Most recently was assisting with acquiring new living room furniture, choosing new wall paint colors, and suggesting fun wall papers for the foyer. She made suggestions for several furniture showrooms and stores, all of which where extremely helpful (they also spoke highly of Maquette Design). Donna is so upbeat, encouraging, and highly skilled. She has been an absolute pleasure to work with and we have several more upcoming projects where her ideas and resources are going to be invaluable to us. We highly and enthusiastically recommend Donna and Maquette Interior Design. ### All 37 reviews **★★★★★ — agurucki, May 2026** > Donna, Anita, and the team at Maquette were an absolute pleasure to work with on the remodel of my home, especially the kitchen and bathrooms. They were attentive to both my budget and timeline while delivering an exceptional level of quality and professionalism. Their communication was outstanding from start to finish, including the detailed remodel drawings they provided. They were always ready to step-in and find solutions whenever any concerns came up. I highly recommend them and would happily work with them again. **★★★★★ — Oliver Wong, March 2026** > Maquette was great to work with. Everyone I interacted with from their office was friendly and easy to work with. Their communication is great and they are very responsive. Whenever we had an issue, they were always helpful in coming up with solutions. They work well to understand the client's needs and their design/drawings are complete with all the information one would need to complete the project. I would be excited to work with them again on any future project **★★★★★ — kateecker, Jan. 2026** > I have worked with one of the Principals for decades on numerous projects. They always provide a great combination of advice and listening to my goals and ideas. I've done projects ranging from furnishing main rooms in a new house, to full design of a beach house in Mexico, and most recently a small bathroom renovation. They were always creative, magnificent at color guidance and have respected my budgetary constraints. I strongly recommend them! **★★★★★ — HU-887780829, Jan. 2026** > Anita and the Maquette team worked very well with both deadlines and budgets throughout the project. They worked with me virtually when my travel and work schedule prevented me from being physically present; they sent my pictures and specifications so I could choose and they could purchase and arrange delivery for a time that was convenient for me when I was back in town. They helped me set a clear vision for my apartment and I absolutely love the end result. It truly feels like home. I trust them and highly recommend them to anyone, especially anyone starting from scratch (as I was) and on a budget (as I was). **★★★★★ — Michelle Cirillo, Oct. 2025** > As a general contractor who’s worked with the Maquette Interior Design team on several projects now, we can honestly say they set the standard for collaboration, efficiency, and bringing a client’s project to life. > > From the start, they help create a clear, inspiring vision for clients and outline the practical steps to execution. We really appreciate how well they communicate and coordinate across all parts of a project. They are in constant communication with us, the builders, as well as the vendors and clients. Their attention to detail is top-notch, and they’re always a step ahead in helping everyone stay on track. We especially appreciate their commitment to tracking finish and fixture selections. They are on top of every selection every step of the way. This relieves so much stress for our clients and us! We wish every design team was as efficient as Maquette! > > On top of all that, they make the work enjoyable. The Maquette team brings great energy and professionalism to every job, and their passion for design really shows in the final result and in the minutiae along the way. To say that it is always a pleasure partnering with them would be an understatement. **★★★★★ — JJ, July 2025** > I’ve had the pleasure of working with Anita for over twenty years and with the Anita/Donna team at Maquette for more than a decade. They’ve helped us design and transform homes in the Bay Area, New York City, and now Los Angeles. > > From the big-picture vision to the tiniest details, Anita and Donna are truly exceptional. They’ve helped us with everything from full-scale planning and selection for new homes — living rooms, dining rooms, and primary suites — to paint color planning for individual rooms, entire floors, and even the whole house. > > They’ve redesigned kitchens and bathrooms, updated fabrics for indoor and outdoor furniture (much of which they helped us pick in the first place!), and sourced the most stunning lamps and accessories. They know how to tie a room together beautifully with placement and finishing touches. > > They’re as detail-oriented