Amy Snow Interior Design

Amy is a very good listener. She is not into what she thinks you want but listens to what you want. She is very knowledgeable and talented. She was always on time and very professional and willing to do extra for me. I would definitely recommend Amy to my family and friends.

My husband and I downsized from one home in the foothills to another — one which was similarly blessed with wonderful views as well as having a great floor plan. But it was a 27-year old home that had not been redone during that time, so the remodel project was a big one that took six months to complete. I knew that I would need some professional help with decorating. Our designer at Strite design + remodel gave me the names of two local interior designers that they and their clients had consistent success in working with, and that was how I got to know Amy Snow. I interviewed her first, and I felt so right about her based on that initial meeting that I didn’t bother to interview the other person that was recommended. I didn’t really know what I wanted. One of the things I loved about our previous home, which was designed by a devotee of Frank Lloyd Wright, was not only its views, but its excellent natural light. Our new home also had great natural light, and I wanted color and accents that would take advantage of this as well as compliment the antique family furniture we wanted to incorporate. Our new home was basically gutted by the remodel, which completely changed the look of it. Amy worked with me to select primary and accent colors for our walls, and found an upholsterer to create new furniture coverings that tied our existing pieces together with the new ones we’d picked out. We replaced bathroom fixtures, kitchen appliances, and added lighting. Together we also selected new carpets and countertops, as well as pillows and fun accent pieces. Amy even helped incorporate my husband’s hunting trophies into the design of his study. In addition to her sense of design and ability to understand what I wanted, Amy’s advice was particularly helpful when it came to lighting, both inside and out. Her research capabilities when considering different lighting options also helped us stay within a comfortable price range throughout our remodel. Collaborating with Amy was like having a friend helping you…and both my husband and I miss seeing her as often as we used to, now that we’ve finished the interior design. We love our new home, and so does our family…and we love the compliments we get from people when they first step inside it. If you ask why I’d recommend Amy to anyone I know, the first reason I would give is that she is very talented. Another reason is that she understands architecture and how things are engineered, which makes her very comfortable working alongside the remodel team. She has a great sense of color and design, but one of the most important things about her as a design partner is that she is easy to work with and quickly gets a feel for what a person wants and how they want it to feel — and thanks to Amy, my husband and I love how our home feels.

I have worked with Amy for approximately 5 years, assisting her and her clients to make plumbing selections. She is always professional and allows the customer wants/needs determine the selections. She has an overall vision for the end result and guides the clients decisions without persuasion. She is very knowledgeable in many aspects of design and her clients always rave about their experience with Amy to me.

I have remodeled several homes by myself in California when I was married. When I moved up to Idaho, I bought a home that was built in 2002 and I decided to remodel it. After research and interviewing several contractors, I hired STRITE Design and Remodel. STRITE came highly recommended; they referred AMY SNOW INTERIOR DESIGN and I am very happy they did. Amy is not only a very nice and down to earth person but, as a designer, she listened to what I was striving for and delivered. Her help in selecting paint colors, the hardware for the kitchen / bedrooms / bathrooms, some of the lighting (since I had already bought several pendants and two large chandeliers from Restoration Hardware), rugs for my solid wood floors, the wood inlay that was inserted inside front entry, material for reupholstering the furniture I already had, new furniture and tile/marble for the kitchen/bathrooms was invaluable. I might be missing something, but her handwork and suggestions are imprinted all over my home. There were several specific examples where she really made a difference on my home remodel. The first example was communication: she returned all communication in a timely manner. Getting samples of material/rugs/etc for me to see/touch was the second example that left a huge imprint on my project. A third example was she would meet me at various industry venues/shops/stores to show me what was out there to choose from. The fourth difference she made involved HOMEWORK. :-) This homework was very new to me, but really impacted how I choose paint colors. It involved going to the Dollar Store, purchasing 22"x28" white picture board type paper and painting them the color I was thinking about using. I then would place them against the walls so I could see what they looked like during the different times of the day. Sounds silly...but, it made a tremendous difference. The Benjamin Moore paint shop here in Boise gives you 12"x12" paint samples already done (which I did use), but the bigger board was much more helpful to me. Amy kept in the budget I set. Also, she was always on time for scheduled appointments. Her communication was effective: text, email, phone. I would highly recommend AMY SNOW for any project that you need interior design help. She really was a joy to work with. I just bought a house in Caldwell that I am going to turn into an Airbnb. I plan on asking her to help me with that project, too. I would include pictures, but I had to rewrite this because I messed up downloading pictures for this evaluation and lost what I wrote before. So...no pictures to share. Maybe Amy can include some on her site. I had a great remodel experience! Thank you Amy. :-)

I had the pleasure of working with Amy on a bathroom remodel. She came highly recommended to me by a friend.. It was a pleasure to work with Amy.... I was not disappointed. She is very knowledgeable about building materials ... what is current and what works! Amy is very easy to work with.... she really knows her stuff. We were able to pick out tile, bathroom fixtures, shower and counter tops etc in a short period of time. It would have taken me days .... what we accomplished in a couple of hrs! Amy then coordinated with my builder... everything was completed in a timely fashion and her price tag was extremely fair! I can't say enough praises about Amy!

Amy understood my vision very quickly, and in addition to having a great eye she was able to balance my changing attitude toward things — both when I wanted to be very particular, and when I preferred that she make a decision rather than having to spend time on something myself.

Amy designed two projects at my house. She did a playroom for my daughter and a home office and dance studio. I have loved both spaces. Amy did a great job finding beautiful and affordable furniture and all the right accent pieces. She thought of every detail. I was really impressed with how she was able to do the complete process, from design to furniture selection, through installation. You will love working with Amy and with the final result!

For many years my wife and I had ideas of what we wanted our home to look like but had no idea how to make it all come together. Amy listened very carefully as far as what we were trying to accomplish for home decor and design. She took our thoughts and coupled them with her impressive education, background and an amazing sense of color and proportion to give our home a look and feel we love and are most proud to share with friends and neighbors. She has earned our lasting gratitude. Milt and Kim Williams
