Studio Nish Interior Design

Dalia was wonderful in designing our kitchen remodel. She listened carefully to my ideas and translated my rudimentary plan into a beautiful, spacious new kitchen and living area. She brought new ideas and considerations to the design process. I really appreciated her patience with me through multiple renderings to get to that final design. New open kitchen looks fantastic!

It's hard to know where to begin when starting a project. Since this was my first remodel I didn't really know what the procedure was in getting starting on such a project. On our first meeting Dalia answered all my questions patiently and also made smart suggestions. I quickly realized she was the designer I wanted to work with. She understood what I wanted and helped me navigate through the needs and wants of my project. After a couple of meetings and when the design was completed Dalia made a computer layout of my new kitchen which was used to start and complete the kitchen. The end result was better than I could imagine. It was a delight to work with Dalia who was always on time and so pleasant to work with and has great design sense. Her services are highly recommended.

Dear Dalia - I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your design projects featured on Houzz. Your professional explanations and transparent design resources are so helpful. I love the feel of your simple yet sophisticated designs. I am currently remodeling my master bathroom and love seeing the quality and detail you put into the Lafayette bathroom. I am looking for a contemporary yet classic and timeless design and you’ve captured it perfectly! I hope to incorporate many of your creative touches and resources into my master bath remodel. Thank you for your kind communication with me during my project and inspiring me with a your beautiful bathroom design! Emily Haas - Orinda, CA

Dalia helped me with start up of a kitchen remodel. She was very patient, thoughtful, and a listener. She shared all her experience and knowledge with grace and professionalism. I highly recommend her!

Dalia from Studio Nish helped me pick colors for my new home as well as advised me on options for refinishing my hardwood floors. Dalia was so easy to work with. I was feeling overwhelmed by the process but after talking to Dalia I knew what I wanted to do. She helped me see how I could use color to create the feel I was after and how colors would read on the wall, which can be hard to do from a paint chip for a non-professional. Based on her advice I changed some of the colors I had selected and was so glad I did. Dalia also guided me through the options for staining and refinishing my floors, which I’d never done before. Again, based on Dalia’s advice I was able to achieve just the feel I wanted and with a more eco and kid friendly finish than originally planned. Thank you Dalia!

Dalia from Studio Nish helped us with our addition project. We added a master’s bedroom and a bathroom to our home, and renovated two bedrooms. We started working with Dalia before doing anything else. We talked a lot about what we would like to achieve, looked pictures, and created detailed drawings of our future bathroom and about all the cabinets. We hired a contractor exactly knowing what we want and how we want it - regarding to the bathroom layout and design, as well as built in cabinet designs. Working with a professional interior designer from the very beginning was the best thing we could have done. Dalia communicated with the builder about details we were not even thinking about, she made sure that everything is done according to the design. She gently helped us on the way, and made sure every detail is agreed on. She also pushed the professionals we worked with to think outside of the box to achieve what we desired. It was a wonderful experience to work with her. I highly recommend Dalia because she is a creative designer, and she is knowledgeable about technical details regarding construction work. Our addition is beautiful – down to the smallest detail. We could not have accomplish this without Dalia’s help as an interior designer, who was part of the project from the beginning to the very end. Thank you, Dalia. Looking forward working with you in the future!

I'm an architect who specializes in commercial interiors and had previously worked with Dalia at a leading San Francisco hospitality firm. Whenever I am asked for a recommendation for a residential interior designer, Studio Nish is my first choice. Dalia can bring style and taste to anything she touches. Not trendy, but always fresh with a timeless, casual luxury. She has that ability to turn any house into a home. Her background in hospitality design ensures that she never misses a detail. What I like about Dalia's approach is that she listens—really listens to find out what is unique about her clients. She tailors her design to each project and is able to capture the spirit of each home--always with style. I trust her opinion implicitly and know that anyone hiring Studio Nish will not only love the end results, but also the experience of working with Dalia along the way.

I had a privilege to work with Dalia at two distinguished design firms in San Francisco in the past. She impressed me with her punctuality, conscientiousness and thoroughness and naturally she became one of the most trustworthy and reliable team members. Having her work on your design project, you will be guided through the design process and you will appreciate her calm nature during often hectic construction phase.

I worked with Dalia to remodel our guest bathroom, and I found her to be really great to work with. This was the first time I was remodeling a part of the house, and she helped guide me through the process and get the work done in a timely manner. I didn't always know what I wanted, so she took the time to understand my design preferences, present me with options, and give her expert opinion when I needed it. The bathroom looks beautiful in no small part due to Dalia's sense of style and attention to detail.

I had the pleasure of working on a spa project with Dalia. She has tremendous attention to detail, is a good team player and most importantly an excellent communicator. Dalia is incredibly talented, solving problems with a creative perspective; perhaps from her uniquely diverse background growing up in Japan, Europe and the United States; giving each project a worldly international touch. As a trusted colleague, she is genuine honest loyal and mature beyond her years. These are personal traits which make Dalia an exceptional designer!

We hired Studio Nish to help us transform our dated kitchen. Dalia understood our style, what we wanted to achieve and gave us great price options in different ranges. She was able to not just meet our goals but exceed our expectations. We LOVE everything about our new kitchen! Thanks, Don & Tesa
