Tami Smight Interiors

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 !
