Featured Reviews for Interior Designers & House Decorators in Carlsbad

Ocean Drive Designs
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Carlsbad
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 24, 2021
“I highly recommend Marwan and Ocean Drive designs. He transformed our kitchen and the rest of our house into a beautiful space that we love to come home to; he listens better than most to his client's wants/needs and incorporates these into their design aesthetic. Marwan was very patient with us through the process, always willing to entertain our crazy ideas that at the end he made them a reality. He provided great 3D sketches which gave us a very good idea of what the end result was going to look like, helping visualize things. You won’t find a nicer and more ethical designer & contractor than Marwan. We highly recommend Ocean Drive Designs and will definitely use them for any future projects.”

Keely Brewer Interior Design
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Carlsbad
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 8, 2015
“Keely Brewer was referred to us by a trusted contact. My initial project was a bed crown, which she helped create/design/install, and it turned out beautifully! So much so, that we decided to use her for additional interior and remodel projects, our kitchen in particular. Kitchen redesigns are her specialty, and suffice to say, she did a tremendous job and gave us exactly what we wanted. Working with Keely has been a pleasure--she's personable and very accommodating, in addition to being extremely knowledgeable...and has turned into a good friend as well. She is reliable and sees all her projects through from start to finish, and beyond! Keely comes highly recommended, and can successfully handle any design challenge and exceed your expectations!”

“I knew I wanted my home to finally look good after such a long time sitting with bare walls and furniture that wasn’t “me.” I found Michelle and although I never saw myself as someone who could afford a designer, I instantly felt at ease with her and knew that I made a decision I only wish I had made long ago!! Michelle is super professional and uber talented. Within a few short meetings and quick screen shares, she blew me away with how much she KNEW my styles and preferences. I was able to then sit back and watch my space transform into a dream house. I am so excited to have people over now, whereas before I’d feel self conscious. My house is now an extension of me and my style. She took pieces I already had and loved in my home and elevated them to a new level, while bringing in a mix of new and old that gave me one of those “Pinterest worthy” homes. Highly highly recommended. Can’t wait for my best project with her!!”

“Jeanelle is a master! She has an amazing eye for design. I first used Jeanelle for the complete design and remodel of my aerial fitness studio. I was so impressed with her work that I also used her for my home kitchen remodel. We added new cabinets, backsplash, paint, appliances, and flooring throughout the entire bottom floor. She not only come up with ideas that I would never have thought of, but she also made sure to incorporate my personal design style and personality. She was always sensitive to cost and worked hard to stay within my budget. She also made it very easy to work with all of the contractors, painters, etc. All of the contractors she works with are professional and really care about their work. In most cases, I did not have to deal directly with anyone other than Jeanelle - so easy! Not only did she stick to the timeline given, but was early in some cases. She was very easy to communicate with and a pleasure to work with! I will definitely be using her for any future home design projects!”

Overall finish of the diningroom The suggestions were all considered as they were out of the box ideas, reasonably priced changes & easy to complete. We would definitely use this company again.”

That's where a local Carlsbad interior designer comes in. A home interior decorator will help distill your tastes and ideas into a design that suits the needs of your space.

What does an interior designer do?


A good home design professional will hone your style down to its very essence and be able to choose a functional layout that feels natural to you. Interior design companies can be involved as much or as little as the client desires. Many clients who hire a house interior decorator in Carlsbad, CA — particularly those who are remodeling — have a good sense of how the room should look and what products they should use. Often clients will insist that interior design contractors use the products already present in the house. Other times a designer will need to start from scratch — especially if this is a newly purchased or just-built home. An interior design firm will need to figure out exactly what the client needs, which includes organizing rooms, picking flooring and wall colors, and finding furniture to complement it all. Sometimes that means he or she will have to recruit help from other Carlsbad, CA home professionals to help create the perfect look for your renovation.

Do your research before meeting with an interior design contractor or home decorator in Carlsbad, CA. Ask yourself what you want your space to become and what it will be used for. Figure out the extent of what you need help with, what your must-haves are and what your budget is. Interior design services can add up fast, so be up front with a potential design firm or individual from the beginning. Also, pick an interior decorator that fits your style. Browse through the portfolios of different Carlsbad interior design firms and decide if you would live in those houses. Just because you like something doesn’t mean you could live in it. There's a big difference!

Questions to ask when you meet with local Carlsbad interior designers:


  • Can you give me a referral? (It makes a big difference to talk with a client who's worked with the designer before.)
  • Can I see your design portfolio?
  • When will the home renovation be done?
  • Do you charge an hourly rate or a flat rate, or use the cost-plus method or a mixed method?
