Tamara Marie Designs

A bathroom in my recently purchased home went from 1970’s shag carpet and wood paneling to a clean timeless and beautiful space that I can spend hours enjoying. My space is bright and beautiful with exquisite design choices. The Tamara Marie Designs (TMD) team provided exceptional design services, had beautiful fixture recommendation’s, and maintained excellent communication throughout the process. It was great having a designer who stayed in perfect sync with myself and the contractor. If you’re looking for a great design team I’d highly recommend TMD. Thank you team TMD. Already thinking about the next project.

I am incredibly grateful to Tamara for turning my vision into a beautiful, welcoming, and functional space for our Elder-Well Adult Day Program. This project was deeply personal for me, in honor of my mom, and Tamara treated it with the care, respect, and attention to detail it deserved. From the first meeting, Tamara listened with genuine empathy and nodded to my goals: creating a calming, accessible environment that fosters dignity, safety, and engagement for our adult participants. She included input from caregivers to ensure the layout supports mobility, ease of use, and daily routines. She crafted zones for socializing, quiet reflection, activities, and healing therapies, all while maintaining clear sightlines and unobstructed pathways. The result is a space that feels large and airy yet intimate and approachable. Every decision prioritized safety—non-slip flooring, ample grab bars, well-placed seating, proper lighting, and color contrasts that aid navigation for clients. Tamara fused warm, soothing tones with timeless patterns to create an environment that feels respectful, dignified, and hopeful—perfect for honoring my mom. . From ergonomic furniture choices to art that inspires, from soft textiles to acoustics that reduce noise, every element was carefully considered to enhance comfort and well-being. Timelines were met, budgets respected, and communication was clear and consistent. Tamara kept me informed at every milestone and remained flexible when adjustments were needed. The finished space not only meets our functional needs but genuinely uplifts everyone who enters. It has already become a place where participants look forward to mornings, staff feel confident in supporting activities, and families sense the love and care embedded in the design. If you’re seeking an interior designer who can transform a concept into a warm, respectful, and highly usable environment, Tamara is exceptional. She doesn’t just design rooms—she brings dreams to life and honors loved ones through thoughtful, inclusive design. I would not ever want to do another project without Tamara. She was the constant that kept my project going!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Tamara Marie Designs for a much-needed refresh of my home, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the very first consultation, Tamara's passion for design and her keen eye for detail were evident. She took the time to understand my style preferences and vision, offering insightful suggestions that perfectly balanced modern aesthetics with cozy comfort. Throughout the process, Tamara was not only professional but also incredibly approachable. She kept me updated on every aspect of the project and made sure I felt involved in the decision-making. Her creativity truly shone through as she transformed my living space into a beautiful sanctuary. The color palette she selected is vibrant yet harmonious, and the arrangement of furniture and decor maximizes both functionality and style. What impressed me the most was Tamara's ability to incorporate personal touches that reflect my personality, turning my house into a home. She sourced unique pieces that I would have never found on my own, and her attention to detail is simply unmatched. The entire experience was seamless, and the final reveal exceeded all my expectations. I now have a refreshed space that feels fresh, inviting, and uniquely mine. I wholeheartedly recommend Tamara Marie Designs to anyone looking to elevate their home. Thank you, Tamara, for your incredible work!

It was great working with Tamara and her team. They were very helpful with ideas and design. We also appreciated the great communication they had with our team.

Working with Tamara was such a great experience! She has a fantastic eye for detail and creativity, turning ideas into beautiful, polished designs. The process was smooth, communication was clear, and the final result exceeded expectations. Highly recommend!”

I had the pleasure of working with Tamara on a recent project, and her work was outstanding. She created a truly stunning design that transformed the home into a showpiece. What stood out most was the level of detail in her plans—something you rarely see in this industry. Her thoroughness and professionalism made the construction process smooth and efficient, and it was clear that her experience played a major role in the project’s success. When we ran across an issue, she quickly created a work around or details for us to move forward. I have referred her to other clients already.

This is the second time we’ve worked with Tamaras team. Our first project was smooth and they flew to Costa Rica to help redesign our vacation villas. The job was topnotch. The Tamara Marie team was incredible when our LA house needed a refresh and we felt really inspired by the designs and grateful for how quickly the work was complete.

