)* Hey guys, What are some low cost ways to improve the exterior of the home? I wanna be able to make the house look more modern without spending more than 2k. I can also do some/most of the work myself. https://imgur.com/a/Aq6Hjoy A: Remove wrought iron fence and brick columns. Place horizontal fencing on the brick wall or remove bricks all together . Stain in an ebony color and change garage door or at least windows to rectangle and paint to go with the fence . Ebony stain would look good against the house color. Paint front door an black or an accent color . You may or may not need to paint the window frames if everything else is accented in black. May not want to draw attention to everything . Move the palm altogether. Not sure where you live but if you are in an area that natural grasses of varying colors and textures could look good up by the house. Some red yuccas, feather grass and Muhly grass . Please show photos after you choose. **Q: Refrigerator** *(in Photo Questions)* I like this skinny little fridge, can you tell me the brand? I've never run across one like this. A: This is a Marvel --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-11.*
