I worked with Ev over the course of about a year to update our living room and dining room. With Ev's excellent help, we picked paint colors, carpet, material to reupholster dining room chairs, and new furniture for the living room. Ev is extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to work with. I am really delighted with the results. I recommend her very highly.

Hello Anne,
You were a pure joy to work with and thank you for the kind words. I look forward to continuing with your upstairs improvements once you are ready for me.

I've worked with Ev from Elg Design on several projects as a Trade partner. She is very professional with an eye for both the big picture and the small details that bring everything together. It's always a pleasure working with Elg Design.

Thank you Patrick. It is my hope that I will have future opportunities to work with you on behalf of Joybird - you are consistently very responsive, knowledgable and easy to work with. We make a great team!

Excellent job in every respect. I am pleased with the design work and most of all the dedication and communication abilities of the designer. She listened to me, shared her thoughts and ideas based on what I said and then followed through quickly and professionally. I am so glad I used elf design for my home.

I'm glad that my help was so beneficial and appreciated. It's so nice to have a client such as yourself who is also an excellent communicator and able to 'be on the same page' from ideas to execution.

Fran Reizner

I was fortunate enough to have Ev for a design consult. She was delayed to our scheduled appointment but kept me appraised as to her ETA and was in constant contact. Ev is very knowledgeable about interior design. She listened to my wants and needs and understood my point of view and my concerns. She spent a great deal of time with me and I never felt rushed. She was excellent while speaking to a company on the phone and her professionalism shined. I appreciated her knowledge base and experience. I am at the front end of my project but feel confident that Ev will deliver a beautiful ending!

Thank you for such a lovely review! I am excited to move forward once you fill in your husband when back in town & I am 'green-lighted'.

Ev was was very professional. She arrived on time and came well prepared. She was hired to help coordinate paint colors in our new 3100 sq. ft. home. She also provided suggestions for furniture placement using both our current furniture and future purchases. She was very easy to work with and very flexible.

Thank you for your kind words. it was truly a pleasure helping you. I look forward to assisting you further when our schedules permit and you are ready to do some furnishing.

Ev is a supremely professional and talented individual who really worked well to translate our 50,000 foot concepts into real world choices. She listened carefully and creatively crafted recommendations to assist in advancing our project. Without her most able assistance, I seriously doubt that we would have made as much progress on refining our project as we have. I am sure that she has saved us several weeks of effort, immeasurable levels of stress and from making mistakes that we would regret sooner rather than later. We will continue to tap into her expertise and design creativity as we progress through this undertaking. Total project involves painting flooring replacement and remodel of 2 bathrooms estimated to cost about $40,000. Description of work: Engaged elg design for consulations on color and finishes. Ev guided us through selection of color pattete for painting, suggested flooring finishes and colors, and countertop materials and colors. She guided us in laying out the paint schema for the entire house.

Thank you for the kind words! It is so gratifying to know that my best efforts are rewarded by both making a qualitative difference & pleasing my clients. This has been an example of a win-win relationship where client & designer have an honest & open communication about wants, needs, cost, priorities, & a willingness to consider new options while not abandoning one's core personality. I am also flexible about how much involvement is required of me & who makes the purchases. It is also helpful to have clients who follow through on their 'homework' to do their part in moving a project forward.

When this first segment of home improvements is completed, I look forward to assisting with the "wish list" as additional elements are ready to be undertaken.

I will add photos once the flooring, paint & bathrooms are done. Excited!

elg design is steeped in excellence. I've known the owner, Ev, for many years and have seen her 200% dedication to everything she pursues. Her approach is professional yet warm, and most of all, she has excellent taste!

My experience with Ev @ ELG Design was great! She was always there to answer my questions whenever I need her. Ev was very focused on what is important to us. Ev has eyes for what is practical & looks good. She is very easy to work with & I will highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for professional design service. Excellent job, Ev!!

Ev provided a quality professional experience. She had excellent taste and made knowledgeable suggestions but never pushed her ideas on us. She was prompt and provided clear value for her fee. We were extremely pleased with the results which included reupholstering a sofa, loveseat, overstuffed chair, six dining room chairs and two bench cushions. Of great importance to us was the fact that she was pleasant, courteous and respectful of our time.

Comment from elg design:

Working with this client was a wonderful experience! When professionals & their clients are able to share & exchange ideas & articulate needs, wants & likes/dislikes, the entire process runs more smoothly & the best results are likely to happen. They were open to my vision & loved the results - so did I! The attached photos depict "after", fabric swatches (colors show somewhat more accurately if clicked on to enlarge), & "before". Yes, the floral sofa is the "before" version.

The price-range shown above by the client for the project included design fee, fabric, reconstruction materials, labor & related costs, for reupholstering 2 sofas, an oversized armchair, 6 dining chairs, 2 bench seats & various pillows & rolls.

Ev has the ability to craft comfortable and inviting spaces for her clients. She is a delightful person and a talented designer.

Ev came out & surveyed our property, observing architectural design, natural lighting, location & surrounding geography, & together with my love of certain color directions, came up with a color palette for the exterior of our 6,000+ sq.ft. house + detached garage, & wrought iron railing, that I love & am excited to execute. I was amazed at how she was able to pull out colors from her paint fan & put them together to create what I never would have been able to accomplish on my own. Additionally, she explained her reasons for & against various colors, & honored my input that reflects my personality in arriving at the colors chosen.

Thank you for your trust in me once again. The end result of your exterior colors is an eye-opener and compatible with both your personal style and the surrounding environment of Malibu's Santa Monica Mountains.

Ahmed Wads

Ev is a great interior designer and exceptionally professional. She arranged color schemes, furniture selections, and most importantly was her cost analysis of where to get the best return on every dollar spent. Ev is my go to interior designer and she receives a five stars not only for her work also for being a great person. Guest love the unit . Thanks Ev

Comment from elg design:

Thanks for this lovely review! This was a complete furnishing & outfitting of an empty rental unit into a turnkey vacation rental in Marina Del Rey, CA. Key was finding value-based but durable furniture & in a playful color palette given its coastal location & limited lighting interior. The client also loves color. He has had great success in renting it out & has received very positive feedback from his renters, along with top rating from at least one major rental website. I can't wait until our next project!

Commented: "natural wood" does this color best match natural maple or ash wood?I have the SAME question that I've asked more than once & yet to receive a reply. I too am seeking to match a medium maple - the walnut looks too dark.

September 2, 2017

Commented: It says the price for this is 294.00 on sale with free shippingyes I need realistic depiction of the wood finishes. from computer screen the natural looks like unfinished but walnut looks too dark to go with golden maple cabinets & built- ins.

Commented: No brown!Yes I agree with a creamy color. If you like accent walls you can do one in a darker shade. Accent the teal in the area rug with toss pillows, wall decor, &/or tabletop accessories.
