We had a garage full of furniture we loved and didn't know where it would fit. > I'm so glad I called Terri before I made the costly mistake of selling my garage full of furnishings. She listened to my desires and needs for function and surely delivered. Terri is able to envision a rooms full potential and gets so excited to make it happen. She moved my furniture in such a way I never could have imagined...all while using the furniture in the garage. > She helped us pick just the right color of paint and gave us great ideas for the finishing touches. > I highly recommend Terri for your design renovations/challenges for your home or office. She listens to her clients and is very warm and personable. > > Call Terri you will be so glad you did! **★★★★★ — Louise Conway, April 2017** > I hired Terri Wise to stage a house I was selling last Fall. Then,because that went so well ( it sold in 3 weeks,in December, with multiple offers). and she was lovely to work with, I also hired her to design my new house, which is almost finished > I can't say enough about Terri! She has amazing creativity, is flexible, thorough knowledge of the industry and trends, and, best of all, Terri is delightful to work with. She makes your project fun! > I have worked with several designers in the past, but Terri Wise is the one I would work with again and recommend to my friends. **★★★★★ — Cindy Cameron, April 2017** > Terri provided the highest quality service with integrity and professionalism. Our home was beautifully decorated. We will continue to use Interior Makeovers for all our design needs. **★★★★★ — Elizabeth Callaway, April 2017** > Terri is an absolute gem! She is creative, and talented, and knows how to keep on budget and schedule! We have worked together on many occasions, and I have recommended her to many clients for staging prior to sale, as well as interior design for clients creating their sanctuary... She was originally referred to me by clients and friends who have worked with her on several beautiful homes, and they have particularly excellent taste as well as very high standards. **★★★★★ — jill\_curson, April 2015** > We recently had the pleasure of working with Terri Wise of Interior Makeovers during our office move and remodel. Terri designed the style and choose the colors of our new offices to create a modern vibe while maintaining the elegance of a well-established business environment. Terri has the ability to transform a space into something extraordinary by using her creative vision of color and art placement. She recently transformed our entire office using existing art pieces in such creative ways that the pieces looked new to us. At our recent office opening party our guests could not stop talking about the transformation – we are thrilled with the results! > I would highly recommend Ms. Wise – she is fun, inspiring and a joy to work with. **★★★★★ — revboyd, March 2015** > Terri is a genius, and I have worked with her probably 5 times now, over a period of 8 years. I first met her when I was staging a house to sell. It looked so good after she did it, I dropped a jaw when I saw it. Wow. I had to remind myself why I was leaving. No kidding, she transformed the place using my existing stuff, often placing furnishings and wall hangings in locations where I just would never have thought to put them. (After seeing my post-staged house, a good friend told me I was "crazy" to sell it -- still makes me laugh. Never got any comments like that before the staging!) > > Terri's very reasonable price well paid for itself -- I had a full price offer within 2 weeks of listing in an extremely difficult market. One year later she staged for one of my neighbors a block away; they got an offer even faster than I did. > > Plenty of designers have an eye for design, she has more than that. She excels at using stuff you already have to work miracles. She might suggest you get a lamp, plant, and/or pillows to help realize a vision, but she'll never try to persuade you to spend a lot of money on new furnishings. > > If you DO want new stuff, she will help with that too. She has coached me on purchases where I felt unsure of color or design. She will also shop on your behalf and find treasures for you if you want. Or, if you see something you love, a large vase, ottoman, whatever, but you're not sure where to put it, she can just "see" right away what a great place for it would be. She is also very skilled at selecting paint colors. > > Another thing Terri brings is fun. You might call her glamorous, so when I first met her I wondered if she'd be stiff or formal. Not at all. She's a native San Diegan, a cool local gal who has a lot of heart, very down to earth. She enjoys what she does and it shows. She's smart and energetic and she knows how to pull a house (or a room) together. Love her. > > Whether you want a new feel to your home using the furnishings you already have, or whether you want all new stuff, Terri delivers. I have never been a natural at interior design, and I am so glad I found Terri. Ten thousand thumbs up for Interior Makeovers. **★★★★★ — ask92037, March 2015** > We have had the privilege of working with Terri Wise on three office design projects over the past 10 years, the latest having been completed this month (March 2015). She is most professional and experienced. She works well with us in sharing ideas and possibilities. All three times, when we were moving and enlarging our office space, we called on her because of the positive and most attractive office designed results. Her fees are appropriate and reasonable. We gladly recommend her design approach and services. **★★★★★ — megagner, March 2015** > Terri Wise of Interior