Carlos was very helpful at guiding us into the direction of our vision through his experience, creativity and network of Artisans and professionals. > Carlos managed and designed the remodel of our Rancho Mirage home. As we were working remotely with Carlos and team, we were able to complete the project with a few in person stays along the way until completion. Carlos was very responsive and accountable which made the project much easier to complete without delays. > Carlos’ designs and lay outs helped us use the footprint of our home for maximum utilization. The colors, fabrics and finishes met our demanding vision with beautiful results. We look forward to working with Carlos King in the future as we explore on! **★★★★★ — Jasmine Borrego, Feb. 2024** > Carlos was there from begining style to rehab, to working with the contractor to complete on our 3468 square foot house along with furniture. We were very pleased and when company or friends come over for the first time their expressions is "wow" **Comment from Carlos King Interior Design:** > Jasmine - It has been a delight working with both you and Fred. **★★★★★ — Dr. Renae Reinardy, Jan. 2024** > Hiring Carlos was the best decision I made in my home remodeling journey. I first learned about his services after he was featured in a local magazine for his exceptional customer service and eye for design. After looking for a recommendation on a social media website, his name was recommended to me several times. Carlos took the time to answer my questions and provided me with several references, which I called. I live in California part-time and trust him with the keys to my home to meet with contractors when I am not able to be there. He is professional, punctual and receptive to any questions or concerns I had along the way. Not only is Carlos an excellent designer, he also effectively managed the entire project which allowed me to actually enjoy the process stress-free! He transformed the space into a beautiful home that we are delighted to share with friends and family. Carlos also gives back to the community and is involved in several local organizations. He continues to be a great resource and is my go-to whenever I need additional services. **Comment from Carlos King Interior Design:** > Dr. Reinardy, it has been a pleasure working on your families desert oasis. **★★★★★ — Celestine R McConville, Sept. 2023** > We are so deeply grateful to have found Carlos King. He turned our dream about our La Quinta home into a reality—creating for us a beautiful, warm, relaxing home for our family to enjoy. Carlos is infinitely talented in interior and landscape design, but his true superpower is his capacity to listen to his clients and deliver what they want. Two days after meeting Carlos, he came back to our home with a sketch of our fireplace that perfectly expressed our vision for our entire home. We knew right then that we found the right person for us. Every client has different tastes and budgets, and Carlos is an expert at translating those tastes and budgets into beautiful homes. Carlos treated us like we were his most important client, even though I’m sure we were on the smaller side in terms of project size. He was incredibly organized and responsive, and always available. He did a superb job giving us honest advice about the scope of the project and where we should direct our efforts (and money). His vision, style, and instincts are perfect. The project came out beautifully, and it simply would not have happened without Carlos King. Thank you, Carlos! **Comment from Carlos King Interior Design:** > Celestine and Tom, > It was an absolute delight working with both of you. I hope you enjoy your home for many years to come. **★★★★★ — Michael Perry, June 2023** > I recently had the pleasure of working with an incredibly talented interior designer, Carlos King, and I cannot recommend him enough. From the initial consultation to the final reveal, he truly listened to my vision and turned it into a reality that exceeded all my expectations. His eye for color, texture, and attention to detail was impeccable, and he transformed my space into a true sanctuary. The process was seamless and stress-free. He also stayed within my budget without compromising on design. His professionalism, creativity, and passion for his craft truly shone through, and I am grateful to have found such a skilled designer. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to elevate their space and transform their home into a work of art. Thank you, Carlos King, for your incredible work! **Comment from Carlos King Interior Design:** > Mike, > Thank you for your enthusiasm and trust - your bathrooms are beautiful, functional, and blend seamlessly with your homes interior. **★★★★★ — cwampole, March 2023** > We read about Carlos King and then interviewed him and several other interior designers for a design project at our home in La Quinta, California. I’m so happy that we selected Carlos King. From beginning to end, his keen eye, his attention to detail and his sensitivity to budget concerns gave us the confidence to move through the project with ease. In addition to the assets mentioned above, the best part of working with Carlos is his willingness to openly communicate and share his wisdom without hesitation. I highly recommend Carlos King without reservation. Our home is now truly beautiful and more than I had ever imagined envisioned. **Comment from Carlos King Interior Design:** > Carole it has been a delightful journey with both you and Larry, and we cant forget cookie the four legged boss. **★★★★★ — Scott, Nov. 2022** > We found Carlos through Houzz and are so happy with the design and work he did. > > We totally renovated the interior of our place (new cabinets, countertops, appliances, fixtures, lighting and paint). We also donated to charity almost all of our old furniture (but Carlos did convince us to reupholster a couple of pieces we had). He then designed and custom-made all our bedroom furniture, headboards, bedspreads and pillows, our living room and den furniture and one