Tami Smight Interiors

BEST DECISION! I called on Tami Smight to guide us in our seven month home renovation project. I realized I needed professional help, what I didn’t know was how much certainty and calm Tami would provide in addition to the nuts and bolts of product specification and project management. There are so many moving parts to a home renovation! Tami was responsive in EVERY instance I called for help - allaying my concerns and providing fresh ideas and solutions when there would be natural bumps in the project… bumps like a worldwide pandemic! The end result is a home which flows from one space to the next. Our home is tranquil and calm, and the materials have a timeless look, and reflect our personality and interests. Tami definitely saved us money; steering us clear of costly errors in decisions and materials. As a designer and project manager, Tami leads with confidence and warmth. She is an excellent communicator and a delight to have met and worked with. Look no further!

Tami Smight created a home environment which is calm, peaceful and transformative! I met Tami when she invited me to sell her home. In my tour of the house, I instantly felt a sense tranquility. My outside concerns and troubles melted away. Her home tells a story. It's a dance between sophistication & comfort, interior & exterior living, openness & privacy - all harmoniously orchestrated. Her home is a true reflection of her warmth, grace and kindness. I highly recommend you invite her to do the same for you!

I reached out to Tami for her virtual design services during the shelter in place period in our Brooklyn apartment. Our need was three fold; optimize our living space for working at home, while interjecting our personality into the design, and honoring our budget. Tami Smight delivered beyond our expectations. The virtual consultation worked beautifully. Tami’s calm manner and presence calmed me, she asked great questions and I felt heard. She is remarkably kind and gentle in her creative process. With some simple purchases, and modest investment, we have enhanced our living space and feel a deeper engagement with our home. Hiring Tami was great value and I highly recommend her.

We are so happy we hired Tami Smight for our Connecticut home update! We engaged Tami at the “White Glove Level” which secured her services through the entire design process - a great value! Tami was our trusted guide and advocate through the six month project. Now, there is a flow and cohesiveness of colors and textures throughout our home, something we could not have accomplished on our own. Tami is a great communicator and is a delight to work with. We highly recommend her services!

Tami is truly a gem and a talented interior designer. As our first large design project (new homeowners!), we needed help from a professional who could help me visualize our space in a new way. We were renovating our kind-of finished basement to become a few unique spaces: a family room, a guest bedroom, a play space and an office area. Tami did a great job getting to know me and my husband and merging our needs into a unified vision. She was also invaluable in helping us to select a contractor, something we had not ever done before. She helped us ask the right questions, guided us with her professional expertise and made sure that we had all of the right paperwork in order before signing on with our contractor (who, subsequently, we also loved!). She prides herself on being a good listener and we found that to be the absolute truth. Tami took the time to get to know our priorities (kid-friendly, family-friendly materials and pieces, high quality, nothing that breaks the bank, and a light/bright space). Based on our values and priorities, she created a floorplan, layout and design that really fit our personalities and our family's needs -- while adhering to our budget and setting realistic expectations for us! The best moment of working with Tami was when we met her at a local furniture store after she pre-shopped some items for us. We had our 1.5-year-old in tow with us, who has a deep love for exploration and an incredible way to divert our attention when we're trying to make important decisions. Tami spent time playing with our daughter on the floor, while my husband and I worked with the furniture store consultant who showed us all of the things that Tami had pre-shopped for us. She knew that we needed some time to talk before making these big purchases and she gave us that opportunity for caring for our daughter. We left the store with furniture purchased (all the items that she had selected in advance, just different fabrics), and felt good about the decisions we made. (We love the furniture in our space, by the way!) Tami was (is!) an excellent communicator, a lovely person to be around, and a caring individual. She cared not only about the final design, but also about us - and wanted to make sure we were 100% happy with what we ended up with - so when it took a few iterations to get it right, she was willing to put in the work. We are glad we hired Tami. She not only helped us create a great space, but we now feel confident enough to take on more projects in the future since she helped us articulate and create our design style. We would highly recommend her!

We highly recommended working with Tami... we had a wonderful, professional experience working with her. She is beyond qualified and does a beautiful job. She is always prompt and very detailed. We love working with partners that are fair and trustworthy. Looking forward to future jobs!

