Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 26, 2017
“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!!”
Advanced Home Services
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Santa Monica
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 25, 2019
“Advanced Home Services was one of many companies I reached out to when looking to get my guest room remodeled. They were the only company who was able to redo the room, create a new walk in closet, and brand new bathroom using space from my garage at a really affordable price (a little over $9,500). Working with Amy was excellent, she really listened to everything I said and was able to create something modern and chic. I would work with them again if I needed more remodeling. *edited a typo”
AA Design Firm
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Santa Monica
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 26, 2015
“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.”

Tami Smight Interiors
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Santa Monica
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 29, 2014
“We are currently working on two bathroom renovations Tami designed for us. This is the second time we get to work with her. Previously she designed custom draperies and helped us give our family room an update. Her draperies are gorgeous! Tami is very good at seeing your vision and pulling it together professionally and within budget. She provides a complete visual presentation and notebook to follow for purchasing, contacts, etc with an itemized breakdown of the budget to follow. She makes it very easy for someone like me who kind of knows what she wants but gets overwhelmed trying to make too many decisions. She delivered her designs within the time frame she gave us and her contractor referrals are very good. Tami also has great follow through with the projects. We have also found that her designer discounts from local vendors help cover her reasonable design fees so it is a win win.”
Spazio LA
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Santa Monica
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 13, 2014
“After purchasing our new home we wanted to modernize the house since it was still stuck in the in the 50's. We did not know where to start and after a lot of research we were referred to Spazio La by a friend that did their entire house with them. We didn't know what to expect, after 10 minutes of our first meeting I was in love with their ideas and suggestions to improve the layout and finishes of our new kitchen, master bathroom and guest bathroom. They were very professional and spent almost 4 hours with us showing us their beautiful designs and projects from previous clients. We decided to hire them and we are so happy that we did. They came up with an amazing 3D concept design for each space that we wanted to remodel. They managed the project from the contractor to the finish materials and with the final decoration of the home. Our house looks amazing and our kitchen is, now, huge and has an island to die for. They recommended a Calcutta quartz material that makes the kitchen look like a showpiece from a designer showroom. Our master bathroom is like a high end spa at a five star hotel. We are really thankful to the team from Spazio La for making our home an amazing place for our family.”

“Sharon transformed our home into the sophisticated, coastal retreat that we always wanted, but could never have actualized on our own. Not only does she bring 20+ years of experience in luxury home interior design, but she is a consummate professional with a creative flair, and leaves no detail forgotten. Sharon truly made the process seamless, enjoyable, all while bringing our vision to life... I can’t wait to start our next project together!”

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 Santa Monica 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 Santa Monica, 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 Santa Monica, 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 Monica, 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 Monica, 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 Monica 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 Monica 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?
