Design Consultants in Torrance

“Ray Dortenzo came to my aid when my original contractor reneged on a remodeling project and left my house In shambles. Ray Found me a new contractor and managed all construction while I was at work. He saw that the shoddy work done previously was corrected and the new work was done neatly and professionally. Ray helped me make all the design decisions necessary in remodeling two floors of my home. His sense of color and style pushed my project from nice to fantastic His inside knowledge of local buying sources and talented craftsmen resulted in an upscale finish to my home at considerable savings. Ray's professional expertise saved me much more than his very reasonable fee. I highly recommend a consultation with Mr Dortenzo before you make your decision to re-do.”

“KLarkin Interiors was awesome! I had A LOT of stained trim throughout my home - baseboards, crown, chair rail, window trim, fireplace surround, French doors, front door & staircase - and finally decided that it was way too much and needed toned down considerably. Karen & I combed through color combinations together and she helped me select the perfect trim and wall color combination that works for my home. We also walked through all of my rooms and planned exactly what was to be painted and what should be left stained. She also walked me through the process of making sure that these colors complimented all of my features that were staying - like my kitchen cabinets, granite & tile floor. Together we came up with the perfect combination that I carried throughout my first & second floors. She coordinated the painters and followed up consistently on their work to ensure outstanding workmanship. When I decided that my fireplace tile surround had to be updated we decided on a new surround and she coordinated the tiler to come and replace my tile. Any time I was doubting my decisions Karen was always there to provide support and reinforced that our vision would come to fruition. She has an excellent eye for detail and expects the highest quality results from her contractors. I can't say enough about the positive experience I had working with her! My home is fresh and updated with just the perfect amount of painted and stained wood and my family and I absolutely love it! I would highly recommend KLarkin Interiors for any of your home projects!”

“Katelyn turned my home office dreams into a reality. She was so thoughtful and intentional with all of the design elements. I felt so many personal touches every step of the way. She was amazing to work with, professional and down to earth! Already looking forward to our next project together!”

“Steve designed and decorated a new kitchen and family room area and new master bath for our home. The results are amazing. He has a great eye for color and detail, pays attention to budgeting, stays on schedule and communicates project information between suppliers and owners efficiently. We were not on the premises for the renovation of our master bath and Steve oversaw the whole process for us, kept us posted and everything was completed on schedule. Couldn't be happier working with anyone.”

“Amy contacted my company Artisan Custom Woodwork, to build some kitchen cabinets for a client who was replacing a few older appliances, and re-arranging the kitchen. Amy is very knowledgeable about the way a kitchen should flow and function and she knew exactly how to achieve that with minimal cost to the client. Very easy to work with and open to suggestions, but also focused on details and ensuring the end result is exactly what the client envisions.”

We highly recommend her. ~Greg and Sandy”
