I love working with her on her protects and watching fabulous transformations take place! She's great with her clients as she molds their ideas into their dreams! She's inspiring and has such amazing talent! **Comment from Denise McGaha Interiors:** > Thanks so much Kristen!! I love working with you and your team. You make it so easy to select plumbing and appliances and we love working with you too! Thanks for your kind words! > > Denise **★★★★★ — jaysay1, Feb. 2017** > Pleasure working with Denise McGaha Interiors. We have used them for our business and home projects. We constantly receive compliments on the work they have done. **★★★★★ — User, May 2016** > I have known Denise when I lived in Dallas and have followed her career ever since. Not only is Denise a talented designer, a smart business woman, but also a generous person. I reached out to Denise - professional to professional - for some advice. Her assistant contacted me a scheduled a phone call with Denise. It is so nice when a professional takes time out of their busy schedule to answer the question of another professional. As a result, Denise scheduled a Skype session with me and her team to further help me. I believe in collaboration and sharing of ideas and information. I am truly honored and humbled to have this experience with Denise. If this is the quality of service that she provides to another designer, I can assure you that the customer service experience her clients receive can only be describe as luxury. I highly recommend Denise! **Comment from Denise McGaha Interiors:** > Aaron it is so nice to receive such a lovely review from you! It is my pleasure to collaborate and brainstorm with other designers because it only makes us ALL better! I look forward to our talk and sharing a little more of my "Designing With A Deadline" mentality for interiors! Thanks again for taking the time to post such a stellar review. **★★★★★ — bkramer, Jan. 2016** > Working with Denise on a large residential project gave me the opportunity to see her on many aspects of building and design. Her professionalism , experience , and knowledge is not only impressive, but delivered with an attitude that makes everyone on the job enjoy working with her. In an industry where there are many highs and lows, she always rose to the challenge, never shying away from difficulties, no matter what they might be. **Comment from Denise McGaha Interiors:** > Working with you was such a delight and I feel like our team was one of the best I've ever experienced. Your ability to forsee architectural challenges from an architectural standpoint, coupled with your experience made this collaboration one of my favorites. I am so proud of the project we created for our clients and look forward to working with you again. Thanks so much for taking the time to review our firm!! **★★★★★ — steve6489, Dec. 2015** > Our building company is always on the look out for the top professionals in their field. We were encouraged by some of the most experienced realtors in our market to explore Denise McGaha Interiors. They had seen several projects and were very impressed with their work. In our first meeting, Denise won us over in no time. Her taste, experience and professional manner was something we had been seeking for years. Subsequent presentations and job site meetings have proven that she and her staff are in total command of their skill set. We are currently working with Denise and her staff on a $3,700,000 speculative residence in Highland Park, TX. This is a significant risk for our company and we do not take it lightly. We could not be in better hands. Denise McGaha Interiors is guiding us to finish out a fabulous project that is specific to our market area. That is precisely what we were looking for. I highly recommend Denise. By the way, we have been building high end custom homes for over 30 years and have seen the good, the bad and the rookies. Denise is a keeper. **Comment from Denise McGaha Interiors:** > Steve, I am so happy to be working with your building company on your latest speculative residence. It is always an honor to be chosen by a professional team such as yours to design a residence, and even more so, to work with a team with as much building experience as yours. We appreciate the opportunity and can't wait to share photos of the project when it's complete. This project will be an example of the quality of craftsmanship you provide and the investment you have made in design to deliver one of the most beautiful homes on the market in Highland, Park, TX. We also think you guys are keepers and are excited to work together on future projects as well. **★★★★★ — Stephanie Ritter, Dec. 2015** > My husband and I wanted a new grown up look for the interior of our home. We had no idea where to start and decided we needed professional help. Denise McGaha was referred to me by a friend who used her services. Denise and her staff have been absolutely fabulous to work with throughout the entire process. Emotionally it was a difficult process to make oneself declutter your home and be open to new ideas and change. Denise asked us lots of questions to get to know our likes and dislikes, how we use spaces in our home etc. She also of course personally comes to your home to see everything in person and assess the project. Basically, Denise and her staff take you through step by step. They are professional, prompt and extremely organized. Denise knows what she is doing. Her knack for putting colors, furniture and accessory pieces together is incredible. Our entire first floor (except for the master bedroom and bathroom which will get a redo next year) was completely redone by McGaha Designs. It's the best decision we ever made. **Comment from Denise McGaha Interiors:** > Thanks so much for your review and we have absolutely loved working on the kitchen, formal living, breakfast room and family room with you this year. I am so excited we met and yes, the changes have been incredible. We love that YOU love the clean and fresh palette we suggested and that working through de-cluttering your home and finding your incredible personalities come through was the best part!! I am so excited to see your powder bath completed this week and to move on to the Master Suite. It will be perfect for your both when we are done and can't wait to spend 2016 with you creating beauty in you home. **★★★★★ — Tia Pettijohn, Dec. 2015** > Finding a design team that understands the needs of a client can be a challenge! So when it came time to for us to hire someone, we looked for someone who would take the time to get to know us as a family, study how we live in our home, and understood our personalities and how to capture that in the execution of the work. Denise McGaha and her team took time to incorporate all of the things that were important to us and our individual needs and brought to life a beautiful concept and final plan. The result is both lovely and unique, and weaves in elements that speak to our personalities and how we live. Denise and her team were a joy to work with! **Comment from Denise McGaha Interiors:** > Tia we have absolutely loved incorporating the personality of your family into your home. Your beautiful new home was the perfect palette and display of your style. Your love of original art made our job easy and I can't wait to share the new furnishings we designed and installed for your family when it is published in an upcoming coffee table book in 2016. I have loved getting to know you and feel honored to be called "your designer". Just wait until we complete