Featured Reviews for Interior Designers & House Decorators in Ann Arbor

Elizabeth J Interiors, LLC
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Ann Arbor
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 31, 2013
“Elizabeth has interior designed our former home and our current home including basement; to say we know her work would be an understatement. We hired Elizabeth mainly for her exquisite taste in design and colors included with that was an energy of excitement and the willingness to help us choose the perfect design and/or scheme for our home. (We interviewed 7 other Interior Designers before Elizabeth.) Always professional. Great ideas; showed us various styles for various rooms with specified colors and window treatments to match. Guesswork is taken away; meaning, we did not have to guess which style was going to work best in a particular room(s), we just had to pick the one we wanted. Overall, after 9 years in our current home, we still receive the highest of compliments from friends, guests and neighbors...a great feeling! Again, the scope of the work was for paint colors, window treatments and installation, furniture, accessories and space planning. Elizabeth does it all with great success!”

“Working with Rachel has been a really rewarding experience. She helped me design and finish my walkout basement which was started in December of 2014. She helped finish off my basement with a bar, a drink station, bathroom, laundry room with open storage, a family room, rec room for kids and a two sitting areas one with a fireplace and the other in front of a wall of windows. Rachel has a great eye and is a great listener. My entire home is my dream home thanks to Rachel. Anytime spent with her is well worth it. I'm just reviewing my basement however, she's worked on my entire home.”

“Kitty is a wonderful, collaborative interior designer and I love working with her. I first hired Kitty in 2001 when we were building our custom home. She was involved with floor planning, paint, flooring, cabinetry. Her recommendations made a positive difference in how our home was done, as we had a difficult lot on which to build and therefore a limited footprint. She also provided a design concept with furniture, color scheme, fabrics, etc. Over the years I contacted her for several other projects - usually once a year or so, and they encompassed such things as repainting, drapery design and coordination with seamstress, wall art layout, more furniture, bedding/bedskirts, furniture layout, accessories, etc. Kitty is amazingly easy to work with. I have had experiences with two designers in the past where the designer forced ideas on me that I ultimately did not love. Kitty understands my design style and "gets" what I like in my coastal-style home. She is thoughtful, kind, collaborative and organized. She works around sentimental items that I have rather than turning her nose up at them. My home has Kitty's stamp all over it. I have referred her to others and she will be my designer for life!”

  5. Implementation: Ordering, delivery coordination, and installation Throughout the process, expect regular communication, revisions based on your feedback, and project updates. A typical room design can take 8-12 weeks, while larger projects may extend several months depending on scope and construction needs.
Before your first meeting with a designer:
  • Set a realistic budget, including both design fees and furnishings

Being clear about your expectations, constraints, and preferences from the start helps create a smooth and successful design process.

Hiring an Interior Designer in Ann Arbor, MI


If you're planning a large home improvement project, remodel, or new build, hiring a general contractor is a crucial decision. These professionals manage all aspects of construction projects to ensure timely completion and client satisfaction.

General contractors in Ann Arbor, also known as project managers, oversee the entire construction or remodeling process. They collaborate with architects to review plans, arrange permits and inspections, and manage day-to-day operations. While they may handle some tasks like carpentry directly, they primarily coordinate specialized subcontractors for services such as electrical work, plumbing, and painting.


When selecting a general contractor, thoroughly evaluate their bids, timing, and pricing. Unusual variations in cost estimates may indicate premium charges or deliberate underbidding. Always check references, read reviews, and visit completed projects. Once you choose an Ann Arbor contractor, carefully review the contract to ensure clear alignment on project expectations.


Key questions to ask potential contractors in Ann Arbor, MI:


  • How long have you been in business and what similar projects have you completed?
  • Who will work on the project and what qualities do you seek in subcontractors?
  • Can you provide references and proof of licensing and insurance?
  • How do you handle pricing, including changes and budget overruns?
  • What is your project timeline and what will you need from me?
  • What type of contract do you use and what documentation will you provide?
  • What is your payment schedule and deposit requirement?
  • What warranties or guarantees do you offer on completed work?
  • How do you handle disputes or issues during construction?
  • What is the typical timeline for a project like mine?
