Holiday Decorating Companies in Kalamazoo

“My husband and I have lived in our home for almost 30 years and apart from a few updates in the past, we knew our home needed some freshening up. We called Karen Vander Werp of Transforming Interiors and with her amazing vision and incredible eye for detail, our dining/living room has been completely redone and we are so thrilled with the results! She was able to work with a few pieces of furniture that we wanted to keep and incorporated them into an updated an amazing look. From painting our tire woodwork, painting our oak table, modernizing our 3-way fireplace with faux painting and adding a new seating area with beautiful window treatments, the dining room was completely transformed. It was the same with the living room a year later. She was able to see options that we wouldn't have noticed or thought of. From artwork to furniture to accessories to window treatments, she was "spot on" every time. What we also appreciated was the way she listened to us and what our likes and dislikes were and would fins ways to ensure her vision, along with keeping our wants and needs. Plus she made it fun and interesting. We learned so much from her guidance. We can't say enough about how much we enjoyed working with her now and will look forward to when we will get a chance to do so again in the future.”

“Loved working with Kristine. She designed the remodel of our first floor! This included kitchen, bathroom, family room, living room, dining room, and backdoor entry. She was professional and had so many wonderful creative ideas ! She worked within our budget and the end result was spectacular!! She is proactive and her problem solving skills kept us moving forward with no glitches. I highly recommend Kristine !”

“Bridget has worked with me on two different homes. She helped me update my starter home cost effectively with small changes. She taught me how to accessorize with color and pick solid colored furniture that could be kept up to date with inexpensive pillow or art changes. When it was time to sell my home, it sold at the first showing. I give that credit to her due to her ability to make my small home look bigger and provide function necessary with small children. Not to mention that the main living space looked like it came from a magazine. My new home was a blank slate. She assisted me in picking colors, furniture, accessories and fabrics. She offered her ideas and assisted me in gaining confidence in my choices. She shopped for me-finding me the right pieces for small spaces that needed accessories, including rugs that made a big impact picking up all the colors throughout my home. She showed me how to take the colors in the fabrics and use them throughout the rooms in my house so that it all flowed. Everyone who comes to my home makes comments about my colors and how it looks so beautiful even 7 years later. I feel like my home fits my personality and is a place I Iike spending my time. Most of all, I love that Bridget is so generous. She often works over and above the amount of time she actually bills for. She has developed a business that is prospering because of her big heart. She believes in giving back. God has given her a wonderful talent that she uses to bless others.”

“Love Love Love Christine and her crew. They were beyond professional and also very detailed oriented. Christine helped me with all new paint colors with my new home plus gave life to an old bathroom with a very up to date look by painting the old vanity. So lovely!! Every day they were finish working they cleaned their entire work area and also went above and beyond making everything look perfect. And did it all in less time to be expected!!! If you are looking for help with anything home design, Streamliners Home is you company. I cant wait to call them for my next project!!!”

“W Haus of Design has been fantastic to work with on my new home. Emily’s attention to detail and organizational skills made the design process way less daunting. She explained her design decisions thoroughly and in a way that made sense for my non-designer mind. I really enjoyed working with Emily and highly recommend her and W Haus of Design for any interior design needs!”

“We were so overwhelmed with our addition before contacting Dawn Marie. She came through with designs, options and suggestions that were right in line with what we were trying to accomplish. I can't speak highly enough about her work ethic, enthusiasm and expertise! We will be hiring her again next spring to put together the rest of our main floor. Hands down one of the most talented designers we have come across!”

“I hesitated hiring any interior designer when one was recommended by our builder for design assistance on our new lake cottage currently under construction in Northern Michigan. I felt competent and capable of designing, decorating and furnishing this 3800 sq. ft. lake home on my own, as I had satisfactorily decorated our 5000 sq. ft. primary home, during the 90’s. But as we all know, times and tastes have changed! I soon learned that, although I vaguely knew the look and feel of the “Coastal Living” lake home I wanted, I wasn’t capable of achieving that style without professional help. I further realized that trying to design a vacation home from 860 miles away on the East Coast, would be much easier with the help of an on-site decorator who could conveniently measure prior to ordering (rather than guessing,) has working relationships with all the local sources and service providers, and understands how to marry form with function, for a stunningly beautiful look, but more importantly, for the comfortable, practical lifestyle we were seeking. So, we reluctantly agreed to tour the showcase lake home of designer Amy Darooge of Villa Décor in Grand Rapids, Mi.; and after the brief tour of her stunning home, I was hooked!! If she could make my home look anywhere near as lovely as hers, I knew we would be satisfied. My husband and I are so glad we chose to work with Amy Darooge of Villa Décor, as her pleasant, positive, collaborative demeanor and savvy professionalism has prevented us from making costly mistakes; more importantly, her advice has resulted in the realizing of our vision for our ‘dream home’ for our family. She carefully listens to our needs and educates us on the best way to meet them. She is very budget conscious and has a better handle on our builder’s budget- allocations, than we do! She advises us on where to save on “unnecessary” outlays, and where “splurging” on upgrades will have a greater return on investment over time. Her forte is certainly “Coastal Cottage Style,” but she seems thoroughly conversant across the spectrum of contemporary design styles. She helped me stay true to the style I wanted and has an uncanny knack for accessorizing in just the right, understated way. The net result has been to create a tranquil retreat that will function perfectly for our large, extended family. She advised us on closet and bath design, lighting, siding, furniture and accessories, paint choices, the whole spectrum of design choices. She is invariably on time, responds promptly to all calls and emails, and collaborating with her has negated any effects posed by the physical distance. She's just very easy to work with. Simply put, she has turned a potentially stressful experience into an enjoyable one. She has impeccable taste and has helped us execute our vision exactly as we had hoped. We highly recommend her without reservation. Mary T. New Jersey”

“Lindsey came into our renovation project and saved us! We had been working with another designer that was not for us. When we met Lindsey she jumped in and hit the ground running. She understood our style and vision immediately and delivered more than I could even imagine. Prior to working with Knox J Design we were overwhelmed and not confident about our remodel. Then we met Lindsey and meeting with her every week about our renovation became the highlight of our week! She is so personal and down to earth. She works different than most designers, she works with any contracts, studios, furniture stores etc. She just seemed so much more flexible, as if each client she accommodates accordingly. This is a designer that found her passion and it shines through in every way. So Grateful!”

“Krista designed and painted a couple rooms for us and we were blown away with her creative vision and eye for detail. I particularly appreciated her approachability and communication, which helped me better identify my design preferences. We’ve used contractors in the past that never took the time to listen and understand what I was going for, which ultimately resulted in rework and less than ideal experience. Krista went above and beyond, and I could not be more pleased with the end result!”
