Tranquil Designs LLC

We had Deri design the downstairs of our home. She presented us with numerous options and made many suggestions that were in line with the overall design concept that we were trying to create. She was great at making contemporary and timeless suggestions but most importantly she was mindful of remaining within our established budget. Deri and her entire staff were very professional and all her preferred contractors and vendors were A+ in quality. She was very attentive to our needs and completed our project within the estimated timeline. Deri was a joy to work with. We asked her to make our house a home and she did just that and more. We would recommend her to anyone in need of quality design services.

Deri is heaven sent. I recently purchased my home and felt overwhelmed with the task of decorating. I started my search for an interior decorator and was drawn to her style. Deri came to my home, sat with me and discussed ideas she had. I knew right away I could trust her and she would be a perfect fit for my project. Deri took my vision and brought it to life, she even pushed me to go a little out of my comfort zone and I am so happy I listened. It has been my absolute pleasure working with Deri. I feel like I have known her for years. The feeling I have everyday when I walk into my home is of pure joy. Deri turned my empty house into a FABULOUS home. I am so thankful. I could not have achieved this without her.

We chose Deri because she has a beautiful, classic, timeless style. We felt that with her help we could achieve a look that reflects our lifestyle with a level of sophistication that we could not do on our own. And she delivered!! As first timers, we were excited, yet nervous. Deri listened to our aspirations for our home and nudged us outside our comfort zone to create a design that captured all we had hoped and more. Our home is beautiful and functional. We LOVE it! Our kids LOVE it! Thank you, Deri, for making our house home!

This was my first time working with an interior designer. I am a control freak and Deri never let on that I was probably getting on her nerves. She is a professional and has a great ability to take what you have and combine it with new and exciting pieces that turns your house into a dream home. She worked within my very strict budget. My family and friends loved my new home because the decor. I highly recommend Deri Washington. She is talented, a professional, and very creative with an eye for beauty. You will not be sorry when you choose Tranquil Designs.

My wife and I searched for a home for over three years. Once we found a house that we both loved, then we were met with the challenge of remodeling. Of all the homes we visited, not one of the newer models met our expectations. So, we settled on an older home because of the space it afforded and it’s character. However, there was quite a bit of work needing to be done to make the house our own. Hence the task of finding an interior decorator that would take our project and make it her own while still meeting our expectations. After three weeks of searching and interviewing, we found Deri Washington. We live in Wilmington, NC and settled on a designer in Raleigh, NC!! Our interview with Deri proved quite productive and intriguing. Deri presented us with a design and plans for our home that blew us out of this world. Deri began our project and gave us strict instructions to not visit the home until the work was completed. So, with much restraint, we obliged. After a month of painting, furnishing, and coordinating, it was time to see what the outcome was. When we entered the home, we were truly amazed at the level of detail that went into remodeling our home. Deri turned our home into a retreat and a space that we could not only be proud of but one that we could enjoy with our family and friends. Deri exceeded our expectations and blessed us with her gift of transformation. It is unbelievable to see what she was able to do with our home. It truly looks like a totally different space. Deri is a gifted interior designer that can be trusted to provide exceptional customer service and listen to all of your requests. Once she has all the information she needs, look out!! You will be thoroughly satisfied and happy that you chosen her.

Brilliant. Deri is the best designer I have ever worked with and I have worked with several. She has an natural ability to really quickly understand your style and create an amazing look that reflects your style rather than hers. So creative in how she is able to pull a room together. And equally as important sticks to a budget. Below were some pics of the first two rooms. We have moved on to others now. I cannot tell you how many complements I get and I always say "I would love to take credit but I cannot. I have a brilliant designer." She has helped to make my house into a home. Thanks Deri!

Our family has been truly blessed to meet Deri, and her team. I felt an immediate connection to her when she came to our home to do a consult. I have always felt hesitant to hire an interior designer due to costs, and the fear of it not turning out as good as I hoped. After the first 30 minutes of meeting Deri, and having her in our home, she somehow captured our style perfectly, and designed multiple spaces for us. She turned our house into a home. She exceeded our expectations, and she stayed within the budget we agreed on from the beginning. It is so inspiring to meet people who truly love what they do. Deri's passion shows through the work she does, and the connection she makes with her clients. We will definitely have her back to help us with other rooms of our home!

