### Reviews

**★★★★★ — HU-937605865, Aug. 2019**

> I needed to furnish a 1000 square foot penthouse apartment. I know what I like when I see it...the problem for me is that I can’t seem to pick things that go together. Fortunately, Tatiana can!!! She spent several hours with me showing me many different options. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results!  I plan to continue consulting with Tatiana on any future designing/furnishing/decorating needs. She is a pleasure to work with.

**★★★★ — Ted Biery, March 2017**

> I have worked closely with Tatiana on a few projects. She is prompt, courteous, and has an excellent eye for design. I would hire her to do work in my own home!

**Comment from Tatiana Almieri Designs LLC:**

> Thanks, Ted!  Look forward to collaborating on many more projects in the future!

**★★★★★ — Andrew S, March 2017**

> Great consult. Our home desperately needed help, and I'm sure Tatiana often on much nicer homes. However, she wasn't at all judgmental and gave fantastic advice that was relevant to our current state and goals. In addition, she was friendly and easy to communicate with.

**Comment from Tatiana Almieri Designs LLC:**

> Thanks so much for your kind review, Andrew!  True, I work on many high-end projects, but this doesn't make YOUR project any less important.  Good design is a source of joy and everyone deserves to love their home.  Please let me know if you need any other assistance at any point, and I will do my best to help.

**★★★★★ — Randi Hedin, March 2017**

> Tatiana helped us display family photos and other memorable pictures on several of our walls in our home.  She did an amazing job with so many of them and people are always commenting on how wonderful they look on the walls. I would recommend her to anyone - she has a keen sense of style and is the consummate professional!

**Comment from Tatiana Almieri Designs LLC:**

> Thank you for a wonderful review, Randi!  Arranging gallery walls in my clients' homes is one of the most rewarding and enjoyable aspects of my job!

**★★★★★ — Liberty Bay Cabinetry & Interiors Inc., Jan. 2017**

> I have had the pleasure and honor of working with Tatiana on a couple of projects recently, and I have to say, she is such a true professional, and so creative.  She is always working to keep up with the latest and greatest trends, and has fresh ideas.  On a professional colleague level, I highly recommend her.  Our work together was SEAMLESS, and as you know, that is not always the case!  I look forward to working with this beautiful designer on future projects!

**Comment from Tatiana Almieri Designs LLC:**

> Thanks so much for a lovely review, Charlie!  I feel honored to call you my colleague and friend and I look forward to many more projects together!

**★★★★★ — Darshini Jois, Jan. 2017**

> Tatiana is an amazing designer. We are so fortunate to have run into her at GreenBaum Furnishings. She took the time to understand our preferences and helped us pick furniture that we were not only happy with but also reflects our tastes. She is all about making us feel comfortable with our choices and works with us to ensure we have reached our happy place. She has a holistic view for design. Her recommendations include not only the right furniture but also ways to balance the look in the house, importance of having good lighting and fun ways to add accents and bring colors out. Loved working with Tatiana.

**Comment from Tatiana Almieri Designs LLC:**

> Thank you so much, Darshini!  I have enjoyed working with your family and I'm so glad you are loving your space!  Look forward to tackling that "not-so-little-girl's room!:)

**★★★★★ — Trish Blank, Nov. 2016**

> We hired Tatiana for a master bath remodel. Our budget for design was very small and our timeline was very short, but she worked hard to get as much done as she could within our budget and within the window of time we had.
>
> I started off thinking I wanted one thing, and Tatiana showed me several options along that line, but she also showed me a few other "possibilities" that really excited me and we ended up going a whole different direction than we had originally planned (and that is a good thing).
>
> Tatiana is very knowledgeable and very kind. She presents you with a few choices, and then a few more and helps you narrow your project down so it doesn't seem so overwhelming. I would definitely hire her again.
>
> I am so excited to see how everything comes together. Our project should be done by January and I will post some before and after pictures then.

**Comment from Tatiana Almieri Designs LLC:**

> Thank you for your wonderful review, Trish!  I can't wait to take some pictures of the finished space!  And I look forward to assisting you on future projects!

