    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 18, 2013
    “McRae Lambert & Dunn provided a full-service interior design for the residence we worked on together. They are a wonderful design team to work with - very professional. They are confident in their work, and conscientious of the client. They responded quickly and efficiently to design changes during construction. Their drawings were very organized and complete. It was a pleasure to work with them, and we look forward to another project with them in the future.”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 15, 2015
    “Jodi Fleming's work is the definition of perfection. She truly cares about each client and goes above and beyond to ensure the finished project is exactly what the client had envisioned. I have known Jodi and her team for many years and she has worked with my family in five different homes. I can honestly say every person that has stepped foot in each one has been amazed at the beauty and the detail of her work. I would HIGHLY recommend her services to anyone who is looking for a place that not only feels like home, but is envied by everyone who steps inside!”

    “I recently became a homeowner and knew that I wanted a certain look for my living area but needed help in putting it all together. I wanted feminine, yet functional and using a decorative plate as inspiration, the Divas nailed it and delivered! My daughter and I love coming home and retreating in our glamorous space. Thank you Divas!!”

    Interior Designers & House Decorators in Lake Forest
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 26, 2018
    “JoJo helped me select furniture for my formal living space. There were several things I wanted--a place for books and a desk, as well as seating. I was very happy with the way she helped me divide up the long room. She offered us 3 furniture options, and we picked the one that best matched our style. There was absolutely no pressure, but she did help us move the project forward and saved us time furniture shopping. If we'd tried to do it on our own, it would have taken ages, and we just don't have that kind of time, AND we would have ended up with furniture that would quickly look dated. The look she gave us was midcentury modern, and it goes great with our home. We are extremely happy with the final product and with her reasonable rates. There were no surprise expenses. We understood the costs at every step of the way, and JoJo kept everything within the budget and offered affordable options at every step.”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 27, 2013
    “Nathan was a huge help when we remodeled our home. We had very rough ideas on what we wanted and he was able to draw out plans and exact diagrams that the builders used to redesign our staircase, fireplace and kitchen. I love that the look of my home stands out. I will hire Nathan again for new projects.”

    “Denise has been wonderful to work with! I LOVE how she has redesigned my home. Last year we worked on our living room, dining room, nook and staircase. Right now we are in the middle of remodeling the kitchen. What I appreciate about Denise is that we work as a team. She gets me and my style. We shop together and she shops for me, she knows how to find a deal and stay on budget. She keeps me on track and whittles down the choices for me. She keeps her subs on track and is intricately involved in the details. She knows how to get things done and in a timely manner. She stays involved until the end. It's been a pleasure working with Denise and I highly recommend her.”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 30, 2017
    “Michelle has been helping us decorate our new house since we moved in. She has been great with finding out our personal style, making professional suggestions and bringing our ideas to life. If we were not quiet sure of the look we were going for, she was always good at offering a few options and the results exceeded our expectations. We have asked her to come back and do more!”

    “I hired Anna to help us decorate 4 rooms in our new home (living and adjacent dining room, den, loft). She was a great listener, and fit our needs perfectly. We didn't need a full-service decorator to buy our furniture for us. However, we did need help picking out pieces that would work well together, and stretched us beyond the bland all-neutral palette that was our "comfort zone." We have been very happy with the results, and would recommend her highly!”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 16, 2015
    “We furnished our family room from Ethan Allen furniture's in Tustin. Gina Hacken, who is one of the designers in Tustin, helped us choose the best furniture's, She gave us the best choices for us to choose from, Gina captured our idea for our family room which is warm, cozy and comfortable, and definitely she bought that to us. I remember telling Gina, I need the furniture's that I would love it even after 10 or 15 years when I walk into our family room, I am sure it is going to come true!!! After enjoyed working with Gina, we are in the process of decorating our living room..... I am sure all is going to be perfect as well. I will definitely referrer Gina to anyone.”

    The work of a professional can make all the difference. Whether your home has 10 bedrooms, or your apartment is 800 square feet, it can be tricky to create a cohesive look that is representative of your style. That's where a local Lake Forest 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. Whether you need help creating a functional space plan, rearranging existing pieces, designing the inside of a new home, or simply sourcing amazing furniture and decor, seeking the help of professional home interior designers and house decorators in Lake Forest, CA is a must.



    What does an Lake Forest 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 — 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 Lake Forest 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 home professionals to help create the perfect look for your renovation.


    Do your research before meeting with an interior design contractor or home decorator. 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 interior design firms in Lake Forest 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 Lake Forest 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?

    Find interior designing services on Houzz in Lake Forest, CA. Narrow your search in the Professionals section to find interior designers or home decorators near you. You can also look through photos to find a room you like, then contact the design firm who designed it.


    If you search for Interior Designer near me you'll be sure to find a business that knows about the trends and styles for bathroom, kitchen, or whole house remodels.