as they are creative — and that’s saying something. They’re always one step ahead: organized, responsive, and focused. Every measurement, material, and delivery is tracked with care, so you can stay focused on the fun parts without worrying about anything slipping through the cracks. > > Whether you’re taking on a full renovation or just updating a room with some new pillows, a rug, or a few perfect accent pieces, Anita and Donna will deliver. They’re creative, thoughtful, and extremely mindful of budget — always helping you get the most out of your spend. > > Creative, passionate, professional — and genuinely fun to work with. Honestly, they’re two of the most delightful people you could ever hope to work with (or have a martini!). **★★★★★ — Christianne Pang, April 2025** > I've known Anita and Donna for quite some time, so when I decided to update my kitchen, they were the first people I thought of. They made all the design choices feel straightforward and easy. While they always welcomed my input, I truly trusted their extensive experience, and they consistently offered fantastic ideas and suggestions. In addition, their network of reliable contractors and craftsmen ensured the work was completed with excellence – and within budget. > > Working with Donna and Anita truly made a difference, and I absolutely love the results we achieved. I enthusiastically recommend them (and often do!) to my neighbors, family, and friends. From the initial design process and decisions through to the final installation, they made the entire experience pleasant, even enjoyable, and I am thrilled with my new kitchen. > Thank you Team Maquette!! **★★★★★ — Diego Perez Residential Design + Consulting, April 2025** > As a residential designer, I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Donna, Anita and the Marquette team on several house remodels. I find them to be extremely professional, highly detail oriented, and reliable. Communication is important to Donna and you can count on her to follow up and keep the project moving forward. I have also seen that while Donna and Anita work to give their clients everything they want, they also incorporate balance and practicality in to the design along with adherence to the budget. Donna and the Marquette team are friendly personable people, who are easy to talk to and work with. They go the extra mile to understand their client through and through . After working with them on several complex projects, I consider them friends not just business associates. I look forward to working with them again in the future. **★★★★★ — Elizabeth Malloy, Feb. 2025** > Donna and Anita and their team were great. We did not know what we were doing - wind-blown rain led to water damage and thus the "opportunity" to make some changes. Donna and Anita were realistic with the expectations they set for pricing (and stayed within budget). They set up options for us to either go higher end or to order ourselves from West Elm. We are in Los Angeles, and they are in the Bay Area. We worked together by email and a program they had for space planning, and they also had a great network of sources in LA (rugs, refinishing and upholstering). They came to us twice to place items and conceptualize paint, art. Great experience. **Comment from Maquette Interior Design:** > Thank you Elizabeth.....we look forward to seeing you in LA! **★★★★★ — Kurt, Dec. 2024** > The Maquette team is terrific. I have worked with them for over ten years now. I did a complete remodel nearly a decade ago, and I continue to get compliments on the design and how good it looks. I have continued to call upon them since the remodel to keep my home looking wonderful. We collaborated successfully through the stages of the remodel and after, from conceptualization to installation. They also worked very well with my contractor. They are great at both the big picture and the detail, ask the right questions, and can be relied upon to follow up. Through the process their thoughtful partnership has been both personal and professional. **Comment from Maquette Interior Design:** > Thank you Kurt for your support. We look forward to manifesting your outdoor space! **★★★★★ — Charlee Phutsangdee, Dec. 2024** > I enjoy the communication and professionalism within the Maquette team. They are good at the detail, and ask the right questions. They can be relied upon to follow up. Specifically, we have collaborated successfully with them at various stages of complex projects, from conceptualization to installation. Through the process their thoughtful partnership is personal and professional. The team can be relied upon for communication and trusted with the details. **Comment from Maquette Interior Design:** > Thank you Charlee. All of us, especially Susan, enjoy working with you a well. It is a great partnership. **★★★★★ — Anna Magelssen, Nov. 2024** > Working with Maquette interior design is always