Interior Designers & House Decorators Near San Marcos

“Working with Calming Spaces was one of the best decisions we made for our home. We first engaged them to update the first floor of our home and redesign our kitchen, and the overall experience was remarkable! Sharon, Lisa, Linda, and the work crew were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. They listened carefully to what was important to us, helped us see possibilities we hadn't considered, and guided us through the design process with creativity, patience, and professionalism. One of the many things that impressed us was how well Calming Spaces worked with our schedule. We were planning to be out of the country for six weeks during the renovation, and they took on the challenge of coordinating the project so that the work would be completed before we returned. Somehow, they made it happen. We stepped off the plane and into a transformed living space that exceeded our expectations; a beautifully redesigned kitchen and first floor that felt both completely new and perfectly suited to our home. The kitchen is not only beautiful and modern, but also thoughtfully designed for the way we live. Features like pull-out spice racks and an appliance garage make it incredibly functional, while the overall design reflects our values, feels warm and inviting, and is filled with natural light. More than two years later, visitors to our home still regularly offer unsolicited compliments on our kitchen. We were so impressed with their work and the experience of working with the team that we invited Calming Spaces back to remodel our master bedroom and master bathroom. Once again, they helped us envision new possibilities for the space and created a design that is both elegant and highly practical. The finished bathroom is beautiful, comfortable, and functions better than we imagined. What truly sets Calming Spaces apart is the people. Sharon, Lisa, Linda, and every member of the crew are knowledgeable, responsive, respectful, and genuinely enjoyable to work with. Renovations can be stressful, but they made the entire process collaborative, organized, and surprisingly enjoyable. They consistently demonstrated outstanding attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to making sure we were delighted with the final result. If you're looking for a design and remodeling team that combines exceptional creativity, workmanship, and outstanding customer service, we wholeheartedly recommend Calming Spaces. We trusted them with two major projects in our home, and we wouldn't hesitate to do so again.”

“Rhonda Miller has worked with me and my family on 3 house renovations. The first renovation was a 1920's farmhouse in Montrose in 2006-7 almost down to the studs. Amazing reno - created a "jewel box" of a house and made it livable for a modern family - very European farmhouse type. Second reno was a 3 story traditional in the Heights in 2010-11 which included custom bookshelves, drapery, matching original wood floors from 1910s and helping decorate with customized furniture and paint colors. It also included combining 3 rooms into 1 great room with 2 super support beams added for structural integrity. Third reno was in 2015 mostly cosmetic in the Cypress area but included updating paint, installing wood floors and customized drapery and furniture again plus placement of art on walls. Rhonda also helped me stage the Montrose and Heights houses for maximum selling value and that was more than delivered. The Heights house sold in 22 days! Rhonda is honest, thorough and shows up when she is supposed to and does what she says. She listens to the client and always contributes to turning your house into a home. Everyone comments favorably on everything Rhonda and I have done together. Rhonda is also great fun to work with and makes a somewhat stressful process really enjoyable. Besides that, she is extremely knowledgeable on technical and structural home issues, not just the decorative side. On the Montrose farmhouse that was renovated almost from the studs up, the architect was struggling to make several things work for a modern family and Rhonda came up with solutions every time. I would hire Rhonda every time!”