We were moving into a new, custom-built home and wanted to start with a clean slate for our lower level and master bedroom. Deri brought our vision to life! She understood our taste and our goals. After a consultation and inspiration pics I shared, she came up with a cohesive, stylish and functional plan for our rooms. I was involved with every piece ordered. If I didn't love it, then she worked to find me something until I did. She was the perfect balance of listening to my suggestions, likes and dislikes as well as recommending things she thought would work and explaining why. And talk about stellar service -- Deri and her team were at our house to accept all furniture deliveries and assemble them when necessary. When several pieces had flaws because of shipping, Deri called her contacts and soon, the piece was shipped back and a new one came in so that we would be 100% satisfied. And we are! We love the way our new home looks. We would definitely use Deri again!

There's a good reason for this 5-star rating. Having Tranquil Designs by Deri Washington decorate our home is the best decision my wife and I could have made. We were immediately drawn to her style in what we saw of her work online, and our visits with her confirmed that she designs interiors from her heart and soul. Deri not only looked at our new house, she sat with us and got to know us … our likes, our dislikes, our hobbies, our interests, our past, and our hopes for the future. She combined what she learned of us with her deep and broad experience and her access to resources we didn’t even know existed. The end result: elegance tempered by simplicity, comfort and functionality; beauty tempered by personality, style and character; the kind of interior design that captures the imagination, fills it with wonder, then frees it to soar to greater heights. See for yourself. She posted some of our finished product on her home page—our master bedroom as well our dining room and study. Then, enjoy a visit with Deri. We could not be more pleased to offer the highest possible rating along with our strongest recommendation.

Deri is awesome at what she does and has a great eye!! She managed several projects in my home including painting of several rooms, master bedroom redesign, kitchen counter and backsplash selection, family room update, dining room update and updates in kids' bedrooms including closet re-organization. Deri works with amazing, professional contractors and stays within budget. At the completion of my project, I still had funds remaining. She will work with either a clean slate or design around pieces you have which is greatly appreciated. It was truly a pleasure working with you and I look forward to working with you again in the future!

I highly recommend Tranquil Designs and Deri Washington! I found Deri’s website online while looking to hire someone for a color consultation in order to help select paint colors for the entire interior of my home. I was waiting on a new roof to be installed and I had new windows on order and that would need to be installed. Deri, was so very patient with me throughout the entire process. She had great suggestions during the color consultation. She really listened to everything I was trying to accomplish and the final result is awesome. The painters she recommended provided a fair price and were very nice to work with throughout the whole process. Deri was involved in the whole process and definitely went above and beyond and provided exceptional service. I will definitely utilize her services in the future.

I selected Tranquil Designs based on the fact that all reviews confirmed that Deri and her team were very understanding and respectful of each person's own style - i.e., I wanted to make sure the house would look like it still belonged to me after the work was done. And it was so true ! Deri and her team were quick to understand my style and preferences, and worked with them. Deri is creative and resourceful, was able to reuse some of my pieces of furniture and decorations, and works tirelessly to present options until the client is happy and comfortable with the choices. The results were elegant family, dining, and sunrooms, which flow with the rest of the home, have nice pops of color, and still look like they belong to my home.

When working with Deri I know everything would get done and done beautifully. She knows where to go and how to work with. She listens and makes the space better than you ever thought it could be!

Deri and her team at Tranquil Designs did an excellent job with staging our home before going on the market. They transformed our 20 year-old home into an updated model home. Our house sold in less than 24 hours. She and her team also helped with making our new home a beautiful showcase. She included practical elements based on our style and personality with her elegant touch and attention to detail. Deri is "hands-on" with her projects. She was also well known and respected by the various vendors and contractors we worked with on both projects. We highly recommend Deri and Tranquil Design Team.

Deri and her team designed our new home and did a wonderful job! The house was empty as we were just moving to N.C. so she had a clean slate and only ideas of what we might want and she hit the nail right on the head! We’re so happy with how everything turned out. I would and have recommended Tranquil Designs!

