The proprietor is Adriana. She is a true visionary. She was on time, on schedule and on budget. She understood my vision and delivered plans that were exactly what I had in mind. She foresaw issues, explained them clearly and dealt with them before they became problems. The plans were for the renovation of an historic barn on our property. I delivered them as a present to my wife who was absolutely floored. I would recommend Design Edge to any and everyone. I cannot wait to partner with Adriana on my next project! **Comment from Design Edge:** > Thank you James. I am happy that I could add value to your own ideas. Clients like you do the work of design and space planning an enriching experience! **★★★★★ — hannah\_garza, Sept. 2015** > Adriana helped us remodel our den, kitchen and bathroom. She made herself available to us via Skype even though we were in Texas and worked around our VERY busy schedule... she's very easy to work with and willing to go the extra mile. Second, she drew official building plans for a new bathroom addition... which we're exactly what we wanted. She always explained why she liked our ideas or wanted to modify them and without her help we would have made a ton of mistakes... Bottom line: professional, works for an incredibly good price, she has tons of experience, and our house looks amazing with her help. Without her, we would not have come close to maximizing our home's potential. She's the best and we would highly recommend her to anyone... jobs big or small! > > \- Justin and Hannah **★★★★★ — Justin Bielamowicz, Sept. 2015** > Adriana worked with my wife and I on a big remodel of our new home. We completely remodeled the den, kitchen, bathroom as well as a wood shop. She used her extensive background in architecture to help us come up with a new layout for the kitchen, which looks absolutely amazing. We also had her draw plans for an additional bathroom that we ultimately decided not to build.... Which was unfortunate because her design was incredible. That's Adriana's greatest strength, her ability to visualize a space and incorporate the amenities you ask for without compromising the layout. I highly recommend her. The price she charges is the best value out there. I would highly recommend her services. At least call her for a consult. You won't be disappointed. She also made herself available to us via Skype from across the country. Very easy to work with and worth every penny! **★★★★★ — momytut, Dec. 2014** > Wow! I purchased a home in Winston-Salem and want to have the kitchen and dinging room combined. I have strong feelings about what I want. Adriana expertly advised on what was best for the space while keeping in mind what I want! I love working with Adriana. She has made the long distance relationship (I'm in Chicago) workable and enjoyable. I look forward to working with her as I continue to transform our home. **Comment from Design Edge:** > Thank you for your kind words. I guess that by now you have advanced into the construction phase. Let me know how is all going and do not hesitate to contact me if you need help at any time. > Cheers, > Adriana **★★★★★ — naomiwaters, July 2014** > My husband and I used Adriana Granados after receiving a recommendation from a friend who had used her services. There was not one detail left unfinished. After meeting with us she knew exactly what we had in mind. The drawings and schematics were perfect. Our builder was very pleased and will use them during construction of our patio, and renovation of our screened porch. Adriana was personable, professional, and delivered everything promised with the correct time frames. I will, and have, already recommended her to my friends. Her business is called Design Edge and is located in Winston Salem, NC. Thank you for allowing me to sing Adriana's praises. > > Naomi and Brett Waters **Comment from Design Edge:** > Naomi, I am so pleased that you have rebuilt the sun room and got a new patio. It seems that you are ready to enjoy the Spring time. I would love to see the final outcome and chat with you after so many months! **★★★★★ — gencrazy, July 2014** > Adriana's advise and coaching have been very valuable for my project. I had a tight budget for remodeling a galley kitchen and converting a screened-in porch to a sunroom addition to my master bedroom. She helped me stay within budget and choose budget friendly quality products. She also helped me organize my project and is a joy to work with. **Comment from Design Edge:** > Thank you for your nice review. Are you ready to enjoy your new sun room? Send me pictures. I would love to see how they turned out. **★★★★★ — cristinaroche, July 2014** > Adriana Granados worked with my husband and I in giving a lift to the interior of our house which was very much needed. She recommended a professional person who could remove the wallpaper and paint those walls. We were extremely please with the person she recommended and with her constant involvement in making sure that things were done well. > She was very helpful picking out the colors for the painting of several of the rooms, making sure that the colors went well with the furniture and rugs that we didn't want to replace. She was instrumental in combining the colors and in suggesting where to paint different colors for the wood work. The results were fantastic! The color combination were perfect and the house now has an elegant and modern look thanks to Adriana's professional knowledge and good eye for colors that go well, and that were to our liking. It was helpful to envision how things would look when she used an app on her phone to see the different combinations. > She also helped us with updating all the window treatments of the house, we had mini blinds all over and we wanted a different look in the different rooms. Again, Adriana gave us some fantastic suggestions, she photo shopped different window treatment on our windows so we could again envision what the end result would be and we are very pleased with the outcome.. > I would highly recommend Adriana because of her talent to decorate and her excellent vision of what works, also her work ethics and the fact that she listen to her customers and finds the way to come up with ideas that are of your liking and yet they are different and innovative. **Comment from Design Edge:** > Thank you Cristina for your kind words. I am happy that you were pleased with my help! > May be you can send me a couple of pictures to post them here (if you don't mind). **★★★★★ — tswhite2711, Jan. 2014** > For several years, we had wanted to remodel the outdated kitchen in our 1960s-era home, and we had taken a few, tentative steps on our own, gathering information about new cabinets and appliances, both