**★★★★★ — Rick White, Oct. 2016**

> Professional, no-nonsense approach and delivering a mind blowing end result!
>  From the beginning of our 4-month remodeling journey Tatiana was a dream to work with.
> I went with my gut and trusted her from the beginning to the end of the project. Thank God I was right. She took every step of our remodel under her wing and we honestly felt like she was building her very own dream home! Letting go and having her control everything was the best decision we could have made!
>
> So what we gave Tatiana to start with is a 1970s Rambler about 1200 sq ft. 3 bedroom 1 bath and a powder room. On a side note I paid her to keep an eye on the construction guys too and make sure all her work wasn’t ever compromised. She was ON IT from the beginning to end! Helping the guys keep track of exact measurements of all the modifications etc. We have no clue how to remodel a home and was really blown away at how detailed you must be to remodel your house from ground up!
>
> We got together 2 or three times a week so she could check in and make sure we were ok with her choices. She always gave us two or three choices of things and let us know her recommendations. We always went with what she recommended. I really wanted to let her work, I had seen her previous jobs and knew that she could do wonders if she just had the reigns. Anyway, I’ll have to cut this short since it’s a review on a site.
> Below are the things that stood out to us that Tatiana did to take care of us and our needs.
> 1)She was 100% honest with us and what she spent. What a relief to have someone who loves their job and was in it yes to make money but let us know where every dime was spent!
>
> 2)He attention to detail from the Tile Grout to the Cabinets to the Appliance that match the hardwood floors. AMAZING!
>
> 3)She worked soooooooooo hard on our home! Work many hours for free to make sure everything was perfect! We never asked her to, she just did it on her own! What a doll! So sweet!
>
> 4)She is SUPER passionate about her job as an Interior Designer.
>
> 5)She is ON IT! Everyone she hired she was at every delivery sending things back if they weren’t just right! Never compromising on quality and never worried about returning something if it wasn’t perfect! (this is hard for both me and my wife we hate returning things).
>
> 6)Everything she chose for our design was BRILLIANT! Absolutely gorgeous! We never in  a million years would have though our little tiny horribly designed Rambler with ugly cabinets, ugly carpet, horrible layout of the house could look like it does now. MIND BLOWING! I uploaded a few photos.
>
> 7)4 Months of exquisite design work. She not only designed our Interior but asked if we would mind if she could help us with the exterior as well. For nothing! Just because we had a great rapport and she wanted to help us make our dreams come true. She did!
>
> 8)So long story short she was the best person for the job, the best person for the design, the best person for her honesty, the best person for her passion, the best person for her smarts about the whole job inside and out.
>
> If you want the best in the business of Interior Design, hire Tatiana Hisel. You will NOT be disappointed. Just let her do what she does and I recommend not getting in her way! She will blow your mind after you see the work she does! We think she is a peach and are glad she was on our project. We actually messaged a couple other people on Houzze.com in the Washington area and got no reply. Probably because they thought our job was too small for them? It was a complete remodel inside and out so too bad they didn’t reply but I’m so glad they didn’t! We got the bestest in the state! No doubt about it!

**Comment from Tatiana Almieri Designs LLC:**

> Wow, thank you for this amazing review, Rick!  As I have told you on many occasions, your renovation is one of my top favorite projects of all time!  I am honored with the trust you and your family gave me and I hope you enjoy your lovely home for many years to come!

**★★★★★ — Sofia Krasnovskaya, Jan. 2016**

> I have wanted a change for my family room for a long time and I was just stuck, not knowing which direction to go.  Tatiana sourced a perfect sofa and chairs within my budget.  She also resolved my flooring dilemma and the contractor she recommended was wonderful.  My family room actually feels like a brand new space now.  So happy!

**★★★★★ — Amy Hong, Jan. 2016**

> Tatiana was on top of our extensive home remodel project to the last detail. This was our first remodel and we were nervous but Tatiana heard what we were looking for and searched high and low until we loved each and every decision made regarding finishes. The end product is amazing and we get compliments any time we have visitors, especially regarding our custom kitchen Aqua backsplash. She's decisive, sharp with details, and knows her design. On the side, she's got plenty of experience regarding cabinetry too as a bonus!

