Amanda George Interior Design

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Amanda George Interior Design. From start to finish, this project was plagued with unprofessionalism, negligence, and poor communication. The most glaring issues were the rookie measurement errors that resulted in significant delays and over $10,000 in unforeseen expenses. Key errors included an incorrectly sized island panel, misaligned upper cabinets, an off-center sink cabinet, and miscolored cabinets—all of which required costly, time-consuming adjustments. Additionally, the use of MDF for baseboards was not adequately explained, leading to further issues given its poor durability in moisture-prone areas. To make matters worse, I am still missing critical trim panels and cabinet pieces, leaving the project incomplete months past its original August completion date. This was an expensive project, costing me $50,000, and I expected far more attention to detail and professionalism. These mistakes led to major complications that even required intervention from other companies, such as Crystal Cabinets, who had to step in and work around her team’s errors. Despite repeated attempts to address these issues, Amanda’s follow-up was minimal at best. Her refusal to take responsibility for the measurement and design errors—claiming they were installation issues despite clear evidence to the contrary—only added to my frustration. Choosing another contractor for installation was my decision due to her exorbitant quote, but this does not absolve her team from the initial errors that set the project back. The lack of accountability and resolution left me feeling misled and stressed throughout the entire process. I am currently taking her to small claims court to recover the additional costs incurred due to her team’s negligence. I cannot recommend Amanda George Interior Design due to their careless approach and unwillingness to take ownership of fundamental mistakes. Proceed with caution if you’re considering her services.

I love the look and the detail of the kitchen its cozy and spacious..and also all organise. And paint was so relaxing and calming.

We recently relocated to the area and purchased a new home in a very competitive market. After already being exhausted from that process; I knew I needed to hire a designer to help make our new house a home. I turned to Houzz to help find one. I focused on Amanda pretty quickly, had a phone consultation and hired her right away. This was my first time using a designer and Amanda helped me narrow down where to best spend our money: we focused on interior/exterior color story, new paint and carpet entire house, update powder room, add architectural detail to dining room, and other misc. details. Plus, she managed the trades (that alone was worth it as I would still be getting quotes!) and they were all professional & friendly. She pushed me design wise (I learned neutral is not always white/beige), I made (for me) bold decisions that I am now thrilled with, but did not push a /her design style, but more design philosophy. In the end, she led me to make smart decisions (spend here/save here) which is appreciated and we will be using her again when we remodel the kitchen and other bathrooms.

We hired Amanda George when we moved in the new home in Maple Valley. We wanted to make our home a beautiful yet comfortable and well-organized place to live, and as we are the family of 4 (2 parents and 2 small kids of age 1 and 4), that was a challenge. The scope of the work was the main floor (entrance, dining area, family room area) and all the windown in the house. Amanda was great: she came up with multiple ideas and guided us thrrough the process helping to identify what we liked and what not. With my spouse and I liking different things that was yet another challenge. She explained how things worked on her end, handled all the contractor work that was probably not as easy given the lockdown situation we had in 2020, but for us that was transparent and effortless. I especially love the window treatments and I get tons of comliments. Overal we got the house we love to live in and I'm looking forward to having more projects with Amanda.

Amanda George designed a beautiful, highly functional kitchen, giving me ideas that I never would have thought of. In addition, she is incredibly pleasant to work with.

I had the pleasure of getting to know and collaborate with Amanda in Washington state. Her keen understanding of space planning and ability to fully interpret and execute her client's design goals was immediately apparent. I truly enjoyed her thoughtful ideas and professionalism. I would gladly recommend her services.

Amanda was a total professional and shows real expertise in her field. Amanda helped design my kitchen — I did a total renovation. I explained to Amanda my general idea for what I wanted it to look like and she hit the nail on the head. I now have gorgeous cabinetry and the layout is ideal for cooking and preparing food. I couldn’t be more pleased with Amanda’s work. I plan on working w/ her again for additional projects in my home. Also, she was very quick to respond to all my questions. Amanda was truly a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her for all interior design needs!

