The Proposed Plan

One of the best decisions that I made for my home remodel was to hire Swati as my designer. I cannot recommend her highly enough! Working with her was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Her creativity and vision completely exceeded my expectations, bringing fresh and incredible ideas to the table and truly elevated my project. Her accessibility and professionalism is outstanding! She was always available to answer questions, provide updates and ensured everything was running smoothly. She is a rare gem in the design world and I feel fortunate to have found her. If you are looking for someone who is talented, reliable and an absolute joy to collaborate with, look no further. I couldn't be happier and with the results and will absolutely turn to them for future projects.

Swati’s is the best interior designer one could ask for , she is extremely good at her craft, she bring great attention to detail, gives you sound advise and watches for you. We engaged her on project late but she came right in and managed all details right , watched we made right choices in our budget and had many significant decisions that led to top design choices for our home, the Living room is heart of our family and we get several accolades for the house. Thanks Swatis could have not gotten here without you Thank you

Hiring Swati for the new build was the best decision ever. She was instrumental in how the house turned out. Her designs are not only beautiful but very practical and functional. I was very impressed with her professionalism, talent for design, attention to detail and her communication skills. She was so helpful in guiding me through the whole new build process. She was very easy to work with and very responsive anytime I had questions. Thanks to her, I have my dream home and love the space she designed. I feel very fortunate to have found not only a talented interior designer but she is also a nice, kind hearted human being. I highly recommend her.

Swati was a pleasure to work with. She is very easy going but also guides us in the right direction where needed. She helped us bring our vision for our new home to reality. She helped us work through all the rooms, created elevations and went shopping with us to pick out all the finishes. She was available to answer all questions and to meet with contractor. Thank you Swati!

I am a builder and Swati has been my interior designer for all my new homes , addition and remodeling projects. She has created superior designs for my clients. She works closely with clients and creates what they envision. She is very detail person and thinks over of the design implications before ordering the material. All my clients think highly of her work and ideas. I highly recommend her for any size project.

We recently did a full house remodel and addition and engaged Swati for kitchen, all baths and overall exterior and interior design. Her style is modern, clean and very classy which is exactly what we were looking for. She was wonderful in giving us feedback in general about various aspects, some even beyond what was her actual scope of work. She helped identify the right places to shop for based on our requirements, had some great contacts for certain jobs that wasn't in our contractors scope of work, had a great eye for choices of colors and styling, offered great suggestions and ideas. When you are overwhelmed with choices given the scope of work that goes into a remodel of a home, you do need someone with an objective & good eye you can trust and who will work with you to assure what works and what does not. She worked with us based on our requirements and was super supportive in all ways, super fun to shop with, and what I really appreciated about her was the fact that she would graciously accept any feedback or suggestions we made and her ability to accept any oversights that sometimes tend to come with such large projects and offering solutions to take care of it. We loved her professional commitment and ease of communication - super quick always. Swati - it was great working and interacting with you! :)

It was an absolute delight working with Swati! We engaged with her right at the onset of our home renovation project and she did an incredible job guiding us every step of the way. She was extremely patient trying to understand our needs, translating our abstract thoughts into beautiful design options, walking us through every single option, helping us choose the right vendors, tiles, cabinets, decor and numerous other things. She always made time for us whenever we reached out to her, and was always there to do onsite visits and shop visits. She worked with the different contractors on site very closely to ensure all of our requirements/ideas got translated exactly the way we wanted them. We would highly, highly recommend Swati.

Swati is a truly exceptional interior designer with a deep understanding of design principles and trends, a passion for creating functional and beautiful spaces, and a gifted communicator. She is able to clearly explain her design ideas and choices to her us. I recently had the pleasure of working with Swati to complete the renovation of my home, which included a kitchen remodel, bathroom remodel, and new living room and dining room furniture. Swati was a godsend from start to finish. She took the time to understand my needs and budget, and she developed a design plan that perfectly reflected my style. She also provided valuable insights into space planning, material selection, and furniture placement. I am absolutely thrilled with the results of my home renovation. Swati transformed my space into a dream home. She went above and beyond to ensure that I was happy with every detail. If you are considering a remodel project, I highly encourage you to hire an interior designer. It is an investment that you will not regret.

Swati has been amazing to work with from start to finish. We completed a full remodel of our house and we could not have done it without Swati. Best part is that she listens carefully to our family's unique needs and taste and brings it out in the best way possible in the design and finish. She pays meticulous attention to details, especially when picking out materials or working with our contractors directly - this proved extremely helpful when the bathroom tiles were going up, or kitchen cabinets were coming together, without Swati's watchful eyes, many things may have not come together as beautifully as they did. We couldn't be any happier and highly highly recommend Swati... in fact, we wouldn't recommend you move forward with your dream home project without Swati.

Swati worked with us on the rebuild project of our home. In the early phase of project she gave some great suggestions for better utilization of the space. She was always very clear in communications and gave good direction during different phases of the design. Even today when I use my Kitchen, I appreciate all the thoughts she has put into the design considering my requirements. She made very clear elevation plans with details of dimensions which help communicating with the contractor and avoided lot of mistakes. She is an encyclopedia of vendors to get all the materials. Material shopping trips with Swati was a lot of fun. Overall she made the process really stress free for us considering we were doing the home renovation for first time. We will highly recommend Swati for design service for home renovations.

5+ stars for Swati! Originally referred by a friend, we hired Swati to help with a 2-bathroom remodel. This was our first remodel using a designer, and we'll definitely hire Swati for future projects! She was patient with our questions along the way, and was always prepared with creative ideas and solutions. Swati worked to ensure we were happy with the designs and selected materials. Her practical approach was just what we needed! Swati was punctual with her appointments and deadlines. She's organized and effective with time, checking in with us during the remodel process to make sure details were handled correctly. Swati's pricing is quite reasonable and her packages include everything you need for a job well-done. Definitely give her a call to help you out - you won't regret it! Best money spent.

