### Featured Review

**★★★★★ — Ellen Smith, Nov. 2019**

> Norman Design Group is an outstanding design firm and a pleasure to collaborate with.  Phil, Markie, Faith, Michelle, Sonia, and Rocio have been an outstanding team, one which we are proud to call friends now after 2 projects together.  They tackle a project with professionalism and lots of enthusiasm!  We just finished working on a lake house in Lake Arrowhead and we LOVE how the house and its furnishings make us feel.  They were able to embrace the theme, make it super comfortable and cozy but also give us a renewed sense of fun there that we will cherish for quite a long time.  They gave us a timeless place that isn't bogged down with trends. We are thrilled with everything they have touched and just can't seem to stop finding things for them to do!

**★★★★★ — Powers Wallpapering, Oct. 2022**

> Norman Design Group are an outstanding design team. We were the wallpaper installers in a home in Palos Verdes. The papers chosen and design of the home were gorgeous! As a trade on site working with Sonia was seamless and scheduling was a breeze. We look forward to being on one of their sites again.

**★★★★★ — christineframe, Oct. 2019**

> We were so delighted by the work that Norman Design Group did on our home. They guided us thru the entire design process. Our project started with suggestions from the blueprint planning phases, selections of finishes, furniture, paint colors, and finished with adornments. Phil, Markie, and team were very professional and gave us thoughtful insight the entire process. Our finished result is a unique, comfortable home that we love!

**★★★★★ — Jason, Oct. 2019**

> Phil and Markie worked on our project of redesigning our house.  They got involved after the initial architectural drawings were done and came up with some great tweaks to make the space more functional/usable without changing the entire thing (which we couldn't do).
>
> Next, they worked with us on all the decisions of colors, flooring, furnishings, you name it.  There are so many decisions and they were a great help!
>
> Throughout the project they were responsive and a pleasure to work with!

**★★★★★ — Michele Poletti, Oct. 2019**

> I am so pleased, elated actually with the results of our extensive remodel.  Norman Design Group gave me the house and guest house of my dreams.  They are extremely professional, talented and so easy to work with.  Both Markie and Phil were able to listen to my objectives and they took my vision and elevated it beyond what I saw possible.  I highly recommend Norman Design Group.  My home now feels like my sanctuary!

**★★★★★ — Candlelight Systems, Sept. 2016**

> Our company, Candlelight Systems, has been fortunate enough to collaborate with Norman Design Group on a multitude of different homes throughout the last five years. Every time that we work with Phil and his entire team, we are impressed by their dedication to great design and their incredible attention to detail. As a wholesale motorized window treatment provider, it has been nothing short of an enjoyable working relationship since the start. We look forward to creating many more beautiful projects together, and would recommend their design services to anyone!

**Comment from Norman Design Group, Inc.:**

> Thank you so much for the kind words, we really enjoyed working with you!

**★★★★★ — Sara Balough Design, March 2016**

> I got to sit in and watch Phil and Elif in action on a friends project - I was so impressed with their professionalism.  The job was paces nicely and we progressed through all the important rooms with weekly meetings - - I loved the designs I saw- Great job!

**Comment from Norman Design Group, Inc.:**

> We appreciate that you took some time to endorse our work on Houzz. Thank you, Sara!

**★★★★★ — righty13, March 2015**

> Outstanding job overseeing a remodel of a 5000 sf Mediterranean home and comprehensive interior design/decorating (all furniture, window and wall treatments, flooring, etc.) in Palos Verdes estates.  This was the 2nd significant project we have done with Norman Design.

**★★★★★ — clayramsdell, March 2015**

> Phil did such a fantastic job on our home I can't say enough. He is professional, a great listener, and comes up with wonderful ideas. He truly made our house a home and I would recommend him to anyone!

**★★★★★ — queenwasp, March 2015**

> The Norman Design Group completely remodeled my kitchen, master bath, master bedroom, family room, living room, and dining room, They were easy to work with and did a phenomenal job. They worked very well with my contractor. Everything was done perfectly and on time! I have recommended them to  friends and will continue to do so. All my future projects will be done by them! Phil, Elif and the gang are simply the best!

**★★★★★ — dianeimbach, March 2015**

> Took copious notes upon first meeting.  Provided many samples of fabric, hardware and other materials to choose from.  Punctuality from all staff.  Accounting to a tee.  Respectful of our personal space.  Completed job on time.  Always available.

**★★★★★ — dkaplan5, March 2015**

> I found Norman Design group to be a wonderful group of designers to work with. We designed and furnished our entire 5,000 sq foot home with them. We had weekly meeting to work on specific rooms and details for over a year before we moved in. By the time we moved in, we loved everything in our house and still liked our designers! That's saying something!
> They are a very well run, versatile group. I recommend them without reservation.

**★★★★★ — orlandow, March 2015**

> NDG is not your normal interior design firm.  NGD does all aspects of the design from interior to working with your architect, contractor, cabinet makers, vendors/suppliers, landscape architect, lighting designer, audio/visual, & even Feng-Shui master to making sure the end creation exceeds the client expectation functionally and aesthetically.

**★★★★★ — Heather Ramsdell, March 2015**

> I hired Norman Design Group before the architectural plans for my new home were finished.  Phil was instrumental in adding all of the details that really make a home custom.  He designed all details for my home, including cabinets, base and case moldings, door styles, hardware, incredible ceilings, lighting, paint colors, stone and tile.  He put in so much attention to detail that I never could have done on my own.  Most of these items were selected before we even started construction.  This saved us time and allowed us to get more accurate construction bids.  Phil and his team also selected interior furnishings for our home.  He was able to select incredible furnishings and accessories and was conscientious of our budget.   I was I give my highest recommendation to Phil, Elif, Susan and the entire Norman Design Group team.

**★★★★★ — cschauerman, Feb. 2014**

> Phil and his staff immediately keyed into our style and decorated our home with custom as well as ready-made products that fit our home and lifestyle perfectly.  We had completed a total update to our home and needed help furnishing it, and Norman Design Group did a wonderful job designing and selecting products that we love.
