First and foremost, Sylvia has impeccable taste. After consulting with us to gauge our wants and preferences, she worked with us to design and execute a living space that we absolutely love. She was very open to listening to and considering our input and preferences, but really embodies the confidence, experience, know-how and maturity to execute a large scale project. She really gave us the entire package to truly transform our space, including several personal touches that we really love - our personal bookshelf, a reading nook, and a gallery wall of family photos that we simply love to look at. Sylvia has such a positive energy, and was really wonderful to work with. She was a reassuring force in what could have been a stressful time. Our only regret - not consulting with her at an earlier stage! **★★★★★ — richbsd, Jan. 2017** > If you envision decorating your home in a contemporary style, Sylvia Beez of m.a.p. interiors can make your dream a reality. She has a genius for blending color and shape, which she used to translate our vague vision into a beautiful living room and dining room in our downtown San Diego condo. The look incorporates both our personalities and the personality of the space, and is modern, sophisticated, comfortable, and warm, not stark or industrial like some modern designs. She charges a flat (very reasonable fee), so her choice of furnishings is influenced only by the best choice for her client, not how much commission she receives from a particular vendor. (Savings on our furniture purchases from Sylvia’s designer discount probably exceeded her designer fee.) Sylvia is a lovely person, easy to work with, detail oriented, and replies quickly to questions and feedback. But when we made suggestions that did not work for the design, Sylvia was not afraid to say “no.” We are so pleased with the outcome of our initial project, that we are hiring her to decorate the rest of our condo. **★★★★★ — Cecilia Kim, March 2016** > I should be ashamed of myself that I didn't leave Sylvia a review sooner. She redesigned our family room for us. It was a clunky space with a large TV, no decoration what-so-ever and an asymmetrical fireplace that just looked out of place. > > Sylvia came in, listened to our ideas, and then delivered a wonderful design, along with tons of examples of what furnishings would go where. She was also quite prompt in getting back to us with suggestions and ideas when we ran into some problems/questions with the contractors. > > What I love about Sylvia though? She was not afraid to say "no" to some ideas. I like a designer who sticks to her guns, is patient and professional, and is quite easy to work with. > > I would recommend Sylvia to anyone. **★★★★★ — ginandaniel, Aug. 2015** > Sylvia created a wonderful mid-century / contemporary plan for our condo in San Diego. It turned out beautifully. Sylvia's vision and knowledge paired well with our own views on style and taste, and the comfortable environment we sought. She worked with sub-contractors to make sure those jobs were done thoroughly and as planned. She worked closely with us to truly understand our likes and dislikes in order to create our beautiful living spaces. She knows how to work with a budget, and where spending more vs. less should occur. We highly recommend m.a.p. interiors for projects such as ours. > EF & GD **★★★★★ — lolafilatova, Aug. 2015** > Very responsive, detailed oriented, professional and helpful. Sylvia was great and provided excellent recommendations for our medical spa. Will work with Sylvia again. **★★★★★ — Armando Vieira, June 2015** > Sylvia is awesome. Full stop. She completely transformed our model apartments - they look amazing! We would unreservedly recommend Sylvia with ma.p. interiors to anyone looking for creative, colorful, and unconventional interpretations of space that coulda-shoulda been standard. We quite literally have people asking for her name every time they tour our models at our apartment community. Thank you Sylvia! **★★★★★ — jpaulorb77, June 2015** > Sylvia Beez from m.a.p interiors is really an amazing designer! She took my dull and sad condo and literally transformed it into something straight out of a magazine - all on a budget! It honestly took my breath away. Her design process is professional yet personal - she takes the time to really understand your functional needs as well as your personal style and incorporates both into the final product. > She is able to mix elegant and high end pieces with more affordable ones creating a very inviting and harmonic space. > After the remodel my apartment felt both brighter (thanks to the new color scheme!) and bigger, yet intimate and cozy. Her persistence and perfectionism will ensure that you end up with that one-of-a-kind design that really reflects who you are with great style. > I will now be able to enjoy living in and entertaining at my condo. > I highly recommend Sylvia as a designer to anyone looking for an elegant and stylish design transformation. > I'll definitely use her services again in the future! **★★★★★ — Jane, Oct. 2014** > We hired Sylvia on a very short time frame and she made it happen! She created a beautiful, warm professional space that our clients rave about! She was amazing to work with...stayed exactly to budget and met the tight timeline I gave her. She was amazing and I'm so thankful to her! **★★★★★ — alpinefd, March 2014** > We were completely lost on how to decorate our new house. We are so glad we found Sylvia to decorate our house, she did an amazing job, the house looks absolutely stunning now !! I would highly recommend her and her team !! **★★★★★ — Woodworking OC, Sept. 2013** > My name is Alex, I am the owner of Woodworking OC. I had the pleasure of working with M.A.P. interiors on multiple projects. She has always displayed a friendly professional attitude with her clients and fellow contractors. She has a way of listening to her clients needs, being flexible and still creating her vision for the project. She is very organised and a pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — sunnybelle, Sept. 2013** > I have worked with m.a.p. interiors over the past ten years. They’ve designed houses that I’ve bought and sold, as well as a vacation property that I currently own. > Projects consisted of kitchen and bathroom remodels, furnishing large spaces, and the selection of wall colors/coverings, flooring materials, window treatments, lighting, and decorative items. > > Sylvia and her Team undoubtedly retain the creativity and vision to create sophisticated, unique spaces with a remarkable eye for colors, comfort, and style. They listen carefully to what you have to say in the interest of suiting your needs and lifestyle. Furthermore, they’ve always managed to work within my budget, and had straightforward pricing with no surprises involved. I really appreciate their high standard of quality and professionalism. Working with m.a.p. interiors has been a true pleasure thus far and I will always return for future projects! **★★★★★ — jessika cardinahl fine art, June 2013** > Sylvia is the complete package..She takes the project from the seed to full harvest .Sylvia is patient ,open to suggestions .Yet steadfast in her own > Asthetic vision. The fruits of her labor are bountiful. > You will live in an Enviroment that is truly meant for you. > Sincerely Jessika Cardinahl ## Selected projects - [NEST](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/nest-pj-vj~1001931) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 20 - Description: Situated high above the ocean with breathtaking views of La Jolla, California, this residence is a warm, yet contemporary nest for its owners, who enjoy the views and natural surroundings as much as they enjoy their modern art collection.

The project’s starting point was a dark and uninviting dwelling with brown patterned walls, thick shag carpeting and an overall lack of daylight. Some of the rooms had lowered, heavily coffered ceilings, which added to the feeling of it being gloomy and claustrophobic. The kitchen and bathrooms were never upgraded either, and were not on… - [NOBEL](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/nobel-pj-vj~1266666) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 15 - Description: Contemporary global design for a small space apartment in the city of San Diego.

The clients, a young American couple of Chinese origin, were looking for a contemporary design as opposed to a classic Mediterranean interior. They craved for something more edgy and fun that would mirror their outgoing personalities. With a mutual taste for modernity and clean-lined furniture, our task was to challenge this traditional space. It was important to incorporate a variety of colors and textures in… - [ELECTRA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/electra-pj-vj~1278138) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 34 - Description: This loft is located in the Electra building, which is Downtown San Diego’s tallest residential tower.

This was designed for a young family looking for a stylish yet comfortable and inviting space for family life and get-togethers.