Swati designed our kitchen and two bathrooms and hiring her was one of the best decisions we made for our home remodeling. She patiently listened to what we liked and provided key recommendations which led to outcomes we were very happy with. Her 3D renderings were very helpful in visualizing and she made several revisions based on our feedback. Her detailed plans and excellent communication skills were very helpful during the construction stage for our general contractor. We also appreciated her consultation and expertise on selecting the right materials and fixtures and more importantly the onsite visits which greatly helped with our decision making process.

We hired Swati to remodel our three bathrooms and our family room fireplace. I had learnt a lesson of remodeling our kitchen without a designer and had decided to hire Swati. Given our busy schedule, I can’t imagine remodeling a project without the help of a designer. She doesn’t enforce her views on us but at the same time will guide you in a right direction. She has helped us starting from the plans, choosing tiles to selecting a paint color. We are very happy with the way the project turned out. I highly recommend her for any construction or remodeling projects. Thank you Swati for all your help!!

Working with Swati on our whole-house remodel was one of the best experiences we had while going through a year-long construction project. The first time Swati visited our home and we walked her through our renovation plan, she instantly found areas of optimization that our architect should have thought of. For example, she pointed out that the closet we had planned out could be repurposed as a powder room, giving us more privacy with the rest of the house. Boom! Right there, she made our first interaction so valuable, even though this wasn't part of her scope and we hadn't even signed a contract yet! What sets Swati apart really though is her "how." She adapted her design, material selections and recommendations to our style. She gently nudged us in the right direction while we made our material selections. At times, she unequivocally shot down our incongruous ideas. There were many such examples as we embarked on our partnership; the outcomes of these decisions now give us joy *every single day* as proud homeowners. Partnering with her on our home project was a dream. Swati is a thorough professional and at the same time is warm, adaptable and just knows how to work with a variety of client preferences and tastes. Swati sets a high bar - we would work with her again in a heartbeat.

When we started planning for our home remodeling, we had 'some' idea of how we wanted our bathrooms, drawing room but we had no clue how the kitchen and the family room area could shape up. Swati shaped it up for us and it turned out to be the most admired part of our house. We had no idea that section of the house could be opened up and designed so well. Our entire remodeling project with Swati was very successful and was an extremely pleasant experience.

We did a full remodel of our house. We were very clear on what we wanted to achieve. Even though we were initially hesitating, we decided to hire an interior designer. We discovered Swati through Houzz. We had a great first meeting to go over the project and our esthetic. She was very patient and professional and the price for her services was very reasonable. So we hired Swati to put our vision into a real plan. Initially, we had her do the 3D rendering only for the kitchen area. We were so blown away by what Swati created for the kitchen that we asked her to do the 3D renderings for the living room and master bath also. You can see the rendering below. She was very flexible and worked on a few iterations to get the details in the 3D just the way we wanted. She created a couple of versions of the 3D rendering of the living room that helped us select the staircase railing system. She helped us source the finish material we wanted. She has very good contacts and relationships with vendors. We got the "Swati" discount at these places as well! We also hired the contractor she recommended. She worked with him at the right times in the construction process to make sure all the details were done correctly. We love the way the project turned out. We are very happy we hired Swati to put our vision into a real plan! We highly recommend Swati.

All the rave reviews about Swati are real. I hired Swati, mainly based on rave reviews, to do the Interior design of my new house during the construction process. She got engaged from the beginning on the design of the exterior, the front, the kitchen, the bathrooms, the wall color, the floor, the doors, the lighting and even helping me on my selection of furniture, wall paintings, carpet etc. The end-result is beautiful, comfortable and serene. I am fortunate to have Swati helping me. Swati has good taste, loves what she is doing, friendly to work with. For the amount you invest in re-modelling/re-building your house, the dollar amount invested in an interior designer is small in relation to the total construction budget. However the interior design/the finishing touch is everything you see every day. I know Swati is very popular nowadays, please make sure you engage her before you start your project. Her service will worth your investment for a long time for sure.

Highly recommend Swati! We were remodeling an entire floor of our new house (2 rooms + kitchen, ~1000sqft area, structural changes, >135k$) We knew what we didn't like, but couldn't put a finger on what would make our house functional as well as aesthetically pleasing, while accommodating the needs and limitations of our young, growing family. Enter Swati. She knew what would work, what wouldn't and how to make our wants and desires a reality. She is a true professional. Exceptional communication. Swati adhered to our budget while still getting the best quality products that our money could fetch. She worked incessantly until we were happy with the plans. She held our hands every step of the way. Thinking back, without Swati our project would have not turned out as beautifully as it has. Now that the big project is complete, we can't wait to have Swati back on board to help us with other projects around the house to tie everything together.

Working with Swati was an absolute pleasure. We hired Swati to help us with the interior designing of our home. She was very open to working with our requirements. She helped us achieve a perfect balance of making the space functional and aesthetically pleasing. Her aesthetic sense and attention to detail is impeccable. She was pretty open to shopping in the stores (following all covid restrictions) as well as online options. Due to covid a lot of our items were backlogged, however Swati was very patient and did not rush us into making changes for quick deliveries or quick project closure. We had a wonderful experience working with Swati and I will most certainly recommend her to my friends and family.

If you are looking for a highly knowledgeable and well sourced designer, who has in depth understanding of latest trends, colors, textures and material selection, then Swati is the right fit for you. She is passionate about her work. We hired Swati for an extensive remodel and addition project. Our home came out beyond expectations. Thank you, Swati, for your your help. It would not have been possible without your support.

We hired Swati to do an initial design review of our house plans. She suggested many changes that we loved which we incorporated into our design. During the initial design phase, we were impressed with her professionalism and creativity. After which, we decided to work with her on our project which was a complete remodel and expansion. She helped us with everything from selecting the bathroom hardware, tiles, hardwood floor, kitchen and more.. She also knew when what was required at different stages in the project. This helped us immensely especially during the COVID times as supply and distribution were so delayed. All through the process, we found her to be very detailed, loved her ideas and she always provided multiple options. She was also very easy to work with. She never forced her opinion on us but at the same time, she kept us anchored. So if you're looking for a great designer, you won't go wrong with Swati. Our home looks wonderful all thanks to her. Suffice to say, we would highly recommend Swati.

