Milana Designs
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Palo Alto
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 15, 2022
“Milana was helping us redesign our Master Bathroom when we discovered she had designed our favorite bathroom at the SF Decorator Showcase. We were so thrilled with her sleek design of our bathroom that we asked her to help us with our downstairs powder room. Extremely knowledgeable and with a sharp eye, Milana works hard to give her clients what they need and goes above and beyond. She is wonderful to work with; even the fabricator we're working with sings her praises, as do we!”

“Our journey with RH Design & Construction began with the vision of a first-floor 350 sqft addition to our Redwood City home, and what a journey it was! Roni and her team not only delivered on their promise of an amazing addition ahead of time but also imbued our home with a sense of style and spaciousness we hadn't imagined possible. Their thoughtful selection of materials and finishes elevated the entire project. Roni's personal touch and regular updates made the process enjoyable and engaging.

We were impressed with how she worked with vendors and contractors, taking control of the project in a professional manner. She understands what the client wants while at the same time offers valuable opinions. Our project was completed without a hitch and we could not be happier. I'd definitely recommend Kerstin for any design project.”

“Regan Baker is really great to work with. She not only had a ton of great and creative ideas, but she also took the time to get to know me and my family to truly understand our needs and wishes. For every project we worked on together, she presented me with 3-4 options and continued to iterate until I was 100% satisfied. She always took the time to answer all of my questions, brainstorm additional ideas, and simply to check in. Regan is extremely professional, always on time, and very flexible. Additionally, Regan worked very well with other professionals working on our home. She got along with everyone and really helped me manage some complex aspects of our project. Our new dining/kitchen/family room looks beautiful and unique and is very functional due to the work we did together. ”

“My entire experience with Monica was great. She was organized, talented (she has an amazing eye), timely, priced very fairly, and most of all, she really listened to my ideas and helped me to figure out my "vision" for decorating my house. She had so many great ideas to offer. Normally I would not take the time to write a review of someone but I was just so impressed with Monica that I wanted to do so.”

“If I could give Sandra 1000 stars, I would!!! She is Amazing!!! We had never imagined how fabulous our home could be until Sandra brought the vision and the talent!! The incredible transformation all came together in good time and within budget. Sandra helped us to focus our time, money and energy on the things that truly made a difference in getting our home market-ready and bringing in top dollar. Everyone who saw our home loved it!! We had several offers on our home before it even came on the market. We owe it all to Sandra!! As if that weren't enough, Sandra is the sweetest, most caring person whom we could have ever asked for. She always took the time to hear our input and concerns. With all the stress that goes into selling a home, she always helped to put our minds at ease.

Design Loft Company
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Palo Alto
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 1, 2012
“We hired Hellen Hsieh, the owner of Design Loft Company, to design our 725 sq ft great room addition. We are so incredibly thrilled with the completed project, it is exactly what we had envisioned. Our existing house was a 1200 sq ft 3 bedroom, 2 bath home. The kitchen and living area was very modest. With two teenagers at home, we needed to expand and wanted more room to entertain. When we started the project we were uncertain if we should knock down walls and remodel the current floor plan and add a small addition or keep the footprint of the existing house exactly the same and add on one large great room. We decided to do the later, however, to get to this point, we went through several different renderings. Hellen provided us with many great options and helped us decide what would be the most economical and feasible plan. She was flexible, patient and was great about pointing out the pros and cons of each option. Her interactions with our architect , contractor and cabinet supplier went very smoothly which helped us to meet specific deadlines. Hellen was maticulous when it came to the kitchen cabinets and made sure everything was ordered properly and our custom stain came out exactly how we wanted. As a designer, she is very creative and knowledgeable. She understood the style and feel we were after. More importantly she was very conscious and respectful of our monetary constraints which helped us complete our entire project within budget. What impressed us most was her understanding of the build process: from the contractors needs, the city requirements, realistic costs and time estimates, appliance installation prerequisites and inspection requirements. We couldn't be more pleased with Design Loft and Hellen's professionalism.”

That's where a local Palo Alto 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.

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 Palo Alto, 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 Palo Alto, 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 Palo Alto, 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 Palo Alto 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 Palo Alto 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?
