Vicki is a consummate professional who pays attention to every detail. We value our long relationship with her and look forward to the next project. **★★★★★ — Cindy, July 2026** > Vicki Simon is a fabulous creative designer, and I feel lucky to have worked with her. Alongside a great design-build firm, she and I spent four years on a complete remodel, turning a pedestrian, formerly "remuddled" 1951 ranch-style house into my dream, eclectic "House of Blues." The result is stunning, thoughtfully designed, and set up for me to age in place comfortably. > > Vicki has a gift for making even overwhelming decisions — fixtures, finishes, all of it — feel manageable and fun. She proposed ideas I never would have imagined on my own. She also helped me find the right spots for my heirloom antiques and tracked down beautiful new-to-me old pieces to fill in the gaps, drawing on her excellent network of trusted professionals for refurbishing and refinishing along the way. I especially valued how clear and honest she was about our financial relationship — no conflicts of interest, ever. We remain friends to this day. **Comment from Vicki Simon Interior Design:** > Thank you so much Cindy for this concise encapsulation of our 4 year long working relationship. I very much enjoyed working with you to realize your dream forever home. **★★★★★ — Bob, Jan. 2026** > Vicki was terrific! Our house is now filled with unique treasures that that fill our hearts and stimulate our minds. Our home isn't just decorated to look compliant with modern magazine aesthetics. It is a collection, a conversation and a personal expression of interests, tastes and experiences. And yet, in its diversity, it all comes together, connects and speaks to each other. Her technical skills of layout, spacing and attention to details of shape, color and size are outstanding. She made the space work both beautifully and functionally. We probably weren't the easiest clients in the world, with our strong opinions, abundance of ideas, demanding timelines and budget requirements. She accommodated us wonderfully - delivering vision, taking in our input and pushing back where needed it. **Comment from Vicki Simon Interior Design:** > Thank you Bob! Your project was pure joy for me to work on. You both have impeccable taste and I'm so happy you are pleased with results of our work together. **★★★★★ — Midnight Sunlight, July 2025** > Vicki Simon’s approach to interior design is unique, thoughtful and refreshingly honest. In an age of conformity and fakes, she has the lifelong passion for design, an artist’s eye and the formal education to execute truly original and lasting spaces. Her process is always creative, intuitive and carefully considerate of her clients’ unique needs and interests. **★★★★★ — lordjeff20, Jan. 2024** > Vicki was a pleasure to work with. She was extremely attentive to detail and made the end-product a unique and tasteful twist on the "norm". There is no box shopping when you're with Vicki. Every item we purchased was done thoughtfully and with the global goal for the rooms in mind. We were super happy going with Vicki and you won't be disappointed doing the same. **★★★★★ — Dillon Dolansky, May 2023** > I had a fantastic experience with Vicki. This was my first time working with a designer. I was overwhelmed after I moved into a new house. This project was pretty much start from scratch. I didn’t know what size furniture to buy, colors, style, etc. I was clueless. > > I was drawn to Vicki’s profile because I like color. I like bold. I’m paraphrasing but Vicki said in our first meeting, “We live in the overcast gray PNW, why have the inside of your house match that?”. I didn’t want the “greige” house. I’m still dipping my toes in this interior design world, but I knew I wanted something unique. > > I consulted with several interior designers but Vicki’s consultation stood out. She was punctual, professional, and straight forward. I was looking for an artist to help design my space, but I was also looking for a project manager. She proved to be excellent at both. > > Once we agreed to the contract she got right to work. She drew up a design plan, started sending me furniture suggestions, scheduled contractors, started a private Pinterest board, and texted me pictures of unique items she’d find at vintage stores. I loved it because we were moving fast but if I didn’t like an idea I wasn’t afraid to veto it. I’d say “ehh let’s pass on that” and she’d say “no problem we can keep searching for the right piece”. The project had a good flow. > > I’m very happy with the work Vicki has done. She totally transformed my space. She is hard working, transparent, a good communicator, and