Jana Dahl Design

Jana is very very professional. Not only does she listen to you and understand what your wants and needs are but also, she comes up with great ideas because she gets to know you. I have had her for three different homes, and I have loved all of them. Through the years, we have become good friends, and that was only through not only her expertise, but her great personality, which is friendly and warm. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. The home I am in now… I love you so much and I’m very happy.

We asked Jana to help with a room flip, turning our dining room into a TV room and the previous family room into a dining room. For many people this would have sounded improbable. But, with Jana's expertise and vision, she guided us along the way to make the correct decisions on a variety of issues ranging from furniture to wall covering. The outcome exceeds our expectations! The wallpaper is the perfect "wow" when you enter our home. The new "Den" is now the family's favorite room and the relocated dining room will accommodate large dinner parties. The most appreciated part of this project is that Jana has the eye to repurpose existing furniture so that we had reduced expenditures for new pieces. This includes moving ceiling fans, to pictures, tables and chairs. What we appreciate most about working with Jana is her understanding of the desires and needs of the client. It makes reaching a consensus on all aspects of the project very straightforward. As a seasoned professional we trusted her design knowledge and incorporated her ideas that ultimately lead to a very beautiful, functional, and pleasing project. Would we recommend Jana to other? ABSOLUTELY!

Jana was easy to reach. After we met and she went over the remodel process I decided to hire her for the project. Jana pays attention to every single detail and transforms your vision into reality. Jana also makes custom window treatments and she was able to surprise me with those! Overall she's patient, diligent, and I would hire her again for my next project.

Her homes are comfortable and innovative, inviting you feel like you could walk right in and feel at home. We highly recommend working with Jana. She's a pleasure to work with and makes designing look easy.

Jana has a keen eye for color. She was very patient and easy to work with in pulling together a complimentary palette throughout our home. She provided all the samples necessary so that we could make decisions that we will be happy with for many years to come.

I have had the pleasure to work with Jana over the years. She generally calls me in to create beautiful rugs for her wonderful high end clients. Our latest project was a beautiful custom home with concrete floors. The rugs we developed warmed up the areas and enhanced the beauty of the home. Jana is a professional that is on top of her followup and does a great job communicating the details to her clients.

Jana really pays attention to her client's style. She'll bring samples and ideas, and as her client tells her what she likes or doesn't like from those, Jana tailors her selections accordingly. She is also very detail-oriented and makes sure the look is perfect right down to the smallest element. She is a pleasure to work with, easy going and fun. She is all-around a great designer.

Jana is very informative, and patient with her clients. She spoke of different design aspects very well... and she is very committed to her clients.
