Barbara Schwarz Interior Design

Our family did an extensive home remodel this past year, and Barbara was recommended to us to help make designing choices (and overall vision!) easier. She was always helpful, listened to both our wishes and concerns, changed things when our two visions didn't align, and generally made the experience a pleasant one. She sourced excellent appliances, tiles, fixtures and a thousand other things and we couldn't be more pleased with how things turned out. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for expert design help.

I have found Barbara to be extremely knowledgeable with valuable design experience to back up her work. She does an excellent job making sure each space is personal to the client. Her attention to detail shows clearly in her work. When I think of a designer who has the ability of combine warm, modern, and unique elements for a space, I think of Barbara.

Barbara Schwarz designed my nine-year-old daughter's bedroom, turning the small, dull, overcrowded space into a KID'S PARADISE. Her innovative ideas miraculously turned the room into a place my child never wants to leave. The room now has a bright, creative and fun atmosphere with several areas for kids to play, read or hide out. The great thing about Barbara is that she took the time to listen to what my daughter had to say and let that inspire her. Barbara also gave us options, so we were a part of the creative process from start to finish. The results were phenomenal.

Barbara is a designer we have been working with. After seeing Barbaras work, it is very clear that she is a designer who knows what she is doing! We are really impressed not only with her unique attention to detail and design but her organization and professionalism. Barbara is a great designer that we have loved working with!!! We would highly recommend her services for any remodel or design job. -Team Jacoby

We two found ourselves renovating an architecturally designed mid-century modern home. Through our contractor Alan Wedner we found Barbara and we are so glad we did as both our sensibilities were more traditional in scope. In other words we had no love or experience in the modern style. Barbara guided us through every detail which, as we chose along the way became our own style. With Barbara's guidance and patience we were able to combine the eclectic with our new mid-century modern vision to create a beautiful new environment which is now our home. Barbara helped us visualize each space by her beautiful drawings. Her attention to detail is amazing and her transparent billing for items is a big help for those on a budget. She also has great communication skills. We definitely would use Barbara again but I think we are never going to move!

I was the general contractor on several of Barbara's jobs & was very impressed with her design work, coordination & organization of the project & her overall talent working both with the clients & the other trades. She was a pleasure to work with & handled the projects in a very timely & professional manner. I will continue to recommend her to all of my clients who want the very best in an interior designer. Sincerely, Alan Wedner, General Contractor Owner; California Design Team

When an RFQ comes in from Barbara, we know it will have a well-thought out design and it will be attached to a great client. She has gained experience through large firms and her own small business, so she understands process, budgets, and timelines. Her work has a unique voice that reflects her clients wants and needs. She appreciates quality and respects her vendors. She teams up with qualified people and works hard for her clients. If you are looking for a great designer. Hire her!

We hired Barbara to work with us on the remodel design of our patio and kitchen. She helped us to convert our back yard, which consisted of grassy areas and a large fallow garden area to a beautiful outdoor space that includes a patio with complete amenities, "living room" area, dining area, gas grill, heaters, pergola and shades; along with a large garden area with raised beds. We then moved inside where she turned our old claustrophobic dysfunctional kitchen into a fantastic work space that supports all our needs. From the very first meeting with Barbara to the completion, she was a pleasure to work with. She focuses on getting to know the client and designing a space that supports who you are and how you live. We love the work she did for us. I have recommended her to friends or colleagues repeatedly since she did the work for us.
