We hired Hellen to do a complete remodel of our kitchen. The job was extensive since it required taking down a wall, installing new appliances, new pantry, and moving the location of the sink. Hellen and her staff were exceptional. She has a knack for quickly recognizing the customer's taste and requirements and the result is a kitchen that we absolutely love. Hellen is excellent with her follow-through and was always available to help us figure out the minutiae. She suggested names of contractors and insisted that we hire them after an interview. This was helpful since we had no prior experience with remodeling. We ended up choosing one of her suggestions and it all worked out very well.

We are very happy to have Hellen and her team helped us with our remodeling project. Hellen listens to our ideas and identified our style then added her artistic design to make the house uniquely ours. We particularly loved all the lighting that Hellen has added to our house making the house feel so much larger yet warm and welcoming. We look forward to enjoying the house for many years to come.

I worked with Hellen and Majo to design the remodel of the master bathroom of my condominium in Sunnyvale. They were very helpful in suggesting things I hadn't considered, like turning my French doors into a pocket door to save space. They also suggested brands and suppliers I had not found by on-line searches, which led me to a custom vanity and far more interesting fixtures than I would have found on my own. The most important thing they did for me was to prepare all the drawings and information I needed to get a permit from the city on the first try. They are very responsive and easy to work with, as well. I highly recommend Design Loft!

We had a great experience working with Hellen and her team at Design Loft on our new construction project. Hellen optimized the floor plans for kitchen and bathrooms, and helped us on various design elements and features of the new space. We were impressed with Hellen’s creativity and eye for detail. She was able to understand our requirements and work with the constraints of our plan to recommend creative solutions. Her flexible and collaborative work style makes it easy to work with her. She always got back to us promptly on deliverables and questions. It has been a pleasure working with Hellen and her team, and we highly recommend her for interior design.

Hellen and her team were instrumental in the wonderful make over of our first floor living space that included a complete kitchen re-do and an update to our family room and half bath. Her sense of color, style, and functionality were so welcome with her casual, thoughtful style. She is not dogmatic like so many design firms, but rather is excellent at listening, asking really good questions about wants vs. needs, and making suggestions for changes that are not readily apparent. Without question, some of the best features of our remodel were ideas from her that we had not even considered. And, of course, Hellen and colleague Karen are so incredibly nice (and funny!), it makes working with them a joy. We could not be happier with the result.

We are 100% satisfied with Hellen's services. We hired her team to choose furnishings for our new home and to design a new fireplace design that would work for our needs. Hellen and team came up with a great floorplan design and recommended furniture pieces that achieved the modern style we were looking for. Thank you Hellen for transforming our home into such a beautiful and welcoming place!

Our remodeling and redecorating project was modest and we had no previous experience with an interior designer. Houzz helped us narrow our choices to designers whose work fit our constraints, and Design Loft was our top choice. We have been absolutely thrilled with Hellen’s work throughout, from room layout to paint colors to maximizing the impact of our existing furnishings and finally selecting and buying new pieces. Throughout all, Hellen quickly understood “what we meant” as opposed to “what we said”, and the results have far exceeded our expectations. We now truly enjoy the rooms of our house that Hellen has touched. She has been true to our budget, time frames, and styles, although her work can get busy with other projects at times. We have no hesitation giving Design Loft our highest recommendation.

I'm glad to work with Hellen to continue my home remodeling which was started off without any designer because of the misleading contractor who supposed to provide the design services. After fired my 1st contractor in the middle of the project, I had to basically restart the whole process. Hellen took over the chaos. She is easy to work with and is able to ensure what is necessary in order to minimize any additional cost. She listens and understands our needs. I can't wait to see the final completion of the remodeling in 2017.

We worked with Hellen on our kitchen remodel project recently. We found Hellen to be very flexible and willing to listen patiently to our style and preferences. She adopted her design to our requirements very well. Her ability to understand her customers and calm demeanor makes her a very good designer to work with. We will highly recommend her.

Hellen is helping us design a whole house remodel + addition. She is knowledgeable in her craft and personable. She is both considerate of our needs and wants, and willing to provide suggestions and recommendations.
She has been patient with us with our timeline, helped us to understand the remodeling process, and connected us with professionals to gain more expertise.
Hellen is considerate of our time, punctual, and working with her is a pleasure. I strongly recommend her and Design Loft.
