We raised two children in the flat, and it had not had any decorating done to it since we moved in around 2005. The apartment has beautiful, classic Victorian touches and highlights, but it is small and has been well-loved and used for many years. > > We knew that we wanted to make the space special, but aside from a few general (and sometimes contradictory) ideas, we did not know how to get there. Lucile has patiently and thoughtfully guided us as we selected wallpaper, paint, lighting, furniture, and floor coverings. She has worked directly with all the craftsmen who helped repair and update damage from both the last 20+ years, as well > as the last 100+ years, in addition to making sure that the painting, wallpaper installation, and other work were as expected. She has been the guiding source in creating our beautiful, functional, and very comfortable living spaces. We are grateful that we have > been able to work with Lucile and recommend her without reservation. **★★★★★ — sophiepam, July 2025** > I worked with Lucile for over a year to redo 2 bathrooms, my kitchen as well as a full redesign/redecorating of the living room, dining room and family room. Lucile has been outstanding to work with. She is creative, and recommended modern and harmonious themes. She works very fast, and is always proactive and highly responsive. She runs her projects like clockwork and works well with contractors. She has access to any vendor you might want (furniture, appliances, rugs, etc), all high quality and with the ability to customize. It has been a pleasure to work with Lucile and the result is simply beautiful and unique. Lucile is a pro! I highly recommend Lucile for any project or a full house redesign. **Comment from Lucile Glessner Design:** > Merci, Sophie! It means a lot and I so enjoyed helping you achieve the vision of a more joyful and lighter home through this renovation process! **★★★★★ — atdbuzr, Aug. 2022** > I have been working with Lucile for over 2 years on my extensive home remodel project in Palo Alto. I can honestly say that I would not have made it through this process without her! She is equal parts great designer and project manager and helped me (and my contractor!) stay on schedule during the height of the pandemic. She listens and learned my style (and budget!) so well that it often feels like she is reading my mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for any project. **Comment from Lucile Glessner Design:** > Thank you so much, Jeff! This means a lot to me. You have been an amazing client and I loved working with you! **★★★★★ — R W, March 2021** > Lucile was particularly instrumental in helping us to come up with the final layout for our bathrooms and kitchen, after we struggled for months with the design; she served as a great sounding board and helped us work through multiple subsequent decisions as well, particularly when my wife and I didn't exactly see eye to eye. She is pragmatic and adaptable to her clients' tastes and budgets, focused on function equally well as form, but she is also comfortable sharing her opinions. We very much appreciate her contemporary style and her strong relationships with her vendors, which has continued to be a great asset for us. **Comment from Lucile Glessner Design:** > Thanks you so much for the nice review, Rich! Very much appreciated and I’m here for you if you ever need me:) **★★★★★ — lghosheh, July 2020** > We had the pleasure of working with Lucile and her company for our house remodel. It was a wonderful experience. Lucile was extremely knowledgeable in every aspect of the remodel and helps guide clients to making the right decision. She can always add fabulous and unique touches to any part of the house that makes it stand out and original. She’s honest, always available, and trustworthy. These are qualities that are not always easy to find in an interior designer. I’d definitely recommend working with Lucile!! **Comment from Lucile Glessner Design:** > Thank you Lenna, it was such a pleasure working with you and your family. Can’t wait to take pics! **★★★★★ — Lev Designs, July 2019** > We love working with Lucile! She is amazing at what she does and is determined to provide the best quality service for her clients. **★★★★★ — Tali Hardonag Architect, Sept. 2018** > I first met Lucile when a previous client commissioned her for the interiors after construction was complete. Although I was not involved - it was lovely to see how well she picked up on the style of the house and her designs complemented my architectural vision. > Recently, as the architect for a 3500 sf whole house renovation, I invited Lucile Glessner Design to collaborate on the interiors. > Lucile and her team merged seamlessly, picking up on client concerns, builders schedule and the architects vision. Her designs and selections are thoughtful, taking into consideration practicality, longevity and maintenance. > Lucile is creative, professional and immediately responsive. Her designs are always new, with great attention to