I am a wallpaper installer worked with Tamara on many projects and all of them gone very smoothly. I like working with her because she is clear what she wants, understands challenges and always ready to find a best solution together so the end project is what she and the client have envisioned. She is also honest, direct and just a great person to deal with. I’ll work with her any time. Highly recommended!

Outstanding communication, projects always go so smooth , very professional open minded Always has a great design for the space presented , amazing team to work with now & in the future . Michael Guntrum

I was immediately impressed by Tamara's warm, friendly professionalism. She was keenly interested in all the details of my space and in my ideas for my home . She absolutely radiated with "Can Do " energy. Tamara introduced me to more than one contractor and I was able to select the contractor who fit best with my aesthetics and budget. While Tamara and her team suggested styles and materials, the lines of communication were always open. The renderings Tamara Marie Designs presented me were stunning and my finished bathrooms and kitchen look just like them! Tamara used her extensive and varied resources to procure EXACTLY the wallpaper, the tile, the toilets and the other special details that I wanted. She was as excited about my project as I was and wanted to make sure I received value for my dollars spent. Tamara Marie Designs gave me the confidence to use color and texture. My home is beautiful, functional and definitely unique.

My experience with Tamara Marie Designs far exceeded my expectations. Tamara and her team are far more like partners than vendors. They showed a genuine and vested interest in the success of our projects and always go above and beyond to ensure the best version of our projects were realized. They have proven to have exceptional vision and creativity along with an in depth understanding of structural and construction concepts which helps us tremendously durning the planning and rehab process. Their expertise in layout, design and finishes helps us consistently deliver unique and beautiful finished products. As a developer and flipper, I am certain that they have significantly increased our bottom line. We are truly grateful to have them as an integral part of our team and would highly recommend them to anybody needing a design partner.

Tamara is phenomenal to work with. I am a general contractor and I love to build, she loves to design so the partnership just works. Working with Tamara Designs they simplify all finishes and get everything delivered in time to ensure everyone stays on schedule. If something doesn’t work once the walls go up, Tamara always provides a better solution. Highly recommend her vision and services. Her eye for design made our project go into escrow in less than a week because the buyers fell in love with it so fast.

I absolutely loved working with Tamara Marie Designs. Tamara was so inspiringly creative and collaborative. For someone doing a large interior design project for the first time, she was an excellent guide through the process and truly enhanced my original vision for the space and made it even better. Tamara and her entire team were just a joy to work with and I would do it again in a heart beat.

Dreams do come true. I loved working with Tamara Marie Designs, her ability to take my ideas and bring them to life is her super power. She really takes the time to understand her clients wants and needs. Her brilliance is that she elevates those wants and needs to another level.

Tamara Marie Designs, TMD, is amazing! I began working with TMD March 2022 and they provided a whole house proposal. The market changed and I no longer had whole house funds. She's great at thinking outside the box. She suggested a kitchen remodel. The way my tri-level condo is situated completing only the kitchen would have looked odd. So, we embarked on a first floor remodel which included the dining room, powder room, flooring and paint downstairs in the Primary. Everything looks fabulous! She's creative, resourceful and fun to work with. The entire team felt like family and we bonded quickly. I didn't think I needed a designer because I knew what I wanted. Beyond happy with the results and the process. You won't be disappointed. Just email or call TMD!

Your search for a talented full-remodel luxury interior designer begins and ends here. We highly recommend Tamara Marie Designs. Working with Tamara and her team was great! During our first meeting, she really took the time to get to know us, our style, and our mid-century modern home (not just the areas we were remodeling). This was very apparent when she brought the design ideas, mood boards, and sample materials. If you’ve ever watched any of the design shows, when people are presented with design options, well, that’s exactly what you’ll get with Tamara and her team. And while some of our original items didn’t quite work the way we thought they would Tamara immediately pivoted and brought in items that were even more fabulous than the original items, the bonus was that there was almost no delay in the project when we made the changes. Tamara did a complete remodel of our kitchen (pictured: white stone countertops, light color wood cabinets w/brass pulls, chrome appliances, light grey stone floor tiles, and gold/white geometric backsplash) and two bathrooms (pictured: Baldwin Hills Estates) and an interior design of our dining room. The final results are simply stunning. You don’t have to sacrifice style for function, you really can have both with Tamara.

