Lilium's perfect balance of textures and colors made our job a joy. We also briefly met Jen, who's a sweetheart and obviously very talented. **★★★★★ — Chad Robley, March 2017** > I've been working with Lilium on two large projects for the past three years - one of which is my home in the La Playa area. I cannot recommend them enough. Not only are they great people - they're fantastic designers and outstanding collaborators. Hire them! **★★★★★ — Zoe M., March 2017** > I hired Lilium Designs to help with a kitchen remodel. Vanessa was referred to me by a trusted design friend. I was so thrilled with the kitchen that I hired Vanessa to help with our family room. Next she will help with my bedroom. Her taste is classic and she listens and understands her clients. Never has she tried to impress her own taste on me but instead offering helpful and insightful tips to help make the best design decisions. **★★★★★ — Doug Bowman, March 2017** > As we were embarking on a whole-house remodel, we found Lilium Designs here on Houzz, and were immediately attracted to the very tasteful and subtly refined aesthetic represented in their work, and suspected they would be a good fit for our needs. We couldn’t be happier with the result of working with Vanessa and Jen from Lilium on the design of our home. Every room of our house now has their touch and influence. From helping us redesign an entire kitchen and all our bathrooms, to new flooring, lighting, window coverings, wall colors, and lots of built-in cabinetry and finishes that make our home absolutely beautiful and also very warm and comfortable. > > Not only are Vanessa and Jen wonderfully talented in their design instincts and recommendations, they were incredibly knowledgable, friendly, professional, and organized. They met with us numerous times on-site and at supplier locations, often with pre-selected options to help narrow down our decisions. They interacted seamlessly with our contractor and his subs to handle changes, schedules, material deliveries, and installation. And even though we know they were working with multiple clients, they always made us feel like we were their only client. We recommend Lilium without hesitation to anyone that needs help designing interior spaces. **Comment from Lilium Designs:** > Thank you Doug for your wonderful review! We had such a great time working with you and your family on your renovation. Such a pleasure seeing everything come together for your home! **★★★★★ — cmusicant, Oct. 2015** > Lilium Designs helped me remodel my entire home. They worked with my contractor to reconfigure the kitchen, bath, and entryway to make my home more functional and beautiful. I was very impressed, not only with their knowledge of interior decorating, but design and construction of a home. Vanessa and Jennifer really made the stressful process of remodeling a home more relaxing and enjoyable. They learned my style early on but also challenged my comfort zone to create an amazing space for my family. I highly recommend Lilium Designs to anyone looking to change or just update their surroundings. **★★★★★ — maybritth, April 2015** > We worked with Vanessa and her team on remodeling our kitchen and two bathrooms. She helped by narrowing down the endless options into manageable choices, that we loved, within our budget range. Her team was friendly, timely, knowledgable and trustworthy. We are thrilled with the final results and have already recommended her to numerous others, who have already used her team on their projects. **Comment from Lilium Designs:** > Lilium had a great time working on your kitchen and bathroom renovations, and are thrilled to hear that you are continuing to enjoy them and feel at home with all of the changes. We appreciate your trust and confidence throughout the entire design process, and look forward to helping you with any and all of your future design needs. It was so fun helping you make your house into a home to call your very own! **★★★★★ — sdlittleitaly, March 2015** > I’m not sure there is enough room here to write about all of the great things that I have to say about Vanessa and her staff at Lilium Designs. Her knowledge, experience, and dedication are second to none, and I had a really great experience working with her and her staff. She has such a great attitude - always cheerful and always willing to help. > > From the initial designs and layout, project planning, working with my HOA, working with all of the various contractors, and eventual furnishing and decoration, her efforts were nothing short of excellent. I really appreciated her design attention toward making my place more livable and getting the most out of every room. Even small enhancements or changes to existing things in my house have gone a long way to making my place more usable. I very much welcomed her infusion of “the practical” in her approach to design and optimization of the existing space. > > Vanessa and her team took care of everything for me and went well above and beyond of what one might expect from traditional design services. They basically did everything and anything to help my make my renovation (and life) easier even including things like meeting me at stores to look for appliances, taking deliveries on my behalf, meeting contractors at my house, meeting with and filling out HOA paperwork - the list goes on. Her and her team were quite literally on-point for for everything and they helped my remodel go very smoothly, keeping everything on time and well within