a pleasure. They are detail oriented and consistently amaze me with their unique design perspective. > > I have learned over the years to not only to trust their process, but to enjoy it, they are experienced, professional, skilled and everything they create is not only stunning but very personalized and heartfelt. > > We look forward to every collaboration with the amazing team at Maquette interior design. > , > Dawson Custom Workroom **★★★★★ — AK Brady Construction, Nov. 2024** > I’ve worked with Donna and her team at Maquette Design on several projects over the years, and they consistently impress. Their creativity, attention to detail, and ability to balance design with practicality make them a true asset. They’re easy to collaborate with, communicate well, and always deliver outstanding results on time. I look forward to many more successful projects with them! > > Andy Brady from AK Brady Construction **★★★★★ — Myra, Nov. 2024** > Maquette just "got me" and understood what I wanted. I needed to get the ball rolling on improving the look and function of my living space, a rental apartment in SF. I had significant storage issues and wanted to separate out my work and dining areas. Creative solutions were needed as my apartment is small and options very limited. > > I appreciated the personalized service Christopher and Donna provided, including an initial on site visit. I enjoyed the interplay of the two designers, getting two different perspectives, basic design tips and brainstorming ideas with me. I felt like they took the time to understand me, how I live, my priorities, the project scope and my budget. > > Through a follow up virtual meeting, I was shown a range of ideas for storage, lighting, furniture placement and furniture purchasing. We discussed pros/cons, sourced other ideas together (which was great) and defined next steps, making it all digestible and actionable. They even followed up to provide an extra shot of motivation, which I needed. And now that I have taken steps, it feels really good to see my home refreshed and to enjoy the increased functionality. I feel like I have made a connection to a design team that will follow and support me in my home evolution **★★★★★ — Guillermo Bass, May 2024** > I've had the pleasure of being an industry partner with these ladies for some time now and I can't help but smile when I see them. I find Donna and Anita to be the utmost professional with a wealth of knowledge and experience to complete any job...even when that can prove difficult. The strength of their partnership is a blessing for their clients and those of us lucky enough to be able to call them colleagues. **★★★★★ — Marilyn Morrissey, April 2024** > Anita & Donna were a great find and the right choice! We knew we wanted an update but were uncertain how to achieve it. Donna and Anita asked the right questions, listened to our answers and helped us identify the style we couldn’t immediately define for ourselves. > Through the process they responded promptly to our inquiries and kept us well informed of options and timelines. When we exceeded our budget, they quickly found an alternative I did not consider a compromise. > We were so pleased with their management of this recent project we are moving ahead with them on another. **★★★★★ — Valerie Riback, Feb. 2024** > The team of Marquette Interior Design was extremely helpful as I did a massive renovation to my home. Donna and Anita helped me with every step of the project - going over the architectural designs which with their advice we made several changes, helping me pick out lighting, plumbing, tiles, flooring, knobs etc. I couldn't have done it without them. Even though, I live in New Jersey and they are located in California, they recommended all national brands so that I was able to use the showrooms on the East Coast to make my choices. They helped me with the ordering and any returns that we needed to make as well. I couldn't have done it without them. **★★★★★ — HU-376661796, Feb. 2024** > Donna and Anita were wonders to work with! They transformed my home and my downtown office and my family, friends, colleagues and I love the results. Donna and Anita do a wonderful job of learning their client’s taste, offering their incredible creative perspective, and guiding the project to beautiful and successful completion. They also did a great job of ensuring that the work stayed on schedule and within budget. I can’t recommend them highly enough; they are gems! **★★★★★ — M L, Dec. 2020** > I can't say enough wonderful things about Donna and Anita - they are such an incredible team! I appreciate how they listened to our family's needs and incorporated them into the design - from a grown up room that is incredibly beautiful yet bullet proof, to a kid friendly space that even grownups can enjoy! The best part was our master bedroom - they turned it into the peaceful oasis that we wanted. I