I don't have much of a design eye and feel overwhelmed by all the choices in color, texture, and style. Alex made it easy and fun. She got to know my style and then gave me a small number of options to choose from. When something was not quite right, she stayed and worked through it with me. I love the result! Thank you Alex and Ellis Design Studio! **★★★★★ — Julie D, Aug. 2018** > We hired Ellis Design Studio to help with the interior design decisions in building a new house. The designers in their office work together as a team and our main designer, Alex, has been exceptional to work with. She is happy, energetic, timely and filled with great ideas. Alex really listens to what we want and comes up with ideas to really give our house the 'wow factor' we are after. Alex is great at picking out paint colors, tile, carpet and furniture and really has a way of bringing it all together so it looks perfect. She is also budget conscious which makes my husband happy. We could never have pulled this together on our own and could not be happier with Ellis Design Studio! **★★★★★ — Julia Sherman, Nov. 2017** > Diana Ellis designs incredible interiors. Let's just get that out of the way. She is also an accomplished listener who takes her clients' desires and turns them into reality and a an out of the box thinker who is willing to go wherever her clients' imaginations may roam. AS VP of Sales and Marketing with Metropolitan Homes, I worked with her on multiple projects that ranged from condos to million dollar villas and each time, she created one of a kind, stunning and memorable homes. I highly recommend Diana Ellis and her team! **★★★★★ — Lora Bowman, April 2017** > Ellis Hays Designs is a significant reason why we selected the new home we purchased back in April 2013. My husband and I took one step into a model home that Diana Ellis and her team had designed and were sold . . . not only on the floor plan, but equally on the design and décor. We worked with Diana throughout the build of our new home on all aspects of the design, where she brilliantly blended the different style preferences of my husband and I from the color palette, to flooring options, to furniture, to window treatments, to lighting . . . literally every detail down to the grout. Ellis Hays' operates with the highest level of professionalism, and is well connected and coordinates with amazing 3rd parties to assist in completion of projects (electricians, painters, contractors, etc.). With her knowledge, talent, guidance, and patience on all things big or small, Diana took the stress out of designing a home. It was one of the most enjoyable experiences we have had as a family, and continue to enjoy the end result on a daily basis. Ellis Hays Designs has since done a similar project with my father, and we will again be enlisting their help on our basement project. I cannot say enough positive about Diana and her team, and recommend Ellis Hays Design for any of your design/décor projects. **★★★★★ — The Genesis Group, April 2017** > I have had the pleasure of working with Di and her team for over 10 years. Her exceptional talent is only topped by her attention to detail and easy-going personality. She is always one step ahead in the design process!!! **★★★★★ — Gregory Liesemeyer, March 2017** > My team and I have had an opportunity to work with Diana on multiple projects over the past 4 years. Her professionalism and attention to detail are industry leading. My design team always looks forward to Ellis Hays projects. Diana comes to the table with a clear concept of the final goal and the finished product says it all. Ellis Hays models are beautiful! **★★★★★ — Julie Vigil, March 2017** > Ellis Hays Designs is very professional and easy to work with. They have a great sense of style and their expertise is invaluable. I have worked with them on a few projects over the last several years and it has always been a seamless process. They have outdone themselves on the last project we worked on, the outcome of the models are outstanding. The furnishings, accessories and fabric choices are perfect. **★★★★★ — Pat Cartwright, March 2017** > There are not enough stars to measure Ellis Designs creativity & professionalism. > > I have worked with Diana & her team for many years. They have great vision when designing a room, color choices that bring everything together & communication skills that make you a big part of your desired goal. If it is an entire house or just a room, Ellis Hays Designs will make it exactly what you want it to be!, and more! **★★★★★ — Mark Moskal, July 2016** > I have hired Ellis Hays for several projects. Not only have they exceeded our expectations in terms of work product, but they also are an absolute pleasure to work with. Over multiple projects they have been consistently on time, on budget, and always did a great job. I highly recommend Ellis Hayes Designs! **★★★★★ — david8692, July 2016** > I've had the opportunity to use Diane's team on 7 model home merchandising projects and her team has been excellent to work with. We've decorated several model homes, all with different design themes, and they've all come out terrifiic. We continue to use Ellis Hays Designs for our model homes and appreciate their professionalism and fantastic work product. **★★★★★ — Shauna Roos, July 2016** > Diana Ellis and her team are exceptionally talented designers with creative visions for spaces and places. I've had the pleasure of working with Diana on multiple model homes for several new single family home projects. She always has a smile on her face and is eager to create finished projects that leave lasting positive impressions. Diana is detailed with her working drawings and can create a desired look and feel while keeping budgets in check. She works hand in hand with contractors and project managers to ensure that details are properly translated and executed. Ellis Hays is a gem within the design industry. **★★★★★ — HU-680433, July 2016** > Diana is an extremely talented interior designer and such a pleasure to work with. We truly appreciate her attention to detail, sense of style, as well as her willingness to attend any meetings or model walks we schedule, while our models are under construction, to ensure everything runs smoothly. We've worked with Diana on several projects and will continue to do so in the future. ## Selected projects - [Capilano Court - Spa Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/capilano-court-spa-retreat-pj-vj~7629383) -