We discovered Swati on Houzz and hired her early in our remodeling project. Right from the get go, we were impressed with her professionalism and eye for design. She reviewed our plans before city approval and made some critical suggestions that improved the overall design and flow of the plan. Once the permit was approved, she engaged with us on the structure of the interior design. I was keen on a modern look and feel but as we worked through, she helped me realize that farmhouse modern was what really appealed to me. Keeping this theme in mind, she worked very closely with us on all aspects of the fixtures and introduced us to her network of vendors and suppliers. Each one of them was very professional and she helped us quite a bit on making the right selections amongst the myriad of choices: flooring, windows, plumbing, doors, tiles, countertops, appliances, etc. In each of these interactions, her clarity of the design and her sensitive approach to making these choices came through. She also followed up actively and helped get attention from the busy vendors who were overwhelmed with the pandemic related supply chain demands. Everything came together delightfully as she put together an amazing interior design with paint selections, color palettes, furniture choices, and accents. Her work won rave reviews from many of our friends. Our general contractor (and many subcontractors) also told us he was quite proud of the work she/they did and how it all came together; which is high praise! I highly recommend Swati for your design projects.

While we were initially on the fence when it came to engaging a designer for a full house remodel, the idea of having to make tens of decisions on a daily basis for 3+ months (duration of the remodel) and being able to live with the consequences for the foreseeable future seemed extremely daunting; which inevitably lead us to the next big decision of finding a designer who is compatible with our design preferences, collaborative & organized, detail-oriented, flexible with their availability, and economical. Not only did Swati fit the bill (...and I honestly didn't think that we could find someone that would meet all our criteria!), but she went above and beyond with her well-thought-out recommendations for kitchen layout, wet bar, breakfast nook, fireplaces, bathrooms, flooring, lighting plan etc.. Swati was able to clearly outline the schedule of activities that needed to occur in order to meet the contractor's milestones while accounting for COVID-19 related shipping delays and was more than willing to accommodate the multiple site and store visits based on our limited availability, which we are very appreciative of! And thanks in no small part to her well-established relationships with the vendors that we were referred to for cabinets/tiles & stones/hardware, the entire experience ranging from store visit to parts selection to order placement was streamlined due to Swati's high touch engagement and coordination efforts. Overall, looking back at the series of events from home buying to remodeling, it's safe to say that we have never been this content with parting with our money :-) to secure Swati's invaluable services!! Swati has been an absolute pleasure to work with and we would gladly recommend her to anyone that's looking for a designer with a fine eye for aesthetics and client considerations!

I am working with Swati for the 2nd time in 3 yrs..first time was when we built a new home and recently when we added a new sunroom! Swati is extremely professional, flexible, patient and very creative. She is easy to work with, takes time to understand my likes/dislikes and works well with the contractors, and vendors. I love her easy going no pressure style and hiring her as a designer has helped us build a dream home that we enjoy each day. Cannot wait to hire her services for our next project!

We worked with Swati Sinha on our home remodeling and addition project in 2020. We are very happy with her services. She is creative, meticulous, organized designer. Two meetings with her she got a grasp on our needs / wants. At every step of the project she was exemplary in every thing she designed for us. She was involved in selecting all finishes for Bathroom, Kitchen, Family room, Living room, bedrooms. After selecting finishes her fabulous design renderings gave us view of our house would look inside and outside. Without any doubts she is best designer we have worked with. We recommend to a friend and to date they hired her services on designing. Thank you Swati for all your help and best wishes for all future projects. Feel free to post pictures of our finished house.

Swati is truly the best- Swati helped us with designing our custom home in San Jose. She has so much knowledge on recent trends, contrasts, colors and designs that over the period of time, we became very confident about the final look of our house. But most importantly, she guided us for every change related to interiors and exteriors, responded to all our emails, visited the property regularly and always guided us when we got confused in certain decisions. She also has the knack of understanding her client's preferences and designing the home accordingly. I can proudly say that Swati was the best addition to our house construction team. I cannot imagine how we would have been able to build a home of our dreams without her support. We are already recommending Swati to all our friends and we are really thankful to her for her support while building our home. And last but not the least, because of Swati we got discounts at many places which did save us significant amount of money. Overall, because of Swati, our experience to build the home became less stressful and more creative.

Swati was recommended to us by a friend. After a period of hesitation ( from my side that lasted a meeting I think )...we clicked :) ! Swati has simple, elegant and beautiful design ideas. She was very open to incorporating my ideas and married them to hers so seamlessly. She was always very clear and confident about her suggestions and steered me away from making "boring" or "common" choices. In this project, which was my very first, we made a few bold decisions ( black tiles on wall, patterned ceramic tile on floor ) about some color schemes in one bathroom, but they all came out beautifully in the end. We received many compliments on the overall design of the house. Since we were building a spec home, we wanted to appeal to a larger audience with color and design and with Swati's inputs we were successful in reaching that goal. Few things I like about her are constant calmness, punctuality with deliverables, clarity of information and promptness of getting back to me with anything I have to ask. She is a valuable partner and team member to me in our construction journey as we continue to build more spec homes and hopefully our home one day. Thank you Swati, all the very best to you !! - Shachi & Vic

Swati is by far the most passionate and informed interior designer in the bay area. She not only has design talent, but a grasp of the trade industry. We highly recommend her services if your considering a home renovation or remodel. Thumbs way up.

Swati is amazing!!! She helped with our house renovation project. We had a good conversation initially about our project and our style and what we are expecting the renovation to be. Over the past few months she helped us through every step, starting from paint selection to minute details of interior decor and bedding. She is a thorough professional and tries to understand clients' budget and taste and provides design and decor options accordingly. Very flexible and accommodating with appointments. I am short of words to describe her work and how amazing our house turned out to be. I strongly recommend her!! Looking forward to working with her soon in the next project.