Deri and her team provided excellent recommendations for a full house renovation. Their experience is evident as the proposed solutions were thorough and thoughtful. I really appreciated the verbal and written communication, which made the process work smoothly. I look forward to working with Tranquil Designs on future projects.

Working with Deri was a real pleasure. We initially asked her to help us choose interior colors for our newly constructed home. We were so pleased with the result that we hired her to furnish our living and kitchen areas. The results exceeded our expectations. Deri is very professional, very talented and a delight to work with. Highly recommended!

Working with the team at Tranquil Designs has been a pleasure! Deri and her team were attentive to our needs and detail. They worked through many add-ons and change orders, worked well with our construction remodel team, and brought in many small touches that we would have never thought of. She made our new house into our home and we are grateful!

I worked w/Derri on my whole house renovation. I told her what I was looking to do and my budget. Helped me decide where to spend the money. She also worked to get estimates from contractors that were within the budget. I enjoyed working w/Derri. In the end no room was left untouched and I am very happy with the end result. To quote my daughter, "Dad you brought this house out of the 90's"

We bought house and desired to turn it into a lovely home. Deri was the first interior designer I contacted and after our first meeting I knew she was the right person to help us create our home. I wanted the home to focus on my two children and their rooms was most important to me. My daughter quickly developed a wonderful relationship with Deri and we couldn't be more happy with her room. Der's ability to capture what her clients desire is a rare gift. My son selected Star Wars room and he was mesmerized when he first walked into his room. The rest of the rooms--master bedroom, living room, and reading room and dinner room were left for Deri touring to life. I find myself too busy to be involved in making any selection for the rooms. I'm very happy with my master bedroom, living room and dining room. My favorite place is the reading/office. I love the ambiance in the house. Very relaxing and we utilize every space. We got a house and Deri turned it into a home. I'm look forward to using Tranquill Designs to design our dream custom home in the near future. I'll recommend Deri to any one who wants to create a home. Deri is not an interior decorator, she's an interior designer.

Dramatic transformation! My husband and I hired Deri and her team to help us update the first floor of our home, (dining area, living room and designing a home office). The change is amazing! Working with the Deri and Jesse was a pleasure. They didn’t come in with a predetermined design, rather they openly sought our input and collaborated with us throughout the entire project. We will update the second floor of our home next year and no doubt Deri will be the first and only person we contact!

Tranquil Design LLC is a wonderful design company! Deri was extremely attentive to the vision that I had for my home. She was able to execute the design and bring it to life. Her assistant Kyle was there to assist in any way as well. We couldn’t be happier with the services, and will use them again for future projects . What a loving person with such a beautiful talent!

Deri is an absolute pleasure to work with for any interior designer. I was skeptical about hiring an interior designer, but as soon as I spoke to Deri and saw her work I knew she was the right fit! She was very knowledgeable, she’s patient, she takes the time to understand your vision. Deri walks with you every step of the way. She makes you feel confident and relieved about getting your dream design. I will refer Tranquil Designs to anyone that needs quality design services. Thank you Deri for making my living space come to life!

Best designer I have ever worked with. She understood my vision, my budget and was extremely responsive and friendly. Her eye for color, fabric, texture and alignment is spectacular. She did my whole office but I believe she would be fabulous for a home as well. She is able to see what the customer's style is, not pushing her own agenda or ignoring your taste.

Deri Washington is simply exceptional! Her prioritization of customer service and her attention to detail are unmatched! Deri knows how to create a serene environmnet that turns a house into a home! I highly recommend Tranquil Designs! Thank you, Deri, for your professionalism and your outstanding work!

The team at Tranquil Designs took the time to understand what we wanted and incorporate accent pieces from our travels. We recently moved back to NC. The great room in our new home was dark, being shaded most of the day. Working with Deri and Kyle we were able to find colors and furniture that fit our style, quality expectations, and made the room the inviting space we dreamed of creating.

