Lighting Designers in Welcome

“Patti Allen and Stephanie James are the best in the business. Not only do they both have impeccable taste and style, but they are honest and willing to work extremely hard and long hours to create exactly what you want in your home from floor to ceiling. I've worked with many designers before and I've never had a better experience than I did with Allen & James Interior Design. My home is in San Francisco, California and I was working with a limited budget and short timeline. Patti and Stephanie were able to meet all of my needs without a single hitch. They operate out of the largest retail furniture store in the United States so you know they are getting the best prices and furnishing options. I recommend their services 100% and will use them anytime I need ANYTHING for my home.”

“Maggie is incredible to work with! She puts you instantly at ease with her warmth and truly takes so much stress out of renovating or building. She is incredibly talented at sourcing and bringing your dream to life. She is so creative and very professional. Would absolutely recommend!!!”

“Michelle is amazing to work with. She was able to create a home for me that was welcoming and stylish, fun and relative with trends. Her sense of making the best choices in whatever space you have made all the difference. The gasps when people walk in puts a smile on my face and makes the entire renovation worthwhile”

“As a photographer, I have seen multiple examples of Anna's design work and I think that she is first rate and gives excellent value to her clients. Her sense of style is consistent in each of the settings that I have seen of her work.”

“June has helped me with multiple projects. At our former house, she did a complete (and beautiful!) makeover of our master bedroom and a few changes (sofa, chair and mantel accessories) for our family room. When we decided to move and build a house in Charlotte, she helped us select paint colors, cabinet finishes and granite. When we were not able to find a vanity for our powder bath, she worked with a cabinet maker to design and custom build the perfect piece. She has also helped us with shutters. She is very talented. She and her team are a pleasure to work with. Her store is a treasure of beautiful pieces - but if she doesn't have it there, she'll find it for you. I will continue to rely on her expertise even though we are not as close as we once were.”

“So glad I hired Melissa to help me redecorate my family room and basement. Melissa is a talented designer who knows what is on trend, but also has a keen eye for classic pieces you will love for years to come. She is very professional, efficient and stays on budget while also knowing where to splurge and where to save. She looks for the best price for items while also prioritizing comfort and quality. Melissa keeps the process moving forward and got everything ordered and delivered on schedule. She has a great group of subcontractors she works with and expertly oversees their timelines and work quality. My only disappointment was that when she was finished, I wanted her to redecorate the whole house! I highly recommend Melissa's services and look forward to using her again soon!”

“We have used Purple Bike for several design projects in our home and have loved the results. Though our budget for each has been relatively small, the design team delivered spaces that incorporated our personal style, introduced design elements we would not have thought of, and captured the overall feel we were hoping for. Dana and Clayton are a pleasure to work with and have made furnishing and designing our first home so much fun!”

“I needed help with some paint color decisions for my master bedroom/bathroom. Julia came to my home armed with lots of paint swatches for me to review. I believe she and I have narrowed down the colors I need. It was good to have another "pair of eyes" so as to come to some good conclusions. Thank you Julia.”

“I would give Barb Lipe of Watermark Interiors 10 stars if that was an option!! Not only can I attest to Barb's amazing creativity, ease to work with, and all around professionalism, a host of many women who come through our offices would agree that she is a highly skilled and gifted designer -- even if they don't know her name. As the Executive Director of a non-profit counseling ministry for women, my vision was to create a space for our clients that was sacred -- beautifully decorated, warm, safe, and inviting. I called on Barb to help me and she was wonderful. We have been in this location for 5 years and still I get asked who did the decorating. I've also worked with Barb personally at my home. Because I'm the director of a non-profit (meaning limited budget), she was willing to work with me in a way that I could afford a professional decorator. I would tell her exactly how much time I could afford and she did everything possible to maximize that time and give me the most and best of her for my money. Not only is she creative and very good at what she does, she is also just plain FUN. A wise, beautiful, genuine woman -- no pretenses whatsoever. You could never go wrong hiring Barb Lipe of Watermark Interiors for your design needs!!”

“I was referred to Sandy by a friend who recently had interior house work done. I was looking for assistance with creating a comfortable space in my house (downstairs and upstairs). We focused only on the downstairs, so we could stay laser focused on one area of the house before moving upstairs. Sandy was easy to work with and really listened to what vibe I was looking to create in my home. Our first session was spent collaborating on what I wanted to create, while she provided input based on her wealth of experience. Once we agreed on a plan, Sandy and I collaborated on specifics for the space ranging from paint rugs, couches, end tables, coffee tables chairs, kitchen table, lamps, chandeliers and other lighting, art work, and finishing items to really bring the space together. Although she was the one with many of the ideas, her patience allowed me time to process, and in turn those ideas became my own. In a few short sessions, my downstairs transformed into the space I always envisioned and I could not have done it without Sandy and the experience she brings to the table. Phase 2 is for me to leverage Sandy to transform my upstairs which includes a master, guest, and my two daughter's bedrooms. If you are looking for an honest, patient, knowledgeable resource to help with your interior design, look no further. Sandy is the real deal.”
