Tami Smight Interiors

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!