We started a kitchen renovation project and very quickly realized that we needed the help of a professional. Tami Smight was highly recommended and when contacted was almost immediately available. Her assistance in visiting the various Kitchen design firms with us, the product discounts obtained and the manner in which she presented new ideas convinced us that we made a very good decision in retaining Tami's services and would do it again.

Tami Smight Interiors kept our renovation running smoothly! We renovated our entire home over a 7 month period. We called on Tami to guide in the materials selection for our master and 1/2 bathrooms, entirely new kitchen, paint colors, flooring specifications and baseboards throughout. Her product knowledge, design sense, communication skills, and kindness exceeded our expectations! Look no further! We fully recommend Tami and would use her expertise again.

Working on design projects with Tami Smight as the designer is a real pleasure. Her knowledge of construction, communication skills and attention to detail are topnotch. Both myself as the general contractor as well as my subscontractors have found Tami to be open to different ideas before she makes a final decision on design and I would highly recommend her.

Wow! I have lived in my house for nearly 20 years and it was time to do some updating. After researching designers in my area I hired Tami to help select paint colors for a few rooms in my house and to select some furnishings and a rug for my family room. Tami responded to my request immediately. We spoke on the phone and she explained her process and pricing and was very transparent. We set a date to meet. Tami was prompt and arrived with large paint samples that we could move around the rooms to view in various locations and light. Tami listened to my preferences, ascertained my style and helped me narrow down my choices. She left me with the big samples to play with and had smaller samples shipped from the paint company for me to keep. After I selected my preferred colors Tami followed up with a paint specification document for me to share with my painter so that the color selections, finish and trim were clear and the paint job could be priced accurately. Tami also pre-shopped some furniture ideas at a local store so that my husband could meet with us at the store during his lunch hour and see the furniture in person. She also provided fabric options for us that would work in our room and helped us with that choice. Tami made our decision easy and fun. She helped explain the pros and cons of the furniture and upholstery and sent us home with fabric and rug samples we could play with in our family room. Tami is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and she listens. It can be overwhelming to select colors and fabrics and furniture. They are big purchases and no one wants to make a mistake. Working with a professional like Tami makes the process so much easier and in my case got me to go from "wanting" to actually "doing". Her fees are reasonable and she will work with your budget. I look forward to working with her on more projects for my home and highly recommend her to anyone looking for design help!

My parents have worked with Tami Smight for years on their two homes, so when husband and I chose to renovate our Venice, CA beach house - we treated ourselves to Tami. What a wise decision that was! Tami took the time to ask the right questions about our budget, our needs and wants and marrying two design styles for our first home as husband and wife. We had no idea how many moving parts exist in a home renovation! It can be overwhelming, however, with Tami’s professional guidance, creative designs and excellent communication, we were confidently guided through the entire process. We felt certain in all the materials selections and so excited to transform our Kitchen and bathrooms. Throughout the process, Tami was our advocate and wanted what was best for our home and budget. We benefited from Tami’s unique ability to educate through the process with a calm, nurturing manner, and positive energy. We proudly recommend Tami to those looking for a smooth experience for interior design and/or home renovation.

This last year I moved into my dream apartment and needed a complete refresh in order to decorate it correctly. Tami helped us find one of a kind Mid Century lighting and furniture that perfectly accented the space. With tall ceilings and white walls we wanted the right balance of art and accessories without overwhelming the space. Tami helped us lay out a cohesive plan and budget to getting it accomplished. Tami is an amazing designer but also sweet, helpful, patient and fun to work with. She made sure we were working towards the end result we wanted and now we feel like we have our ideal apartment that fits our taste and style perfectly. Hiring Tami is time and money well spent, couldn't recommend her enough!

Tami makes everything so easy! She has a sense of style that will make your place feel unique AND she can do it remotely. I was having a hard time picking out materials and colors for a kitchen renovation. We live in San Francisco and I always admired Tami’s pictures on Instagram. I contacted her, sent her pictures of our kitchen and what I was looking for. In a day, she had created a Kitchen Mood Board with suggestions, pictures, and where to get the supplies. I love how she took into consideration the space issues and what would make it seem more open and flowing and catch the light in ways that I could not have done. Thank you Tami! I highly recommend her.

