Julia Katrine and her team were a delight to work with. I have hired many designers over the decades...and Julia is one of the best. Not only does she have impeccable taste, she is well organized and responsive, works well with contractors and ahead of their needs, mindful of costs, always an intuitive listener...and importantly...makes the project fun! I am happy to give her a “gold star” reference!

Julia is the utmost professional in her industry. We had a set budget and only 5 months to work with before we moved and she made it a seamless transition. We met when I was 9 months pregnant and I really needed her to take the lead through this project as I was taking care of my toddler and a newborn. She reviewed by interior design boards that I sent her nailed all her selections she proposed to me. She also formed a great relationship with our contractor which was very helpful. She is a lovely individual with a kind and warm spirit and was able to transform an outdated home into my dream house!

I worked with Julie on the updating of a home we purchased in Sonoma. Julia was a pleasure to work with. In a couple of months, Julia had furnished the house (all pieces were at house), had the full house painted, installed shades/window coverings on all the windows, had two televisions installed, ripped out carpet and put in new hardwood floors. Julia acted as the general contractor, designer and all around go to person. In addition to the major design work, she handled little things as well like mats for the outside doors/flower boxes, etc. She knows how to get things done and has many excellent contacts We made two shopping trips together so she could get a sense of our style. After that, we were able to do most of it on line. Julia generally presented three options for each decision and we went from there. She has a great eye and is decisive. We love everything she did. The Sonoma house is a second home for us and I have had Julia down to my main home to help out as well. I can not say enough positive things about Julia, her work ethic and her sense of style.

A true professional in the word! Julia is super talented and loves what she does, as it is reflected in her finished product. With endless attention to detail, the ability to visualize the completed project and the use of space, along with the understanding of construction, Julia’s vision is unsurpassed. I would recommend engaging Julia in the planning phase of the project and keeping her on board until the final piece is positioned. From start to finish the project was on time, completed within budget and beyond expectation. I highly recommend Julia, her team and her services.

Julia created an atmosphere to my home that is warm, timeless and sophisticated, using a color scheme of my choice, but combined in such a way that made it much better than I could imagine. Her creativity that she choose with moving just a few walls made for a much more functional space and a whole new feeling to my home,

Julia Katrine is a very talented designer. She worked with me and my husband for a year on the remodeling of our Sonoma home. We couldn't have done our project without her. She understands the construction process, designed all our cabinets, wainscoting, flooring, paint, lighting, fabrics, outside trellises and many new furniture pieces. Her attention to detail saved us from making mistakes. We are thrilled with the outcome. Our use of Houzz idea books gave us great visuals. Her pricing is fair and she makes great use of her time. Plus she's fun to work with! I highly recommend her as the designer of the year.

Julia, at Julie Katrine Designs, is brilliant! Her ideas are are at the same time, on trend and unique. Her vision is amazing, her use of texture, textiles, and color are extraordinary, and working with her was a painless process. She listens to the client, and works to meet needs while bringing her amazing sense of style.

Julia Katrine and her talented team were brought on board to upgrade and enhance the style, charm and character of our wine country home in Kenwood, CA. Being the 2nd owners of a rustic 3 bdrm/2 bath home which was built in 1978 without any upgrades, we wanted to give the place a fresh makeover and be fully furnished in 8 mos (we took ownership in January, 2015). With a great deal of wood on the floors, walls, and ceilings along with paisley wall paper, brass fixtures, linoleum, etc we had a long list of desired changes without a clear idea of where to start. Julia instantly invested time to understand our taste/style and immediately came up with recommendations for colors, textures, finishes, furnishings, etc. inside and out along with a project roadmap. Over the course of the next 8 months she transformed our home from a 70's 'cabin' look to a contemporary 'resort' space without compromising the spirit of the property. Julia, we could not be more pleased with the outcome...our friends & family couldn't agree more, Thank you!

Julia is an amazing interior designer who is both immensely talented and a consummate professional. I was so impressed with the work Julia did on my home in San Francisco several years ago that I recently hired her to work on my beach house in Los Angeles. This was a massive project as we completely gutted a 3700 square foot property. She personally designed every square inch, and it is beautiful. She can see the potential in a property that everyone else misses, and the end result is stunning to all. I highly recommend Julia Katrine Designs.

I've been beyond pleased with Julia Katrine Designs! I initially hired her to do a small project for my home remodel but have ended up using her services in almost all facets - paint colors, lighting, furniture choices, fixtures, flooring (including wood and tile) and overall design. She has an amazing eye and great taste but never tries to impose her style on me. She truly wants her clients to be happy and for their home to reflect what THEY want. She also has impressive knowledge of home construction and easily serves as a helpful go-between with contractors, when needed. Julia also has great contacts in the area, knows how to find great deals on quality items and services and she's also just plain fun to work with!

Julia was tasked with designing a living room, dining room and family room in a home purchased at a distress sale, without the benefit of prior updating, from floors to roofing. Not only did she see great hope for out space, but she was able to marry my husbands bungalow taste with my Parisian aspirations! From new windows to trim, wall color to pillow fabrics , furniture to hardware, she was a master assembler of form, function and comfort in our midst. I recommend her sense of style, taste and practicality. She was responsive to our budget and unafraid of recommending unfamiliar ideas which we really needed. Straight talker, comfortable with her own ideas and easy going with changes...I recommend Julia whole heartedly.

I've worked with Julia on two homes and she's just excellent. She tailors her recommendations to client's individual tastes; provides lots of ideas; will narrow options appropriately to get to decisions; has a great eye; knows how to pull paint, furnishings, and structural elements together; and won't just recommend the highest cost option. She's great on projects that are really big or that are small.

Julia is a great designer! She is easy to work with, a great listener, and very professional. The space that she created for us is more beautiful than I could have ever imagined, and more affordable than other designers I have used in the past. I highly recommend her!
