Ralene Simmons Interiors

I partnered with Ralene Simmons Interiors to build a fireplace surround and built-in bookcase based on their design. The project was in an older existing home in Seattle, and the design perfectly bridged the old and the new, resulting in a gorgeous outcome for the client. This design firm has a great understanding of how to marry a design with its surrounding space, and I was provided a great design plan to work from. Raylene also collaborated very effectively whenever I had questions. I can confidently recommend Raylene Simmons Interiors. Great experience.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Ralene to redesign our living room. We started with a blank slate—no furniture, no window treatments, old lighting fixtures, etc. One of our biggest challenges was redesigning the fireplace wall, which required custom carpentry work. Ralene came up with an excellent design that matched the style of the home. She communicated with the carpenter throughout the project to ensure that the work matched the design. Ralene was incredibly easy to work with. She kept us up to date throughout the months-long project, and was able to work around some delays in our contractors’ schedules. She asked the right questions to get a sense of our style and came up with an excellent design. Her furniture and lighting selections were spot-on. We love spending time in our new living room. It has exactly the sophisticated and inviting feel that we were looking for. I highly recommend Ralene for your next design project!

I wanted to refurnish my living room but was getting overwhelmed trying to figure out what would look good. Ralene and I met to talk colors and styles and she put together a Pinterest board that reflected those ideas, including composite images of how different pieces would look together. Her suggestions were spot on, her help was invaluable, and the room looks perfect!

Ralene came into our home and immediately put me at ease with her ideas for solving our space planning and very bad furnishings problems. Her initial ideas blew us away. The results were exactly what we needed and our home is far more beautiful, bright, and functional than we could have ever done without her. We loved working with Ralene and hope to do it again some day.

Ralene was such a pleasure to work with reimagining and redesigning my bedroom recently. I had a home break in that was very traumatic and caused damage to my bedroom. I looked to Ralene to help me reimagine the space in a way that spoke to the peace and safety that I was looking for. She was able to take into account my design preferences while offering up her own unique touches. I appreciated her willingness to iterate with me to get to the right colors, furniture, textiles, and layout. Thank you, Ralene, for helping me reclaim my space. I hope we get to work on more projects (under better circumstances) soon!