Great experience working with Swati, had lots of good ideas to share on interior wall colors, tile selection for the fire place, kitchen, bath countertops and wall papers for focus walls. Very patient and pleasant to work with, always on time for the appointments. Highly recommend Swati for interior design projects.

We needed help with a small project for our place during shelter in place. We saw Swati’s profile and knew we didn’t want anyone else. Swati was incredibly flexible even during that time. Swati is a knowledge hub for anything home decoration. She not only shared that knowledge but ensured that we took some time to figure out what we want. Our project was low budgeted and Swati was very considerate of that. At the same time, she made sure we didn’t buy anything low quality. Thanks Swati for all your incredible work!

Swati has a very good eye for design. She is very detailed and pro-active and helps make decisions quickly. We have highly recommended her to several of our friends as well!

We worked with Swati for a major interior remodel over the past year. Swati's professionalism and quality were impeccable throughout the process. From the initial design, material selection to working with the contractors, and ensuring the design translated to reality - she managed it all. She worked around our constraints and did not rush us throughout the process. The thing that stood out to me was her grasp on color combinations & design and her ability to pull different elements together and create a cohesive vision. I would recommend her highly.

We worked with Swati for a kitchen + bath remodel for our home and would highly recommend her for any construction/design project - she provided us with multiple plans for our kitchen remodel since we were considering a structural change at the time along with an option for redoing the kitchen without requiring to demolish any walls. Once we picked a plan, she helped us navigate all the different choices that we had to make for purchasing materials (tiles/countertops/plumbing and lighting fixtures etc.) while keeping in mind our design aesthetic. She is extremely detail oriented and very proactive with following up on progress of the work. She was also very responsive to questions that we had along the way. Her fees were also very reasonable for the effort that she put into the whole process. Given that we had no prior experience of going through a major remodel, we are extremely thankful for Swati's help during this project.

Swati helped us with interior design on our house remodeling project. For a complete house remodel it was a daunting task. Swati made the whole process simple, and ensured everything went smoothly for us. She gave design, color, and texture recommendations for each space, based on our taste and style. We couldn't be any more happier and proud of the final outcome. We highly recommend Swati for she is diligent, easy to work with and honest.

We reached out to Swati for interior decoration, its our first home. We needed some help in decorating and furnishing our master bedroom, living and dining area. We feel it was a very good decision to go with The Proposed Plan. It is so easy to work with Swati. She is good at grasping what we like and provides brilliant suggestions as per our budget. She is very efficient during the store visits and knows exactly what fits to the overall theme and color. Her recommendations are top class and our house has turned out to be very beautiful, thanks to Swati.

It was great working with Swati for our house project. We had bought a house which needed a complete overhaul. We were on a very aggressive timeline and she more than accommodated us. She listened attentively to our needs and came up with brilliant solutions. She is very easy to work with and very responsive. She has great ideas and suggestions. We would highly recommend Swati. Thank you Swati!!

I've been part of the design industry for more than 15 years, and it's seldom I meet other professionals that leave such an impression, so this review is long overdue. I met Swati back in 9/2018, I had no idea then, she is one of the most popular /most talented designers in the bay area, and probably the country. Swati is a brilliant, with an exceptional eye, immaculate attention to detail, and to say her projects are jaw dropping, is a major understatement. Swati understands that every homeowner wants to have a unique space, designed just for their personality and way of life. I don't recall ever seeing the same pattern/ design in any 2 projects. she spares no time or effort to create beautiful, inspiring spaces. Swati's incredible eye is matched only by her technical knowledge of what works and what doesn't on a job site, and not just on paper, that alone is a priceless skill. She is my first recommendation when asked about a designer, and everyone else is a far 2nd.

I am very happy to write this review for Swati. She gave us our dream home which we now thoroughly enjoy! Given the state of the bay area housing market, we landed a semi functional home in Sunnyvale a few years ago and at the time of buying though we loved the location, the home had much to be worked on. We interviewed ~5 different professionals. Swati was by far the best. She was able to patiently hear our vision of our ideal home and get all the ideas together to make a plan where spaces blend well very with each other! One important thing I noticed in her first visit, she was genuinely interested in knowing what we wanted to do rather than start suggesting ideas or criticize our current space. She helped us with out plans, helped us connect with a good structural engineer and worked hand in hand with our contractor to make sure it all happened per plan. Everything from the architectural plans making right use of our space, color of the walls/floor/tiles and the furniture complements each other very well. She is very detail oriented and caught a couple of small changes between the plan and how our contractor executed it which would have certainly gone unnoticed from us. Swati, was ALWAYS reachable for advice during our engagement with her firm and also accompanied us to select accessories for the home. With so many choices to make, she helped us narrow down the right piece every single time! We enjoyed working with her, at no point did she push us to make a decision in a rush or something we weren't comfortable. She was always deeply interested in what would make this house our ideal home. I can't thank you enough Swati, we love our space.

Swati helped us design the living room and family room fireplaces and wall colors of our new home. She was very professional throughout the entire process and explained all the steps along the way. She listened to our requirements at the beginning and was able to come up with great design ideas based on our taste and at the same time help us think out of the box on some ideas. She has an amazing design sense and was able to explain explain her ideas using pictures which help ed us visualize what it would look like. She was very responsive and ready to answer all our questions right till the end. Overall, I would say it was a pleasure to work with Swati and she did an awesome job in making our home beautiful! I would highly recommend her!

Swati is a designer with an astute sense of aesthetics. Her personable nature and willingness to help makes her a fantastic person to work with!

Swati is an amazing designer who has a great aesthetic sense and the same time provides practical solutions. Thanks to her, our interior remodel proceeded smoothly. She gave great ideas & suggestions for remodeling both our kitchen and bathroom while keeping budget in mind. Her commitment, attention to detail is unbelievable. She delivered what she promised within the timeline. If you are looking for a designer, go no further!