spectacular built-in bar. Carlos also chose (and, in a few instances, painted) all our new artwork, which we love. > > Because of our HOA rules around renovations, we had a very short window to get all this work done, and Carlos managed to finish on time and under budget. Throughout the process, he maintained regular contact with us (we were out of the country for the entire renovation period), sending us photos of his progress and updates on costs etc. > > At the beginning of November, we finally got to see in person the finished product, and words cannot describe how happy we were. The colours blended perfectly, and the quality of the finishes was excellent. What we saw matched in every way the drawing he had provided. If we could give more than 5 stars, we certainly would. **★★★★★ — T and J, Sept. 2022** > Carlos was great to work with! He's got a good eye, comes up with creative solutions, and is mindful of budget and timelines. He's a good listener and asks questions to really understand your goals. He's assertive, yet diplomatic, when he needs to be to help keep the project on track and ensure the overall design is cohesive. Best of all, he made the project fun! He helped us get outside our comfort zone. We're thrilled with the outcome - it's just what we wanted! **★★★★★ — marciashulman, June 2022** > Carlos is a consummate professional with wonderful taste and very innovative ideas. He will be by your side from beginning to end and is a pleasure to work with. **Comment from Carlos King Interior Design:** > Marcia, it was a pleasure working on your beautiful Palm Springs home. **★★★★★ — Iris Loebenstein, June 2022** > Happen to find this designer at my local community. Little did I know he also designed my neighbors home. > Such style! He presents plenty of confidence and actually rolled out the large rugs when they arrived to our home. > He even brought over a flower arrangement of Orchids. He also never breaks a promise. He's not just a designer, he's > a good person too. **Comment from Carlos King Interior Design:** > Iris - it was an absolutely delight meeting you and Abe. Thank you for the wonderful opportunity, and as we now the result is spectacular. **★★★★★ — Kari Moeller, May 2021** > Carlos King is extraordinarily talented interior designer who came recommended by a friend. He made the process of redecorating our newly purchased home in Rancho Mirage California feel effortless. The home we purchased and The Springs Country Club was very old and outdated, and he transformed the house living-room, dinning-room, entry and breakfast room into pure luxury and comfort. The colors and textures he included are amazing. This was done on time and within budget, which was amazing, especially during a pandemic. Carlos is meticulous, and he monitors his projects closely. He is prompt, honest considerate and fair. I cannot say enough about this company and the I highly recommend Carlos King Interior Designs, and I will most certainly use his services again. **Comment from Carlos King Interior Design:** > Thank you Kari. It was a pleasure working with you, Michael, and the two little Yorkies. **★★★★★ — HU-260659872, Dec. 2020** > Carlos King has an amazing eye for design. His skills for combining colors, knowing what the client wants to fulfill their design needs, and knowledge of achieving different looks and concepts to perfection is 5 Star quality and customer's satisfaction. His work is truly an artform with an edge, trend, and transitional look that makes his work so unique and true to his own signature of fashion combined with his Interior Design esthetics. > > Working with Carlos is always a delight and I believe he will leave a legacy to share his beautiful designs for the future generation. **★★★★★ — Nancy Shorr, Dec. 2020** > Carlos is an amazingly talented designer and all-round nice person! He took the time to understand our goals and interests and presented us with design alternatives that totally met our needs. From flooring to walls, to lighting fixtures, to fabrics, he designed a complete renovation of our kitchen-dining-living-great room. He provided skilled craftsmen every step of the way and was on-site to provide oversight of their work. Carlos gave us a beautiful new living space and was a pleasure to work with! **★★★★★ — Amy Kaufman, Oct. 2020** > Carlos King is a master of color and light and shapes. He has the exceptional ability to see what others cannot, taking the everyday, run-of the-mill and creating something spectacular. He runs a project from start to finish with the precision of a Swiss watchmaker; the caveat being you (the client) need to have the ability to make informed decisions expeditiously and stick to them. Carlos will be brutally honest with you in a professional, kind manner. On a personal note, he is authentic and whip smart with a delightful dry wit. Whether prince or pauper, Carlos will give you his undivided attention and bring his A game every day. We give him our highest personal and professional recommendation. **Comment from Carlos King Interior Design:** > Amy, It was an absolute pleasure working with both you and Mike. Your new desert home fits both of your personalities. It's cool, colorful, and sophisticated. **★★★★★ — Karon Edleson, Sept. 2020** > Carlos was incredible! We recently moved to La Quinta, CA and wanted a designer to work with. After interviewing several recommended > designers by Houzz, we chose Carlos and are sure glad we did. We needed an office badly and was hoping it could be completed in four weeks. Well, it was! Carlos's cabinet maker was amazing, as well as his electrician and painter he recommended. We could not be more pleased. > > Carlos was very diligent and made sure the work was completed on time. The before and after is awesome. We would definitely use Carlos again for future plans. His design plan blew us away and now that we work at home, we have a beautiful office. We also had him help us with our family room. We struck gold when we discovered Carlos! **Comment from Carlos King Interior Design:** > Thank you Karon, it was a