budget. Vanessa was great about keeping me in the loop at all times and giving me updates along the way which went a long ways towards peace of mind. Her and her team made themselves readily available via phone, text, or e-mail, and it was great knowing they were on hand for any questions or concerns. > > I also benefited from the wealth of proven contractor’s at Lilium Designs’ disposal. These contractor’s have been personally vetted by Vanessa and are kept to a high standard. I found them to be extremely reliable and both their work and craftsmanship was outstanding. Lilium Designs helped manage them at every step of the way, again going a long way towards peace of mind. Similarly, I was able to take advantage of the portfolio of businesses that Lilium Designs works with, ensuring confidence in quality and reliability of my purchases along with special vendor discounts that were passed on to me. > > It’s difficult to express how grateful I am to Vanessa and her team in getting both me and my house in such a good place. I highly recommend working with her and her attentive staff and I am very happy that I chose Lilium Designs to help with my remodel. They went above and beyond my every expectation and am truly appreciative of their efforts. **Comment from Lilium Designs:** > Thank you for such a kind review! We have enjoyed helping you with all of the renovations and upgrades, and hope that you are thrilled with all of the changes. The pleasure has been all ours, and we are honored that you have trusted us with some many design updates, construction changes, and new furniture and finishes. We hope your renovated spaces truly reflect your personality and lifestyle, and are shared and enjoyed by you and your loved ones for years to come! **★★★★★ — kirkcunningham, March 2015** > My experience with Lilium Designs was extraordinary. They are a very talented, and refreshingly resourceful, firm. > > I recently completed construction of a home in Del Mar, and quickly moved in with my existing furniture -- only to realize that I hadn't given much thought to the interior design. I needed help to turn my "situation" into a comfortable home. I found Lilium Designs online, and was impressed by all the positive reviews. Our challenge was to create a warm environment that complemented the Mid-Century architecture - yet kept to a budget, and used as much of my furniture as possible. > > Vanessa (the principal) and her team tackled this with such expertise and enthusiasm that the whole experience far exceeded my expectations. During the design phase, they listened to my ideas and constraints, and then worked closely with me to develop the floor plan, furniture style, color palette and décor ideas. We reviewed multiple options for everything, both online and in my home. > > Since I was new to this, I was anxious about how the execution was going to work - all the shopping, sizing, ordering, delivering, returning, timing and installation. But Lilium handled it professionally and effortlessly - including the design and procurement of some custom furniture and décor pieces that really personalized my home. From start to finish, the execution went flawlessly. > > The result is a beautiful home that feels like home. One that impresses everyone who walks through the door - including myself, every single day. **Comment from Lilium Designs:** > Thank you for being such a wonderful, return client for us, Kirk! The Lilium team sure does appreciate your great review, and for the chance to work with you time and again with all of your design needs. Your insight and excitement for design is an excellent reminder of why we love our job so much. **★★★★★ — orangeefan1, Nov. 2014** > We purchased an old home from the original owners that needed a major overhaul. Lilium design worked with us to create a beautiful functional space. Their expertise provided an opportunity for us to realize our dream home. All of our ideas, hopes and dreams were organized and implemented with the help of Lilium Design. I cannot thank them enough and look forward to working with them again in the future. **Comment from Lilium Designs:** > Thank you so much for your great feedback! We absolutely loved helping you transform your house into an updated and ideal place for you and your family. We hope you enjoy all the new spaces for years to come, and would love the chance to work with you again! **★★★★★ — edwinguiles, July 2014** > I posted a review on Yelp first and therefore some of my comments may be redundant. I felt it necessary to post a review on one more site at the very least because the job Vanessa and her company did was awesome. Not only was the product great but the whole design process itself I really appreciated. I didn't know anything about putting a place together. But Vanessa and her staff were so patient and kind with me and especially when I had questions or I changed my mind about something. Flat out, just hire Lilium if you need some interior design help. **★★★★ — noreenborja, July 2013** > I work with lilium to provide me a better layout of my aesthetic makeover for my house. We selected paint very well and, they measured all the rooms in my house and gave me diffrent options for the design. Afterwards, i have been in contact via email very well for my questions regarding color selection for the accesories. I tried at first to kind of make adjustments on their original plan but it just made my work bad. So i decided to stick to the floor plan coz its very well conducted from every single