Swati helped me answer specific questions I had with regard to tiling and lights. Since I had selected a lot of these things myself, I wanted help on some areas where I was undecided. Although, I worked with Swati for just a couple hours, she was a pleasure to work with and helpful in addressing questions and concerns I had about my home finish selection.

Swati is very talented and easy to work with. We loved her design ideas and are happy with how our rooms look better now with her input. She paid attention to what we liked and wanted while redecorating our home office, bedrooms, and family room. Swati guided us in picking the right furniture and color palette. It was a pleasure working with her and we definitely would recommend her to family and friends. Thank you, Swati.

I can't say enough good things about Swati! My boyfriend and I found her after working with a general contractor on the plans for our remodel. After they promised us they would be able to assist with the design, we just weren't excited about the plans and we didn't feel like they understood our vision. A little depleted, we looked for a designer, and could not have been more fortunate. We found Swati! Swati met with us to better understand our ideas and based on our discussion, had our plans revamped and ultimately available for us to "see," using her computer software, with a few different options for us to choose from. It was so helpful for us to be able to actually see what the end result would look like. It wasn't enough for us to go off of the plans themselves. As novices, without the eye for design, that was really the icing on the cake. Swati is direct and efficient. She was timely and her services were within our budget. In our busy schedules, we needed someone who was easy to work with and followed through, true to her word. We found that in Swati. Despite the fact that we had not initially planned on using a designer and had not budgeted for it, Swati's services were well worth the addition and we will continue to use her as we get into the construction. Unfortunately we had to pause our work due to COVID, but we can't wait to get started. Our only regret is that we didn't find Swati at the very beginning of our design process because I think she would have been even more helpful had we not already started with the contractor. For anyone starting a remodel, I highly recommend STARTING with SWATI and THEN hiring people to do the work. Our project will end up being more than $100,000, but not Swati's services...just want to be clear. We had other designers quote us with nebulous prices like, "Oh, it may be around this much...." But Swati told us exactly how much her services would cost and that did not change. She is true to her word and really came through with her product!

Swati did a great job with my project. I appreciated her professionalism, responsiveness and attention to detail. I had very specific ideas about how I wanted things to look and she helped me draft the plans and come up with creative design solutions. She has my recommendation!

I thought I didn't need a designer until I went shopping with Swati! She also spent a lot of effort in showing me several options for accessories. She is very flexible and worked with my taste and choices. Thanks Swati or making the remodel less painful.

When we decided to remodel our house (along with an addition), we started looking for someone who could help us as an architect as well as an interior designer. Swati's reviews on Houzz had us get in touch with her immediately. She was the only architect we met - we did not feel the need to look for any more architects because from the first meeting itself, Swati understood what we wanted, and we felt like we would enjoy working with her. Several years ago, we once had attempted to embark on a remodel (but never got started). At the time we had met a couple of architects. They would come to meet us at our house and start criticizing and pointing out inadequacies in the house (yes, we knew all of that which is why the remodel!). When Swati first came to our house, she was excited about the possibilities in the house. Never once was she critical of anything. That positivity and hope that she gave us got us excited about the project as well. We did a full remodel and an addition. Swati came up with the plans and worked with the city to get all permits. Ours is an old house, so there were some questions that came up because of the new city code. She ensured those were taken care of by visiting the city planning officials and getting clarifications from them. She is always available to answer questions and accommodate changes to the plan based on our preferences. Once construction started, she would visit the site regularly and even pointed out things that the contractor had missed. The most exciting phase of the project was picking the interior finishes. We are no designers, and were not familiar with design lingo like 'modern', 'contemporary', etc. But Swati was quick to understand what our preferred style was and came up with mood boards that reflected that. (Now I know that it is called 'mid-century modern' :)). She came shopping with us for everything from the floor, to the tiles, the fixtures, handles, kitchen cabinets. Like her design recommendations, her vendor recommendations are also spot on. I would like to stress on the word 'recommendations' because Swati was never pushy about the choices. She would lay the options before us, discuss the design pros and cons and let us make the decision. So our home today feels like it was designed by us, for us. That is the best part of working with Swati - her design choices are impeccable, and she gives you guidelines which help you make the choices based on your style and personality. Today our home feels so warm, cozy and serene just like we wanted it. It has all come together beautifully! Thank you Swati, for making our dream home a reality and beyond!

I found Swati at this site and was very happy to work with her. Swati is always very attentive to her clients wishes and needs and has great ideas. Her color sensibility is amazing. I found it a joy to work with Swati and would highly recommend her if you are looking for a great interior. Thank you Swati for our beautiful new house!!

Swati was the architect for our remodel project and also helped us with interior design of the new space. Our project involved the addition of a master bedroom suite and minor remodel of 2 bedrooms. Swati was very easy to work with, responsive and punctual. She was very patient with any changes we suggested on the architectural plans. We really appreciated how she worked within the tight timeline that we had for the project. During the construction phase, she was always available to answer any questions we had. During design Swati was mindful of our preferences while also making creative and practical suggestions. She helped us reach decisions fast and in the end things have turned out to our great satisfaction. We would gladly recommend Swati to anyone looking for an architect or an interior designer for their project.

Swati is amazing! My husband and I could not come together on a color scheme or materials for our kitchen remodel. We were under pressure because our contractor had already started the prep work and needed paint colors. Someone at the design center recommended Swati and she was able to meet with us the very next day. She helped us select the perfect color scheme and materials. We were are delighted with our selections which Swati suggested. She was also quick to respond when minor design queationes arose and it was very comforting to know we had her on our side. We would 100% recommend her for any design project.

Swati is great to work with! We worked with her on our home remodel project that involved kitchen remodeling and addition of a new living room. When we engaged Swati,we were initially leaning towards limiting design options based on structural constraints. She listened to our requirements carefully and then brainstormed design options to cater to our needs. She also gave us the confidence to include structual changes in our design and shared her experiences and also helped consult contractors to check feasibiiy and cost estimates. She worked with us patiently to make sure we finalize a design that we are perfectly happy with. She helped with city permits, working on finalizing contractor, following up with structual engineer etc. She was deeply involved with our project end-end starting with design all the way to final finishing touches. She is pretty resourceful and provided recommendations regarding stores for finished materials and made sure she spent time with us to pick out the same. I would highly recommend Swati for your architecture design needs.