Tami is an AMAZING resource. I am the custodian for a property in Connecticut, but live in Manhattan. I needed assistance updating a bedroom used by a wheelchair bound 93-year-old woman. I needed to do the project remotely - and put my trust in a professional I contacted Tami, and she went on site, made great design suggestions and stuck to my budget. She helped us with paint colors, new flooring and a beautiful window shade. Tami even came back to hang the artwork Tami also has a cadre of RELIABLE contractors, who showed up as promised!. All the work was coordinated, and the room re-done in three days with minimal inconvenience to the older woman. Tami, being a former Registered Nurse, brought much needed empathy and knowledge to this project. Everyone loves the result and we now have a clean, safe, brightly redone beautiful room. Tami is a GREAT COMMUNICATOR and I particularly like that she always got back to my inquiries on the same day. She is also an EXCELLENT DESIGNER I look forward to working with her on future projects and would highly recommend working with her.

Although I love decorating, and have been asked by friends to help them decorate a room here and there, when it comes to my own home, I get overwhelmed with choices and indecision. Enter Tami Smight - she saved me time, money and useless worrying. I first called on Tami for design advice two years ago when debating about window shades in my kitchen. She actually advised me to leave the windows bare (which my husband preferred and loved!). I knew then that she was looking out for me, what’s best for my home, and my desired end result for the space. On our current home improvement project, finishing the basement, I was going in circles about mixing cabinetry colors, hardware finishes, and counter top choices. I was close, but stressed about pulling the trigger on any ONE decision. So, once again, I reached out to Tami with two simple questions. She responded the next day with a “Mood Board” complete with links to products, colors, sizes. She educated me as to the “ WHY”..why it is okay to mix the hardware, cabinets etc. Pouff! Immediately I felt “ unstuck” and certain about my direction, materials choices - AND the cost for her services was so reasonable! Tami Smight provides certainty and clarity, she listens, and really cares about helping me LOVE my home! The best part, is Tami did all of this remotely. I live in Illinois and she in Connecticut, we communicated ideas/questions via text and emails. I highly recommend her services for your project, big or small, local or remote!

As a busy business owner, I come home at the end of the day pretty tired! My best hours are given to my family, my clients and myself (when I can)! It had been on my radar to improve our home. Sure, I had a list in my head… reupholster the sofa, hang artwork, get the stairs refinished… but that list never got written on paper, let alone executed into a design plan. I met Tami Smight through a friend, and invited her to consult on my project. From the start, I felt I was in good hands due to Tami’s expert knowledge, ability to understand my vision, as well as her winning personality. She recorded my “wish list” for improving the house, offered some design advice, and let me explain what worked and what did not work in my home. It impressed me that Tami asked great questions… how much do you and your husband want to invest in this project? Do you want to work one room at a time, is there a special event to complete the project for?… and many more. Tami offered a design fee for her work and an estimated budget for carrying out a design. Hiring Tami to be my trusted guide and advisor through my living room design was a smart decision. Tami honored my budget, provided wonderful options for completing my first project - the living room. She explained wisely, get one room completely finished, rather than a “shotgun approach” to design. The living room is the first room seen upon entering my house, and Tami asked “How do you want guests to feel when they enter your home”. That answer drove her design choices, and ultimately gave me a living room I love to live in! Hiring a professional does cost a fee, but look at the value… you are paying for a clear pathway to accomplishing a goal… from a professional who immerses herself in the world of design everyday, and offers guidance, direction, certainty, clarity and focus. To me, that is money well spent! I highly recommend you call upon Tami Smight Interiors for your project!

For our California home, we needed design guidance for our master bedroom and family room. We didn’t need much, so I was concerned that would be too small a project for a designer. After a fifteen minute phone call with Tami, she listened to my needs, described how the process could work, what she would need from me (photos, measurements) and what the fee would be. I am so happy I had faith in Tami’s ability to express my design style and present options for our design solutions with digital renderings of the proposed updates. Tami is easy to communicate with, she really cares about solving your design dilemma, and her personality is warm, friendly and approachable. The end result is impactful, yet affordable updates to the rooms which have renewed my interest in our home. If you need a trusted guide and advisor for your project, look no further, call Tami Smight. I am definitely going to work with her again!

