Kitchen & Bathroom Designers Near Bonita

“I am immensely grateful that Susan offered me design consulting via an hourly package. We were buying a new “builder vanilla” home in another state, and I wanted to turn it into something beautiful and personal—but I was essentially starting from zero and desperately needed experienced guidance. Because the house was out of state, and because I’m fairly frugal, hiring Savvy Interiors for a full-service design wasn’t practical. Susan’s consulting option turned out to be the perfect middle ground. Our first major issue was the flooring—and Susan may have saved me from a $70,000 mistake. We have roughly 2,700 square feet, and I had convinced myself that I should choose very light hardwood in the widest planks I could find because that seemed to be where the market was going. But something kept stopping me from actually placing the order. I knew I wasn’t confident, so I followed my instinct and asked for help. Susan listened to me describe my style, what I wanted the house to feel like, and what I was trying to accomplish. We talked through the flooring, and almost immediately she knew which direction I should go. More importantly, she understood WHY it was right for my house rather than simply following a trend. The floors are now installed and they are beyond gorgeous. Every time I look at them, I am grateful I made that phone call. But the flooring was only the beginning. As we moved virtually through the house, I could bring Susan a question or problem and she would immediately see three steps beyond it: “Do this here.” “Make sure this balances that.” “If you do this, remember you’ll need extra space for that.” Those observations sound simple afterward—but they are things I never would have anticipated on my own. That is the tremendous value of experience. Susan has designed homes over and over again. Most of us do this only a handful of times in our lives. The knowledge that comes from having “been there and done that” a thousand times simply comes out naturally in conversation with her, and it can save you hours, money, mistakes and regret. She also has an ability I particularly value: she listened to what I wanted rather than trying to turn my house into someone else’s aesthetic. She helped me clarify my own design direction, make confident decisions and understand how individual choices would work together as a whole. Susan’s time is worth every penny—and then some. If you are building, remodeling or simply overwhelmed by major design decisions and aren’t in a position to hire a full-service designer, I cannot recommend her consulting highly enough. In my case, a few hours of expert advice affected decisions worth tens of thousands of dollars and helped turn a generic new-build house into more of a home that will eventually (when completed) feels like us. (We just took possession and put down the floors - next up furniture / paint / window coverings....)”

“Working with our virtual interior designer KNC Design was one of the best decisions we made during our home renovation process. Over the course of designing two bathrooms and two bedrooms, the level of dedication, precision, and professionalism was truly exceptional. From the beginning, every detail was thoughtfully considered — from layouts and finishes to scale, color balance, and architectural flow. What impressed us most was the incredible amount of time and care invested into the project. Countless hours were spent refining ideas, creating precise drawings, ordering the specific design products, updates for each delivery, and ensuring every element aligned perfectly with both our vision and the realities of the space. Communication was seamless throughout the entire process. Kara maintained constant, clear, and proactive communication not only with us, but also directly with our contractor, which made the execution process significantly smoother and more efficient. Questions were answered quickly, adjustments were handled thoughtfully, and nothing ever felt overlooked. The end result feels highly customized, cohesive, and elevated beyond what we could have imagined ourselves. Kara and Kristi brought both creativity and technical expertise, while also being incredibly patient, collaborative, and deeply, DEEPLY attentive to detail. We would wholeheartedly recommend DNC Design Group to anyone looking for a designer who is talented, meticulous, communicative, and genuinely invested in creating beautiful, functional spaces.”

“Review for Hope Pinc Design My fiancé and I recently completed our move into a new home and partnered with Hope Pinc Design without question, it was the defining decision in transforming our space into something truly exceptional. The home was purchased semi-furnished, and we were faced with the nuanced challenge of integrating pieces from our previous residences while honoring the integrity of what already existed. Hope approached this with a level of precision and vision that immediately set her apart. From the outset, her professionalism was evident. She is highly organized, impeccably detail-oriented, and possesses a rare ability to curate spaces that feel both elevated and effortless. What could have felt disjointed was instead seamlessly layered into a cohesive, sophisticated environment. Her design sensibility strikes a perfect balance between refinement and livability. Every element feels intentional nothing excessive, nothing overlooked. She has an intuitive understanding of scale, texture, and tone, and the end result reflects a home that is not only beautiful, but deeply personal. Beyond her talent, the experience itself was equally impressive. The process was discreet, collaborative, and thoughtfully managed from start to finish. Hope brings a quiet confidence to her work that instills complete trust. Working with Hope Pinc Design is not simply about decorating a home it’s about creating a space that feels curated, timeless, and entirely your own. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking a truly elevated design experience.”
