Debbie’s recommendations are miraculously spot on. She pulled together the finishes, the rugs, the floor plan modifications, details related to tile patterns, and also came up with the idea for the custom cabinet over the tub which is both a lovely focal point and contributes much needed storage. Debbie also is well organized, and immediately responsive to questions and concerns. **★★★★★ — sbertke1, Nov. 2022** > I have been working with Debbie for about two months. Debbie runs a very professional and reliable service. She listens to my ideas and is very helpful! Debbie fun to work with, level headed, understands our situation, and has a great eye for detail! She got to know me personally and cares about my vision. So far, my experience working with Debbie has been very positive one indeed! **★★★★★ — S.Koverman, Feb. 2022** > What more can I say about Debbie Sykes? Her credentials, the reviews from her clients, and the photos of her elegant projects say it all! > > I needed help with colors but the thought of inviting a high-end designer to enter and critique my home was very intimidating to me. I am happy to say that the moment we met, her friendliness and sincerity put me at ease. She has a true gift with colors. It was a relief to hear her suggestions that incorporated my tastes. She never tried to shame me into updating to the faddish interior designs that are in the architectural magazines. > > If you take pride in your home then you should ask Debbie for guidance! **★★★★★ — Sandy Brooking, Jan. 2022** > I highly recommend Debbie for your next design project. I have worked with her on numerous projects over the past ten years. I’ve always been extremely pleased with her work. She is professional, experienced and very personable. Her eye for color is amazing. Her ability to design furniture layouts for rooms is so impressive as well! My latest project with her is a whole house update including furniture—and she has made the process as easy as it possibly could be! Her relationships with local contractors and retailers is a huge benefit as well. I would trust and recommend her for any design project! **★★★★★ — Lori Rogers, Jan. 2022** > Debbie has been a great help in our home building project. She listens to what you want and is a great advocate to making your vision a reality. I would recommend Debbie to anyone looking for design services. **Comment from Debbie Sykes:** > Thank you! Your new home has been an exciting and fun project from the beginning! I am so blessed to be a part of this wonderful journey - I truly appreciate this opportunity! **★★★★★ — Deb, Jan. 2022** > Debbie Sykes is a designer that is well educated on current trends. She is very well known in the community and provides valuable resources for all projects. She is a designer that listens to her clients and works with the client to incorporate their vision and budget to every remodel or new creation. She is accessible and has impeccable follow-up. I highly recommend Debbie Sykes for any design project! **Comment from Debbie Sykes:** > Thank you! I am honored to be selected to assist you! **★★★★★ — Dianne Weiskittle, Jan. 2022** > We renovated our kitchen, family room, and upstairs guest bath, all with Debbie's assistance. Debbie is wonderfully decisive and has a great way of kindly and directly communicating her opinions. Her advice was spot on. We couldn't be happier with the choices she guided us to make. From kitchen countertops to cabinet styles and accompanying hardware to paint color selection to some redesign options we hadn't even thought of, her assistance was indispensable. I hope I never have to go through a renovation without her advice! **Comment from Debbie Sykes:** > Thank you for your kind words! And I love the end result of our renovations! **★★★★★ — Emily Sorensen, Dec. 2021** > Debbie started working with us when our house was still under construction and was able to pick out design elements that I didn't even know needed to be fixed such as placement of walls and height of countertops and bars. Her outstanding expertise has helped out house become what it is now and we continually get so many comments on the colors, carpet selection, furniture placement and art work. I truly can not say enough wonderful things about Debbie and how easy she is to work with and how she was able to make our house fit us exactly with more style than we could have ever dreamed of. Having Debbie help with your project, no matter how big or small will be the best investment you could make! **Comment from Debbie Sykes:** > Your new home architecturally was one in a million and I was so blessed to be a part of the final designs. Thank you! **★★★★★ — Joseph Catanese, Dec. 2021** > Debbie is the best, hands down. I would recommend her wholeheartedly. She just has an eye for design, and for someone that has a busy job and daily schedule like myself, she made the process so easy. I did a first floor remodel (living room, family room, full kitchen update) and a master bathroom remodel with Debbie. It looks exquisite. I would use her services for any project I have in the future without hesitation. **★★★★★ — HU-892159841, Oct. 2020** > We absolutely loved working with Debbie! She brought such a level of expertise to even the most minute detail of our home-building experience- She would listen to our ideas first, and then would bring her ideas into the mix - it became a wonderful marriage of finding just the right blend, and it worked time and time again with everything we worked on together- Debbie was with us in the planning stage of the design of our home, then throughout the build, and finally in the furnishing of our home- Every step of the way, Debbie helped make our dream home become a reality, and she is without a doubt, THE BEST to work with in the business ! **Comment from Debbie Sykes:** > Great people, great home, great setting, and architecture. I was blessed to be a small part of the creation!!!! **★★★★★ — HU-675221490, Oct. 2020** > Debbie is amazing! She has assisted us from the design of