pleasure working with both you and Chip to give you your dream office. **★★★★★ — Rocio Noble, July 2020** > We met Carlos when we needed help with a color scheme for our outdoor entertainment area. He has an excellent eye for color. We soon expanded his role to helping personalize the public areas of our new home. Carlos is an energetic hard worker. He frequently found alternative materials in a day or two. We experienced no delays caused by Carlos. He is very responsive; answering phone calls, emails and text messages quickly. He is hands on with contrators assuring they perform to the design intent. He is flexible and patient as we worked to find products and materials that merged our vision for the space. He never showed offense when we rejected a material, color or product, he simply found an alternative . . . quickly. His style is very much Palm Springs Mid-Century Modern with Spanish and Morrocan influences. Finally, he has a quirky streak for those looking for a unique design element for a "wow" factor. **Comment from Carlos King Interior Design:** > Rocio, it was an absolute pleasure working with you and Bob. I love the look of your home and your fabulous unique kitchen. **★★★★★ — Lifetime Blinds, July 2020** > Nothing but accolades for Carlos King. If he has a gift, it's his ability to design and create around the client's vision. He is multi-talented. He has more than one style. More importantly, he has an innate ability to read his client and make their home truly an extension of their personality. **★★★★★ — Susan Cameron, June 2020** > I'm grateful for the time Carlos spent with me in designing our condo. Selecting the materials to use...tile, quartz, cabinetry, etc...is all so OVERWHELMING!!!! Carlos stepped in and took control. He worked with me to narrow the materials to a manageable selection, and ensured my choices worked together harmoniously. In designing the space, he took into consideration our lifestyle. The result, will be a kitchen and master-bath plan that maximises the efficiency of the space, while adhering to our design aesthetic.. We would recommend Carlos to friends and those new the area looking to make your house a home! **★★★★★ — Nancy Kiselstein, April 2020** > Carlos came fully prepared to our first meeting with photos from previous real estate listings of our house and budding ideas already in his head. He spent considerable time at our first meeting, working hard to fully appreciate my husband's and my divergent tastes. > We set a budget for the home decorating project; he kept it in mind throughout; and he finished within budget, although we were not able to get everything we wished for within that budget. > Carlos showed great vision and creativity. He worked with high quality craftspeople who were attentive to detail and right on schedule. He achieved the look and the feel that we were reaching for.

The dining room is ont he lower level and the living room on the upper. I am considering getting sectionals but not sure how it would look. Will eventually replace the railings to wood and would not like furniture leaning on or, near the railiing. I will be changing the paint color and am leaning towards BM's Abalone for both rooms. My dining room is oval shaped with 6 chairs and I have a server. Would like to keep these pieces. Suggestions, please. Thank you A: I love the fact that your living room and dining room are on different levels, that's one of my favorite design elements from the 1960's. The advantage is that with those two different levels the rooms will add more interest to the interior, due to height. I would keep the wall color the same in both spaces to create a cohesive palette and play with rich finishes in your furnishings, carry the finish into both spaces to tie everything together. I hope this helps you a little bit. **Q: can this sofa be saved?** *(in Home Decorating)* After my mother-in-law died, we decided to keep her dining room suite and shipped it to our house in another state. Well... since we had a shipper lined up ... why not keep a few pieces and send them as well? The main one was a Duncan Phyfe empire style sofa covered in white damask. In her rather elegant living room with high ceilings, elaborate millwork, and geegaws galore it was fine. Now it's at my house and we're renovating the whole downstairs. I do have a living room area for it but I am flummoxed how to make it into something that will fit into a more transitional, comfy and modern-ish house. My original plan was recovering it in some fun bright fabric... (think Robert Allen "Neo Toile") ...yeah okay ... then my plan comes to a dead end as I can't imagine what kind of other modern day furniture to put with it so that it doesn't stick out like a giant anachronism. I do NOT want this room to look like Granny's Parlor. So now I think I'm gonna sell it ... unless someone can convince me how this could look great. (And please don't suggest I go buy more antiques to go with it -- I'm a little tired of dragging around other people's old stuff ) Here's a pic of a very similar item, the actual sofa I have is in storage right now. A: I personally love the shape and design of the sofa - it's traditional but modern. I would have the wood lacquered in high gloss black paint and then I would have it re-upholstered in a durable leopard fabric. It will be different, unexpected and elegant. here is a photo of Italian chairs I had stripped, re-padded and re upholstered. I hope this helps. **Q: looking for information on bamboo flooring before I buy** *(in Home Decorating)* Went to lumber liquidators and they showed me amber city engineered bamboo flooring by eco world flooring which I understand is lumber liquidators own company brand. I went in looking for Bellawood which they had, but she felt that for a bedroom, this would be sufficient. I don't want it to warp and I read that some bamboo warps. Does anyone have any experience with this company or can they recommend a better bamboo flooring. A: Don't use engineered bamboo, it's a pain to deal with. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