Deri worked on bringing life to my downstairs living area. I was unsure of where to start and she helped create phases of the project that worked with my budget. She was honest, professional, and ALWAYS followed through. I never felt that we were wasting time. She always got right to the point and seemed to know my taste right from the beginning. She is good at reading people and applying this to your design. I loved working with her specialists (electrician and painter). In working with past contractors, I've been frustrated by their professionalism and lack there of, but not with Deri's people. Every single person I dealt with was top notch. Thank you Tranquail Designs.

We hired Deri and Kyle to help us restore our condo after a water disaster that gutted our home. They listened to what we wanted the result to be and helped us accomplish that, even at times when we came up with ideas that would not have met our goals. We highly recommend them!

We are thrilled with the results of our "mini" home makeover. Deri and Kyle have been a pleasure to work with. From the initial email/phone conversation it was clear that these designers really listen to the client(s) and make sure that it is a collaborative vision. I cannot overstate what a nice feeling it is to really be happy with the way my home looks now!

Despite moving into our new home a few years ago, we hadn't done much decorating and our home just didn't have that "homey" feeling. We finally decided it was time to decorate our downstairs living area and master bedroom. Thankfully, we found Deri and she and Kyle were absolutely wonderful and fun to work with! She was able to capture exactly everything that we wanted. Deri is extremely professional and everything came together perfectly! I loved that she was always very conscious of the budget and worked with the pieces that we wanted to keep. My only regret is that I didn't hire her years ago! I highly recommend Deri and we will definitely use her services for any future projects.

Deri and Kyle were awesome to work with. We just moved to NC and met Deri at a home show. We met at our house for a 1 hour consultation and she had an immediate vision that we ran with. Deri is very committed, adaptable, and has great attention to detail. I always challenged her but she'd say 'just wait until it all comes together', and she was right. They were committed to the end result and worked hard to ensure we were satisfied. She makes it right "as the final product is a personal reflection on her", as she told me more than once ! Great to work with someone who has that attitude. We are very happy wit the results and are strongly considering her and Kyle to work the magic on our second floor also. Thank you Deri and Kyle!

Deri and Kyle helped me redecorate my living room area, a project I had postponed for years. From day one I knew I could count on them. They were very professional and easy to work with through the process. The end product really reflected my taste and the needs I had in mind from the beginning, but more importantly, they were loyal to my budget. They made the entire redecorating process an easy and pleasant experience for me. I was more than pleased with the quality of the end result. I would recommend them to anyone!

Deri and Kyle have been great to work with. We just moved into a new home and wanted the interior to be as great as the house itself. Deri picked all of the paint colors and designed the kitchen, living room, office, dining room, family room and foyer. The colors, furniture and accent pieces flow seamlessly together and perfectly align with our style. I recommend Tranquil Designs for your design needs.

My wife and I could not decide on wall and cabinet colors. Deri and Kyle were very helpful to not only provide color suggestions, but also provide names of reputable contractors. I was very fortunate to have their input prior to spending thousands of dollars on a contractor. Everything turned out wonderfully!

This was a new experience for me and I was so lucky to have found Deri and Kyle. They were very professional stuck to my budget and give me the new look I was looking for in my master bedroom. Keeping within my own style. I can't wait to have them back yo do my loft and office area. GREAT JOB.

Kyle and Deri were great to work with. They took on our relatively small budget and found stylish pieces to furnish our family room and eat in kitchen. They listened to my color/style preferences and incorporated our need for a family-friendly design. We ended up a little over budget but we're sooo incredibly happy with how everything turned out! Thanks guys!

The team at Tranquil-designs are excellent communicators, and excellent designers. They have the skill and design prowess you need, combined with the speedy decision making and communication that makes serving the end client - seamless.

Deri and Kyle were extremely valuable in transforming major living areas on our first floor. They played the role of designer, therapist and accountant. They were mindful of our budget and most importantly saw things we couldn't see or visualize. In the end it all came together and we were quite thrilled. We'll be reaching out to them when we're ready to focus on the 2nd floor. We highly recommend them.

I have had the pleasure of working with Deri for the past few months and she never ceases to amaze me! She has a unique way of choosing colors and blending variable pieces of furniture and accessories together perfectly. She is very professional, caring and very patient with her clients. She did an amazing job in my home and I can't stop singing her praises!

