Custom Closet Designers Near Waimea

“Since we were pleased with the outcome of using an interior designer in our first house, we decided to try again in our new location. We contacted Susan Moss of Trans-Pacific Design in Waimea, Hawaii, after seeing her work in a magazine. Susan began by sending a lengthy questionnaire and asking us to set up a Houzz account, so we could share photos of things she and we liked. When we met, her suggestions showed that she had paid close attention to our questionnaire responses and the uploaded Houzz photos. Even more promising was that she and we had uploaded similar photos, so my husband and I knew Trans-Pacific Design was right for us. Our architect had included a lot of detail in his plans, so our initial request was limited to Susan assisting us with colors, especially with coordinating various woods incorporated in the design—doors, T&G ceilings, floors and cabinets. We were so impressed with her work that we found ourselves asking for additional help with recessed and kitchen lighting, tile, wallpaper and elevations. One area where she was a huge help was when my husband and I struggled with making our furniture fit on the plans in one of our multipurpose rooms—a home office, media room, guest room. After looking at the plans, Susan changed the single entry door to a pair of pocket doors and centered them to mirror the sliding glass doors on the opposite wall. For the other 2 walls, she tucked a couch between 2 single closets—instead of the plan’s 1 large closet—and hung the TV over the office desk on the opposite wall. We have been in the house 6 months, and the room is the perfect solution for working during the day and relaxing in the evening. We also appreciated Susan giving us price options. For example, for our trim, T&G ceilings, etc., the architect had specified mixed-grain Douglas fir. Susan took the time to explain why she recommended vertical grain Douglas fir, even though there was a sizable price difference. She was absolutely right. The vertical grain was the better choice for the clean, calm, sophisticated look we wanted. Building a house during Covid was no simple task, especially since we are in Hawaii and getting products is difficult and time-consuming in the best of times. Susan used her expertise and contacts to source materials for great choices. Choosing Trans-Pacific Design was money very well spent. In some cases, her knowledge—local and global—even saved us money. Anyone who has built a home knows it can be stressful. Susan’s upbeat personality and her staff’s professionalism made the project enjoyable. Susan gave the project—and us—a lot of attention. She and her staff were always available for calls and messages, and they answered our emails promptly. Friends and family come to our house and say, “Wow!” More importantly, WE love the beauty and comfort of our home. If we build again, Susan will be the first professional we call. And we will recommend her and Trans-Pacific Design to anyone who starts a house”

“Top Shelf Cabinet Solutions helped me realize the dream kitchen that I have always wanted. I have a bit of an eccentric taste so it was challenging to find someone who I could work with for the desired effect of what I was looking for. Laura and Kevin spent a day at my house measuring and consulting in order for us to achieve the desired result...my ultimate kitchen!”

“"We interviewed several designers for our Hawaii home; we selected Gina not solely for her creativity, but for her organizational skills and attention to detail as well. When you are engaged in a homebuilding project 3500 miles from home you cannot afford to have half the package. Gina is not only the real deal, she's the whole deal. Gina and the entire team at Willman Interiors made our Hawaii project fun and successful."”
