I see so much white and beige in interior design today, which had me wondering whether color theory is still taught in design school or whether most designers are simply lacking in skill or just playing it safe. Adam, however, embraces design with color as well as design with shape and texture. He is not afraid to take on challenging assignments with respect to color, and he achieves stellar results that seem to effortlessly work together. I’m not talking about “Garanimals” type color where a few safe shades are endlessly repeated in predictable groupings; rather, we used unique color combinations that achieved the very specific feelings I wanted to reflect in each room. He is also particularly skilled at lighting design. Having studied color and light myself, these skills were very important to me. I highly recommend Adam for design projects. **Comment from Adam Paul Schiff Designs:** > Thank you so much! It was a wonderful experience designing your beautiful house! I could not be more thrilled at how it turned out! ### All 16 reviews **★★★★★ — Lisa Collazzo, Nov. 2025** > My husband and I were thrilled to purchase and furnish our new home in Arizona, but at first the process felt overwhelming. Our builder’s interior design consultant recommended Adam Schiff for our design needs, and we couldn’t be happier with that recommendation. > > From our very first conversation, Adam’s passion, creativity, and warm, approachable demeanor immediately put us at ease. He truly listened to our needs and, while keeping our personal style in mind, developed a thoughtful and organized plan. He encouraged us to step outside our comfort zone in the most supportive and productive way, resulting in a space that feels both beautifully designed and deeply personal. > > Throughout the project, Adam has coordinated every detail—from arranging electricians to enhance our lighting to sourcing furniture through his extensive network. Even though we live on the opposite coast, he has made it easy for us to furnish and style our home remotely, giving us complete confidence that everything is handled with care. > > We couldn’t be more pleased with the stunning interior that has come together. It’s colorful yet calming, and most importantly, it feels like us. We would enthusiastically recommend Adam’s services to our friends and family. **Comment from Adam Paul Schiff Designs:** > Lisa, > It was so much fun helping you design your new home and I'm thrilled with how it turned out. I'm so glad that you are just as happy! Thank you so much for trusting me! **★★★★★ — Deb, Aug. 2025** > Adam was a joy to work with. He helped me select and coordinate beautiful tile and fixtures for my remodeled master bath, which involved replacing the existing shower with a barrier-free shower for accessibility. All the materials came in on time and he worked well with my contractor. I couldn't be happier with how the finished project turned out. **Comment from Adam Paul Schiff Designs:** > Thank you so much for the kind review. It was a pleasure working with you! **★★★★★ — Shari Dee 94, May 2024** > Adam is completely focused on making his clients happy. He doesn't ever lose his patience or judge what you decide to do. Adam brought us to the trade-only showrooms to shop based upon our tastes. We had so much fun shopping with him! Adam did a great job following up on shipments and assisted in furniture placement when the majority of our furniture arrived. **Comment from Adam Paul Schiff Designs:** > Thank you for your kind words. We really had a great time putting your house together and I'm glad that you're happy with the end result! **★★★★★ — Susan, March 2024** > I've worked with Adam for about 6 plus years now and I know that he takes the time to care about clients. He is attentive to every detail. You will not just be hiring a decorator but you will hire the BEST person for YOUR needs. Do not pass up a chance to give Adam a chance to hear your needs and wants and make them all come alive !!! **★★★★★ — Ellen Betzler, Feb. 2022** > Adam has become more like family rather than just a designer and friend. He is easy to work with and anticipates your needs before you do. He is always willing to talk through anything with you and steers you in the right direction. He is with you every step of the way and takes a lot of pressure off of you. We are going to have the most amazing retirement home thanks in large part to Adam!!! **Comment from Adam Paul Schiff Designs:** > I'm so appreciative to have such wonderful clients like you! After doing 2 of your houses, I'm very fortunate to get to work with you! **★★★★★ — Barb Steeves, Feb. 2022** > Some magic happened when we found Adam on Houzz. We were looking for someone to dream with us and make that dream come true as we build our retirement home. We found Adam and much of his work appealed to us and his design sense and use of color - we knew - would stretch us in the best of ways. > > Our home is delayed in building due to the stress in the supply chain. Adam has been with us in all design selections (our choice) and he is wonderful at helping us keep to a budget and spend money where