Talianko Design Group, LLC

Remodeling my kitchen had been a pandora box of unending decision making. I had been so lucky to have Debbie on my side to maneuver through this seemingly overwhelming adventure. Guided by her vast experience and talent as interior designer, it had been an surprisingly positive experience. Her ability to listen helped find solutions, best suited for our own style and needs. She made me confident in my decisions and my family and I could not be happier with the overall result. Most of all it had been a pleasure being around her calm and delightful personality. She responded quickly and was available for questions or for home visits if needed.

I remodeled the kitchen, living room and two bathrooms, starting with an architectural designer and contractor. There was a fundamental design challenge with the living room layout (where to put the TV in a 1937 living room with fireplace and bay window). When Debbie joined the team she came up with a fabulous design idea to solve this problem, and the architect and contractor figured out how to implement it. Debbie started with finding a color scheme that I liked, then designed the new look for furniture, window coverings, rugs, for every room in the house. I had never worked with an interior designer before, but Debbie blended my sentimental objects and family heirlooms with a new look and it all works really well and is super-comfortable. She and her team were great to work with – they made it easy for me because I didn’t have time to spend shopping, they brought it all to me. Great professionals to work with. I highly recommend them!

I am a very frustrating client! I know nothing of design, fabrics or materials! Debbie and Natalie were so patient with me, teaching me how to update my home and make it beautiful and useful. They have outstanding judgement, are fabulously organized and are very nice people. The results are gorgeous and we love it all.

When you think about it, one’s personal life unfolds in the home. Happiness, tragedy, trivial thoughts and life-changing decisions all play out in the home. If a home’s interior is aesthetically designed, life’s challenges seem less insurmountable, life’s triumphs feel more enriched, and life’s pace gently slows. The Talianko Design Group, gifted with artistic creativity and practical skills, created a home ambiance for us that will allow us to enjoy life for many years to come. Mrs. Talkanko redesigned our kitchen, breakfast area, office, bathroom, and dining/living rooms. Her layout design was imaginative yet practical, her materials and finishes were of high quality and harmony, and her project management skills could easily surpass those of many a CEO. Mrs. Talianko provided space plans, material samples, and installation advice all on schedule. When we made inquiries, they were promptly and thoroughly resolved to the point it became obvious TDG prizes professional service as much as it does creative, quality design. We tasked Mrs. Talianko to work with unfamiliar contractors and she used tact and flexibility to direct them with aplomb. Mrs. Talianko’s staff, designer Ms. Natalie Lord and office manager Ms. Katie Kelly, are superb assistants who kindly provide information and guidance at a moment’s notice. Many thanks to TDG for your fine work. Needless to say, we recommend TDG to anyone in need of professional interior design services.

For many years we've lived with randomly purchased, mismatched furniture, but when we finished remodeling our home, I wanted the family, dining and living rooms to look cohesive. Debbie Talianko and her team achieved exactly that, with superb grace and style. She took into consideration our lifestyle, pets, direct sunlight (or lack of) and existing color schemes throughout the house to put together three rooms that feel comfortable and appropriate. The furniture and furnishings are top level and will last for many years. A wonderful investment.

I had one of their designer come to my home to help choose paint colors for the entire house, inside & out, as well as give me decorative ideas. I had the entire house painted using the colors the designer suggested. I have also done almost all of the other advice, such as type of fixtures, window coverings, etc. I have found that the designers’s advice was “right on”. I love everything we have done and the paint colors are fabulous! The first couple of rooms we painted, I tried the color as was suggested, but they were always just what I was looking for, so I even stopped testing. My painter remarked in every room, what a great color choice the paint was. I am so happy I consulted with this design group. The experience was fun and so helpful. It was well worth the money spent.

I've been working with Debbie Talianko on a kitchen remodel and could not be happier. Her sense of style and color have been invaluable to me. She also has an excellent reputation with all the local vendors I have visited.

Debbie and her team were amazing throughout the entire process! On our first meeting with her, Debbie presented us with a clear view of how she and her team would work with us, as well as her vision for how to renovate our home. The combination of design ideas and clear explanation of the path to execution immediately won us over. Everything started with "getting to know us." Based on our style and needs, she and her team put together an amazing design for our house. She was very helpful every step of the way, providing excellent insight as to how she made her decisions and recommendations. We especially appreciate the superb organizational skills. She made the whole design process fun and interesting. She is always a step ahead of us, recapping on progress to date and giving us updates on next steps. She and her team were very easy to communicate with and often answered our emails, texts and calls during off hours and weekends. The renovation process is very stressful. Debbie went above and beyond to help us coordinate with our contractor to make the process as smooth as possible. We would definitely engage her services again for any future design and renovation projects. We highly recommend Talianko Design Group!

I've had the pleasure of collaborating with Talianko Design Group on numerous occasions. When Debbie and her team are on a project, I'm confident our clients are in the best of hands. Debbie is a consummate professional and truly cares about providing high quality, beautiful results. I would not hesitate to recommend her top-notch firm.

Debbie and her team are wonderful! They are very organized and on the ball. Debbie always responds to your questions and emails right away. My husband and I are very busy people so we love that she and her team stays on top of everything. We just finished our formal living room with Debbie. Our home is a Marston Van Pelt Spanish Hacienda. Debbie brought it up to date while keeping in character with our elegant classic home. We love the new look! We will start the master suite next, then the kitchen and family room. We are anxious and excited to see her masterpiece on the rest of our home!

Debbie and her teams are working on our second project with them, a complete remodel of our kitchen, laundry room, attached half bath, and office. We returned to her for this second large project because we can depend on her ideas, color selection, and teamwork to make our vision a reality. From the design to the subs we’re are again thrilled with our project thus far. Thank you Talianko team!

Debbie is absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend her for any of your project needs. My husband and I have been picking up countless samples for over 6 months and were making zero progress with kitchen remodeling and selecting flooring and paint colors. I finally realized we needed professional help so I reached out to Debbie. We hired her for a two hour consultation and couldn’t be happier. She immediately was able to point out the correct wood floor based on our decor, coordinating paint for the walls and provided excellent advice on how to renovate and brighten up our dreary kitchen. She also went around our home and provided many other decorating tips. She is a true expert in her field and a joy to work with. Thank you Debbie for your invaluable advice – we are now finally ready to move forward ecstatically and confidently!
