The design group was professional and creative. The interior design results were perfect: beautiful, functional and exactly what we wanted. I appreciated how Alexandra made it easy for me to pick the fabrics and her attention to detail. We are so happy with her work!! **Comment from Alexandra Rae Design:** > Thank you so much Telcyn. It was such a huge pleasure working with you both!! ### All 14 reviews **★★★★★ — Smokey Ridge Avenue, Oct. 2024** > Working with Alexandra was an amazing experience!!! I wish I had worked with her from the beginning of my project. > > She was very knowledgeable & thoughtful with the details of my interiors. She has great relationships with her vendors, which allowed flexibility with last-minute changes. > Normally she works on only big projects and this time she took mine on for the finishing touches of our interior such as, window treatments, textiles and a few furniture pieces. > > Her work, personality & team are amazing!!! **★★★★★ — Giovanni Nessuno, Oct. 2020** > I had no idea what to do with our place. Enter Alexandra Rae, and she nailed it. And she did part of it safely through the pandemic as well. Such carefully thought out furniture and fabrics that flow together and bring a sense of warmth as well as making the home so much more welcoming. And that was only for the downstairs. We are about to begin the upstairs and I couldn't be more confident that Alexandra will be doing it all. In fact, this time for the upstairs, I feel like I don't really even need to review much because she is just so spot on. **★★★★★ — HU-490475101, Oct. 2020** > I found Alexandra on Houzz. One of her projects spoke to me and I reached out and we arranged an on-site consultation. She patiently listened to us and created something beautiful. We were melding our styles for the first time and she helped us navigate that process so well. It was a very personal process and we are so grateful that we found Alexandra. She is incredibly talented, has a wide range of design flexibility and takes the time to get to know her clients needs. We will be starting another project NEXT YEAR and she, of course, will be leading the team. **Comment from Alexandra Rae Design:** > Thank you so much! I have absolutely loved working with you both! You have been dream clients. I genuinely look forward to creating more beautiful spaces for you and your family. **★★★★★ — Cynthia Muscatel, Jan. 2020** > Alexandra Rae Design is the best design group I ve ever worked with. Their creativity, ability to develop what we wanted, and professionalism were superior. We love our house! **Comment from Alexandra Rae Design:** > Thank you so much, Cindy! You guys were fantastic to work with. I think it is my favorite project to date! xoxo **★★★★★ — Susan Grall, June 2016** > Simply put, I was looking for a way to use wicker chairs with my living room décor and ran across Alexandra's beach house design. Then, I just had to see more and looked through all of her projects. How refreshing to see such talent. Her style is classic and very chic. Clients will certainly get their money's worth as her work is timeless in lieu of trendy. > > Step aside Candice Olson. **Comment from Alexandra Rae Design:** > Thank you so much for your kind review, Susan! I am so flattered and incredibly grateful. I hope I can contiue to inspire you with our upcoming projects. **★★★★★ — kobymoe, Oct. 2015** > Alexandra Rae Design did beautiful work in my homes in Milwaukee and Fish Creek, Wi. She listened to my ideas so everything feels personal but brought a level of style I never could've envisioned. She was a delight to work with and has now helped many of my friends who all have been very happy with her work. > > She worked within our budget and handled a few construction surprises and delays with aplomb. **★★★★ — jenstanzel, Oct. 2015** > We worked with Alexandra Rae Design on a near-complete house makeover in 2014. We are thrilled with our home and really love all of the ideas Alexandra presented to us and carried out. We were working with her long-distance, from her base in California to our home in Colorado. The distance posed some communication challenges at times, but we were able to overcome those by use of Skype, detailed email, etc. **Comment from Alexandra Rae Design:** > Thank you! It was so much fun working with you guys. I hope you love the way the house turned out as much as I do! All the best! > Alexandra **★★★★★ — dgeb, Oct. 2015** > Alexandra has a great sense of style which shows in my own living room she helped me redo. She listened to my thoughts and ideas and incorporated them with hers. My living room was a small project but nevertheless had to be challenging for her since I had a small budget which she was respectful of. > > I absolutely love what Alexandra did to update and freshen up the space and look forward to working with her again in the future! **Comment from Alexandra Rae Design:** > Thank you so much! That means a lot coming from a client with such fabulous taste!! **★★★★★ — karinmoesavage, Oct. 2015** > Alexandra Rae is an amazing designer. She transformed my old kitchen into a beautiful gathering space for my family. I am truly thrilled with the results! **Comment from Alexandra Rae Design:** > Thank you so much! It was a huge pleasure. Your home is just gorgeous. I hope to help you again in the near future :) **★★★★★ — Catharine Chambers, Jan. 2015** > Alexander Rae Designs is one of the best design companies I have worked with. Very professional and listened to all my concerns and needs. My family room is the most beautiful room in our home. Thanks to her. I will definitely be working on more projects with her. **Comment from Alexandra Rae Design:** > Thank you so much for your lovely review! We had so much fun working on your project. I look forward to helping you with your next one! **★★★★★ — Melissa Castillo, Oct. 2012** > In the last year I have had the pleasure of working with Alexandra on a couple of residential projects. Alexandra is extremely professional and exudes passion for both her work and her family. I truly admire her dedication to her clients. Alexandra's style is timeless and classy. She has the ability to pay attention to every single detail of her designs while always keeping the big picture and client's budget in mind. Lastly, Alexandra is down to earth and caring and I enjoy working with her and watching her business evolve. **Comment from Alexandra Rae Design:** > We love having you on board, Melissa!!

So glad you're part of our team! **★★★★★ — loraavery, Oct. 2012** > I hired Alexandra Rae to redecorate my living room and spruce up the rest of my home. And she was FABULOUS! She understood my taste, my budget and > my lifestyle. She did the job in a very timely manor- and was always quick to get back to me with any questions, estimates, and decisions. She made it so much fun- and I could not be any happier!!!! I am now ready to use her for my next project- in a brand new home, and can't wait to see what she has in store for me! **Comment from Alexandra Rae Design:** > I am so happy you are enjoying your new home. I can't wait to help with the next one! **★★★★★ — brendabbb, Oct. 2012** > Alexandra Rae's taste and sense of design has always been my favorite. She has an eye for detail that elevates design, whether its adding soft pink flowers in a room, or just making a room feel like you want to stay in it all afternoon. She took my "shell" of a house and made it into a showpiece! I am forever grateful!! **Comment from Alexandra Rae Design:** > I thoroughly enjoyed working with you. You to have incredible taste and it was an honor that you chose us to help bring your ideas to fruition. ## Selected projects - [Farmhouse Kitchen and Breakfast Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/farmhouse-kitchen-and-breakfast-room-pj-vj~1398057) - Location: Pacific Palisades, CA - Photos: 4 - Description: This newly constructed farmhouse sits on five beautiful acres.
