Castro Valley, CA Interior Design Professionals

“We just finished a large remodel project with Ann Lowengart Interiors, acting as the general contractor. Ann was great to work with throughout the project. She understood the owners' vision, design taste, and needs, and worked with us from framing to trim out to incorporate all of them. When we finished she had designed and created their dream, a beautiful new home.”

“How wonderful to have a decorator who does not provide cookie-cutter designs. She looked at our home, listened to who we are and what we wanted and provided us with choices. From our slate entry to our new floors to the built-ins in the family room to our granite in the kitchen and bathroom, it all ties together to provide a warm, comfortable home. We get so many compliments, I think we may have the design others want to copy.”

“This being our first major remodel to our home of 15 years, the planning and execution was a very daunting task for us because it included our Kitchen, Living room and Family room. We were not sure whether the decisions we take was going to be correct. That is when we met Swati at a booth in an event in Cupertino. Working with Swati was the best decision we took. She helped us with the planning, designing and working with our contractor throughout the project. She came up with practical ideas for our Kitchen. She recommended the stores from where we could buy materials and accompanied us while we shopped for appliances, flooring other major purchases for our project. Swati was always punctual for all appointments and was clear in all her communications. We highly recommend Swati for your home projects.”

“I used Niche Interiors to help me decorate and stylize my condo and it turned out amazing! The thing I was most impressed with was her ability to capture the essence of my personality and interests and transform it into fashionable interior design qualities. She was also easy to work with and provided plenty of suggestions that allowed me to have a wide selection of choices. I would highly recommend her to any friends.”

“Jeff Culbertson is a very professional decorator. His expertise in picking out colors, selecting the right style for any room is over and above my expectations. He has decorated two homes and my office. I received many, many compliments on his design and work. I would highly recommend him to decorate your home or commercial project. Erica R”

“I have done three projects with LMK Interiors - primary residence remodel (2008), investment property flip (2012) and current new primary home construction (2013). The only constant from those three projects has been Leslie with LMK Interiors. Simply put, I would not undertake a project on my house without her. She's everything you would want in a designer - great style, flexible, unbelievable color taste, easy to work with, spunky and fun but hardnosed if she needs to be. For any couple who is considering a project and knows the stress a remodel puts on the relationship - the best thing you can do is to hire Leslie. One of her greatest strengths is acting as a project manager. She does not advertise this service which I always think is crazy since she's so good at it. She will act as your quarterback between the contractor and architect. The bottom line on a project is that you need all three team members but Leslie is the most important for me as my wife and I defer almost all decisions to her. When the contractor asks whether you want 4” or 6” crown and what style or what type of window trim or whether the architect has the best master bathroom and kitchen layout – Leslie will ensure you make the right decision. Importantly, she coordinates the style and look of your entire house to flow seamlessly without looking like a model house or something too eclectic. She coordinated every step with us – architectural layout, lighting plan, appliances, cabinets, tile, hardwood floors, carpet, lighting fixtures, plumbing fixtures, windows, doors, hardware, window shades, paint color and furniture. Her partner Gayle is great as well and specializes in furniture selection. LMK Interiors make a very stressful, long, difficult process as much fun and as efficient as it can be.”

“We recently worked alongside Jennifer for a mutual client and I couldn't have had a better experience. Not only did she layout the project entirely in an easy to understand document, but regularly communicated with all parties involved at the slightest of change. I have worked with many designers and stagers and Jennifer is the tops! I would highly recommend Jennifer and her team if you want a project run smoothly!!”

“Juliana designed our kitchen in Glen Ellen and it came out beautifully. Right out of the first design we only made a couple of changes and she came back with the second design and it was perfect. She took me shopping and helped me pick out the appliances and tile/granite. We wanted to do it right the first time so we spent money on what counted and Juliana helped us spend less on the items that didn't show as much so we could stay within our budget. Our friends come and all want to know where we found the granite and we tell them Juliana found it for us! I wish we had another house for her to design!”

“I've worked with Heather for close to 2 years now and have been very happy with our relationship. I'm a contractor and can build what you need but I need there to be a vision. That's where Heather comes in. She has a great eye for putting together all the items from the tile and furnishing, all the way down to the robe hooks and drawer pulls. Heather selects the items and the result is always a "WOW" from the clients and a project we can be proud of. I've been so impressed that I hired her to create the design for my Kitchen and of course that turned out great which made my wife very happy. Thanks Heather!”