Swati design our daughter’s bathroom and kitchen remodel. In our first meeting, Swati would ask us what our goals and tastes are for the remodel. Then she would send us concepts and layouts of the design. Once my daughter, wife, and I made our choices, we went shopping! The great thing about Swati was she took us to places where the material matched the concept and the prices that closely to our budget. She listened patiently to my daughter and guided her through her bathroom remodel. When my husband and I disagreed, she helped mediate though I think Swati sided with me more:) Through the design process, it felt very organized and professional. Whenever we had a question which was numerous, she would response promptly. When we look at our bathroom and kitchen now, we are extremely happy. It reminds us of kitchens and bathrooms you find in model homes. My husband has already recommended her to his friend and we would do so when our acquaintances are doing a remodel.

Swati was WONDERFUL to work with! She has a great sense of color and space. My home was somewhat Blah before and now brings a huge smile to my face when I walk in. She shopped with us on multiple occasions helping to pick out items like countertops, paint, wallpaper and furniture. She was very patient and able to guide us when I got a bit overwhelmed with the process. Loved working with her and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to remodel their home. ....I am adding before and after photos to show the difference.

I can't express how impressively Swati dealt with every aspect of our project. She is passionate, professional, thorough, knowledgeable, and extremely friendly. She was very meticulous in her steps towards designing and completing our project .She is such a talented designer/architect who genuinely cares about their work. I will not hesitate to refer her to my friends anytime in future.

Swati helped us with our brand new investment property project. She is a great professional and provides both architectural and design services which comes in really handy as she understands both aspects very well. She came with great ideas and suggestions and was very accessible throughout the project. She helped with the whole county/permit process and coordinated with the structural/civil/surveyor etc to make the whole process very smooth. During the construction phase she followed up on various steps to make sure that everything was proceeding per plan. As part of her interior design services she helped in choosing most of the interior finishes by visiting multiple stores with us. We highly recommend Swati for her Architectural and design services and hope to work with her in our future projects.

Swati is a very professional, knowledgeable and creative designer. I have known her for few years now and have been working with her on few of her projects when she needs cabinetry for kitchen or other rooms of the house. Her vision is very clear and she has a great sense of space, material and color. It’s always a pleasure to collaborate with her. I highly recommend her.

We wanted to add a bathroom and expand our living hall. Swati did awesome job in remodelling our old bedroom in bathroom and walk-in closet. She added new master bedroom with vaulted ceiling. We were amazed the way she designed the master bedroom suite. Our living hall was small, she expanded our living hall and helped us in having formal dining room. She completely changed the look of the house and I can confidently say the entrance of our home is one of the best in the whole street. Swati is very responsible, punctual and dedicated to her work with high integrity. She designed our home and also helped us in permit plan. She took care of resolving all the queries raised by permit checker. Our contractor has queries at multiple phases of construction and she was always available to resolve his queries and that helped in the expedite construction. She has visited our home multiple times to check the quality of construction and guided us with her feedback. We are grateful that we got a chance to work with you on our home project.

Swati is a true professional when it comes to design and is always open to take inputs and go to any depth to pick out the perfect pieces to complete the design puzzle. She is very meticulous, diligent and always stays on top of things. Although she had couple other clients at the same time as us she always found a way to make enough time for all. She is super responsive and any idea we described to her with an abstract image in our mind she would instantly respond back with a picture of exactly what we wanted and how we could enhance on that! Overall we had a wonderful experience working with Swati and I would recommend her without a blink of an eye!

We engaged Swati for the remodel project of our house that required structural change, space designing, architecture and upgrade of our kitchen, bedrooms, stair area, baths, front porch, and buildout of deck. This also required getting permits from the city and coordination with the structural engineering team. The project took about 6 months to complete. Working with Swati was amazingly great and she helped us through the entire project lifecycle from suggestions on new good ideas, to designing interior space, to creative rehaul of the existing space, to hand holding with selection of project items, getting permit, providing detailed designs for interior decor, tiling, painting etc. She was always energetic, fresh on ideas and taking us through multitude of options in the decisioning cycle. She is resourceful and many a times stepping up beyond what we had scoped for. Sunil (my spouse) and I had a great experience working with her and particularly having her guidance throughout in seeing our project to completion. We are very happy with where we stand on the upgrade project and do thank her for all the support and professionalism. Thank you Swati.

We consulted Swati for the interior design of our home. She is incredible to work with, and is flexible & open to incorporate our suggestions/ideas in her design. She recommended showroom for us to shop for our furniture & was patient enough to spend approximately 3 hours in helping us select the furniture pieces. She is also very prompt in responding to our queries regarding the design. Swati will always be our first choice for our upcoming home projects and we will strongly recommend her to our family & friends.

We have worked with Swati and her clients for many years, and this partnership results in a successful design and a more engaged homeowner. Swati has a depth of design that covers many levels and provides excellent customer attention. Thank you, Swati, for continuing to collaborate with us.

Swati is an exceptionally smart, hard working and professional Interior Design firm. They are constantly on the forefront of trends in the industry and provides excellent customer service. Their attention to detail, brilliant design ideas and understanding of client needs helped bring to life many diverse and fantastic projects. I highly recommend Proposed Plan as your destination for your Interior Design needs.