enjoyable to work with. I’d highly recommend her. **★★★★★ — Think Real Estate, Feb. 2023** > I am a real estate agent who also remodels homes. I reached out to Vicki for a consultation regarding a vintage 1960's mid-mod fixer that I had purchased to renovate. Like Vicki, I am a fan of period appropriate design. She walked the home with me and helped me determine what to keep (the original vanities!) and what to replace (peeling wallpaper). I had thought I'd need replace some of the older items, but instead I found ways to breath new life into them. She also helped inspire what direction I took with tile size and shape to stay true to the era. I'm so glad we connected on this project! **★★★★★ — Mariah, Oct. 2022** > Vicki was such a pleasure to work with! She helped select beautiful new pieces for our home that perfectly complimented our existing furnishings. She also recommended fresh arrangements for our existing artwork and furniture. I would not hesitate to work with Vicki again in the future! **★★★★★ — Ava Green, Oct. 2022** > Choosing an interior designer is no easy task, but we are so happy that we chose Vicki! So many designers create spaces that are repetitive and uninteresting, but Vicki isn’t one of them. She has a talent for creating spaces that are beautiful, unique, and in harmony with the existing character of the home. My fiancé and I were having a difficult time choosing several paint colors for the interior of our home, but Vicki made this process fun and a breeze. We look forward to working with her again in the future! **★★★★★ — Camilo Lopez, Oct. 2022** > Vicki. > > Really knows what she's doing. > > She's incredibly receptive to feedback and able to turn vague directives into coherent designs, while having her own aesthetic and incredible sense of design . > > She's punctual, organized, her billing methodology and costs are clear. On top of all that she's got a network of professionals and trades people, that makes it a lot easier to get a project done. **★★★★★ — HU-391876609, July 2022** > Vicki was great to work with! Our project was an extended project that expanded over time and extended through COVID, and Vicki was accomodating and professional throughout the entire project. We were pleased with the options Vicki presented to us, and enjoyed working with her to bring our personality into our home. In particular, we love the rugs, art, and furniture that were part of the design. We are very happy with the overall results and would recommend working with Vicki. **★★★★★ — Beth S, Feb. 2021** > After we bought our first home, my husband and I knew that we were ready to invest in upgrading our living space. Vicki worked with us to create a clean, midcentury modern look, packing a visual punch yet well within our budget. Vicki has a keen eye for detail, an encyclopedic knowledge of design, and is an advocate for her clients. We feel so lucky to have worked with Vicki in creating a comfortable, new look for our home that reflects both our style AND the realistic needs of our every day life (1 kid + 3 cats!) If you are ready to realize your dream space, Vicki is a fantastic interior designer to work with! ## Selected projects - [Coastal Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coastal-retreat-pj-vj~7888680) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [1926 Tudor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/1926-tudor-pj-vj~7404885) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 14 - [Bold Color for a European Sensibility](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bold-color-for-a-european-sensibility-pj-vj~2977400) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 21 - Description: A "builder's special" cookie cutter retrofit was transformed by trim re-design, paint, and bold color along with an injection of dramatic art, furniture, and accessories to suit the client's tastes.

It was a classic example of restore, recycle, and using salvaged materials such as old fir floors that were uncovered, refinished, and rotted boards were replaced with vintage boards found at salvage yards. All new wood trim was added including 11" high baseboard because the 10' high ceilings could accomodate it. The enclosed back porch which was set up as a breakfas… - [Irvington Foursquare in Portland](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/irvington-foursquare-in-portland-pj-vj~2592873) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 19 - Description: For a young family who moved to Portland from San Francisco, the beauty and bones of a 1910 classic foursquare in the established tree-lined neighborhood of Irvington was honored with attention to architectural detail.