Makeovers worked with us on two occasions. She did a fabulous job helping us set up a our new house. When we added a room on to our home we asked her to come back and help with the new addition. She helped with matching the paint, floor, furniture, etc. but at the same time allowed our much loved antique furniture and unique artwork shine through. **★★★★★ — summerlvr, March 2015** > Fantastic! I didn't realize I had so many "jewels" in my house until Interior Makeovers came in. Loved the placement of my furniture, lamps, pictures and accessories in both the living room and the family room. The ideas were uplifting., I also loved her patience with me. She helped me to pick out my tile (of which I had samples) and made suggestions for a few new purchases. I would recommend Interior Makeovers to everyone! **★★★★★ — barbm6521, March 2015** > Interior Makeovers did an amazing job staging my home mostly with the existing furniture and some custom work that was needed to sell the house. I lived in La Costa and Terri came highly recommended and I followed up on others that used her services and decided "Interior Makeovers" was the best choice I ever made. The house looked amazing when I returned after a few days, I was almost rethinking about not selling when I came home, but needed to be back in Canada. I listed the ranch style home at a reasonable price of $799,000. The opening day brought in 14 bids and a bidding war went on and the house sold for $1,100,000. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT! > It truly makes a difference on first impressions when someone walks through the door, I would use "Interior Makeovers" if I wanted to sell my home or have a fresh new look that will make your home "YOURS" for many years to enjoy.....Sincerely, Barbara Mourin **★★★★★ — Julie Caster, March 2015** > What a wonderful experience it was working with Terri of Interior Makeovers. She helped me with my daughter's room makeover and our living room makeover. She has great expertise in choosing paint colors to complement the design. She is very knowledgable in the area of furniture and picture placement to bring the room a fresh new look. She works tirelessly and puts her whole self into her work. Her energy and enthusiasm are contagious! I'm looking forward to working with her on future projects. **★★★★★ — Vernay Justice-Royster, March 2015** > After numerous attempts at trying to give my mom's somewhat "dated" living room the Wow Factor, I went online to find a professional to take over this task. This is when I found Terry, and boy am I pleased! She came in, sent mom away for the day and brought some much needed life into the home. Mom was so pleased and cannot just walk by the room without stopping to look at it. We are so pleased with Terry's work and will definitely be using her again. She gave us ideas that we would have never thought about. She is also very fun to work with. I personally had so much fun shopping with her. You cannot lose by hiring her for your interior makeover. ## Selected projects - [Downtown San Diego condo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/downtown-san-diego-condo-pj-vj~7142666) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Family Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/family-room-pj-vj~2864435) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Master bedroom coffee cart](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-bedroom-coffee-cart-pj-vj~3030925) - Location: Rancho Santa Fe, CA - Photos: 1 - [Outdoor Entry](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-entry-pj-vj~2966582) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Holiday Decor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/holiday-decor-pj-vj~2854839) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Christmas Decorating](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/christmas-decorating-pj-vj~2846429) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Southwest Entry](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/southwest-entry-pj-vj~2818521) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Farm house entry.](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/farm-house-entry-pj-vj~2795733) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Library Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/library-room-pj-vj~2732917) - Location: Del Mar, CA - Photos: 1 - [Living room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/living-room-pj-vj~964126) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 44 - [Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~958352) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bedroom-pj-vj~969494) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Office](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/office-pj-vj~966207) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathroom-pj-vj~961602) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Box seating at PetCo Park San Diego](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/box-seating-at-petco-park-san-diego-pj-vj~961598) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 [See all 15 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/interior-makeovers-pfvwus-pf~1670271962) ## Ideabooks - [RIVER](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/105734318/list/river) — 11 ideas - [Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/93946756/list/kitchen) — 8 ideas - [INTERIOR MAKEOVERS's Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/63921331/list/interior-makeovers-s-ideas) — 18 ideas [See all 3 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/twise66) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
