Her attention to detail and warm designs create interiors that photograph beautifully! I highly recommend Amy. **★★★★★ — Fred & Rhoda Shulman, Nov. 2017** > My wife and I wanted to put the "finishing touches" on our home in Scottsdale. Our neighbor had added a casita and the interior was beautifully and stylishly decorated. That's how we found Amy. An awesome referral. We have interviewed decorators in the past and most have their own style to move you toward. We wanted someone who works with our style which is more contemporary than southwest. She is someone who is honest and works in your style to achieve an end result you will love to come home to. She helped us with paint, furniture, lighting, rugs. placement and more. She turned our house into a home ! **★★★★★ — tdavis4145, March 2017** > Amy has helped me with two of my homes and results were fantastic. She saved me from myself! She is a delightful person as well. **★★★★★ — Susie S., Nov. 2016** > Amy is fabulous! She is so good with her clients in seeing their project vision. I am over the moon happy with the finished results of my guest casita! Amy helped me so much to create a relaxing, zen like atmosphere for my guest casita. I just adore Amy's style and creativeness! **Comment from Sanctuaries Interior Design:** > Loved working with you Susie! It was so exciting working with someone who is open to bold color, adventurous design and unlimited creativity! I know you're guests (and maybe you might escape their as well) will enjoy the new multi-level guest quarters! **★★★★★ — tinacollins66, Oct. 2016** > Working with Amy was so easy. She took the time to get to know our style and tastes to help renovate/redecorate most of our home. Her eye for color is amazing and she gave us some excellent suggestions for paint and décor that we would never have thought of! We still have a few projects to go and look forward to continuing to work with Amy. I would highly recommend her for any project you are considering in your home. **Comment from Sanctuaries Interior Design:** > Thank you Tina. With a goal of entertaining lots of friends, I know you are going to host amazing parties with pride of the beautiful space we created. Enjoy! **★★★★★ — Sam Ditka, Sept. 2016** > Amy is a friend (and the designer) of a dear friend of mine. I have been following her for some time and adore all her work. > > What a delight when she agreed to give creative input into my recent room restage virtually! Amy has provided some great ideas on how to update a stale room to encompass both mine and my husband's tastes. > > Now if only I can find a project big enough to fly her in.... **Comment from Sanctuaries Interior Design:** > My first virtual project and loved it. As I mentioned, follow your instincts as they are right on point! **★★★★★ — mateogreene, May 2016** > I was one of the first clients for Sanctuaries Interior Design. I had a house on the golf course in Cave Creek AZ and I traveled Internationally. I would collaborate with Amy, give her a budget and a section of the house including my outside recreation area. Amy always came in at or below budget and the results consistently exceeded my expectations! I would come home from a long trip and I was like a little kid on Christmas morning coming to open my presents! I couldn't wait to see what Amy had created at my house. I highly recommend Amy & Sanctuaries Interior Design ! > > All The Best, > > Matt **Comment from Sanctuaries Interior Design:** > Thank you Matt! I loved working with you and happy we could incorporate many of your travel-related treasures into your eclectic home. I think the Moroccan, canopied bed was my favorite. Wishing you nothing but amazing adventures within your whirlwind career in the hospitality industry! **★★★★★ — Pace Art Collective Ent Inc, Sept. 2015** > I am always excited to work on projects with Amy at Sanctuaries Interior Design. All of the homes Amy has done share a rich, warm and inviting feel as you enter the space and then > you notice all the special custom details to meet each individual clients needs and tastes. > It is so wonderful to be a part of the experience in getting each client the elements that will speak directly to them making their home a unique and wonderful oasis all their own. **Comment from Sanctuaries Interior Design:** > We are quite the team. Collaborating with you is always a highlight in my day and truly feel we come up with the perfect artistic blend for my clients. Thank you for everything you do! **★★★★★ — thewineboutique, June 2015** > We hired Amy to help with color and furnishings. She is amazing at seeing color. Her attention to every detail was above and beyond our expectations. She is very easy to work with and always professional. Her ability to mix styles is uncanny. Beautiful!! Highly recommend Amy for your design needs. **Comment from Sanctuaries Interior Design:** > Such kind words...I absolutely love how your new home reflects your individuality! It was a lot of joint inspiration between both of us and it truly paid off in the end. Enjoy! **★★★★★ — kimswaney, March 2014** > Kim Swaney , Client: We recently hired Amy Gutierrez, Sanctuaries Interior Design, to decorate and furnish our new home we completed in 2013. Her professionalism, knowledge, and expertise, made it a rewarding experience. Amy invited me to the Las Vegas Market, she spent a large amount of time helping me choose unique pieces of furniture, art, and decor for our home. The Market was a Blast !!! > > Thanks Amy !!!!! **Comment from Sanctuaries Interior Design:** > Attending the market is a feat in itself. I have great memories of how we found and chose every piece for your home...especially the fantastic lighting! **★★★★★ — dmacor, Oct. 2013** > We hired Amy at Sanctuaries Interior Design to bring some life to a spec home that we bought a few years ago. It was such a good decision. The process was easy and the results were fantastic. Amy is conscientious, and respects the clients budget, timeline, and style preference. Amy revamped several rooms in our home. Not only do we enjoy the result but we have had friends who like the transformation of our home so much that they enlisted her for projects at their homes. Overall, the experience and the results we better than I imagined. We continue to use Sanctuaries Design for projects in our home today. **Comment from Sanctuaries Interior Design:** > Thank you. We have very similar style preferences...go bold...and I loved the fact you had confidence in my ability to keep moving forward. From airplane propellers--suspended fish tanks--and your fantastic living room couture fabric--I will remember this project with joy! **★★★★★ — Tierra Del Lagarto, Oct. 2013** > We have been lucky to work with Amy over the last seven years. Always professional, creative and wonderfully sweet, Amy is the kind of designer one really looks forward to working with. ## Selected projects - [New Orleans Historic Condo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-orleans-historic-condo-pj-vj~5867266) - Location: New Orleans, LA - Photos: 12 - Description: Gorgeous historic building in New Orleans.
