"My husband and I were living in CT and decided to hire an interior designer to help us decorate and furnish a new home we purchased in CA. The impetus for this big move from CT to sunny CA was a change in my husbands work and my struggle with health issues. We had no prior experience with using the services of a designer and felt overwhelmed with the task of picking out paint colors and new furniture from such a distance. After several zoom meetings with Connie Burgher, we felt confident she understood our vision to create a serene coastal home environment. Throughout the process, Connie was available, professional, and thoughtful in helping us make choices that fit our budget and style. She also coordinated work with excellent contractors and painters in the area. We are thrilled how Connie helped us transform our new home into a stunning coastal oasis."

"I cannot recommend Emily and her team enough! Emily has an amazing eye for design, and made our dream backyard a reality. My wife and I told her what we wanted, she made some great suggestions and showed us all of our different options. Her team came the next day to begin prepping our backyard for when the pavers arrived the following Monday. They always showed up early and worked incredibly hard to finish our yard several days ahead of the original schedule. Emily is a true perfectionist and her attention to detail is incredible - professionalism and craftsmanship at its finest. I highly recommend Emily and wouldn't even consider using anyone else!"

"After they redid our counter tops and island, we had them paint out cabinets and build shelves up to the ceiling. The communication was on point this time and the results speak for themselves. Would definitely recommend them to anyone for any home project."

"The work completed was of the highest quality. Danny, the owner of DM Building, is a fair and honest business owner, and very responsive. He has a very skilled group of people and they did a great job from start to finish. Our foreman, Scott, who treated the project like it was his own home, provided excellent guidance and help throughout the remodel. The attention to detail was impressive and suggestions were made along the way which made the house even better. Most of the workers are employees which helps in scheduling work. We did work with some contractors recommended and managed by DM Building for kitchen and laundry cabinets, as well as tiling and flooring--and they were professional and did excellent work. In my case, I had never done a remodel and my husband was the main contact in initiating the work. Unfortunately, he died when we were in the middle of the rebuild. Danny, Scott and his crew were very supportive and helped me through the remodel, over and above my expectations, accommodating additional changes and working with me to get everything completed. The house is beautiful."

"We recently had the opportunity to work with Brothers landscaping, I can't say enough positive things about them. Luis was very professional and helped us designed a wonderful backyard with a rose garden and a play area for the kids and an additional area where the dogs could do their business. Brothers landscape executed our vision perfectively. His crew was on time and keep their area very organized throughout the project. Luis gave me a completion date and finished on time and stayed on budget. If you're looking for a straightforward guy with straight forward pricing, look no further."

"I wanted decorative rocks to cover bare dirt in my backyard. The job was done quickly, at a fair price, and to my satisfaction. I have asked Juan to come back to do landscape maintenance on the property on a regular basis."

"We called Sheen to give an estimate for some work on our kitchen. Sheen was easy to talk to on the phone and showed up to the house right on time. After carefully evaluating our situation, Sheen determined that another approach to our issues would work better than what we had planned. And even though his company doesn't do that type of work, he spent time explaining things in a way that I could understand and gave me practical, helpful suggestions. I would definitely call Specialty Home Improvement and Sheen for future home improvement projects Thanks!"

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Escondido, CA

Start by defining your goals and budget. Collect photos of rooms you love, jot down must-have features, and list what isn’t working in your current space. Share these details—and your target budget—during the first meeting. The clearer you are, the quicker a designer can translate your vision into a workable plan and keep costs in check.

Yes, working with an interior designer can help you save money. Designers prevent costly missteps, secure trade discounts on furniture and finishes, and coordinate the project so you don’t pay twice for the same work. Their upfront fee often pays for itself in avoided change orders, tighter timelines, and materials purchased at below-retail pricing.

A full interior design project wraps up in two to three months, on average, while a decorating job takes four to eight weeks. Timelines stretch if you add structural changes, custom millwork, or specialty materials, and unexpected shipping or permit delays can tack on extra days. Talk with your designer about project milestones and build in a little wiggle room.

Interview at least three pros whose portfolios match your style. Review their credentials and ask for references. During a face-to-face or virtual meeting, discuss your goals, budget, and timeline, and make sure their communication style and fee structure feel comfortable. The right designer combines technical know-how with a creative approach that clicks with you.