highly recommend them! **★★★★★ — Lorraine J Moreno, Nov. 2020** > Because of Maquette’s professional expertise and design talent, we enjoy a beautiful and comfortable home life. > > With the help of the Maquette Design team, Gary and I co-created our dream home with our personal ideas. > > Maquette provided all the resources of quality building material and custom furnishings. > > Maquette provided knowledge of our condominium codes, rules of building access, as well as City of San Francisco building codes and worked closely with the architect and contractor. They monitored all building material delivery details and monitored work quality control. > > The remodeling project time spent working with Maquette also created a valued friendship and appreciation of professional designers’ service. **Comment from Maquette Interior Design:** > Thank you Lorraine and Gary. We truly appreciate your words. What a wonderful experience to work with both of you. **★★★★★ — Rachel Himmelhoch, Nov. 2020** > I cannot find enough words to describe how enjoyable my experience has been with Donna and Anita. I have done a few projects with them now, a major closet renovation, my guest bedroom, my main bedroom, and now my living room. They are active listeners, stay within your price guidelines, bring inspiring ideas, yet are willing to let you lead if that's your desire. Most important, they are beautiful souls. > > I've attached pictures of my walk-in closet which was formerly a hallway and my guest bedroom (please note - these are my pictures and were not done by a professional). **Comment from Maquette Interior Design:** > Thank you Rachel. We truly appreciate your words. It has been a pleasure. Donna and Anita **★★★★★ — Colours Construction, July 2020** > Donna has a great eye for detail. Was a pleasure to work with and look forward to our next project together! **★★★★★ — Tina M, Oct. 2019** > We found Maquette through Houzz. My husband and I had a fantastic experience working with Anita and Donna. From the very first meeting we instantly liked them and knew we would work well together. We had our living room fully designed and furnished by them including lighting choices and they also helped us pick key furniture pieces, and window treatments for other rooms. They work with any budget, are easy to communicate with, responsive, resourceful and are very passionate about what they do. They have a great eye for color & design and work with a complete understanding of the client's needs. I was so excited to see the awesome options they would bring us for everything, and then guide our choices. It took us about 6-8 months to complete the project. Susan is a great project manager and does a very good job of placing orders, following up and keeping the clients informed of the progress of the project. Together they make a very amicable, and fun to work with team. We will work with them again on the second phase of our project in some time. I love how everything turned out. I'm sad that I don't get to see them as often. They are lovely humans & a great design team! I highly recommend their service!! **★★★★★ — Aga John Rugs, Aug. 2019** > Anita and Donna are a team we've worked with on numerous projects and we're always excited to be a part of their latest project. They have a depth and breadth of experience that's invaluable and makes everything go much smoother for everyone involved. They treat each project with respect and are great representatives for their clients. Their highly inventive approach means they're able to spot not only the piece that works but the one that adds just that little bit of extra flair and style. **★★★★★ — Anton Traub, Feb. 2018** > We've embarked on an extensive exterior and exterior remodel of our home. We engage Donna and Anita to work with us and the architect on interior colors, lighting, furniture, flooring etc... Donna & Anita are a pleasure to work with. They are extremely knowledgeable and highly engaged in our project that has been going on for just over one year. > We highly recommend Maquette for their work ethics, ability to meet deadlines and budget constraints. **Comment from Maquette Interior Design:** > Thank you Anton. It is such a pleasure to work with you as well. **★★★★★ — Annette Nibley, Oct. 2016** > I have been working with Anita for fifteen years, on several houses I have owned, the most recent being a house I bought last year. The addition of Donna has been great — they make a good team. They are very creative and full of wonderful ideas. They really stay on top of all aspects of the job, as in following up with suppliers, and they keep things moving and keep me informed all along the way. It’s been a fun process, and the finished product is fabulous. I get rave reviews from everyone who comes to my house. A stunning interior! **★★★★★ — esitter, Oct. 2016** > Donna and Anita of Maquette Design are top notch. We were on