Design Consultants in Morganton

“My family and I have lived in our home for over 15 years. I have been wanting to update several rooms for years but didn’t even know where to start. I had previously reached out to other designers but received very little response or interest. I saw Theresa’s post online detailing her services and decided to contact her on a whim. It was the best decision of 2019! Theresa called me within a few hours and we had an appointment within a few days. I am a total newbie to working with a designer of any kind - and do NOT have an artist eye myself. Through conversations with Theresa (and sharing of my many Pinterest boards), she was able to not only capture my “vision” - she enhanced it! Theresa was able to create my perfect living space, paying equal attention to all details big and small. Placement, color, shape, aesthetic and functionality were part of every decision that was made. What started out as remodeling my office turned into essentially redoing my entire first and second floor, including painting, floors, completely redoing my master bath, extending my existing closet into the closet of my dreams, several kitchen updates, new front door and redoing upstairs bathrooms. None of that includes handpicking all new furniture and accessories. Theresa not only did the designs, she also managed the contractor crew (due to some crazy circumstances, she went WAY above and beyond). It was a three month project with plenty of things that went smooth - and a few unexpected hiccups (I now know what custom glass shower panels shattering sound like!). BUT throughout it all, Theresa was calm, cool and collected. She was a pro and made sure I was comfortable and getting the house I had wanted for so long. I cannot say enough great things about my experience working with Theresa. She and her services are worth every penny. I love my house and am already starting to plan the next project (basement!).”

“Julie Ford Designs staged our cabin before listing with incredible ease and professionalism!!! Julie is terrific to work with, I highly recommend her!”

“Janet at Timberlake Interiors helped me with several things when my husband and I bought a partially furnished house last spring. One huge problem I had was what to do with a very generic built-in book case that was about 20 feet long by 10 feet tall. Janet suggested a grass clothe wall paper for the backside of the bookcase to warm up the room and showcase the candles, sea shells, and glass pieces that she arranged which transformed the ugly bookcase wall to a beautiful and interesting focal piece! What a difference it made for the whole room!! She helped with furniture arrangement to comfortably "invite" traffic into the huge room--Another great solution for a huge problem for me. I was so pleased, that Janet then helped me with fabric selections to recover some older chairs and a sofa with pretty throw pillows that completely updated the look of the room without expensive renovations! In summary, I love her vision that doesn't blow a budget!”

“I hired Stacy to help with style ideas for my new home. I asked Stacy to help make the home flow and give us suggestions with paint colors, accessories and furniture pieces. We have mostly mid-century modern furniture and our new home is a traditional ranch style with wainscoting and built-in book shelves. Stacy was great at knowing what we needed to add to blend the two styles and bring them together into a cohesive look. Stacy helped me pick out the accessories I needed to style the book cases, selected the perfect shade of grey for the walls, advised me the correct height the new chandeliers and light fixtures should to be hung, offered the perfect suggestions for all of the window coverings and recommendations for furniture pieces that would work with our new space and still blend with the main pieces we already own. She helped me with the space planning of the living room and even drew it our for me on the computer so I could visualize the layout and floor plan. I would send her pictures and she would be quick to respond and offer feedback. I usually get overwhelmed with home design decisions, but Stacy made it stress-free and FUN. Stacy is professional, friendly, and super easy to work with. Thank you for everything Stacy! We love our new home!”

“Savannah helped my husband and I tackle a room with a challenging shape. She has a great eye and she made sure that everything was placed to maximize our space. We would work with her again!”

“When I decided to sell my house, the realtor gave me a VERY long list of updates I needed to make. As a working mom, it was overwhelming. I didn't know where to begin to identify the best contractors, get quotes, oversee the work, make design decisions, pick paint colors, stage the house, etc. Enter Kippie Romano Design....Kippie walked through the house with her contractors and gave me a VERY REASONABLE quote to knock out everything on the list. Her contractors started within a couple of days, and she oversaw every step of the project. She has an incredible eye for design and has a world-class team of contractors. The best advice I can give someone is to let Kippie make the decisions for you. She knows what will appeal to buyers, and it can be challenging to not make decisions based on your own personal taste. The best decision I made was to turn Kippie loose to pick out carpet, paint colors, light fixtures, etc. The finished product far exceeded my expectations.”

“Interior Styles, Inc. was brought in by my client to facilitate the purchases I needed to make as an Interior Decorator based in West Africa. (Unfortunately, most companies will not accept a W. African cc even with approval given the wide misconception that all W. African based transactions are fraudulent.) With grace and aplomb, Interior Styles worked selflessly with me to place the orders, offer her industry knowledge and support when selected items were sold out. I would have had to get on a plane and make these purchases in person had this company not been open enough to work with me as a colleague. It would have been very easy to persuade the client to work with them directly. Instead they maintained their integrity and welcomed me as a partner. While I know this is a design category, given the limitations for international firms, I thought it important to share this appreciation with Houzz.”

“Thank you for your expertise, and professionalism in assisting us with our home remodel, the home sold quickly thanks to your hard work! I highly recommend, and will be calling you again to assist with our new home.”

“Love Mary Winn and the work she does is top notch while also being so kind and sweet. My clients love her & the best part is with her staging we sell the homes typically at top dollar! I can't wait to use her for my own home and give my house a fresh look. She has a great eye and is so easy to work with she makes you feel comfortable the minute you meet her!”

““I had the pleasure of working with Nehal on one of my home projects that I have been wanting to start which seems like almost forever ago. Nehal is super friendly and very passionate about the projects and work she takes on. She is extremely knowledgeable about a wide range of designs and really brings a unique perspective and a highly sophisticated eye to the projects she undertakes. I look forward to working alongside her on future home projects that I want to start. If you are looking for someone who has a creative eye and attention to details, flexible with your wants and needs and has good communication skills then I would highly recommend working with her. Thank you for helping me get one step closer to my dream home!””