When I met Tami the first time, I knew right away we could work together in my house projects. Her warm and bubbly personality, excitement about the project and confidence won me over right away. I couldn’t have done it without her patience, diligence, emotional support, professionalism, vision, expertise, kindness. Tami also understands the emotional component of decorating a house and she was highly supportive. Her focus is completely on client satisfaction and she does this by being thorough in her communications, providing updates and sourcing items to fit my budget and taste. Tami understands that when ordering stuff, things can go wrong on the other end. She keeps her cool and finds solutions right away. The end product of my project reflects my personality while still working with the architectural style of the house. Tami brought in the elements that truly transformed my house into a home without resorting to a "done-up" museum house production. My home feels like I actually live there but at the same time, it has an air of sophistication that shows my love for good design. I know who I will call again when I want to re-do another part of the house. Tami Smight is a gem!

Tami was a delight to work with. From the time we scheduled a consultation with her to the end result, we felt she listened carefully to our needs and wishes and she helped make our renovation project less stressful. Her input was instrumental in a successful project. We would recommend her to any of our friends.

Well first of all let me start by saying to work with Tami is to KNOW she has impeccable taste, knowledge of all things beautiful and how to bring them to life in your home on just about any scale and budget. From the simple project to the most complex she makes it easy and affordable! I desperately needed a second (and professional) set of eyes to help me make the right choices with my kitchen update which Tami provided. Had I not leaned on her I would have wasted time not to mention money. I can't wait to consult with her on my next room!

Tami was organized and thoughtfully presented ideas for the staging of our house. Unlike other staging companies she was able to use existing pieces to give our home a fresh look. I learned a lot of new techniques to make our home desiresble. Tami delivered the advice in a gentle but professional manner. Tami was delightful !

Wow! I can’t say enough about the joys of working with Tami Smight Interiors! My husband and I trusted Tami to transform two homes for us. We knew we needed a professional to guide us, because I had a lot of ideas, which tended to be non-cohesive. Enter Tami Smight, who listened to our needs and transformed our homes to reflect our design style. Tami asks the right questions, and listens to the answers. I love how she asked “ how do you want to feel when you enter this home”. She also educated us along the way, to understand the design elements she proposed (always great choices) and the benefit. Tami is professional, caring and so very approachable. Her team works so calmly and efficiently because everyone has mutual respect. I can honestly say that Tami Smight Interiors has elevated our enjoyment of living in our home. Look no further… Tami Smight Interiors is the best!

I hired Tami to help me finish my nursery. The baby is due soon and I needed help! The scope of the project started as just a paint consultation. I had too many colors to narrow down and needed help figuring out which would be best. Tami helped me see the nuances in the different colors and have confidence in the final choice. Because Tami is such a joy to work with and so easy to talk to, I expanded the scope of the project to include baby furniture. It was refreshing to learn that I could use items from affordable vendors like Wayfair when working with a designer. She helped me pick products that look high end, without the big price tag and with this being our second baby and not wanting to break the bank it was such a relief. She was very prompt with responses and ordering and everything went very smoothly. Tami was really a joy to work with and I can't wait to do more projects with her in the future. She gave me so many wonderful tips for picking wall colors that put my mind at ease (I hated the original wall color I had picked myself so I was a little paralyzed by fear picking a new one and she helped me feel confident). I think that was the most surprising thing about working with such a wonderful designer like Tami, the easy tools they can give you to feel empowered and confident in your choices. It doesn't have to be hard or expensive. Tami is so easy to talk to and really listens to your needs and wants and helps you create the best space for you and your family. I cannot recommend her more.

I love designing, and have such great ideas when it comes to friends and family, and decorating in general. But when it came to designing our new lake house, I had many great ideas, but I was unable to move forward with decisions and felt overwhelmed! I knew I needed a designer to guide me through the process. Enter Tami Smight, who looked at my choices and offered new options for me to consider, while honoring my budget and time line for the project. Tami really helped me wrestle this project to the ground and now I feel certain about all the furnishings and accessories, paint colors, tile, plumbing etc for our new home. With Tami’s professional design guidance, I was able to make decisions and keep the project moving forward. I feel so confident in all the purchases and saved money, because when you hire Tami, you also get the benefit of her designer discounts! I highly recommend Tami Smight for your design project, even if you are good at designing yourself!

I have hired Tami not just one occasion when I sought her expertise with my window treatments in my living room and dining room in 2015. I was extremely pleased with her work. Therefore, I sought her help again this year when I did an extensive remodel of my home and built a pool house. She did a marvelous job. I can unequivocally recommend her for your interior designer needs. She is a real professional and is easy to work with and very likeable.