the same page instantly making the process of assessing my needs seamless. I was impressed with how quickly they zeroed in on not only the visual components of my project but the practical aspects such as how the rooms will be used. Donna and Anita are energetic and very approachable. Loved the ideas they came up with for my family room/dining area/kitchen project. They were respectful of budget constraints and very helpful in suggesting high value/affordable price point options for me. Big thumbs up! **Comment from Maquette Interior Design:** > Thank you so much for this really complimentary review. We really, really appreciate it. D&A **★★★★★ — kanehartnett, April 2016** > I hired Donna & Anita to help decorate our new family room - a garage conversion project. It's success led to my next projects...redecorating the living room and master bedroom. From our first meeting, I knew that Anita's years of experience and Donna's exceptional attention to detail would be a winning combination. Their combined skills and fabulous taste made them a joy to work with. They respected (and seemed to value) my strong opinions and at the same time, introduced me to resources that I never would have been able to find on my own. My home is my happy place...in large part thanks to Maquette Interior Design! **★★★★★ — Elaine Honig, April 2016** > Donna and Anita helped me finish my home. I had remodeled, and it was time for new fabrics, some furniture and pulling it all together. We had a blast together doing it! They are an absolute pleasure to work with, have expert eyes as design, and give honest feedback. They kept their eye on budget and came ups with creative ideas to repurpose furniture that was good but just not quite right. Now, my home sings! > > Best of all, they are on top of things, consistent and have excellent communication and follow through. I recommend them frequently, and everyone who works with them thanks me for the wonderful referral. **★★★★★ — Blatt Billiards, Feb. 2016** > Anita & Donna have been excellent to work with while designing a custom pool table, dining table combination with our company. > > One can truly see the care they have for their client from their attention to detail and how easy they are to contact. > > Their personalities and professionalism have made it a fun experience. **Comment from Maquette Interior Design:** > Thank you so much for the review. We feel similarly about Blatt Billiards. It was a pleasure to work with you all and the table was perfection. **★★★★★ — brentani, July 2015** > Donna and Anita listened carefully to our needs, style preferences and challenges. They provided us with timelines, budget estimates and great creative options at different price points. We felt they really understood us and worked with us to create a home that we – and all of our friends – feels is beautiful. > > Julia and Bill **★★★★★ — bobdyl, July 2015** > My wife and I have worked with Anita and Donna for several years. They are true professionals who helped us furnish two homes which turned out incredibly well. Both times we had a highly enjoyable experience -- they helped us narrow down the dizzying number of choices the homeowner has to make when furnishing a home. And the end result reflected our taste while also being far better than what we would have achieved on our own. They also have an army of highly talented subs that can do everything from art installation to window coverings to custom cabinetry. We would absolutely work with them again (and will I'm sure)! **★★★★★ — amhills, June 2014** > Donna and Anita are amazing decorators. As we decorated our new SF house while we still lived in Los Angeles, they met our numerous challenges with patience, humor, creativity, and incredible resourcefulness. They helped us create a wide variety of rooms -- comfy family room, elegant living room, fun playroom that could also be a guest room, and cozy and fun room for a 5 year old -- that are beautiful, comfortable, and most importantly fit us and what we wanted. As other reviewers have said, they listen and provide choices that reflect what you tell them. And they would anticipate our needs and wants. When we came to stay in our house before it was fully furnished, they compiled a list of household things that they thought we would need, purchased these things, and put them in our house before we arrived. I have never worked with such thoughtful, creative people. Thanks to them, we have a beautifully decorated home that all three of us (who have different tastes) love. **★★★★★ — Robin, May 2014** > I hired Maquette Design several times, for both interior and exterior projects in my home. I love working with Donna! She's been thoughtful about understanding my preferences and sharing a design that captures my vision and enhances it. Donna started the process by creating a color palette for each room of the house. We then looked at fabrics, tiles