the office for Sam! He may never leave his home office again!! Thanks for your review and I can't wait to complete the details of our final plan. **★★★★★ — Gail Berlin, Dec. 2015** > McGaha Interiors graciously accepted our challenge when we urgently needed a fresh perspective in the middle of the project. Denise quickly assessed and recommended a plan to transform our new home utilizing color, texture and our extensive art and antique collection. > Transitional is an overused design concept but actual execution requires creativity, product knowledge and experience. We couldn't be more pleased to see each room take on a personality that reflects a special appreciation for design and understanding of our family. Her team has a process that "expedites" each and every detail. Their communication has been extraordinary. **Comment from Denise McGaha Interiors:** > Gail - We have always considered ourselves lucky that the day you called, we "accepted the challenge"( as you say) in the middle of your project. What a lovely opportunity for our team to provide a fresh new look for your new home and incorporate your art and antiques. Extensive and FUN! > As we start to see furnishings arrive and the rooms come to life, it is as exciting for me as it is for you. Watching your family and extended family enjoy your new home over the holidays was the greatest gift and we feel honored to count you as clients (and friends) of Denise McGaha Interiors. **★★★★★ — jnidawg, Dec. 2015** > Fantastic experience with this company. They work with what you have but help you place furniture for maximum effect and flow. Walks in the door and jumps into action. SHe did my dining room and it is jaw-droppingly beautiful. Does Christmas decorating, too, emphasizing fresh flowers, garland, pine cones and fruit--nothing artificial, and replicable next year with easy to find fresh elements. The "big reveal" was so exciting, and the result exceeded my every expectation. > Her presentation of her ideas is exceptional, and she and her support staff keep you well informed throughout the process. Everyone on her team is friendly, responsive and respectful. Enjoyed the entire process. Love them!! **Comment from Denise McGaha Interiors:** > We loved jumping into action for you and your family and creating a new look for your dining room was so much fun! Shopping for you and finding the best antique lighting and rugs for your dining room really helped bring that space to life. Thanks so much for your review and for also mentioning our "big reveal" moment. It is always so much fun when you walk into your home and its even more than you imagined it could be! We loved working with you and can't wait to work together again on your next project. **★★★★★ — melinhart, Dec. 2015** > We did a total renovation of our kitchen and eating area. Denise was amazing. I look at my kitchen every single day and think how much I love it (it's been over a year now). With some designers, I worry that they will impose their style on me. Denise did not do that. She listened to what I wanted, made suggestions, and designed a fantastic kitchen. She pushed in some areas where I needed it, but met all my requests. She made the decisions I didn't want to and dealt with any problems that arose. She also worked with people who were very helpful. Can't recommend her enough! **Comment from Denise McGaha Interiors:** > Your kitchen was one of our favorite kitchen projects to date. Coming in and seeing the space you were using and how your large family needed function and style made this project a perfect opportunity to showcase our abilities. I loved that you worked with our favorite architect, William Briggs to create the layout we suggested. The classic black and white palette we recommended also will remain classic and timeless as you wished. I am so happy to hear that you still love your kitchen as much as we do and that more importantly, it functions for your family. Thanks so much for your review!! **★★★★★ — msjnidawg, Sept. 2015** > Fantastically talented. Excellent sources. On time and hands on. Transformed our living and dining rooms, mostly using what we already had but also advising on important accessories. Pleasant to work with and reasonable with her fees. I love her and her company. **Comment from Denise McGaha Interiors:** > Thanks so much for your review and for trusting our recommendations for antiques and original art for your space. We loved putting your spaces together and love that our "Designed in a Day" services were the perfect fit for your first experience with our firm. We can't wait to move to the next phase of your project and love having you as clients as well. **★★★★★ — aquaneo0202, May 2014** > Denise changed my life! > I hired Denise after my first meeting with her, and I can confidently say that it was one of the best decisions that me and my husband ever made. She and her staff are professional, courteous, responsive, and very talented. Questions or requests are answered promptly, and during the course of the design project, her team kept us updated on the status of goods and services. Denise knows her stuff! She listens, and marries your ideas with her vision to come up with something beautiful. I can go on and on about all the reasons why I have found a lifetime designer; but I also want to use this opportunity to say thank you Denise for giving me a chance to love my home. **Comment from Denise McGaha Interiors:** > What a beautiful thing to read!! We always say that beautiful design changes people's lives. I am so honored to count you as clients and friends and working on your home has been so much fun for our team. We can't wait to continue working with you and your husband and creating a home that your family loves and uses. Design changes lives and gives beauty to all who experience it. Thanks so much for your review. ## Selected projects - [Aladdin](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/aladdin-pj-vj~2665532) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Villanova](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/villanova-pj-vj~2684784) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - [Fairfax](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fairfax-pj-vj~2145263) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Triple Crown](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/triple-crown-pj-vj~1442948) - Location: Northlake, TX - Photos: 38 - Description: Our latest modern project, this home is the home of our very first client. After designing over 5 projects for these long-time clients you get excited when you receive a call telling you they want to build a contemporary home that reflects their different tastes (his-traditional and hers-contemporary). We gladly took the challenge. We worked for almost two years on Triple Crown from construction drawings to the last pillow being placed. There are almost too many custom elements to list, from the… [See all 4 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/denise-mcgaha-interiors-pfvwus-pf~662783812) ## Ideabooks - [Andre Ct](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/67724007/list/andre-ct) — 3 ideas - [Enfield Project](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/25672900/list/enfield-project) — 5 ideas - [Bradford](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/1219539/list/bradford) — 2 ideas [See all 3 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/dmcgaha) ## Community Q&A **Q: Mirror** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me where the mirror is from please?