TAMARA IS AMAZING!!! She redid my kitchen (it's the green & pink one in her photos). She transformed what had been a barely functioning, tiny kitchen -- into the kitchen of my dreams! I still can't believe how she managed to fit everything I wanted (big fridge, new range, microwave, washer/dryer, double sink, dishwasher, AND so much storage) into the space while still making it feel airy and comfortable. Also, just so cute! Tamara relieved all my anxieties: she heard my vision for the space and also guided it. There were so many elements of a kitchen I would've forgotten (I'd never done a kitchen reno before!) and her exptertise and guidance was both necessary and grately appreciated. When it came to the design -- she knew I wanted pinks and greens, but I didn't have much of a vision beyond that. Tamara's was the vision that really came out and shined. And whenever she sensed any hesitancy from me on a design choice, she worked hard to find an option that I'd truly love. I met with a lot of designers before starting this project, and I am so, so glad I chose her. I highly recommend using her for your next home reno project!

We own multiple residentslu properties on the west side & needed a designer that was capable of juggling a lot of very specific requests. Tamara nailed it, all our spaces came out better than we ever imagined. Her team met & exceeded every deadline. The space is beautifully elevated AND completed under budget. We will use Tamara for every project! Highly recommended!

My husband found Tamara highly recommended on Next Door. We had been looking for an interior designer for over six months and, until Tamara, never found anyone who we felt got our aesthetic and really listened. We decided to have her decorate our small pool house. We told her that we were having our first gathering of friends at our new home and this would be the indoor part of the house they would use. We only gave her one week and she blew us away! She was very prompt and communicative every step of the way. Her and her team are also an absolute pleasure to work with. She is also budget conscious and worked within our budget. Any comments we had, she remedied promptly. We also love her general contractor, Casey, and her design assistant is awesome. They came in and transformed our space. We got (unsolicited) rave reviews from all the guests. We CANNOT wait for Tamara to make her mark on our entire house.

Tamara handled every aspect of the design of my office and the implementation details. I asked for a mid-century modern vibe and she balanced style, function, and my desire for an atmosphere that inspired peace and creativity. My office is inspiring and I’m happy to be in it as I work and create daily. Life changing design. Thanks Tamara.

Tamara turned my dream bathroom into a reality. Everytime I go in there (which is a lot) I say to myself, "I just love this bathroom" Tamara was a joy to work with and I so appreciated having her take the lead on the project and guide me through the stress of my first renovation.

If you're thinking about changing your living spaces and find yourself stalled, I guarantee Tamara Maria Designs, www.tamaramariedesigns.com can bring your Dreams to Life! I purchased my home 7 years ago and my kitchen and bathrooms needed updating. Being on the road a lot didn’t allow the time needed to complete what I knew was a huge undertaking. I met with contractors, but nothing ever materialized. I knew exactly what I was looking for in my overall design, but I really didn’t really know how to make it happen. I met Tamara years ago through her Marketing and Sales positions and I knew she had a strong passion for Design. During a casual conversation she mentioned that she was pursuing her passion and I instantly knew she was the person to make it happen! I knew I needed a Designer who understood project management, a reliable contractor, quality materials, options and some fresh ideas. Tamara and I consulted, she put together a story board that brought my vision together and we were off to the races! Tamara was AMAZING at driving my project and keeping everything on track. She sourced great materials and the most Amazing Contractor (Workorminators) and when I made changes mid-way, she pivoted to meet my needs. I could not have asked for a more consummate Design Professional who worked tirelessly to ensure I was completely satisfied. My expectations were exceeded! Thank You Tamara and Tamara Marie Designs for bringing me happiness in 2020!

I had the opportunity to be able to shoot Tamara’s incredible interior design work. As a photographer I pay attention to detail. Working with Tamara I noticed she has a great eye for detail with her work which is very important! She definitely knows how to take room and give it an inviting feel with comfortability and beauty. Not to mention her energy as the individual it’s so great to be around. She kept me smiling the whole time and intrigued with her conversations. Her personality definitely shows in her work as well! Can wait to work with Tamara again.

As a contractor and developer, I have worked with various designers in this field. Tamara's exceptional touch to every project we have worked on has been remarkable. I worked with Tamara on kitchen/bathroom/All Home remodelings and she was great to work with. Really honest and professional, understood the client's style and was quickly able to come up with suggestions and ideas based on what is workable. Tamara is very open-minded to new methods, absolutely realiable at all times. She is a great asset to our company and her dependability is unmatched. She listens and responds very well and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Tamara
