Interior Designers & House Decorators in North Hills

“I had the pleasure of working with Betsy when we both worked for corporate design-oriented furniture companies. I was actually her supervisor that time. Betsy developed strong client loyalties because not only did she do beautiful designs, she was also fun to work with and listened to her clients. Her designs are rooted in tradition and classic, yet with surprising twists. A daring fabric here, surpising furniture choice there, unusual drapery treatment, whatever it is, it makes it unique and special. Betsy is also a reliable expert in Softgoods, and can guide a client through custom window treatments painlessly. I highly recommend Betsy to anyone considering working with a Designer.”

“I've recommended Hilda to clients on several occasions. As an extremely active realtor, I've seen hundreds of staged homes and the first time I saw Hilda's work at a home she staged for another realtor I thought, this is great work I have to call whoever made this home look this fantastic. I contacted her, put her to work the first opportunity I had, and she delivered great work at a great price. As a result, several clients have hired her, and have recommended her to several colleagues who rave about her work. I couldn't recommend Hilda more highly for any home staging needs.”

“E-consulting with Claire Bell has been a wonderful experience! I was browsing photos on houzz.com and came across some light fixtures that I thought were stunning. I asked the designer a question, and she promptly gave me an answer and offered her services to locate the sconces I wanted. I had never heard of e-consulting with a designer before, and I was a little lost when it came to the overall design of our new house, so I was relieved that Claire led me in the right direction. After showing Claire pictures of what I liked, she was able to narrow down my style preferences and keep me from straying off course. It was a huge relief to have some guidance. Here are the benefits I found from using Claire’s online consultation services: •Accessibility: I live in rural Nebraska—far from any contemporary/modern interior designers. Being connected electronically helped me find some up-to-date guidance where none was available. •No appointments necessary: not everyone can find time in “normal” business hours to meet with a designer. Our communication via email fit perfectly into my schedule, or lack thereof, since I work from home and also shuffle around two preschool-age kids from daycare, music, and school. •Honest opinion: Claire is not afraid to tell me if my ideas are straying from the main style objective, and she offers alternatives as well. She respects my tastes but lets me know if they are not necessarily tasteful. •Expert opinion: since I live far from an urban center, I have to shop online, but I’m often unable to tell a cheap knockoff from the real thing, and the amount of choices can be overwhelming. Since Claire has seen, in person, many of the pieces I was interested in, she was able to vouch for their looks, explain in better detail, and steer me away from lower-quality items. She was able to provide her own snapshots of fixtures in actual stores so that I could see them in a setting and in “real life.” •Flexibility: Claire is able to work within my budget, which was fairly tight, so she helped me maximize on looks, saving the more expensive pieces for places with the greatest impact. She let me decide which aspects of the home I needed help with the most, and that’s where she focused her attention. •Fairness: if I found a piece online for a lower price, Claire would honor it if she could or let me shop elsewhere if I found an amazing deal. •Positive attitude: cheerful, accommodating, and friendly, Claire was very fun to work with. While e-consulting doesn't allow an actual face-to-face exchange of ideas, although Claire does offer to Skype, it was the perfect service for me because of my location, busy schedule, and smaller budget. I was able to get the benefits of a high-end designer at a fraction of the cost and on my own time. I highly recommend Chic Abode Interiors, and I’m excited to continue collaborating with Claire Bell. If anyone has questions about my experience, I’d be happy to answer them. You can reach me at Melissa.Lind@abbnebraska.com.”

“Sharon is an experienced designer that is able to listen to your ideas and improve on them. I have never used a decorator before, but I wanted help with a new house where the living spaces were open to each other and needed to "flow". I was having a difficult time starting the project, but Sharon was able to show me colors and styles that work together without looking like you just bought a room from a furniture store. She has helped me incorporate some new ideas into my style, and came up with solutions I would have never thought of. I definitely recommend Sharon for her sense of style and also because she is such a pleasant person to work with.”

“Melissa has been a blessing through the last 9 years. She has done two of our homes and paint colors for another. No job is too small or two big. She works with each client and their budgets individually. She can do anything and make it look incredible! Several of our neighbors and friends have used her as well and loved their experience. I highly recommend Melissa no matter what your needs are.”

“I hired Maj Interiors for major kitchen help. I had a tone of ideas and a huge wish list but didn’t know how to put it all together. Working with Alona was a fantastic experience; she took care of everything on my wish list and organized the whole project! She was always on top of things and made me feel comfortable throughout the renovation process. I got a fabulous kitchen that was completed on time and on budget that I absolutely love! I would recommend Maj Interiors in a heartbeat!”

“I hired Jill after meeting her at a home show. She finished work on my beach home this past spring and we are set to start my local home after the holidays. I came across this review of Jill and found it quite inaccurate. Jill is absolutely one of the easiest designers I have ever hired. Her enthusiasm is matched by her knowledge and if left to do the job hired, her work is breathtaking. She works completely alone--just her. She is delightful and talented and I could not be happier with my decision to put my faith and my childhood summer home with her. I recommend her highly.”

“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.”

“Lisa has such unique taste and new ideas. I had moved from Los Angeles, and brought all my furniture with me to a new home that was completely different then my previous one. Lisa helped me design around my old furniture and replace pieces that just did not work anymore. Her store as well as great pieces and artwork.”

“I am honored to endorse Laura Koshel of LK Design! We began working with Laura prior to moving to The Hills at Southpoint. She visited our previous home to familiarize herself with our home decor style as well as the rugs and furnishings we planned to incorporate into our new home. Laura has a talent for visualizing possibilities. With her help we chose paint colors, wall paper and gorgeous window treatments. She was always respectful of our ideas, personal preferences and budget, while encouraging us to consider additional styles. The beauty of my home speaks for itself. Laura conducts herself with honesty and integrity. It is a pleasure to work with her.”
