Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 23, 2015
“We started with just a kitchen remodel-to take down a wall and open things up. Mike came in with such a vision!! We ended up opening up another wall to make the entire kitchen, living, dining area look bigger and totally fabulous!! The old furniture went out. Mike helped us pick out some spectacular pieces that look awesome in our remodeled areas. He worked with the art work we wanted to accent and made it pop. We absolutely love the end result!!”
Jessica Reynaud Design
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Santa Maria
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 29, 2023
“Jessica is a phenomenal designer. We've been working with her for months now on our whole home renovation, and I honestly can't believe how lucky we were to find her. She isn't just a skilled interior designer; she also has an incredible eye and exceptionally good taste. Every step of the design process, we've been blown away with what she's brought to the table. She took our home's very quirky layout as well as our vague ideas about what we wanted, and somehow managed to come up with a cohesive, functional, and absolutely beautiful design that perfectly encapsulated all our hopes and dreams. Her design aesthetic has range and flexibility while also being truly timeless, and she's meticulous in her work, thinking deeply about both form and function. But beyond her design abilities, her professionalism has also been stellar. Working with her has honestly been the easiest part of this entire design process. When you take on a big project like a renovation, it can be really nerve-wracking, but we would 100% do it all over again with Jessica. I cannot possibly recommend her enough.”

Nanci Paige Design
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Santa Maria
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 29, 2014
“We had Nanci Paige Designs do three projects for us. The first was a complete re-modeling of one of our aesthetic medical practices. She transformed a dungy, cluttered mess into a sleek, modern and attractive facility that continues to produce the desired results for the staff and, even more importantly, for the patients. The goal for the re-model was to create a very upscale office and, at the same time, help the patients relax and know they're in very good hands. The relaxing part is seen when every new patient forgets about their fears and begins to share what they'd like to accomplish with their appearance. The upscale goal was realized when a long time patient walked into the new office and said, "I guess you're going to be raising your prices with the way this place looks!" We then had her to an interior design job with a our mid-century modern home in Palm Springs. She transformed that house into a modern and warm home with vibrant colors and sleek furnishings all balanced with well placed natural wood accent pieces. She accomplished both of our goals of having an updated version of mid-century modern furnishings to complete the home and create a cool and relaxing environment. Accomplishing just one of the goals would have been difficult to do, achieving both goals achieved the next-to-impossible task. Finally we had her design the remodeling of our spa and salon business interiors interior in Palm Springs. Again, the magic happened the space was transformed in color and furnishings that improved the presentation for clients and supported price increases for the services. Two more medical practices are going on the drawing boards and a new home design project is going into her capable and talented hands. She always takes the project way past our imagination and puts it where it really should have been from the beginning.”

“Absolutely my highest recommendation. Creative Spaces helped us flesh out our vision, install beautiful and functional pieces, and provide a beautiful and functional space for our students.

She was flexible, friendly and easy to work with, yet persistent and meticulous to ensure the job was done to the highest quality at the lowest cost. The end result far exceeded our expectations.”

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 Santa Maria, 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 Santa Maria, 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 Santa Maria, 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 Santa Maria 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 Santa Maria 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?
