Kerstin Dieterich Designs

I had a very positive experience working with Kerstin our full house rebuild/remodel. Our project was extensive and including a completely new kitchen, turning our old kitchen into a multi-purpose laundry/mud/craft room, and three bathrooms. All required detailed planning on layout and materials. Kerstin created detailed schematics for the cabinetry and tile layouts for each of those spaces. She was able to assess my style and work with me in defining a direction on the rooms where I had very little idea of what I wanted. For rooms that I already had a picture in mind, she was very good at taking my ideas and helping me refine them, as well as correct some mistakes that I may have made on my own (you don't what you don't know). She also advised on other finishings throughout the house and helped me with color selection. The colors turned out beautiful and I wouldn’t have been able to get just the right shades in some of the rooms on my own. My favorite rooms that we worked together on are my new kitchen and our master bath. Kerstin was instrumental in creating rooms that reflect my style, yet incorporate ideas that I would not have been able to generate on my own. I now have my dream kitchen and our master feels like our own private spa! All in all, I'm very happy with the results that Kerstin has delivered, and I would hire her again.

Kerstin Dieterich is a design colleague whom I give my highest recommendation. I have known Kerstin both professionally and personally for more than 20 years and have collaborated with her on projects in the past. She is an extremely creative designer who produces beautiful and unique spaces. Kerstin has a knack for listening to the client(s) then taking their needs/desires and adding her special blend of expertise and inspiration to deliver an amazing outcome. She is professional, pleasant to work with, has great trade contacts, and knows how to facilitate a successful project on time and on budget. When I'm looking for some input on something I'm working on I love to bounce an idea off Kerstin because she ALWAYS knows all the latest products, materials, and design trends.

We hired Kerstin to design two bathrooms, stairway, and lighting. Kerstin really took the time to understand what I was looking for in my home. She listened to our our needs and wants and worked with us to come to solutions that looked great but also didn't break the bank. She consulted on when to look for deals and when to pay a little more for quality. I trust Kerstin to pivot her focus based on what her client's priorities are. Shopping with Kerstin was SO easy and I was able to make much faster decisions because Kerstin gave great advice. We will definitely hire her again!

Kerstin was a huge help with our kitchen remodel, stepping in on short notice. Halfway through our kitchen remodel, I was overwhelmed with design decisions that needed to be made quickly and Kerstin came to my rescue. She accompanied me to the fabricator's shop on very short notice to help me choose which sections of our stone slabs to use for which counters. She really took the time to think through all the possibilities with me, and the counters look amazing thanks to her sharp eye. She also helped with other design decisions such as light fixtures and cabinet hardware, taking the time to think through the smallest of details with me. Kerstin is truly gifted when it comes to picking paint colors. She was able to walk into our kitchen and immediately name the color that she thought would look the best. We played around with other color samples but kept coming back to the one she had first named. The color is perfect for the room and is exactly what I was looking for. Kerstin has an amazing eye and she is professional, reliable, friendly, patient and easy to work with. I highly recommend her services!

We wanted to remodel our home so we interviewed with many designers and firms that provide all in one service. Here are the reasons why we chose Kerstin and highly recommend her: 1. Not only does Kerstin have the design sense especially with the trendy transitional style, but she is also very well versed with the construction aspect of these projects. 2. She does a great job with project management including but not limited to working with contractors and facilitating the logistics. 3. Kerstin is highly motivated and takes great initiative to go above and beyond. 4. She is easygoing and is very fun to work with. Kerstin provides the necessary feedback while integrating our opinions. We are very thankful to have her help us on our project! =)

Kerstin possesses a breadth and depth of design knowledge that comforts and assures her clients that they are creating a personal and unique space. Her passion for design is reflected in her client's happiness.

Kerstin has been a wonderful design partner and is helping us with every aspect of a major redesign, from kitchen and bath tiles to electrical placement, cabinet design and colors. We never could have done the job well without her. She makes the process much easier.

Kerstin helped me with the remodeling of my home. I completely remodeled one bathroom and partially remodeled a second. She designed the tile for both of the showers. I also remodeled the kitchen. She was instrumental in creating the design for the backsplash. Her vision assisted me in picking out countertops, floor, and tile designs. I am very pleased with the outcome of the project.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Kerstin Dieterich for a 14 month long home renovation and are ecstatic with the final results. Kerstin has been an integral part of our design and planning team. Her ability to translate our vision into reality while keeping our budget in mind was refreshing. Her professionalism in working with the contractor and his team during enabled us to make decisions without compromising our design plans, especially during those “uh oh” moments that commonly occur in renovations. Kerstin helped with kitchen layout and design (the final product is amazing), floor selection, paint color selection, landscape design and plant selection, tile and fixture selection. She has a wonderful working relationship with local home improvement providers which made it easier for us to select materials such as countertops and wood flooring. Kerstin took into consideration that we have three young children when designing our home and we could not be happier with the final result.

I was overwhelmed by the thousands of design choices for my kitchen remodel on my first visit to the showroom. I knew I needed help. That's where Kerstin came in. She made the whole process fun and productive. In just over 2 hours I had a coordinated set of choices for cabinets, flooring, counters and backsplash to review with my husband. Kerstin is a true professional and saved me a lot of leg work and time. I would be glad to work with her again.

We are a high-end residential real estate developer in the Bay Area and have had the pleasure to work with Kerstin on a number of our projects. Her eye for design along with her genuine passion for a fantastic finished product is evident throughout her work. We continuously have buyers compliment and request referrals on the projects she has completed. I would recommend her to any contractor, developer, or home owner looking for an experienced, skillful interior design professional.