on line and by visiting retailers, including the big box stores. We found that our enthusiasm for the project was repeatedly dampened by our growing awareness of its complexity, the huge variety of choices we faced, our lack of design experience, and our limited budget. > For inspiration, we attended the Winston-Salem Home Show, and there we learned about Adriana Granados and Design Edge from an exhibitor. We contacted her soon thereafter and arranged a consultation in our home. > We quickly discovered that Adriana was the person who could guide us comfortably through the design, selection, and construction process from start to finish. Through her collaborative design approach, she asked lots of questions to identify our preferences, assigned us homework, and tailored her design recommendations to our budget. She used her considerable experience and contacts to: provide us several floor plans and elevations; suggest reliable local suppliers and contractors, and make specific suggestions on flooring, lighting, countertops, and wall colors. All of this was extremely helpful. > The resulting new kitchen is more than we had expected: both beautiful and practical, a source of pride and pleasure, and at a price we could afford. > Tom and Bonnie White **★★★★★ — mariajustice, April 2013** > I am writing this as my personal testimonial for Design Edge who was our interior designer and project supervisor for our kitchen renovation. Adrianna did an outstanding job in all phases of the project from initial design, material acquisition and construction supervision. She understands cost and will get the best results using a limited budget. She understands the reuse of materials to both lower cost and to limit the effects of the project on the environment. She was easy to work with and very patient in selecting colors and materials. Our kitchen was completely redone from flooring, cabinets, counter tops, lighting, backsplash and paint/trim. She designed it all and was on site often ensuring the construction crew was accomplishing what she needed done. The overall cost came in well under what we had in mind as a budget as well. > I would highly recommend her for any type of renovation. If you would like to hear anything further regarding our job or Adrianna's talents please do not hesitate to contact me. > > Thank you Adriana your made our Life easy" > > Norman and Maria Justice **★★★★★ — normanjustice, April 2013** > I am writing this as my personal testimonial for Design Edge who was our interior designer and project supervisor for our kitchen renovation.

Adriana Granados Cote will drop everything to be onsite should there be a problem, or a question or any concern. She is an expert at solving any achitectural problem that unexpectedly occurrs and does it with ease and grace. You will never experience her being stressed or upset about a plan change and her creativity is the unexpected asset that will make you smile. She can provide 3-D renderings and virual tours that will bring "your" plan alive! Not only do I guarantee your succes with this designer, but a life long friend also. ## Selected projects - [Waters Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/waters-residence-pj-vj~621528) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [White Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/white-residence-pj-vj~405255) - Location: Winston Salem, NC - Photos: 15 - Description: This small collaborative design project is the result of how better can be the final result when a pro is walking hand-in-hand with a do-it-yourself. A small kitchen that was transformed and updated with a tight budget. With the guidance of Design Edge they could save money in certain items and allow them to change the flooring that they thought they couldn't afford when they started to consider the project. - [Alvarez Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/alvarez-residence-pj-vj~356528) - Location: Winston Salem, NC - Photos: 3 - Description: The homeowners bought a new house. With a preference for more contemporary furniture they added some character with new furniture. Still, the lack of accent colors was not favoring the room. Design edge visited them and suggested a green color with blue undertones. The new color changed the mood of the room and added warmth and intimacy. - [Davis Family](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/davis-family-pj-vj~366679) - Location: Winston Salem, NC - Photos: 4 - Description: This project was a complete addition to the existing 5,000 sqft home. A master bedroom on the first floor, walking closets, great room, and covered patio were added to the initial footprint to adapt to the new life style of the family. Two of the premises were to blend the addition of 3,000 sqft with the existing construction located in a very traditional neighborhood, and to not change any windows on the second floor. Roof lines, and different patio levels were a few of the obstacles that desig… - [The Budget Kitchen - Justice family](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-budget-kitchen-justice-family-pj-vj~189773) - Location: Winston Salem, NC - Photos: 7 - Description: Preserve elements of the existing kitchen that were still in good shape, shop sales, and reducing designer fees by opting for the remodeling coaching service of Design Edge were the key stones to reduce to a third the initial upgrade estimate. The table and the refrigerator took away most of the space in the center. Three layers of vinyl, laminate countertops, and glossy paint on the cabinets were the finishes to start with. Improving the existing layout, decluttering the room, updating finishes… - [Keep the Layout](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/keep-the-layout-pj-vj~189841) - Location: Winston Salem, NC - Photos: 9 - Description: Money was an issue in this salvage project. The homeowners didn't want to invest in the kitchen more than 5% of the 180K value of the house since they considered it would be hard to recover. With the remodeling coaching of Design Edge they spent $7,300. Keeping the footprint, opening a wall and a window to the backyard, and updating materials were mostly what was done in this project. The homeowners sold the house in 9 days even when there were three more houses for sale on the same block asking… [See all 6 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/design-edge-pfvwus-pf~629427373) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/132342001/list/wish-list) — 25 ideas - [porch](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/53521639/list/porch) — 3 ideas [See all 2 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/design-edge) ## Community Q&A **Q: Love the overall look.