**Comment from Tatiana Almieri Designs LLC:**

> Thanks for a wonderful review, Amy! It means a lot to me! I hope you have many happy memories in your fabulous home! I was honored to be a part of this remodeling journey!:)

**★★★★★ — ramesh\_seela, Nov. 2015**

> I am a first-time home buyer. We employed Tatiana (Tanya) as the interior design consultant for a new single family home under construction (by Murray Franklyn). We chose Tanya based on excellent reviews provided by fellow colleagues who had previously benefited from her services.
>
> We engaged her very early in the home building process. Although we originally planned to use her services for furniture selection, we extended her project scope to get recommendations on interior paint selection, bathroom upgrades, kitchen upgrades, flooring upgrades as well. Her expert advise has resulted in a very beautiful home well appreciated by family, friends, and acquaintances.
>
> Tanya is customer-obsessed and went out of her way to capture our design preferences, budget constraints, and family needs before proposing a set of choices for each selection. She patiently listened to our feedback and explored additional options as needed. The stress-free experience has helped us finalize upgrades and furniture selection for the entire home (living room, Dining room, family room, bed rooms, prayer room, recreation room). Tanya also helped us choose appliances and accessories whenever we asked for her help.
>
> Tanya is very professional, completed work ahead of time, and very willing to accommodate our schedules at quick notice. She applied her designer discounts towards our furniture purchases at various retail stores to help us realize up to 30% savings. Her fees are very reasonable - she charged us on an hourly basis and we had an option to end the consultation as needed.
>
> Overall, Tanya's services have removed stress out of our home buying experience without breaking our budget. I strongly recommend her services to anyone either purchasing a home or re-modeling their existing home.

**Comment from Tatiana Almieri Designs LLC:**

> Ramesh, thank you for this great feedback!  I love working with you and your family and I look forward to our installation day!  It is going to be gorgeous!!!:)

**★★★★★ — freddyblogggs, Aug. 2015**

> Tatiana met us at Contract Furnishings Mart in Redmond to work with us on backsplash tile selection for a kithchen remodel project.  We had already picked out our new granite and gave that to Tatiana in advance, as well as pictures of our kitchen area.  By the time we got to CFM, she had already picked out 15 or more possible suggestions for tile.  We reviewed all the selections she came up with, along with a few more she pulled as she learned our taste - it was very helpful to have someone that knows all the inventory when there are hundreds of possible directions to go in.  She was very helpful on color compatability with our new granite and also recommended a tile orientation that would look more contemporary to match our taste (hadn't even thought about that!)  She had a good process for eliminating the tile we liked the least, until we got it down to the top two or three.  Final selection was something we probably would not have found on our own.  Great designer, highly recommeded and we would definitely consult with her again.

**Comment from Tatiana Almieri Designs LLC:**

> Thank you so much for a wonderful feedback!  I look forward to seeing the pictures of the finished project!:)

  - Location: Sammamish, WA
  - Photos: 9
  - Description: This newly built home in Sammamish needed distinctive design touches to reflect my clients' personal style. This project was two-fold: first, I was hired to assist them in all the finish selection process with the builder, to ensure we would have a cogent and harmonious palate to work with. I was able to negotiate some minor structural and architectural changes with the builder - minor to the builder but these changes made a big difference in how the house would later function. The second phase…
- [Kitchen and Family Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-and-family-room-pj-vj~2076394)
  - Location: Bellevue, WA
  - Photos: 4
  - Description: This project is a good example of the range of tasks we are asked to undertake. We designed and specified cabinetry, layout and finishes for the kitchen, mud room, and home office. We also designed a custom fireplace wall utilizing semi-custom cabinetry line. Beautiful Cambria slab is was definitely everybody's favorite part of the project. To balance the high cost of this incredible material, we recommended a more cost-effective porcelain tile for the backsplash. Accessories, lighting and seati…
- [Bothell Rambler - A Complete Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bothell-rambler-a-complete-remodel-pj-vj~2080501)
  - Location: Bothell, WA
  - Photos: 11
  - Description: This was complete renovation of a small rambler. Some spaces were completely reconfigured, while others, only cosmetically changed, but, overall, every square foot of this home was updated. Tatka Home was responsible with every single element of interior design, as well as exterior paint, lighting and hardware. On the inside, every detail was painstakingly coordinated, from the baseboards to the ceiling finish. The result is a beautiful, cozy and very livable space!
- [Contemporary Remodel in Bellevue](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-remodel-in-bellevue-pj-vj~1383922)
  - Location: Bellevue, WA
  - Photos: 9
  - Description: The clients, a young professional couple with 2 small children, had purchased a very old house in an established Bellevue neighborhood. The goal of this project was to create a space which would accommodate this growing family by raising the roof line and adding to the footprint. Semi-custom Canadian cabinetry line was specified for the kitchen and all the bathrooms, glass tile in 3 colors mixed in sporadically as well as hand-blown Italian glass pendants enhanced the kitchen and brought clients…