Their initial vision involved knocking down walls, but I had another idea that was sensitive to both the architecture of the house and their modest budget. The project was featured in Grey Magazine in November 2016. The problems: Refrigerator was in the mud room. Sink was in a dark and shallow cabinetry wall. There wasn’t enough work space or storage. Poor ventilation over the e… - [1942 Roscoe Hemenway House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/1942-roscoe-hemenway-house-pj-vj~6791047) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 11 - [Portland Newer Build Transformation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/portland-newer-build-transformation-pj-vj~6301187) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 9 - [SE Portland Bungalow](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/se-portland-bungalow-pj-vj~6448326) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 9 - Description: This quaint 1926 Portland bungalow needed some personality and had an adventurous client willing to mix it up in an eclectic and storied way. The "remodel" was in the living room fireplace which got a complete makeover from being clad with bathroom tile to painted wood in a design that brought together the leaded glass in a sensitive way, and with a splash of a fun color for interest. - [Modern Makeover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-makeover-pj-vj~5326673) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 10 - Description: A builder's grade new house got a modern makeover by remodeling--removing standard "craftsman style" trim and infusing a modern sensibility with trimless detailing, bright white walls, modern lighting, pocket doors, and dark rich accents of wood, lacquer and paint. - [Apartment for an Art Collector](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/apartment-for-an-art-collector-pj-vj~4483053) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 5 - [Lake Tahoe Kitchen and Exterior](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-tahoe-kitchen-and-exterior-pj-vj~2614020) - Location: Tahoe City, CA - Photos: 6 - Description: Exterior re-coloring and complete remodel of kitchen - [1920's Portland Bungalow](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/1920-s-portland-bungalow-pj-vj~1069265) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 8 - Description: This was a flip for a developer who had purchased a bungalow which had great bones to start with. My idea was to paint the trim black, and do a black and white color scheme. The trim being thick and somewhat heavy added to the coziness of the small spaces. All the light fixtures were recycled from architectural salvage or craigslist. All furniture and accessories are from the designer's own collection. - [1940s House in Portland](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/1940s-house-in-portland-pj-vj~5326744) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 16 - Description: A classic circa 1940 mid-century modern house in Portland gets an interior finish and lighting makeover highlighting the original details of the house. - [Modernized Craftsman](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modernized-craftsman-pj-vj~5494302) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 2 - [New Construction Furniture Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-construction-furniture-project-pj-vj~1579840) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 8 - [Tudor Craftsman](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tudor-craftsman-pj-vj~367997) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 4 [See all 24 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/vicki-simon-interior-design-pfvwus-pf~629239021) ## Community Q&A **Q: Scale of wallpaper** *(in Photo Questions)* I love this wallpaper and even ordered a sample in another colorway for myself but the lotus flowers seem very big in my sample. Does it come in different sizes as well as different colorways? A: Hi Grace - going from memory as this project is quite distant in terms of when it was completed, I believe there was only the one scale, and maybe one other colorway, opposite of this. If you would like help sourcing wallpaper, please send me an inquiry for service through this site, and I'd be happy to help you! **Q: Hi, what’s the paint color on the cabinets?** *(in Photo Questions)* Looking for the name and brand of the cabinet color. A: Thank you for your interest in my color sense! I can dig into this project’s archive to look up the paint color for you for a fee. If that is of interest to you, please reach out to me as an inquiry on this site. **Q: What kind of wall treatment is in this charming bathroom?** *(in Photo Questions)* It looks like it may have texture? A: Yes! The walls were painted by a local decorative painter in a champagne colored metallic paint. **Q: beautiful fireplace** *(in Photo Questions)* I know this isn’t a question...but I just wanted to comment on how cool I think that fireplace molding is! Love how it mimics the window. So smart! A: Thank you JD! That was the game changer in the room. When the clients bought the house, the previous owner had put in “bathroom tile” around the fireplace insert. It was glaringly wrong to ignore the leaded glass window. So I had a carpenter repeat the design in wood, and painted the whole section including the trim blue to make it a focal point of the room. **Q: Dining Room Paint Color** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the name of the blue paint color in the dining room? A: Allie, please email me directly for any inquiries to inquire@vickisimon.com **Q: What is the paint colour?** *(in Photo Questions)* I love the wall colour. What is it? A: Tula, please send me a DM with your email address. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-11-09.*
