Studio City, CA Space Planning Professionals

“We were in the market for several years for a house in Laguna Beach before we found the one we wanted. During that search, we heard many hair-raising stories about how difficult it can be to remodel in Laguna, so we decided to use a local architect and were referred to Anders Lasater. Turned out to be a great referral, because Anders and his staff not only helped us navigate the labyrinthian planning department process, they also provided us with a wealth of information about what works and what doesn't in Laguna. The remodel turned out to be much more complicated than expected because of numerous elevation changes on the property. They stayed with the project from start to finish, dropping in on short notice when we needed input. We asked for several large modifications along the way and those were handled with patience, care and creative suggestions. Anders himself went to speak with neighbors when they raised concerns and was a partner in the whole process.”

“I have worked & collaborated with Rande as a fellow interior designer for the last three years . Her intuitive understanding of her client's wants & needs combined with incredibly good taste distinguishes as her as a truly talented designer . Rande has an innate sense of what will work in a space & is able to present a complete picture ( & budget ) to her clients from start to finish. She treats each project as a unique opportunity to make a difference in her client's lives. Rande is a true joy to work with in every way.”

“Nice job from HG. Hired the company for a complete master bathroom remodeling. The shower and tub were in need of a replacement and the cabinets and sink as well. The project manager (Carmine) was really helpful. With his professional experience, he helped us get the best out of our space. I'm really happy with Hartford Gandia. A+”

“I have had the pleasure of working and collaborating with Nate over the past 10 years. He is one of the most talented designers that I have the pleasure of knowing. He has an incredible eye and a unique talent for mixing traditional and modern elements in his spaces, giving you that Nate Fischer signature style that you won't find anywhere else. I know that Nate goes above and beyond for all of his clients; doing all he can to give them homes and spaces they love and a very personable and fun experience along the way. I highly recommend him.”

“I am opening a restaurant in Laguna Beach . The space is unique and cozy but I wanted to make it more spacious and sleek. Heather was able to completely capture my vision . From the light fixtures to the floors and everything in between . I am in love with her design. We are putting in an onyx stone bar and its difficult to pair with all the wood that i wanted in the space but Heather made it happen. I have a very clear idea of what i wanted my restaurant to look like and am pretty set in my way but there were gaping wholes in my vision . Heather was able to very quickly fill in the gaps and make it a complete and cohesive look. Can't recommend her enough!!! The bathroom is to die for we it both compliments the dinning room and has its own unique aesthetic . Love it all !”

“I have been working with Jennifer from The Old Painted Cottage since 2011. I had been a faithful blog reader (http://theoldpaintedcottage.com/) and admirer of her style for a long time before getting the courage to contact her to see if she would agree to a design consultation to help me revamp my living room. My husband and I had recently moved into a 1960's ranch - that still looked like it was from the 1960s! I was so frustrated with trying to "design" my house on a budget and getting nowhere – I desperately wanted and needed help. I kind of knew what I wanted to do and the styles I admired, but I had no idea whatsoever how to create it on a realistic budget in my own home. I hired Jennifer to teach me how to beautify my living room. And oh boy - I cannot say enough about how absolutely wonderful it was (and has been since then) to work with Jennifer! After sending her the dimensions of my living area and images of living rooms I loved (many of them here on Houzz), we scheduled and had a phone consultation and OH.MY.GOSH! Jennifer's energy, excitement, ability to translate what I wanted to the redesign of my space - and all within my budget - was incredible! One of the most amazing things about Jennifer is that she patiently taught me many interior design secrets that I never knew but have since been able to apply to my whole home (e.g., hanging drapes higher than the top of the window, displaying décor items in threes, adding pops of complementary color, etc.) Needless to say, it is 2014 and Jennifer has let me hire her to design almost every room in my house! Since 2011, I’ve had two babies and she helped me design both nurseries. Jennifer also helped me revamp my master bedroom, TV room, and the sunroom! Currently, we are doing a whole house consult on a little lake cabin my husband and I recently purchased. Overall, Jennifer is a consummate professional, her fees are ridiculously reasonable, and she is able to “get into a space” and transform it simply by looking at before photos. Jennifer is a gem! I could go on and on about Jennifer…(and I hope to meet her in person one day soon!)”

“I have used Elena for my bussines in the past and was very happy with her services. The clean lines, sense of style and pragmatism defefinitly fits my needs. When it came time to remodel the second floor of our house there was no questions we would use Elena from D+Lena Design Inc for the task. The scope of work was to combine office and bonus room , remodel a master and kids bathroom and a master and two kids bedroom. Everything started out with a design board and a budget. After a few design meetings we decided the look and feel we wanted to accomplish. At this point Elena helped us find the right contractor ( no smal task) , picking out materials, supervising the installation and construction. My wife and I couldn't be happy of the outcome and the project finished almost on time and very much on budget. Elena and her good taste also continue to decide with my wife about decorations , artwork , bedspreads and many others aspect that goes in making a beautiful living space. We definitely got our money's worth, and we can wait to recommend Elena to our friends and colleagues. Sincerely Donato Bianchini”

“Before discovering Peggy from Dupuis Design, my experience with 2 prior "designers" was disappointing. First of all, Peggy is a pro. She understands how use layout to maximize views, while making certain the design fits the intended use. She redesigned our decks that we rarely used for the 12 years prior. Now they are a fun and comfortable place to hang out with friends and enjoy the formerly under appreciated ocean views. One of her best attributes is her ability to creatively modify relatively inexpensive decor and furniture and select only a few more expensive impact pieces to provide an overall luxurious feel to the space. Also, Peggy has a great attitude - she is professional and kind. Don't let her quiet disposition fool you - she is a tireless, fast, humble, and talented worker, who thankfully agreed to decorate the rest of our home, based on her incredible job with our decks.”

“Denise helped us design and space plan our new office. It is beautiful! She worked with us and really understood what we were looking for. Our new office is hip, beautiful and professional!”

“I recently hired Modianodesign to stage my listing in Los Angeles. Agi, the lead stager was fantastic, professional and a has a great eye on how to stage a space. What I loved the most was the unique pieces of furniture she has in her collection.”
