Erin Ellwood Design

When we bought our home, we did not have a designer in mind.. didn’t even really know what we wanted, but knew what we didn’t want. Working with Erin has been the best working relationship we have ever experienced with a designer. She is collaborative with our contractor and our landscape designer, and most importantly with us. Erin brings vision and helps guide us. She’s fabulous and has created a home we love!!! Erin is a total professional!!!

There is no one better than Erin. Her attention to detail, price and satisfaction was just what we needed. She comes in on time, under budget and we got exactly what we asked her for. We’re picky and she honed right into our aesthetic and design/detail. We highly recommend.

Where to even start?! Erin is obviously a beyond talented interior designer. She breathes life and imagination into all the projects she touches but the thing I love about her best is that it is pure joy just to be around her. I am so grateful to have worked in collaboration with her on not 1 but 2 projects this year and hopefully more in the future. As an interior designer myself it is so important to have a supportive and inspiring community around you. Erin is so gifted and I have learned so much from her both as a designer and human being. I immensely value our friendship and brilliant way of viewing color and texture, her determination and patience. I could never say enough amazing things about her! You would be insane to not want to work with her.

I have had the good fortune to work with Erin professionally, and she consistently brings my two favorite things to the team: fun and creativity. She has such a great eye, is confident in her choices and just a pleasure to work with. She also recently obliged me in joining my class of Interior Architecture students as a guest speaker. The students really responded to her life experience and words of wisdom. I would highly recommend her to any team.

I hired Erin to help design the facade of my post-war 1956 house to make it look more modern and match an inside renovation. What I like most about Erin is that she listened in a thoughtful way and really considered my vision. My vision obviously had holes in it because I'm not a designer and this is where Erin opened my eyes to elements that allowed the existing structure to remain, yet included touches that are unmistakably modern. She's also not afraid of color when appropriate and I love this. Look no further than Erin!

Great designer and collaborator. Really enjoyed working together. Highly recommend Erin for your design projects. And, that voice of hers, will keep you coming back.

Erin came over and got things done. Within an hour of our initial consult, she had really listened to what I was hoping to achieve, took pictures, measurements, and within 24 hours supplied me with mood boards, suggestions, photos and had lots of great, creative ideas that I certainly would not have thought of. This is how to start a bathroom remodel; with a great vision, a solid design and inspiration. She's a pro.

I feel so fortunate that I chose Erin to work with on our interior design project. Though this is our 7th (and hopefully last) home, I had never taken on a project of this scale - reimagining the interior space of an older family home. Erin understood from the start how important it was to me to honor the history of the home while bringing it into the 21st century. I was intimidated by the scope and the seemingly endless number of decisions to be made but Erin made it manageable and fun! She is easy to work with and made me comfortable with her genuine interest and thoughtful listening. She was very responsive when decisions needed to be made quickly. Erin was able to strike the perfect balance of guiding me in the right direction while encouraging me to trust my instincts.

We are in the process of moving back to the US, but left most of our belongings overseas. We were looking for a designer who could help us furnish and decorate a rental property (kitchen, living area, master bedroom, and baths). We wanted to go for a modern and natural feel. The rental home is also much smaller than our previous homes, so every piece we chose had to be functional as well as be attractive. We also hoped the furniture we chose would be versatile because eventually we will purchase our own home and want to be able to use most of it again. With Erin's guidance, we successfully achieved these priorities. From our first meeting with Erin, my husband and I felt like we were getting design advice from a dear and trusted friend. Erin is candid and honest. She listens and observes carefully. Over the course of our project we met at our home for the initial consultation, for detailed floor mapping, installation of major pieces and then to select and arrange accessories. Erin first created a mood board that really helped us understand our style. We purchased some smaller pieces online but also did a trip to LA together to purchase most of the larger pieces. My husband usually hates shopping but he really enjoyed working with Erin, and appreciated her straightforward approach. Working with Erin was a wise investment in resources, excellent value. Erin is always on time for meetings and then efficient with her work but, at the same time, lots of fun with an great sense of humor. Erin helped us spend our money wisely on on furnishings that we love. Erin worked carefully within our budget. She found bargains and also advised on which pieces were worth spending a bit more. She carefully observed our reactions to different ideas and was able to hone in on our taste quickly. My husband and I had slightly different visions in the beginning and she was able to meld them together (though we didn't pay her extra for the couples therapy). We have worked with other designers with other homes, and felt our homes ended up reflecting the designer' style, not our own. With Erin's help, we feel our rental home now reflects our style. When we eventually purchase a home, we will undoubtedly seek Erin's services again.

Erin is a dream to work with. I wish she was the designer on all my projects! Her vision for the project we were on was stunning and it was absolutely my favorite project of all time.

I absolutely loved working with Erin. Not only does she have great taste, but she actually takes into consideration what the client wants. She made our home glamorous yet comfortable without breaking the bank. She is the first designer I've worked with who produced a satisfactory outcome for me and didn't rip me off. I adore Erin and love how she works. I highly recommend her!

We love our new kitchen! Erin helped design a kitchen that still makes us smile every day. She took time to understand our desires and was able to blend the new look into the existing style of our home. Erin recommended an amazing company for us to work with for the custom kitchen design and worked along with them and us to make our kitchen the true center of our home. We highly recommend Erin Ellwood Design!