detail. Her dedication to the work shows - she and her team were on site at least once a week to ensure installation followed her details and that schedules were met. > The photo shows the painstaking detail in creating a tiled wall that responds to the clients love of optical illusion. > In addition to all that - she is fun to work with, with always a positive attitude and a good word to everyone involved. I look forward to more collaboration in the future! **Comment from Lucile Glessner Design:** > Thank you so much, Tali! What a pleasure working with you. Looking forward to the next project! **★★★★★ — Lesley Lievens, Sept. 2018** > Lucile and her team helped us create the living/family room we always wanted! They were so creative and amazing at understanding our needs with 2 small children. The scale that they were able to achieve couldn't be more perfect. The furniture and lighting that they chose for our room was something we wouldn't have been able to do on our own. My husband and I are so happy we hired Lucile and team! We will definitely work with them again. **Comment from Lucile Glessner Design:** > Thank you so much Lesley, it was a pleasure working with you and Eddie. We look forward to the next opportunity. **★★★★★ — Rebecca Cohen, Aug. 2018** > What a pleasure it was to work with Lucile. My Eichler remodel was far more detailed than I had ever imagined. Lucile and her partner Eve came up with some very creative ideas how to achieve everything that I wanted, while also being mindful of cost and maintaining the integrity of the home. They were extremely responsive and gave my job all the time and attention it needed, no matter how busy they were. > As well as the actual deign of my home, Lucile had many great ideas on fittings and fixtures. She helped to keep me within a budget as well as being able to achieve the look I was after. I now have a home that not only looks beautiful but is excellent quality as well. > Lucile's eye for detail and creativity turned my house into an amazing home. > Thank you Lucile! **Comment from Lucile Glessner Design:** > Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Rebecca. It was such a pleasure working with you on your home project! We are so glad you love your new home! **★★★★★ — Marvin Davis Construction, Inc., Jan. 2018** > Lucille Glessner has been a friend to our business for some time, and for good reason. Lucille is extremely caring of her craft, which makes working with her such a joy. It is because of this that Lucille always has her client’s top concerns on her mind. Lucille and her partner Eve, communicate very well with us each time we have the pleasure of doing work with them, which makes the entirety of the process that much easier. Lucille’s work with Eichler homes in the Silicon Valley, in particular, has been nothing short of exemplary. Her passion for these types of homes, in particular, will come into view, should you ever call Lucille to help with your Eichler home. However, her expertise is not exclusive to Eichler's! Lucille’s eye for sleek design and attention to detail, begs the question: “Why doesn’t every Silicon Valley homeowner go to Lucille Glessner?” Lucille’s and Eve’s overall outlook on style and design such as integrating natural light, creating more open floor plan space, and their influence of modern/sleek design are just some of the many reasons why our customers, as well as us, enjoy working with Lucille and Eve! Thank you both so much! **★★★★ — Jenna Owens, Jan. 2017** > We hired Lucile and Eve (her awesome partner) for our Eichler renovation in 2016. They are a great choice for both quality and value. Lucile and Eve did an excellent job on our plans. They provided exceptionally detailed architectural drawings and got us an over the counter permit. We really enjoyed working with them and found their recommendations for vendors to be also very helpful. Ex: We were looking hard for an LED linear pendant that fit our budget & style and they identified a supplier they had seen at a trade show that was fantastic. **★★★★★ — ahunt1390, June 2016** > Lucile is wonderful! I am doing a major remodel and Lucile and Eve helped me with the layout, made fantastic suggestions and created a set of plans that were a work of art! Their attention to detail, quick response time and high level of accuracy made the project fun and successful. My contractor has complemented their plans on several occasions. I especially appreciated the design elevations on the plans so I could envision the final project. They would come to the house with a laptop and make changes in the cad drawings so we were all on the same page and I would know right away if I liked a change. > > I can't say enough good things about them and would definitely hire them again for any future projects. ## Selected projects - [Atherton new build home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/atherton-new-build-home-pj-vj~6447366) - Location: Atherton, CA - Photos: 7 - Description: Great room with open kitchen and dining.
