Artistic Designs for Living, Tineke Triggs

Even though I wasn’t a client, Ms. Triggs was kind enough to share information on colors she used in one of her projects. I thought that was so nice of her. Her projects are beautiful and if you haven’t yet, stroll through those pictures and find inspiration to help make your home gorgeous! Thanks Tineke!

I love how my house turned out. We are having such a good time in it. Tineke did a particularly amazing job with the bathroom materials (tile, etc) and with styling the house using our own collection of artifacts and art. Overall, she was able to take my ideas and make them better than I could have hoped for. Everything looks great. Even where she encouraged me to go out of my comfort zone, I love the result.

Tineke Triggs and ADL were outstanding to work with on all fronts. Tineke has a fantastic eye and is so easy to work with. She is an absolute pleasure and a total professional. We loved what she created for us and enjoyed being a part of the process. The whole team at ADL is amazing. We loved the experience of working with Tineke and her team. We have been delighted with the outcome of the project.

I have worked with Artistic Designs for Living on three full house remodels and would highly recommend the firm. Our most recent project was a full house remodel that included a kitchen, family room, living room, dining room, office, gym/playroom, movie room, 4 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. ADL was really good and listening to our wants and needs while helping us to push beyond our comfort zone. They really understood our lifestyle (3 kids and lots of entertaining) and helped us select materials and fabrics that would hold up for many years. We can honestly say that we still love the choices that ADL selected 5 years after our remodel. ADL really focused on keeping us on budget AND on schedule which was really important to us since we were dying to get into the house before the school year started. We would definitely work with ADL again!

Tineke not only has impeccable style herself, but she truly understands the wishes and vision of her clients to help bring their homes to life. I loved how she encouraged us to venture outside our normal comfort zone, which resulted in a more creative, dynamic interior. Friendly, trustworthy and tireless at her work as well, she made me a believer in the full value of a designer's offerings.

Tineke is incredible! She designed all of the main public rooms of our large house in Marin - living room, family room, eat-in kitchen, dining room, entry foyer, front porch - and did a superb job. I couldn't be happier. She is very, very talented, with a great eye for palette, texture, layout and flow. Her style - with us at least - was a blend of hip, sophisticated, earthy and playful that was just perfect. Tineke took the time to really get to know our family and it's personality. We're artsy and super-casual, and wanted the design to reflect that - and it did. At many points we weren't sure what exactly we wanted - just the "feel" - and she guided us gently and well, presenting lots of good ideas and going from there. She was respectful of our budget and never tried to upsell us - in fact, she got us some pretty incredible deals ($75 for a large vintage clock face? Wow.) Her sourcing was very broad, ranging from Crate and Barrel basics to high-end custom pieces to flea market treasures. A perfect balance for budget, comfort and aesthetics. Her schedule was realistic, and she was in close touch every step of the way. She's a real pro, and very easy to work with. On top of all this, Tineke is simply a lovely person. She's warm, funny, down-to-earth, and super-sweet. We became friends over this process, which doesn't always happen :) Clearly, I HIGHLY recommend Tineke and her wonderful team at Artistic Design for Living!

Tineke is a seasoned professional with an amazing visual-spacial gift. She can visualize a space, see how it will work successfully for a family and execute the plan. She is decisive and has the best taste. I would definitely hire her again.

Tineke has a great design aesthetic and creates a design that fits the space. She designed my bathroom and kitchen. Both feel light, airy and the function extremely well.

I am a location scout in the SF Bay Area for the Pottery Barn catalogs and every season I check out Houzz to see what new and beautiful project Tineke has done. I just gave her a call while on her Houzz page and realized I should be writing a review for this wonderful woman! I call on occasion because her work is so beautiful and her color choices really move me. I think Tineke is one of my favorite interior designers and I work with many. I have had a telephone relationship with her for 7 or 8 years as I call her in hopes of scouting her clients homes for photo shoots. She has always been welcoming and kind. I finally saw her in person at an event several months ago and it was clear that the fun and warm personality that shows in her work permeates from her. Tineke is lovely and I was greeted with a great smile. Every home I've been in of hers has been impeccable and gorgeous.

Tineke immediately was able to adopt our aesthetic and help us make good decisions for our home rebuild. She knew aesthetics as well as function and helped refine our plans and optimize the use of our space. Her team was expedient and responsive. Very happy with her help and would definitely use her again.

Good job. nice people. Made you feel comfortable. Professional atmosphere. I walked in and they did not pressure me into any purchases. Just looked and browsed and had my questions answered.

I hired Artistic Designs for Living for furniture & fixture design after seeing house after house that they worked on. I knew long before I was ready to hire them that they would be my eventual Design team. After the initial meeting at my construction site with Tineke and her Senior Designer, they immediately sent me a low-medium-high estimate for furnishing each room. The estimate was within the price range we discussed and we started work very quickly. I pretty much worked exclusively with a Senior Designer and her admin team. I could NOT have been happier with the level of service she and the admin team provided. It seemed that everything she suggested I loved because she learned my style very early on. They were all very responsive to my calls and emails. I don't think I ever waited longer than one day to hear back. I highly recommend Artistic Designs for Living and I will hire them again for a few remaining projects.