What can I say? Deri is absolutely fabulous! She helped me with the finishing touches for my home and the results are amazing! My rooms are now gorgeous with beautiful accents/accessories and wonderful pops of color. She was successful at getting me to go outside my comfort zone. Deri is a great designer, professional and knowledgeable. Don't hesitate to hire her, she will transform your space and you will love it!

What a pleasure it was to work with Deri and her team to design the first floor of my town home. Deri took the time to understand my needs and transformed my living space into a beautiful, yet functional space, I can now call home. I must say, it was difficult letting go at first (this was the first time I hired a design consultant), but Deri put me at ease by keeping me informed every step of the way and she quickly earned my trust. I would highly recommend Tranquil Designs LLC. You will not be disappointed! I think the picture(s) says it all! Wow! Check it out...

We recently purchased a beautiful, new house and were ready to make it a home. The furniture for the family room and breakfast area from our previous home was just not a good match for the new house. We needed to start with a blank slate. We could not have imagined how well everything would come together. Deri has an excellent eye for color. Her design for our open concept home is absolutely gorgeous and incorporated our personal style and tastes. We cannot wait to have her come back to design another room in our house!

We were very impressed with our designers. They were very professional and knowledgeable. We love the end result. Our house is now a beautiful home.

Deri helped us design/decorate our 9 yr old granddaughter's bedroom into a tween haven. Our granddaughter was smiling ear to ear and couldn't stop looking at all the special touches Deri included for her. We were on a tight budget and Deri worked diligently with us to keep to that budget by using as many items already in her room as possible. She captured our granddaughter's personality in color and design. We are so blessed to have chosen such a bright, thoughtful and sensitive designer and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to the highest

Thanks to Deri, We have fully decorated main floor, which is elegant and sophisticated but still suitable for our daily living with 2 young kids and a dog. We chose Deri after an extensive research. We loved Deri’s passion for the industry as reflected by her projects and designs. She is very attentive and helpful. She spent time understanding our design and budget needs and provided us with some great suggestion for a makeover. Deri also helped us with a quality services (painters/electrician) that met our needs. Deri guided us get through difficult design choices and pushed our comfort zones with colors, textures, and wall decors. She was great at optimizing our budget for the greatest effect. The entire experience was really fun, and we were amazed with the results. The quality of customer service that she provides to her clients is above and beyond. I would recommend her above any other designer in the business!

Beautiful designs by Mrs. Washington. She completely transformed our restaurant into a wonderful winter wonderland! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a creative touch.

She came back to me with some amazing suggestions after seeing my space and discussing my preferences.. Exactly what I needed! Very creative and professional!

Deri Washington sees space and makes it come alive. She thinks of things to do that no one else seems to think of. Her sense of style and color are truly amazing. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to redesign or makeover a space.

I've seen Deri's work, and her work is amazing, and stunning. Clients rave about her work, and are so happy with her. Deri's work encompasses a lot of different types of projects, from commercial, and redoing offices, to doing design work to give you an idea of how to decorate your home. She also does residential design work, including Bathrooms, kitchens, decks, patios, bedrooms (OMG, the bedrooms are beautiful!). Deri's work is immaculate, and every project turns out beautifully.

Deri at Tranquil Designs transformed an unused office/4th bedroom into a terrific game/man cave for my son and husband. They LOVE IT! And I have the rest of my house back. The cost was exactly where she said it would come in there were no hidden surprises and she took care of everything from hiring the contractors to picking out the paint. I would definitely use Deri's services again!

We built a new house and our architect recommended Tranquil Designs. This was an excellent choice for us. They offered nice wall color selections for rooms and amazing but tranquil colors that suited our needs. Now I can entertain my own clients while working from home and have my son in his new tricked out space.

Deri Washington from Tranquil Designs redecorated many rooms in our home. Her professionalism and work to detail was superb. She included us throughout the design process and used only the best qualified professionals when having to use outside contractors. I would highly recommend her services. You will not be disappointed. I love my new rooms.
