Interior Designers & House Decorators in San Rafael
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 1, 2012
“I work with Yami Arvelo of MOONES Home to design, remodel and stage my high end real estate listings for sale in Marin County. She is an amazing designer and very professional. She understands how spaces should be designed and what products should be selected for maximum impact. My listings sell every time with Yami's designs. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to remodel their home and anyone needing her staging services.”

Benjamin Dhong Interiors
Interior Designers & House Decorators in San Rafael
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 12, 2015
“I have collaborated with Ben on various projects over the years and highly recommend his services. In his spaces, one is instantly transported into a magical world filled with grace, beauty, simplicity, and taste. It is no wonder he is a highly published and sought after designer! Layers, colors, textures, patterns, and details meld together in his work, into one glorious ensemble which will delight and soothe your senses for years to come. It is rare to find a designer who can so expertly combine seemingly disparate elements into one unified form. He weaves together classicism with modernity, playfulness with serenity, clarity with comfort, and luxury with restraint in a way that is so effortless these individually opposing elements seem made for each other in the end result. In addition, he knows how to manage client expectations very well, is highly responsive, and attentive. To top it off, working with him is a true joy! There is no pretense with Ben. Warmth, accessibility, and charm, humor, wit, and levity are his defining characteristics, making the process fun. You will not only enjoy your home when it is all said and done, you will enjoy the process of creating it as well!”

MAS Design
Interior Designers & House Decorators in San Rafael
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 12, 2012
“We recently finished a remodel of our mid-century kitchen and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results. Tony and Dawn are amazing and their eye for design is impeccable...what I was most impressed with was how detailed they were and that they listened to our needs. We wanted a kitchen that looked great but was also functional, and they delivered! My wife and I both work, so it was important to us to know that they were there to handle all the small details and be on site to work with contractors, handymen, etc. No doubt, remodeling a kitchen is stressful but Tony and Dawn were so accommodating and made the project much easier than it would have been otherwise. The final photo shoot was bittersweet -- everything looked amazing but we were a little sad the project was over since working with Tony and Dawn was such a pleasure. I can't recommend them highly enough. Check out the photos of the Chevron marble back splash in the Yelp photo album toward the end and also on their website.”
Jennifer Messina Interiors
Interior Designers & House Decorators in San Rafael
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 6, 2019
“Very generous designer who made my tiny rental feel spacious and bright! So grateful for Jenn’s excellent list of recommendations she offered me within 24 hours after seeing my home. She helped me realize that my space doesn’t have to be or feel small by changing a few simple things such as, painting the interior, raising all the curtain rods to make my ceiling feel higher, layer cowhides on the cold tiled floor, moved my paintings around that made more sense to view, helped me find beautiful decorative pillows, dining table and chairs, and the most comfy modern chair and ottoman we all fight over to sit in and most importantly she suggested many choices to choose from to change out all the old dated light fixtures. I learned that investing in great curtains, sconces to lamp shades would be worth the investment since I can take them with me if and when I ever move. My home now feels spacious, fun and festive to visit and a whole lot bigger and brighter because I used every single one of Jenn’s innovative ideas. Loved her smart suggestions and felt she respected my small budget and made it work besides making my cozy place a place all my friends and family love to visit. I highly recommend Dreamlife Designs, your dreams will definitely come true if you choose to work with Jenn and her team. Mary A. (Mill Valley, Ca.)”

Noz Design
Interior Designers & House Decorators in San Rafael
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 12, 2014
“I worked with Noz on the updating of my bathrooms; installing quartz counter tops, faucets, sinks, hardware, lighting and re staining cabinetry. Noz makes the job" All About You" and not her (which, sorry I have found this a problem with previous designers) You quickly feel comfortable as it is immediately evident that she is very knowledgeable and experienced and wants the project to reflect you and your home. Noz made it a top priority to meet deadlines and respected my budget. An example of how she put me at ease was , the day the painter came to refinish the vanity cabinets the stain wasn't right. Noz was on vacation, hiking in Oregon. I text ed her a picture and she immediately took the time to view and get back to me with a solution. This was not an easy task as she was having a hard time finding a signal in the mountains. I highly recommend her and I am planning on using her services again in the very near future.”

“Marissa’s design choices exhibit a perfect blend of sophistication and functionality. She has a great eye for detail and creates spaces that are not only beautiful, but also practical. Her use of colors and textures reflects her versatility, catering to our specific tastes. Overall, Marissa’s work showcases a mastery of design that transformed our home into a personalized and visually stunning environment.”
Kelly Scanlon Interior Design

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 4, 2013
“Kelly helped us convert the living space of our generic 1950's rancher into a beautiful space that we love to entertain in and is also very comfortable for our family to enjoy. She has the perfect blend of classic and contemporary, but most importantly, she really listens to her clients and builds a design and aesthetic for each individual client. I definitely hope to work with Kelly again in the future.”

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 San Rafael 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 San Rafael, CA is a must.

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 San Rafael, 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 San Rafael, 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 San Rafael, 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 San Rafael 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 San Rafael 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?