it matters most. He sources fabulous furniture and brings us the short list that we can select from and in the rare cases, we don't see what we want, he goes back to work. Our dining table is currently an Amazonite slab that he'll find a person to cut and make into a fabulous dining table. > > You'll hire Adam for his design aesthetic and you'll keep him not just because he is talented but he is a great human that you really enjoy spending time with. **Comment from Adam Paul Schiff Designs:** > Thank you so much! So grateful that the universe lined us up! It’s been incredible working with you and I can’t wait to see it all come together! **★★★★★ — edanto, April 2021** > I've been working with Adam for the past 6 months on remodeling and furnishing our new home, and am so pleased to have found him. Adam is extremely professional and he has an amazing eye for design. He's gone above and beyond to create a design which is new, fresh, and unique just for us. Adam always follows up and makes sure the project stays on track. I really appreciate how detail-oriented he is, and he's so responsive and patient...an absolute pleasure to work with. I'm looking forward to accessorizing our home next, and can't wait to see all the beautiful and special pieces that Adam has found for us! **Comment from Adam Paul Schiff Designs:** > Thank you! I had such a great time working with you and love how it turned out! **★★★★★ — Kim Nathanson, March 2021** > Adam is an AMAZING interior designer! From drab to fab, Adam has brought his innovative and creative designs to the desert creating rooms that are colorful with expression!!! Not a decorator, but a designer who makes each room unique, comfortable and livable! From inside to outside your lifestyle will be expressed through his wonderful designs! I highly recommend Adam as your new and favorite interior designer!!! **Comment from Adam Paul Schiff Designs:** > You are so sweet! I love what I do and am very passionate about changing people’s lives. Thank you! **★★★★★ — melyb34, Nov. 2020** > Adam did an amazing job listening to my needs and communicating throughout the entire process. He was great in creating a vision that fit my style. I was pleased with the items selected and his openness to guide to what worked best for my space. He really gave me ideas that I would not have considered and loved how everything came together. **Comment from Adam Paul Schiff Designs:** > Thank you so much! I loved working with you and am so happy with how it turned out! **★★★★★ — Shannon Severson, June 2020** > Adam is everything you want in a designer. With a proven track record in the industry, he is extremely knowledgeable about the full range of furnishings, wall covering, flooring, fabrics, paint, art, lighting, you-name-it. He is versatile with both interior and exterior design experience, so no need to hire a different consultant to make your outdoor spaces really sing. > > The only thing that could surpass his expertise is his awesome personality. He's fun, honest, responsible and has an incredible work ethic. His excellent communication skills mean you won't be left in the dark. He responds promptly with clear information. **Comment from Adam Paul Schiff Designs:** > Thank you so much Shannon! I really appreciate the kind words! **★★★★★ — Marla Must, June 2020** > I have the utmost respect for Adam’s work ethic, professionalism, and brilliant creativity. I could not be happier with my experience and highly recommend him. **Comment from Adam Paul Schiff Designs:** > Thank you Marla! It is always a pleasure to work with great clients! **★★★★★ — Tab Richmond, June 2020** > Adam has done several things for me over the years including both interior and outdoor projects. I could not be happier with his work. He completed each project on time and within budget. He even returned to LA from Phoenix to help me with my last project in January. Now if I can just talk him in to coming to Palm Springs to work on our new home! > > I highly recommend him -- he has extraordinary creativeness combined with the know how to execute the project! **Comment from Adam Paul Schiff Designs:** > Thank you for the kind review, Tab! Nothing makes me happier than when my clients love the job that I do :) **★★★★★ — Del Shores, June 2020** > Adam was amazing to work with, listened to my ideas, then just executed beyond what I had ever envisioned. Highly recommend. **Comment from Adam Paul Schiff Designs:** > Thank you Del! My goal is that every client is thrilled with the end result! **★★★★★ — Katie Isselhardt, June 2020** > Adam was amazing to work with on our remodel.

Our goal was to create contrast — sleek lines paired with plush, tactile fabrics, natural wood, and handcrafted details. We focused on lighting and texture to make the home glow, and curated furnishings that feel collected over time, not all at once.

We mixed antiques with modern icons — including a Charles Hollis Jones coffee table and custom drapes in Martyn Lawrence Bullard fabric — to create a home that feels sophisticated, personal, and just a bit unexpected. Bold yet refined, with every detail curated with intention.
