Reategui Design

Janette was professional and had great ideas! She was patient with my timeline and really helpful in coming up w a design plan for my primary bedroom. I look forward to working with her in the future again!

Janette helped us choose our paint colors for the interior of our house. We are extremely happy with her insights and recommendations. Janette has a talent for incorporating all aspects of the house into her suggestions. We highly recommend her.

I met Janette a number of years ago when she helped our daughter with her family’s remodel. She was efficient, knowledgeable and listened to what the family’s wants and needs were. When we purchased our condo in San Diego it essentially had to be gutted and remodeled so we hired Janette to help. She is innovative, focused and has great taste. She found us storage space where there was none and reined us in when we threatened to go overboard! My home and my daughter’s reflect our needs and taste and are quite different from each other. In my opinion this is the hallmark of a good designer! On top of all these important qualities she is really a nice person and fun to be with!

I’m so glad I found Janette through Houzz. She is the best!!! I will definitely ask her for help in the future if I have more renovation projects. I’m new to San Diego so I didn’t have any referrals from the area and just came on houzz and found someone I think would fit my project needs. Janette is so easy to work with. She responds very fast and is on top of everything. We remodeled the kitchen and two bathrooms with her. She helped me from the beginning with drawings all the way to picking fabric for window treatments. She’s very understanding, has great taste, and worked with my budget. I could tell everyone enjoys working with her when all the salespeople recognize her and always say great things about her. She’s super caring and checks on the project throughout to make sure everything is going well. She’s also not afraid to voice her opinion and let people know if things aren’t installed well, super important for me because I’m not very outspoken. Overall, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented designer with an amazing personality.

Working with Janette was an absolute dream! She does such a great job of blending your design goals with your budget. Janette always made herself available to answer our questions during the design/construction process. We could not be any happier with our newly renovated kitchen. We will absolutely use Janette for future projects! Dana McCann Carlsbad resident

Janette is delightful to work alongside on projects. She understands design & the need for realistic approaches to decorating with a family.

Janette is amazing! She is detail oriented, organized, patient and has a wonderful eye! She immediately made us feel comfortable asking about our vision and ideas and then sprang into action providing options and ideas. I’m super visual and needed the guidance to ensure design choices would come together for our new home and Janette provides that service. Portions of our home were a semi-remodel/demo and Janette has the knowledge and experience to make the entire room come together perfectly. Janette’s expertise and beautiful design have helped create our dream home!

Janette has been in the design business for as long as I can remember, at least 20 years. I would recommend her as her taste and style is fun, mixed w. modern and has good eyes to blend in any classic piece. Reategui Design just most recently helped me select kitchen pendant for my kitchen. So happy with this!

I absolutely love Janette Seltser. I hired her originally to design one room but loved her work so much that I hired her to design my entire home. She is so down to earth and realistic.

Janette is worth her weight in gold! She has helped me with the overwhelming task of transforming my home and furnishings from a tuscan design to a transitional design style. What I love about Janette is her respect of my budget and the fact that she is willing to work at my pace. From the onset, beginning with choosing the paint colors for the interior, selecting counters and cabinets for the kitchen all the way to furnishings, she completely understood the look I was going for and guided me through the process. She saved me from many wrong turns! Not only does she have an amazing eye for color and design, she is a really warm and down to earth person. I will continue to use Janette for all of my projects.

Janette was amazing and such a great help in making our house a home! Her knowledge of colour and design was amazing in that I could give her an idea of a certain feel or mood I wanted in each room and she delivered every time. She is very personable and reliable. Our family is so grateful to her for her exceptional work in transforming our house to a warm and inviting family home! We Loved her work! Urusha (Bristol UK)

I have used Janette to help with interior design for a number of years now. The first project she helped with was a guest bathroom and it far surpassed my expectations. Her attention to detail really made the room special. Janette is extremely personable and very talented with all aspects of home design. She has a great eye for color and pattern. When we moved into our new house we trusted Janette to help us every step of the way, from furniture, to draperies, to carpet and paint, to fabrics and fixtures. Thanks to her, my house turned into a home that my family could feel comfortable in and that looked beautiful. I would highly recommend Janette to anyone looking for help with designing their dream home.

Reategui Design was thorough and detailed in the design of our house. Janette did a great job laying out the appliances and cabinets and coming up with unique ceiling details. She is creative and has a real eye for color and style. I would highly recommend the company to anyone looking for a designer.

Janette at "Reategui Design" transformed our new home into our DREAM home! We recently moved into a beautifully remodeled BIG house but once we unpacked, we didn't have a clue how to furnish it. I had an idea of the look I wanted (Mid Century Modern) but I didn't know where to start? My husband and I live in LA so we were a little hesitant to hire a designer from San Diego but she came highly recommended. Now, after working closely with Janette, I'm so happy we decided to use her services. We interviewed a few different designers that were local but didn't really connect with any of them the way we did with Janette. So, we decided to hire her! Every time we met, she was on time, professional and very easy to talk to. If it were up to just me, I would have wanted to buy all new furniture... but my husband quickly brought me back down to reality and we had to stick to a tight budget. Janette was able to use most of our existing furniture and we only had to purchase a few new pieces to really give our home that designer look. We spent one weekend looking at different furniture stores in LA so that she could get a feel of our style. Because Janette often shops in LA, I quickly realized that she has great connections and industry discounts to insure the best possible prices on furniture and décor. I LOVED THAT! She found us great quality pieces that were both unique and budget friendly. Janette was always available by phone, text, email and even Skype whenever I had a question about anything. I'm a very "hands on" type of person so I wanted to be involved in every aspect of this design process. As much as I wanted to order everything right away and be done, I also wanted to make sure I was taking my time, reading reviews and making the right decisions. Janette was respectful of that and I never once felt pressured to make a rushed decision on anything. She listened to what we wanted and really went above and beyond our expectations! When our friends and family come over, they are so impressed with our home and the décor. It's a great feeling to finally a home that fells like "ours" and it's all thanks to our amazing interior designer, Janette!

Janette is professional, knowledgable, wonderful to work with, respectful of time and budget, and she has impeccable taste. She worked well with the team we had in place to build our dream home and we would definitely hire her again. It's been almost 6 years since we moved in and we still receive compliments daily on the finishes and furniture that Janette chose for our home.