  - Description: This converted dining room serves as an office for a home business. Navy walls, exaggerated, sculptural crown molding by Metri, custom library cabinet - all of these elements add to the restrained elegance and ambiance of the space, while the custom nature of the project allows the client to have a very functional space. Favorite touch: the ceiling is painting a color with the subtle blue hue, which creates beautiful shadows on the ceiling when the chandelier is turned on:)

## Community Q&A

**Q: How many inches is the mantel?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: This was a new built and the mantel was already there when we were retained, so, no measurement on file, sorry:)

**Q: Help picking a quartzite, please!** *(in Polls)*

I have dark brown cabinets, light beige porcelain wood looking floors, and stainless steel appliances. I want to lighten my granite and backsplash. so far we’ve narrowed it down to Taj Mahal, Madre Pearl, and White Pearl quartzites....any suggestions??

A: I have to agree with the previous commenters. If you choose to keep your granite, pick the lightest tone in the granite and use that as a guideline for selecting your new backsplash.
As far as the new stone countertop, I favor Madre Pearl, it has a very bright and neutral tone.

**Q: Love the stone on the fireplace! Can you please tell me what it is?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: We had a limited engagement on this project, i.e designing custom cabinetry only, and tile was done by the contractor hired directly by the client, but I believe it was some sort of  ledger stone.

**Q: How to put wall art on top of the bed?** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Is there any recommendations for color,size and how far it should be placed from the bed?
Thanks

A: I normally do not advise my clients to place anything over the bed, for safety reasons, but, also, in your case, placing tall framed art above each night stand would work much better with the established overall geometry of this space.  Hope this helps!

**Q: Window trim and curtains or not??** *(in Design Dilemma)*

I couldn't decide about whether to put trim around this big sliding glass door, as we were redoing the base and door trim around the house. I went with yes, but I'm second guessing. Also, should I put curtains? I was thinking the windows were too close to the wall, but through another post. Someone suggested it and now I'm reconsider. Thoughts?
￼

A: I would!  You have a nice height over the top of your slider, so I would install your hardware as close to the ceiling as possible, and, even if you don't need any privacy, you could use some light-filtering fabric and it would look gorgeous!  Of course, if budget would permit, I would also hire a contractor and have him set you up with a drywall pocket, or a cornice (see pics below) where you can have the drapery installed in a recessed manner, so that you can't even see the hardware.

**Q: Need Lighting for Wild Powder Room in Vegas House** *(in Design Dilemma)*

This powder room has copper pressed tin ceilings, crazy tile and backsplash (no idea of materials but that is a cobalt blue glass marble of sorts, prior owner created this) and we like it!  We need lighting over the mirror, the current one broke.  Please help me with ideas.  It's a very funky and unique bathroom so we are open to ANY ideas!

A: I agree with Humberto.  Here is an example of a sconce you could use.  I would also address the overhead lighting.  If you don't have any recessed lighting already, I would invest in having LED recessed installed. https://www.houzz.com/products/capital-lighting-8523ag-cr-blakely-3-light-vanity-fixture-antique-gold-prvw-vr~54920714