Swati was excellent to work with. She gave great design ideas, worked with city to resolve all comments and obtain the permit. She was quick to respond to questions, explained all details and in a nutshell your best partner in our complex new construction project. I would happily recommend Swati to my family members in any new or remodel projects

We recently worked with Swati for our Kitchen/Family Room and first floor design/remodel. Our project was a fairly complex one as it included removal of a shear wall and complete remodeling of the kitchen/family room area around that. Swati worked with us tirelessly with early design prototyping, multiple iterations of space planning, architectural drawings, getting the permits, permit iterations, talking to the contractor and the structural engineering firms, finish material shopping, furniture shopping and everything else in between. The best thing we liked about Swati is her professionalism and and ability to always be on top of things. She is always available to answer your questions even if its a late night/ weekend/ short notice. Swati listens carefully and tries to come up with a plan that works for the homeowner's budget and taste. She will provide valuable feedback and input when needed. At the same time making sure our choices are also considered and ultimately let us make the final decision as homeowners. Swati also has many contacts in the design and construction industry and gave us many referrals when it came to choosing the construction and the structural engineering firms and each of them are top notch. Again, she gave only references because we as first time remodelers did not have much idea about the right people. She always made sure to give honest feedback of her contacts and we were impressed with the quality of referrals she gave us. I highly attribute our project's completion and success to Swati. Our kitchen would not have been the same if Swati was not involved in the project. She really goes above and beyond the scope of work and makes sure the homeowner is satisfied and happy at the end of the day and aims for High Customer Satisfaction as a professional . It was a pleasure working with Swati. We would highly recommend Swati as an architect/designer for your next home remodeling project. We would definitely be working again with Swati for our future home projects. Sincerely, Ratul and Tanushree.

It gives us great pleasure to say a few words about Swati Sinha of The Proposed Plan organization. We engaged Swati to design & architect the secondary (or granny) unit (small but separate house) we were building on our primary property. Right from the get go what impressed us most about Swati was her professionalism and promptness. She thoroughly understood what we were looking for, helped us in visualizing and understanding several options that she proposed for the unit's design, and made it easy to lock down the final choice. Her rates also were very reasonable, so we felt comfortable in engaging her. While she has an engineering firm that she works with closely, she never imposed that on us which we greatly respected. But, by going with the engineering firm she works with, it made the whole permit application process very streamlined. In fact, almost all the interactions with the engineering from were through her, saving us that additional time and effort. She also managed the permit application process with the city of San Jose (where our property is located) and the couple of times they asked for changes she was very, very prompt in responding to them (and coordinating with the eng firm where needed) thus ensuring the application was promptly refiled. This is where we very really impressed - she actually regularly followed up on the online status and let us know that the approval was imminent which allowed us to begin engaging the contractor. Even during construction , when her work is already completed, she periodically followed up on progress and even made site visits to check for herself. Based on this level of professionalism, caring and promptness we have no hesitation in highly recommending Swati for any of your construction architecture work. Rima & Murthy Nemali

We hired swati to help with our new construction. She did an excellent job. She is always available and very dedicated to her work. Her color coordination and imagination on how things look together is commendable. She was always with in our budget and picks things based on our tastes. Our house looks amazing and we receive lot of compliments. Hiring her is one of the best decisions we have made in this stressful house building process.

We recently bought a house and would like to remodel our kitchen, bathrooms, and lightings. We needed a designer to draft our existing floor plan and a new floor plan. We happened to meet Swati (Proposed Plan) through the referral from an architect. Swati was very professional, flexible, and responsive. She handled all of our change requests in a very short amount of time. On top of that, her pricing is very reasonable. We felt that she provided a lot of work for the amount of money she charged us. Furthermore, she is knowledgeable about the city requirements. She guided us to get the necessary calculations needed to get the plan approved right away. We got the approval stamp from the city in one shot. Side note: When we were at the city to submit our plan, there was another designer stood next to us to submit the plan for a bathroom remodel as well. The city planner actually used her plan as an example to show another designer what a great design looks like. :) We are very happy with the excellent work that Swati from Proposed Plan provided. We would absolutely recommend her to any of our friends and family for future design work.

The pics below represent pre-remodel. Once remodel is complete, new pics will be added. Swati was responsive in meeting with my wife and I to discuss our kitchen remodel within a week of contacting her. She brought back our proposal to let us know that our design was not feasible because of city code regulations, but she came with an alternative plan that was within the building code requirements. This involved adding structural engineering plans that were a challenge, but Swati was there every time at the city building department to re-submit plans. I found Swati to be patient, understanding and able to offer creative ideas and helpful suggestions to reach our renovation goal that included a kitchen, dining and family room remodel as well as installing recessed lighting throughout the first floor. We had communication on numerous occasions to get through challenges with the structural engineering firm and Swati acted as a frequent intermediary. Now construction can begin. Thank you Swati for a job well done!

We recently had a wonderful experience working with Swati from Proposed Plan to design extension of our house. She did an excellent job with the architecture. At the very beginning, Swati gathered all inputs from us to better understand our needs and vision. Subsequently, she gave us numerous design choices and iterate through them countless times to ensure they satisfy our needs. Throughout the process, she was extremely flexible and open to new ideas and suggestions. Overall we found Swati extremely professional, creative, responsive and passionate about her work. I strongly recommend her as an architect for any new house or remodelling work.

We had worked with Swati to remodel our tiny bathroom and kitchen. Swati worked tirelessly on the design and was always open for any suggestions we had. She also helped us pick all the finishes which was such a big help since this was our first remodeling project. She is very detailed and thorough with her work. Our bathroom and kitchen turned out way better than we had envisioned! We are extremely happy with her service and would definitely work again with her in future if needed!

Swati is incredible to work with, listening to our desires and modifying the design based on our feedback . She has a good sense of spatial orientation, and color scheme. She helped me in the interior design of the entire house and created a baby room for my son matching up to my imagination which we absolutely loved it. She is always on top of her Project. I have no doubt that her attention to detail helped the process go smoothly. I would highly recommend her. Totally worth the investment!

Swati hired me to photograph her work for her website redesign. Over the course of two months we photographed many projects at different sites she completed for her clients. It was a great pleasure working with Swati as she is easy to work with and communicates well. I look forward to our on going working relationship together as her projects are beautiful!