our new home to the interior decorating. She helped select the furniture, fabrics, tile and more! Our home has come together beautifully! **★★★★★ — kellyaschilling, Oct. 2020** > If 10 stars were an option, that is what I would give her. Debbie was the first interior decorator I ever hired, and to date, she she helped me with my kitchen, as well as my family room. If you are like me, I have zero vision. I know I want something better, something that feels like me, and a space I want to be in-I just have no idea how to make that happen. Debbie somehow knows exactly, and does it so efficiently. She is genuine, straight to the point, but not pushy whatsoever, and give you lots of options. I am planning on moving in the next 2 years, and will absolutely plan on using Deb right from the beginning. If you are on the fence about hiring her, don't be. You absolutely will be thrilled with your decision. ## Selected projects - [Long Boat Key](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/long-boat-key-pj-vj~1598193) - Location: Longboat Key, FL - Photos: 25 - [Homearama 2016](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/homearama-2016-pj-vj~2063691) - Location: Xenia, OH - Photos: 35 - [Franklin](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/franklin-pj-vj~5945573) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - Description: Total addtion and renovation - [Fife - Yellow Springs](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fife-yellow-springs-pj-vj~870875) - Location: Yellow Springs, OH - Photos: 6 - [Hart](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hart-pj-vj~869098) - Location: Dayton, OH - Photos: 1 - [10 Days of Design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/10-days-of-design-pj-vj~869128) - Location: Dayton, OH - Photos: 4 - [Sykes Kitchens and Baths](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sykes-kitchens-and-baths-pj-vj~565698) - Location: Dayton, OH - Photos: 3 - [Homearama 2005](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/homearama-2005-pj-vj~24599) - Location: Dayton, OH - Photos: 7 - [Stanley](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stanley-pj-vj~842065) - Location: Dayton, OH - Photos: 1 - [Dodok](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dodok-pj-vj~898252) - Location: Dayton, OH - Photos: 1 - [Bidwell](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bidwell-pj-vj~898244) - Location: Dayton, OH - Photos: 2 - [Forrest](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/forrest-pj-vj~868025) - Location: Dayton, OH - Photos: 5 - [Marlatt](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/marlatt-pj-vj~869100) - Location: Dayton, OH - Photos: 3 - [Wellington Manor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wellington-manor-pj-vj~869115) - Location: Wellington, OH - Photos: 7 - [Pohlman](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pohlman-pj-vj~869109) - Location: Dayton, OH - Photos: 1 - [Showhouse 2002](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/showhouse-2002-pj-vj~869119) - Location: Dayton, OH - Photos: 3 - [Showhouse 2005](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/showhouse-2005-pj-vj~869124) - Location: Dayton, OH - Photos: 5 - [Yankee Trace](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/yankee-trace-pj-vj~5886729) - Location: Dayton, Ohio - Photos: 6 - [Aberfield](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/aberfield-pj-vj~5884833) - Location: Miamisburg, Ohio - Photos: 5 - [Wood Ridge](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wood-ridge-pj-vj~5884830) - Location: Dayton, Ohio - Photos: 5 [See all 28 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/debbie-sykes-pfvwus-pf~1291916885) ## Ideabooks - [art for niches](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/44794568/list/art-for-niches) — 58 ideas - [Fireplaces](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/119976076/list/fireplaces) — 64 ideas - [bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/50464410/list/bathrooms) — 22 ideas - [kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/53557432/list/kitchens) — 22 ideas - [Laundry Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/117252847/list/laundry-rooms) — 9 ideas - [Creative Design Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/116389684/list/creative-design-ideas) — 1 idea - [High Top Tables](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/116096291/list/high-top-tables) — 2 ideas - [Room Dividers](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/116032992/list/room-dividers) — 7 ideas - [bunk beds](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/50464383/list/bunk-beds) — 7 ideas - [Front Doors](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/115649775/list/front-doors) — 10 ideas - [Showers](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/115153147/list/showers) — 6 ideas - [Bathroom Vanities](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/114828920/list/bathroom-vanities) — 11 ideas - [Window Treatments](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/114728634/list/window-treatments) — 6 ideas - [Home Bars](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/114703135/list/home-bars) — 18 ideas - [Shiplap Baths](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/103735602/list/shiplap-baths) — 8 ideas - [Klein](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/60597594/list/klein) — 2 ideas - [windows](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/53584435/list/windows) — 8 ideas - [exterior living](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/53557417/list/exterior-living) — 2 ideas - [Fireplace TV wall](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/51274653/list/fireplace-tv-wall) — 34 ideas - [mud rooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/60159432/list/mud-rooms) — 1 idea [See all 33 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/debsykes) ## Community Q&A **Q: Where did you buy the grey settee/Chaise in front of the window?
