What does Design a la Carte mean?
What can we do for you?
It means you get exactly what you want and need, no more no less.  Just as ordering in a restaurant, a la carte can be less expensive than ordering straight off the menu.  Pick and choose what works for your family and lifestyle.  Many clients can do some of the work themselves saving money, or if time is more important we can do everything including bringing all the samples directly to your home.  Many projects can be done in stages, starting with the most important and working thru the list when time and money allow.
Our ultimate goal is to provide you with a space that calls you home because you love it!  It should function and flow as well as be comfortable, enhance your quality of life and bring you many years of enjoyment. We focus on design for our client’s desires, needs and budgets.  It is important to get thru the process of remodeling, building or renovation with humor, attention to detail and a thrilling ending to the project.

### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Debra Bogar, Feb. 2025**

> Outstanding! I had a really great experience working with Pam. She is talented, dependable and easy to work with. My goal was to gut and completely re-do my 1980's kitchen and dining area. Thanks to Pam's guidance, ideas and team of contractors, I now have the most beautiful and functional kitchen possible. It's so much better than I even expected at the beginning. And to top it off, I also have new tile around my fireplace and paint on the wall...that is gorgeous. I highly, highly recommend working with Pam on your project(s).

**★★★★★ — krlenhart, Sept. 2022**

> Our experience with Design a la Carte and designer Pam was nothing short of amazing.  We are so happy with the final
> results.  Making the change from the drab contractor browns to the beautiful blue hues has transformed our bathroom
> into a peaceful relaxing spa.  She demonstrated her experience and knowledge throughout the whole process. To taking every phone call (there were many), always being available to help us choose product and colors and reassuring us in our choices.  Working with Pam was without a doubt the best decision we made.

**★★★★★ — Patricia Schmittet, July 2022**

> Pam was wonderful to work with. She got my started and stayed on top of the process until the end. With her recommendations for cabinets, vendors and a great contractor, I now have a wonderful walk-in pantry. Thanks fo all your help.

**★★★★★ — mpetrocco, July 2022**

> Pam has excellent insight into your individual tastes. She will assist with choosing the right products, which reflect your choices thereby creating a remodeled room that matches your preferences and blends with the entire home.

**★★★★★ — Margaret and Alberto Gutierrez, Aug. 2021**

> Working with Pam on our kitchen reno was an absolute delight!  She gave us advice, wonderful ideas and counsel—encouraging and expanding upon our vision while holding firm and gently pushing back when needed. My spouse and I had very different design ideas, but Pam miraculously was able to weave them together into a kitchen we both love, that updates yet complements its 1910 origins, and our family will enjoy for years to come.

**★★★★★ — annette mandock, May 2020**

> Pam was a pleasure to work with!   She brings fresh ideas and a wonderful energy to her work.  It's obvious that she enjoys what she is doing.  Pam was easily reached and responded to my numerous inquiries quickly.  Our project finished in a very timely manner which was even more impressive, considering we were in the midst of the Covid pandemic.  Pam has a fantastic list of vendors that she'll share with you.  These were all highly competent companies/individuals. i would gladly share Pam as a referral.

**★★★★★ — karenkal54, Sept. 2019**

> We had the pleasure of working with Pam Fischer of Design ala Carte for the remodeling of our Master Bath.  Pam was great at helping us realize our dreams for this room and instrumental in helping us save time and money in completing the project.   Should another design project come up, we'll be sure to talk with Pam first.

**★★★★★ — maxwellq2, Sept. 2019**

> Design A la Carte, Pam, helped my husband and me with our move to a new condo as we downsized after retiring from the workforce and our children were all scattered about. We had a blank slate with which to work as we moved into a condo with no furniture from our previous home. We needed guidance through the process of establishing a scheme as we selected new pieces for our home. We pulled the living space together with relative ease, but are sure it would have been months without her guidance. She led us through the design process for the kitchen remodel and was extremely helpful throughout the remodel. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing interior design assistance or remodel work and I have already done so.

**★★★★★ — Paul Bary, Sept. 2019**

> I was introduced to Pam though her participation the Denver Historical Society's contractor list to work on a kitchen remodel in our 1928 bungalow style home. She is an absolute delight to work with! She identified immediately with our desire to keep a retro feel to the room and has guided us in design considerations as well as pointing us to great purchase sources for products, appliances, and installation contractors. I view her as our project manager who brings a wealth of hands on experience wrapped in a superb sense of style and customer sensitivity. I recommend her highly and with reservation!

**★★★★★ — J Lindsey Lane, April 2019**

> This is the second project I've worked on with Pam. She is very talented, an excellent listener, and able to tune in quickly to the client's needs. She is always available by phone or email and gives excellent design suggestions and advice. I highly recommend her.

**★★★★★ — Brenda Czaban, Oct. 2018**

> Pam’s services are one of the best investments I’ve ever made!  She quickly attuned to my needs and preferences in terms of style, but she also came up with thoughts and ideas I would never have thought of on my own.  She was accessible, approachable, and generous with her time.  She took a hands-on approach when I needed it, but also gave me plenty of space to try different things.  Oh – and in addition to her interior design services, she connected me with a wealth of trusted resources that made my remodel so much easier!  I cannot recommend Pam and Design a la Carte highly enough :)

**★★★★★ — Linda Montgomery, Oct. 2018**

> Pam was a great resource for redoing our kitchen, and she was great for us in particular.  That's because we wanted to do our kitchen step-by-step, and Pam gave us whatever guidance we needed when we needed it.  She has really great supply and services contacts and not only did we get excellent hardware and appliances from them, but we saved a lot of money due to the discounts she could offer us.  Pam was also critical in helping us choose our countertop granite, which ended up being a huge plus for our project.
