We wanted a functional space that is children friendly. She helped us select finishes, furniture and performed a color consultation. > She truly made the design process exciting and easy. We looked forward to our meetings with her to see what she would come up with. The warm color palette she selected is beautiful! Sophie truly nailed it! Not only did she listen to our needs, she went above and beyond! Our home is is simply stunning yet a space our 6 year old can enjoy. **Comment from Sophisticate Interiors:** > Thank you Ada for this nice review. So glad you are happy with the design! **★★★★★ — Nick Belloni, Sept. 2017** > As a first time home owner I really felt overwhelmed and had no clue where to start. Sophie gave me a complete design consultation and explained the process , what she would do and how everything would go. A few weeks later she started showing me the design based on the ideas that we talked about. She made made it super easy. I truly love the soothing colors she selected, as well as the art work that matched my style. The furniture is stylish yet very comfortable, and she even created a fun little area that is pet friendly for my dog that I love and my dog loves too. > > One important thing that I wish to mention is that she worked within the budget I allocated to this project. I am proud of my beautiful home and totally recommend Sophie. **Comment from Sophisticate Interiors:** > Thank you Nick for taking the time to review us. We are thrilled that you like the end result. **★★★★★ — Kenneth Henderson, Sept. 2017** > Sophie's advice and guidance in selecting our home furnishings was extraordinary. Her taste and attention to detail is exceptional. I would highly recommend her services to anyone seeking expert design advice. **Comment from Sophisticate Interiors:** > Thank you Ken for this nice review. It means a lot to us. **★★★★★ — Eileen Blum Bourgade, Sept. 2017** > Very professional and GREAT taste in furnishings and colors. Sophie has exquisite taste and a great eye. > I purchased a few beds, dressers, chairs and tables from Sophie... a combination of antique furniture made- to -order for my house in Pacific Heights. Great quality and reasonable prices. **Comment from Sophisticate Interiors:** > Thank you Eileen for this nice review. We are so happy you like the furniture we selected for you! **★★★★★ — GAIL ARTIKASLAN, Sept. 2017** > Sophie made our remodel a breeze. She took so much time making sure that everything went smoothly and her sub contractors were very professional and knew their stuff. Sophie remodeled our kitchen and updated our flooring and paint color throughout the house. She is wonderful to work with and she really listens to what you want. I would definetly call on her again if I was to start a new home project. **Comment from Sophisticate Interiors:** > Thank you Gail for giving us the opportunity to help enhance the features of your home.. So glad you are happy with the kitchen and the wood floors. You home has a warm feeling and is so welcoming. **★★★★★ — alev Buyukkokten, Sept. 2017** > The project cost about 75,000$, it was a furniture and art selection. Green and sustainable. Highly recommend. I am very happy with the work done. **Comment from Sophisticate Interiors:** > Thank you Alev! So happy you are thrilled with the outcome. Your home does look like and a private art gallery and is a true reflection of who you are. **★★★★★ — Katie Partridge, April 2017** > I bought my first home, and was overwhelmed and excited with the project of designing it to truly make it my own. As much as I wanted to take a hands-on approach, I knew I didn't have the time. From the stories I'd heard, I was concerned with what I would have to spend to hire a great designer. I was referred to Sophie by a great mutual friend who swore by her - she'd recently finished work on his new place. > > We set an appointment, and she and her project manager spent 2 hours with me walking through my condo and taking measurements, and just trying to get to know me and my aesthetic. We set a budget, a timeline and prioritized what things we wanted to accomplish first. She followed-up in a couple days with a Dropbox folder filled with furniture, countertop samples, light fixtures and art. She provided 3-4 carefully selected options for every piece which was enough to provide variety but not overwhelming. > > Aside from the furniture, she also is a color specialist and we focused on painting several rooms to complement the new furniture and art. My favorite shade is the minty grey green we painted the bedroom. It transformed the space into a little oasis. Sophie actually mixed this shade on her own! > > We picked out some beautiful new pieces, but I also love that Sophie respected the original pieces I started with that I wanted to keep. We actually worked to re-appropriate many of them. For example, we are converting a vintage dresser into a wet bar by fashioning it with a glass top. This is another area where Sophie's creativity really shines. > > Sophie has an amazing team of people helping bring her vision to life. She coordinated my walls being painted after we tested several colors on my walls to decide. The painter did a perfect job. She oversaw my furniture being delivered and placed in my condo. I redid my countertops and she got the stone ordered, cut and installed in less than three weeks so my place would be ready for Christmas. My place looks incredible and I couldn't have done it without Sophie. She is so committed to her clients, respects the budget she's given and pushes to finish the project she's been hired for in the timeline discussed at the beginning of the work. I am looking forward to working with Sophie on my next design projects. When it comes to design, she is everything!! **Comment from Sophisticate Interiors:** > Thank you so much Katie for this review. It was a real privilege to be able to create a beautiful sanctuary you can call home. We are glad we were able to honor your family pieces. We cannot wait for phase \#2. **★★★★★ — Joel Goodrich, March 2017** > Sophie did an absolutely fabulous job- an incredible style! She was very efficient also and caused a minimum of disruption, please came in on budget- I wold highly recommend her! **Comment from Sophisticate Interiors:** > Thank you so much Joel for your comment and so glad you like your home. **★★★★★ — Adrienne Alexander, Dec. 2016** > Love everything Sophie did to make our home beautiful! > My all white walls were changed to a color palette of warm colors which changed the entire look of our home. She also suggested the perfect furniture to compliment the new colors. Our home is comfortable for our lifestyle, but has a sophisticated elegance. **★★★★★ — Teresa Rodriguez, Nov. 2016** > Sophie is a genius, artist, magician, and a visionary. She can take any size space and transform it into the palace of your dreams. Her attention to detail is incredible and when she is working with you, you feel like the center of her universe. Along with being an award-winning designer who has helped promote green living, she is an avid member of the community and is always finding ways to give back and help others. If you want the best, look no further! **★★★★★ — ekstati, Sept. 2016** > Sophisticate Interiors by > Sophie Azouaou, > Interior Design > http://www.sophisticateinteriors.com/ > really maximized the Dr Chow's space , 1 Daniel Burnham Ct, San Francisco, > by simplifying and enhancing its flow and updating the floors and walls to a modern style. The new built ins take better advantage of the layout. > I'd like to recommend > Sophisticate Interiors to everyone. It is \# 1 choice . **★★★★★ — jdosato, Sept. 2016** > This review is for the redesign of the interior of Serenity MedSpa on the 2nd floor of the 100+ year old 126 Post St building. Sophisticate Interiors' new contemporary, clean design takes maximum advantage of natural light where possible supplemented by LEEDs certified illumination. All materials are eco friendly, in lighter tones with an intriguing mix of textures. The space looks very welcoming and they did a great job at transforming an old, dated space into a very welcoming oasis for patients and an alluring one for potential future clients. I would highly recommend them for residential and commercial projects. ## Selected projects - [Green Sustainable Monochromatic Master Bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/green-sustainable-monochromatic-master-bedroom-pj-vj~7510) - Location: San Francisco, CA - Photos: 7 - Description: This project is green and sustainable using low VOC paint, reclaimed white wood floor, green certified window coverings, LED lighting and trying to use as much natural light as possible.