Amanda George was the designer for our kitchen remodel. The kitchen had the original 1940 layout. There was nothing that was not improved when the project was complete. Lighting, traffic flow, flooring, windows, appliances. Countertop area was doubled, and cabinets tripled with great space saving features. Amanda walked us through appliance and countertop selection, backsplash tile and color scheme. All within the same footprint as the original kitchen. She was our advocate when dealing with the contractor. Amanda is always cheerful and professional. We have received nothing but the highest compliments on the new kitchen. We hired Amanda again as designer decorator for a living room /dinning room remodel. Amanda did a fantastic job. These rooms look cheery, bright, updated. Amanda walked us through furniture selection, colors, wall décor and fireplace mantle redesign. We could not be more pleased with the transformation.

Amanda George came highly recommended to me through a friend & now I'm pleased to recommend her to others. The project we chose was a master bathroom remodel due to it being outdated & having a leaky shower. Throughout the design process, Amanda listened carefully to what I wanted and tactfully offered suggestions of her own. She was able to whip up free hand drawings to help me picture the end results. She then took those drawings & plugged them into a computerized design program to create several layouts: accessories, plumbing, lighting, painting, millwork, etc. One of her best pieces of advice was to not skimp on fixtures. I love the solid, sturdy feel of all the faucets & handles we chose together. She also came up with a floating shower bench that's super cool & also gives the shower a bigger feel than one with a traditional bench. Most importantly, when my health took an unexpected turn, Amanda became a dear friend. I had to temporarily put the project on hold due to a cancer diagnosis. Amanda was very understanding & patient, sending me emails asking how I was doing; never pressuring me to continue the project. When I recovered from chemo, she was ready to pick up where we left off. I trusted her to communicate firmly & clearly with contractors as needed. The end result is a beautiful luxury master bath; more gorgeous than I could have imagined. It's a joy to show off her work when we have guests over & they swoon over my bathroom! I have not hesitated to give them Amanda's contact info. She's SO talented! (Note: First 2 pictures are "before" w/outdated tile & light fixture, leaky shower, carpeted floor, etc.)

We engaged Amanda's services around December 2015. Amanda took so much extra time with us to really understand our personal style and offered us advice on different products, textures and ideas. She was able to help us put a look together that we had envisioned in our minds but didn't know how to put together ourselves. We chose fossilized bamboo floors, which we found out during the project are not the easiest product to cut and work with. Amanda insisted we not settle on our dream and found a contractor who could put his talent and artistic expertise to work for us. The result was better than we ever thought possible with a beautiful custom railing, staircase and floors, which brought the contemporary look we were looking for. Amanda doesn't give up and is an amazing advocate for her customers! She became a friend through the process and we are pleased to recommend her!!! Thank you Amanda! We love our beautiful home.

We had a big remodel of our basement in the first quarter of 2016. We came in contact with Amanda and were wary of using a consultant from Lowes to handle our project simply because it was a new service Lowes offers and we didn't know anyone who had worked with her before. We went for it anyway. As it turns out, Amanda was awesome. She works so hard! I wonder if this woman ever sleeps or eats! She was always so responsive and knowledgeable. She's honest and has a great eye for design. We couldn't have been happier with her and the team Lowes used for installation and construction of the project. I can honestly say when construction was done, I missed seeing and talking to her and her team on a weekly or daily basis. My husband and I were so impressed that if the chance arises again for another project- she would be our first call!

We hired Amanda in May of 2016 to help us with a large scale remodel on a home we just purchased. The home was a time capsule to the 1970's and needed a fresh update throughout. We did a complete remodel of the master and main bathrooms as well as floor to ceiling updating throughout the main floor. Amanda's professionalism and attention to our budget and deadlines were impeccable. When faced with the inevitable situations that come with remodels, Amanda was always there to help us fix any issue and make sure the work was done correctly and done to a very high standard. Her knowledge of the products she uses as well as the quality of the work made our experience top notch.