inches of my house:-). ## Selected projects - [Coastal Craftsman](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coastal-craftsman-pj-vj~2298441) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 14 - [Eclectic Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eclectic-kitchen-pj-vj~2298371) - Location: Encinitas, CA - Photos: 3 - [Contemporary California Rambler](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-california-rambler-pj-vj~1362070) - Location: La Mesa, CA - Photos: 11 - Description: Whole house renovation of a California Ranch home in La Mesa, CA, including structural changes to lower level to achieve an open floor plan, new finish materials throughout, and gutting/updating kitchen and all bathrooms. - [Modern Ranch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-ranch-pj-vj~1567228) - Location: Encinitas, CA - Photos: 5 - [Classic Midcentury Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-midcentury-modern-pj-vj~291006) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 13 - Description: Mid Century Modern - [Traditional Ranch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-ranch-pj-vj~1079313) - Location: Rancho Santa Fe, CA - Photos: 4 - [Del Mar Contemporary Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/del-mar-contemporary-residence-pj-vj~291044) - Location: Del Mar, CA - Photos: 5 - Description: Contemporary project in Del Mar, California - [Carlsbad Eclectic Townhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/carlsbad-eclectic-townhouse-pj-vj~70181) - Location: Carlsbad, CA - Photos: 2 - Description: Bright townhouse, mid century modern - [Crown Point Transitional Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/crown-point-transitional-kitchen-pj-vj~793943) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - Description: Transitional Kitchen Remodel for a Tudor House in San Diego, CA - [Cardiff Modern Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cardiff-modern-residence-pj-vj~793951) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - Description: Modern Upgrade for a Cardiff by the Sea Home - [Mission Hills Traditional Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mission-hills-traditional-bathroom-pj-vj~149022) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [La Jolla Transitional Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/la-jolla-transitional-residence-pj-vj~914426) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Rancho Santa Fe Traditional Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rancho-santa-fe-traditional-residence-pj-vj~573121) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Pacific Beach Contemporary House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pacific-beach-contemporary-house-pj-vj~70169) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Carlsbad Traditional Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/carlsbad-traditional-residence-pj-vj~93875) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Spanish Villa](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spanish-villa-pj-vj~2561483) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 13 [See all 16 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/lilium-designs-pfvwus-pf~880832161) ## Ideabooks - [zoe](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/46297797/list/zoe) — 24 ideas - [Outdoors](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/15458486/list/outdoors) — 16 ideas - [Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/8625467/list/kitchens) — 16 ideas - [Office](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/19215771/list/office) — 3 ideas - [Bedrooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/11352566/list/bedrooms) — 2 ideas - [Living Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/8497196/list/living-rooms) — 5 ideas - [Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/1662596/list/bathrooms) — 10 ideas - [Dining](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/11183271/list/dining) — 2 ideas - [Etc...](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/1754148/list/etc) — 7 ideas - [Draperies](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/1468943/list/draperies) — 6 ideas [See all 10 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/liliumdesigns) ## Community Q&A **Q: what is stain color and brand?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Sorry, we don't have that info! This was a custom stain color made by the cabinet shop. **Q: What tile was used for the shower? It's beautiful!** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The shower wall tile is from Encore ceramics, silver crackle glaze in a 2x8. Glad you like it as much as we do! :) http://encoreceramics.com **Q: tile** *(in Photo Questions)* Where can I find that backsplash tile? It's gorgeous!! A: Thanks, Melissa! The only photos we have of this kitchen are on our profile under Eclectic Kitchen. :) Thanks again! **Q: Where can I find the lights over the dining table?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Those pendant lights were from Pottery Barn. Thanks for your question! **Q: What is the tile on the floor?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Gray pattern on Off White Background, thanks! **Q: Stairs - Stain color?** *(in Photo Questions)* The stairs are a beautiful stain. Could you tell me what color or match I can find to replicate? Thank you A: Thanks for your question! These stairs were custom designed and fabricated, including the stain color.