Working with Tami Smight was absolutely WONDERFUL! My husband and I are incredibly happy with all of the recommendations Tami provided us. I sought an interior decorating professional because we moved into a home where the paint and woodwork needed major updating as the home had not been maintained or updated in 22 years. We also needed recommendations for how to decorate spaces in our home that were slightly abnormal in size or positioning in the home. I worked with Tami Smight long distance, and it could not have been more seamless than if we were in person! I was able to review the home with Tami virtually, and she took her time with me to review me each space and discuss what our goals for the home were and the type of "feel" we wanted to create. Tami helped us turn a 22 year old home with dark wood trim and ghastly wall colors into a beautifully bright, welcoming, and airy home! Tami gave us great recommendations not only on color schemes but also on what questions we should be asking our painters to ensure we choose the right fit. Thank you so much, Tami!

You're not going to find a better designer with such creativity skills than Tami. She took her time with my husband and I remodeling our kitchen and foyer area. Tami you were right about the floor color. We love the walnut finish, that we decided to do the entire house . Thanks again for you guidance and patience. See you soon !! Sam & Steve

Wow! Tami Smight Interiors did the interior design work for our lake house remodel and it turned out great! We have received so many compliments since the project was completed. Tami brought her creativity, knowledge and an over abundance of patience with her everyday. Tami truly listens to what you want and makes your vision a reality. Thank you Tami Smight Interiors!

I am so delighted to have chosen Tami Smight to guide us through the process of redecorating our suburban home built in 1986. From the start, Tami has been a delight to work with- she immediately attempted to get a sense of our style, along with our practical needs and likes. We discussed an approximate budget. She then created a detailed plan and provided choices to suit our taste. All of the recommended items were in keeping with our agreed upon budget. The results are stunning- and are so reflective of us! As I said to Tami- "Thank you for helping me to fall in love my home again".....we are truly enjoying the comfort and beauty she has created for us. I would highly recommend Tami to anyone seeking a talented, well-organized pro to partner with you in decorating your home.

Tami Smight is a visionary. We hired Tami to redesign the first floor of our home. The house came with carmel paint on the walls, and we kept buying brown pieces to match it. We wanted brighter, happier paint colors and new furnishings. Tami led us through a process of clarifying what we wanted and choosing a color palette. When Tami presented our design “road map,” I was floored at how she had taken our ideas and turned it into a plan that flowed from our front door to our living room. She narrowed each furnishing option down to two choices, and it was easy to pick our preference. Tami also excels at choosing paint colors and sheens. For our family room, she choose the perfect shade of blue and it feels like the sky has come into my home. Last week, we sat and had a conversation in our living room for the first time, because the new grey wall color and furniture draws us into a previously unused space. As more and more furniture arrived, it became evident how all the pieces work beautifully together in concert. Our furniture now perfectly fits our space and makes each area not only more usable, but the home seems larger. I cannot recommend Tami highly enough for her expertise, her skill in helping define your style, her attention to detail and her kindness. She is a true gem!

Tami has done several design projects for me. The most recent design was for my master bedroom and office. She is extremely professional and organized. She developed a booklet for me with all the design details including window treatments, fabrics, furniture, rugs, bedding, paint colors, art work and vendors. I love how she listens to your decorating taste and designs accordingly. She really knows how to transform rooms. I really love my master bedroom now, and it's a good thing I did my office- otherwise, I might not get out of bed and get to work! Thank you Tami!

Tami and I have done a couple jobs together. She has made my job as a general contractor so much easier by having everything lined up before we even started

Amazing person to work with. Very organized and treats everyone with a high level of respect. We would love to work with Tami again in the near future.

We used Tami to design several elements in our home. Her process was listening to our wishes, viewing our existing home and turning our desires into reality. She has a great design sense and the work was completed as if I designed it myself. She provided a step by step workbook listing every design element. It came in handy dealing with our contractor and subs. Tami was always available to answer questions once the work began. I would recommend her highly.

