Valerie Halas Design

Valerie helped us think through and then design a relatively extensive remodel of our master suite and its bathroom. We have an old house and wanted to tear down walls and maximize space without destroying the features and feel of our old home, and Valerie was great at quickly identifying what we wanted and coming up with a solution that was perfect! She has been so helpful to have on our team, from putting together the drawings, helping us identify and select a contractor, and then staying on top of the timeline regarding getting everything together for our upcoming construction work. I will never do another remodeling project without hiring Valerie! I highly, highly recommend working with her - it makes the whole process so much less stressful for the homeowner!

Valerie helped us design a front porch for our home. She was very responsive and flexible while trying to match our vision. She walked us through the process of the review board and permits. She assisted in finding the right contractor. We would definitely recommend her to everyone!

Valerie was wonderful to work with to design the bathroom, walk-in closet and bedroom hang-out space of our 3rd floor renovation. Valerie has excellent communication skills and a very thorough process to make sure that she understood our needs and preferences and then created a very functional and beautiful design. Importantly, she demonstrated flexibility to adapt when needed. Valerie is particularly strong in the aesthetic sense: wonderfully blending colors, finishes, and textures that are timeless not merely trendy. Lastly, Valerie was a pleasure to work with in person. We highly recommend Valerie!

I had purchased a house in January of 2020 right before COVID-19 hit the states. Due to the pandemic and the associated supply chain issues I had never gotten around to purchasing furniture, and soon I had grown accustomed to a barebones home. When I finally decided it was time to purchase furniture/paint/etc... I found the process overwhelming. There are far too many color and style choices out there. Valerie has an excellent eye for design, and was able to completely reimagine my space. My house now really does feel like a home.

Valerie assisted us in designing our new build home that used environmentally friendly materials and designed in a way that could easily accommodate us as we grow older. She was very easy to work with and listened intently to our needs and thought of creative ways to incorporate them into our home. We had some unique wooden art work which she used on a focal wall in a striking way. Because of our love of antiques, she creatively thought of a way to transform an old antique dresser into the base of the sink in our guest bath and designed a custom display case to display our collectibles and treasures. When someone comes to our home they always comment on the beautiful, unique features. We have had a long relationship with Valerie and have utilized her skills on many different types of projects over the years will continue to use her services in the future.

Valerie is detail oriented, thorough, communicative, flexible, and interactive. I love how she focuses on functionality while also making them beautiful. She’s demonstrated a great amount of creative solutions as problems arise without diminishing the integrity of the project. Highly recommended!
