Featured Reviews for Interior Designers & House Decorators in Malibu

P R O J E C T INTERIOR DESIGN GROUP
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Malibu
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 6, 2023
“Project Interior Design Group, and specifically owner Jeffrey Krueger, has done many projects in the past for me ranging from a home interior design involving my living room, dining room and bedroom to now a major kitchen and bathroom remodel. Jeff has been so patient and knowledgeable with creating the design plans as well as helping me select the best furniture available for my style. I’ve had compliments from friends such as “impressive”, “magnificent” , “elegant” and “stunning”. Currently he’s interfacing with my contractor to make an overwhelming remodel in a high end highrise more bearable and manageable. Jeff is so detail oriented and well rounded with all sorts of projects and communicates well and effectively to get the job done right and efficiently. I would never use any other designer than Jeff and Project Interior Design Group. I’m so satisfied!”

“I have been working with Jennifer from The Old Painted Cottage since 2011. I had been a faithful blog reader (http://theoldpaintedcottage.com/) and admirer of her style for a long time before getting the courage to contact her to see if she would agree to a design consultation to help me revamp my living room. My husband and I had recently moved into a 1960's ranch - that still looked like it was from the 1960s! I was so frustrated with trying to "design" my house on a budget and getting nowhere – I desperately wanted and needed help. I kind of knew what I wanted to do and the styles I admired, but I had no idea whatsoever how to create it on a realistic budget in my own home. I hired Jennifer to teach me how to beautify my living room. And oh boy - I cannot say enough about how absolutely wonderful it was (and has been since then) to work with Jennifer! After sending her the dimensions of my living area and images of living rooms I loved (many of them here on Houzz), we scheduled and had a phone consultation and OH.MY.GOSH! Jennifer's energy, excitement, ability to translate what I wanted to the redesign of my space - and all within my budget - was incredible! One of the most amazing things about Jennifer is that she patiently taught me many interior design secrets that I never knew but have since been able to apply to my whole home (e.g., hanging drapes higher than the top of the window, displaying décor items in threes, adding pops of complementary color, etc.) Needless to say, it is 2014 and Jennifer has let me hire her to design almost every room in my house! Since 2011, I’ve had two babies and she helped me design both nurseries. Jennifer also helped me revamp my master bedroom, TV room, and the sunroom! Currently, we are doing a whole house consult on a little lake cabin my husband and I recently purchased. Overall, Jennifer is a consummate professional, her fees are ridiculously reasonable, and she is able to “get into a space” and transform it simply by looking at before photos. Jennifer is a gem! I could go on and on about Jennifer…(and I hope to meet her in person one day soon!)”

“Lynne has created a warm, exciting and functional showroom space to represent my brand and point of view. I was so happy with her thoroughness, communication skills and cheerful attitude. She took a potentially stressful situation and made it fun and was such a joy to work with! She listened to my needs and came up with unique ideas that I had not even considered! She made and created the light fixture in the attached picture!”

“Not only does Ava and Arlene have impeccable design taste. They will handle everything from the idea phase, to hiring the proper General Contractor, subs, over seeing the entire process and being present at the job site during the work. They did everything from A to Z. They made redecorating my home a simple breeze. From providing me my options and giving me the pros and cons of each option with various cost estimates made it easy for me to make a comfortable informed decision on every step of the process. They are extremely flexible with their service. Their contractors are also professional and very neat. They clean up after every job and make the process very convenient. The outcome turned out better than I expected and I am a very satisfied customer.”

“My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Drew Reusch on the design of our kitchen and dining room, and I cannot express enough how thrilled we are with the outcome. Drew's commitment to understanding our vision and translating it into a perfect reality truly sets him apart. From our very first meeting, Drew exhibited a remarkable talent for not just hearing, but truly understanding our desires and aspirations for the space. His ability to seamlessly weave our ideas into the design process resulted in a home that feels uniquely tailored to our preferences. Drew's collaborative approach made the entire experience not only enjoyable, but also stress-free. His dedication to creating a warm and inviting atmosphere was evident in the meticulous attention he paid to every detail. The multiple samples and visual layouts he provided allowed us to explore various options, ultimately leading to choices that showcase the ambiance we had envisioned. What sets Drew apart is not only his design expertise, but also his unwavering commitment to client satisfaction. Any concerns or queries we had were met with prompt and thoughtful responses. Drew's ability to address any apprehensions and present alternative options underscored his commitment to ensuring that the final design was a true reflection of our style and preferences. Drew's efficiency and dedication to the project were remarkable. He worked quickly without compromising the quality of the design, resulting in a kitchen and dining room that exceeded our expectations. The transformed space is now something we can't wait to share with guests, and we're confident that it will leave a lasting impression. Drew is not only a talented designer, but also a consummate professional who goes the extra mile to ensure his clients are satisfied. He has a way of not only capturing your vision, but enhancing it with a warmth and charm that makes your home truly inviting. I wholeheartedly recommend Drew to anyone seeking a designer who brings not only creativity, but also a genuine passion for creating spaces that feel like home. Working with him was such a positive experience, and I'm grateful for the beautiful, functional spaces he created for us.”

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 Malibu, 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 Malibu, 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 Malibu, 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 Malibu 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 Malibu 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?