Tami Smight designed window treatments for every room in our new house in California. Her creations are the finishing touches that were needed to make our home warm and inviting. It's amazing the difference it can make when you hire a professional and Tami is a pro. From beautiful fabric draperies to interesting woven woods, Tami knew what would best compliment each room. Tami's delightful personality and expertise as a designer made the whole process fun and easy for us. As she guided us in making our selections, Tami worked within our budget and took into consideration our likes and dislikes. The finished products were of excellent quality and completed in a timely fashion. We would highly recommend that you use Tami Smight as your designer.

Working with Tami is an absolute pleasure and delight. She makes it fun and easy. She takes the time to get to know your style and matches her recommendations exactly to your taste and budget. She pays lovely attention to detail and completes every job, big or small, with immaculate attention from the first email, to the last cushion on your new sofa. She is also incredibly honest, generous and kind and helps you find what you are looking for - sometimes recommending websites or stores at better prices if that's what you need. I have used Tami repeatedly for custom draperies, custom bedding, custom/hard to solve decorating challenges (fireplace surrounds and vent hoods), and both indoor and outdoor furniture. I look forward to using her again and again.

Tami Smight was a pleasure to work with. I gave her my vision for my dream bedroom and bathroom and she made it better than I could have imagined. She was extremely organized and professional and had wonderful ideas while always being mindful of my budget. I couldn't recommend her more highly. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

We are so happy that we had Tami do the rooms in our home. She is very professional and does excellent work! The quality is great and she provided me with my samples and gave me plenty of time to decide what was right for each room. If I didn't like the samples, she promptly sent me new ones until we came up with the perfect match for each room. I highly recommend Tami Smight Interiors.

My wife and I were in desperate need of drapery for our living and dining room. We also needed to recover the dining chairs. The task of coordinating all the colors and patterns was daunting. We came to the realization we needed the assistance of a professional. That's when we called Tami Smight Interiors. When we met with Tami for our initial consultation, we knew immediately we were in good hands. Her warm and genuine personality helped to put our decision making anxieties to rest. She really listened to what we were trying to achieve with each space and proposed some great ideas. Our living room has a ceiling height of 17 feet. Tami crafted a beautiful design that has the drapery beginning just below the ceiling and cascading around the 5 windows all the way to the floor. It really took a bland room and gave it depth. Her dining room design accented the living room in spectacular fashion. The installation was flawless. The craftsmanship of the chair upholstery was amazing. Tami's professionalism, talent and promptness made this project a great experience. We highly recommend Tami Smight Interiors.

Very professional! Highest concern for our design needs. We gave her our likes and dislikes and she quickly made several recommendation, and followed up with a flawless installation. Order was timely and pricing was very competitive. Tammi has a flare for knowing what a client wants and provided an attention to detail from start to finish. She took extra time selecting the right shutters, fabric and colors for our window treatments as well as great paint color choices. She always kept us in the loop with follow up contact. I highly recommend her services.

Tami Smight Interiors has done a number of projects around our home in the past few years. She has been professional and has exceeded our expectations each time. Tami has taken my vision in each project and made it a reality. I would highly recommend Tami Smight Interiors to any of my friends and family and look forward to working with her in the future.

My husband and I have worked with Tami Smight for more than ten years. She has helped us with an apartment in Manhattan and homes in the San Francisco Bay Area, Palm Springs, and now in Santa Clarita. Not only has she helped us with our window coverings, she has been invaluable with paint colors, furniture choices, tile and stone selections, not to mention rug and accessory decisions. Working with Tami has always been fun and enlightening. She knows her craft and has an easy way of steering people to the perfect outcome. She listens and gives informed feedback and insight. Her counsel runs the entire gamut in interior design. And we always know the total cost before we order. No surprises. She has been a breath of fresh air to work with and we will for sure work with her again.

We are currently working on two bathroom renovations Tami designed for us. This is the second time we get to work with her. Previously she designed custom draperies and helped us give our family room an update. Her draperies are gorgeous! Tami is very good at seeing your vision and pulling it together professionally and within budget. She provides a complete visual presentation and notebook to follow for purchasing, contacts, etc with an itemized breakdown of the budget to follow. She makes it very easy for someone like me who kind of knows what she wants but gets overwhelmed trying to make too many decisions. She delivered her designs within the time frame she gave us and her contractor referrals are very good. Tami also has great follow through with the projects. We have also found that her designer discounts from local vendors help cover her reasonable design fees so it is a win win.