and furniture styles. Getting alignment early meant there were no surprises. I've been thrilled with the results. Donna's also great at managing costs - being clear on the budget and helping prioritize expenses. Maquette Design has created beautiful and livable designs for my house. I highly recommend them! **★★★★★ — dawnkasten, May 2014** > We moved into our 1925 Spanish Mediterranean style home 2 years ago. While we loved the character and old-world charm of the house, we needed to undertake a complete remodel of the kitchen and three bathrooms, as well as add an addition for a family room and side porch, and lastly add an office. While we wanted all the modern amenities and conveniences, we also wished to maintain consistency or at least complimentary look and feel between the new parts of the house and the old parts of the house. We thought this might be a big challenge. > > We had a great architect to get us started but when it came time for all the finishing’s, as well as the overall look, functionality, and décor, consistent with our goals, Maquette stepped in to really make our house become a home, and a beautiful one at that. They gave extremely practical and creative advice and ideas every step of the way – from flooring to bathroom and tile design and selection, to paint colors in every room of the house (old and new parts), to window treatments and lighting, and of course furnishings. > > We enjoy staying pretty “hands on” in our home projects, and Donna and Anita are more than willing to adapt their process to “meet you where you are,” whether that be intimately involved or pretty hands off. They have the skill, creativity, and confidence to run with things and efficiently get the job done, with their access to great resources and suppliers both at the top of the line and in the budget-mid range when appropriate. > > They have an amazing sense of style and complete integrity in everything they do. And to top it off, they deliver on-time, on-budget, and make the process fun! We could not recommend them highly enough! **★★★★★ — consilience, May 2014** > My wish was for a tranquil space that fit a particular need, to provide me a space in which to live and die. What Donna and Anita gave me was a lovely space in which to spend my remaining life. That's a tall order and not a typical design need. Donna and Anita got what I wanted from the beginning and made it happen. They are both gracious and fun. > > Jim Smith, Person with ALS ## Selected projects - [Color Consultation & Interior Finishes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/color-consultation-and-interior-finishes-pj-vj~7533954) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Meet Christopher Winn, new to the Maquette Design Team.](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/meet-christopher-winn-new-to-the-maquette-design-team-pj-vj~7378246) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [Modern Wine Country Residence - Calistoga, Napa Valley](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-wine-country-residence-calistoga-napa-valley-pj-vj~1754313) - Location: Calistoga, CA - Photos: 10 - Description: This wine-country residential renovation in Calistoga, Napa Valley reimagined a former garage into a warm, elegant living space designed for relaxation and entertaining.

I am looking for an off white color and they appear. To be off white A: It was quite a while ago, so I don’t remember the color, but we generally like Benjamin Moore white dove for a soft white. For a creamier white, we like Benjamin Moore Acadia white. **Q: Bar Stools** *(in Photo Questions)* Do you have any information on where I can purchase the bar stools? A: Hello, you can go to Lee Industries. I believe that is where we got them. **Q: what’s the color of the island?** *(in Photo Questions)* Wondering what the island paint color is called A: I don't have that information easily accessible any longer. It was a few years ago that we did that project and it is most likely not in stock. Check Kravet, as it looks like one of theirs. **Q: What is the name of the granite on the island and counters?** *(in Photo Questions)* I love the granite on the island and counters. Do you know the name, for example, Viscount White, Steel Grey, etc. Thank you!! A: Sorry, I don't remember the name of the granite. It was quite exquisite - lots of taupes/browns and grays. **Q: console table for entrance** *(in Photo Questions)* where do I purchase that console table A: Hello, that is a custom made table. **Q: Pendant lights** *(in Photo Questions)* Could you please let me know the source of these pendant lights over the island? Thanks! A: Hi Meghan, unfortunately I don’t have the info on that project easily accessible any longer. I purchased them through City Lights in San Francisco, so maybe they can help you. Good Luck with your project. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-16.*
