Allure Designs

I am so thankful that Allure Designs and Marina did my kitchen renovation. The final product is more beautiful than I could have imagined and Marina and her crew made the process understandable, predictable and enjoyable (as enjoyable as ripping up two rooms of your house and reconstructing them can be!). Marina’s vision, in terms of design and implementation, is incredible. She came up with ideas I had not imagined that now I cannot imagine living without. Her crew, who work with her on every project, are so experienced, knowledgeable and detail-oriented. The quality of their work is evident not just in the final product, but also in the process along the way. At the start of the project, Marina provided me with a detailed design, an itemized budget and a project calendar. She and her crew stayed true to all of those documents. I would highly recommend Marina and Allure Designs for any home renovation project.

Marina from Allure Designs did a wonderful job helping us design our kitchen. She has extensive experience and is knowledgeable in all facets of design and renovation. We are extremely satisfied with our beautiful kitchen and her attention to detail. I would highly recommend her services.

Marina was wonderful to work with. We were very impressed by her design and creative ideas for our game room. We would definitely work with her again if we have any other remodels.

We took on a project to basically remodel 2/3 of our home, which included the family room, kitchen, living room, dining room and guest bedroom. We hired Marina through our contractor to do design work, create the necessary detailed drawings/blueprints, 3-D renderings and obtain all the necessary city and county approvals. Marina came up with some great ideas, which at first we were a bit hesitant as they were a little bit beyond what we envisioned. We decided to go with her ideas because she came across as experienced, confident and an expert in her field. After picking out granite, slate, cabinets and tile, we were on our way. After the project was started it didn't take long to realize we made the right decision. Once the slate went up on the walls we knew this was going to be special. Now that the project is finished, we absolutely could not be happier with the end result. After a month, we still get the incredible "wow" feeling every time we walk into our house. It was literally like moving into and entirely new and updated 21st century house. The best decision we made was to take a leap of faith and trust what Marina had in mind. Again could not be happier with the result!!! She is fantastic!

Marina transformed our small 80's kitchen into an efficient, beautiful gathering space for our family. She worked within our budget and kept us well-informed about expenses. She was our designer as well as project manager. She was on site practically every day, overseeing the work being done. We are delighted with our new kitchen.

We renovated our kitchen in Phoenix this past spring, and we hired Marina to guide that process. She has a vision for spaces that we do not, and was very helpful in explaining the process, showing examples, listening to our needs and wants, and matching them with what was possible in our budget so that our kitchen update was beautiful, modern, lighting was brighter. She was willing to help us solve a cabinet problem so that we did not have to go out of our budget and the cabinets looks as if they are brand new! She went with us to pick out granite and backsplash for our kitchen countertops, and helped us put together a design, that we would not have figured out for ourselves; it was a little overwhelming for our first time, and Marina understood that. The people she hired were very professional and she was very good about checking their work. She has a high bar of quality that she wants for her clients! We'd hire her again in a heartbeat and have already given her name out to family and friends! Jerry and Melody Strom

My late Wife, Pat, hired Allure because Marina come to her interview ready to start the project that day. Allure was the Interior Designer AND Contractor, and did superlatively at both! Pat and I worked almost daily with Allure to design the sensitive details necessary to add to and remodel the bath in our 1940's mud adobe home. Allure's Subs' craftsmanship and dedication were inspirational. The project is lovely, livable and enhances the decor of the remainder of our home. In January 2015, Allure was awarded "2015 Best Bath" and "Best Large Bath" by the National Kitchen and Bath Association for our project.

Marina did an excellent job designing and then following through on the building of our new kitchen. She did her best to keep the costs under control while making sure we got quality products and workmanship. The sub-contractors she uses are first rate craftsmen and she checks on each aspect of their work to make sure it is up to her standards. Marina kept our originally agreed upon schedule to the letter so that we were able to have Christmas dinner in our new kitchen. We highly recommend Allure Designs. Robin Morgan

Working with Marina was a smooth and easy process. All of our design objectives were met The final cost was within the budget we set up at the beginning. Adds a professional touch. Uses a CAD system on her laptop so she is able to show you the design in 3D with textures applied. Worked with our schedule. Got the job done on time. I have zero complaints. I will work with Marina again if I have another remodel project and I highly recommend her to anyone.

Marina assisted me from start to finish with almost a total remodel of my house. Her work on planning, design and supervising the construction paid off with a what feels like a new home. Extra Kudos for work on the kitchens and bathroom. Everything flows throughout the house and I really like the color selections.

We hired Marina back after she redesigned our kitchen for work on our guest bathroom and entry way. She made an amazing creative and very functional transformation to our bathroom and entry-way area with a beautiful design that fit with our style, but took it beyond our expectations. She went the extra mile to make sure it was just right. Marina is a talented designer who also works hard to maintain costs and quality with a team of experienced and reliable craftsmen. Highly recommend her services for any design or remodeling work!!

Marina was hands on from the start to the finish of my bathrooms. She communicated well with every step of the project. We would highly recommend her services.