Finding a great Interior Designer can be a challenge! Principal Designer, Swati Sinha from Proposed Plan is very creative, detail oriented, a true professional with an extraordinary sense of design and space personalized to your style and taste. She carefully goes over the design process, is truly ‘full service’ and she has sources for absolutely everything. I am always happy to refer Swati to my clients who are looking for great style, home remodels and home additions. If you want your dream and vision to be a reality, hire Swati and leave everything in her able hands.

We had hired The Proposed Plan - Swati Sinha to help restructure and rebuild our addition in Fremont. Swati has been professional, courteous and responsive to our needs. We found that Swati welcomed all our inputs and even provided great suggestions that we incorporated in our project. The detailed drawings and her being patient through the iterations really helped us visualize our options. She worked on all the plans - architectural, roof, elevation, etc to get the permit drawings in place. She also worked very closely with the structural engineer and contractor to ensure that all of them were aligned. Our project was approved by the city without any issues and we credit Swati for being detailed and thorough in her work. She was available throughout the course of the entire project and ensured that any questions during construction stage was resolved. Swati was a pleasure to work with and through our experience together, we highly recommend The Proposed Plan - Swati Sinha to design your new home or renovations.

We worked with Swati on our home remodeling project. She helped us throughout the process from coming up with the floor plans, roof plan, elevation, preparing permit packages. She is an amazing interior designer as well. She is very keen on design elements and lends her best expertise while accommodating our needs/suggestions.

Swati is very diligent and articulate. I clearly knew what I wanted and she helped me execute my vision to the T. I can be very particular about what I want and Swati was very patient and was always available with her inputs regarding our choices. The best thing about Swati is that she never gets tired of iterations and never shies away from working with you multiple times on anything. She is always on time and gives her ample attention when she comes shopping with you. Also, Swati does her research very well and offers great ideas. My husband and I are delighted to work with her and can vouch for her any day. She is a pleasure to work with. Good luck Swati.

When we decided to start a complete remodel of our home, I knew that I wanted to make the major design decisions. However, as my family and I were going through the process, we couldn’t agree on any design ideas! I felt that I needed an expert to bring all of my family member’s wide-ranging tastes into a one cohesive design. Swati was exactly the expert that we needed. The first time she came over, we spent 2 hours together reviewing ideas and discussing what we all liked about each one. We showed her blue prints of how the home was being constructed and showed her pieces of furniture that we absolutely wanted to keep. Quickly, she developed a general sense of what each of us liked. She would send over idea’s and was open to our feedback, she suggested different design choices that we wouldn’t have thought of or color concepts that we didn’t think initially went together. She recommended showrooms for us to go see and made several trips with us to these showrooms to finalize the materials for our kitchen cabinets, flooring, fireplace, and bathroom. Once we had the major stuff picked out, she came over and helped us decide on paint choices and furniture selection. She narrowed down the paint selection to a few which made the process so much smoother. She suggested teal for our focal living room wall, which we were nervous about - we receive so many compliments on this! I used to think working with a designer was a luxury. Swati made me realize if you are going to do any significant remodel, having a professional assist you is critical. Without her guidance, I don’t think we would have been able to design a beautiful modern- traditional yet unique looking home that we love coming home to.

Swati did an amazing job transforming our dated home into a functional stylish and beautiful space. I am constantly told how amazing the house looks. Our biggest concern was going over budget as with all remodeling projects but Swati found the right contractor and helped us choose the right materials to stay on budget. We had some left over for some cool furniture pieces too ! Overall extremely satisfied with the whole experience! I recommend her to all my friends and many have since used her as well.

Working with Swati is amazing, She is fast friendly and accommodating. As a contractor with a retail showroom my time is valuable, and in incredibly short supply. When ever I have a client that is uncertain about picking materials or colors I am always happy to refer them to Swati. I know they will recieve great service and great advise from a industry professional who knows exactly what she is doing. Swati has impeccable taste weather you have a modest home in Willow Glen or a mansion in Atherton I am certain you will be more than pleased with the design services from Swati Sinha.

We worked with Swati on our kitchen remodel project. Swati understood our needs and presented us with various detailed design options. Be it back splash or paint color, her eye for details and color coordination is impeccable. Thanks to Swati we have a beautiful and very functional kitchen. I would highly recommend Swati and her team for any new/remodel projects.

We recommend Swati with our highest praise! We hired Swati to work with us on a new construction home we purchased in Feb 2015 and moved into in March 2016. Swati was with us from the start for each phase of builder selections including cabinetry, flooring and tile selection for 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, living and dining areas. We had an idea of the look we wanted to achieve in each of the areas and she was able to suggest color schemes and design elements at each phase keeping in mind the future of furniture selection, lighting, paint and decor that would be needed to complete each area's look. Once the home was built, she helped us with the completion of each room and provided wonderful personalized service that kept our budget in mind while giving us a unique home that was beyond our expectations. She would accompany us to all our homebuilder appointments as well as shopping appointments at retailers around the Bay Area. Her knowledge base and creative ability to visualize the overall design of a family home with small kids while still incorporating unique elements was invaluable. We have the perfect home now and receive multiple wonderful compliments. Swati was professional, always available, and we felt like she truly had a vested interest and joy in working with us on this project as if it was her own home.

When we bought our new home, we needed help in picking the colors, decorating and in furnishing the house for that cozy feel. Swati came to the rescue. She quickly assessed my taste and budget and in no time our project was up and going. We are very happy with the results and would definitely recommend her.

This being our first major remodel to our home of 15 years, the planning and execution was a very daunting task for us because it included our Kitchen, Living room and Family room. We were not sure whether the decisions we take was going to be correct. That is when we met Swati at a booth in an event in Cupertino. Working with Swati was the best decision we took. She helped us with the planning, designing and working with our contractor throughout the project. She came up with practical ideas for our Kitchen. She recommended the stores from where we could buy materials and accompanied us while we shopped for appliances, flooring other major purchases for our project. Swati was always punctual for all appointments and was clear in all her communications. We highly recommend Swati for your home projects.
