"I’m So Happy With My New Kitchen! I had my kitchen remodeled recently by CA Cabinets Inc., and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The quality was outstanding — beautiful materials, smooth drawers, elegant countertops, and a clean, modern design that completely transformed my home. Lior and his team were professional, quick, and very easy to work with. They kept everything clean, communicated clearly, and delivered results that exceeded my expectations. I’m truly thrilled with my new kitchen. If you’re thinking about remodeling, this is the company you want to hire!"

"Our front yard needed some structure. Gadi helped design and build two entry pillars in stone masonry, plus a new walkway to the door. The old path was narrow and cracked, and the new one is wide and fits the property better. The pillars gave us a real entrance feel. They also ran low-voltage lights inside the pillars so they light-up at night. It's not flashy, just clean and sharp. The stone matches the front steps, and everything feels like it belongs now. Gadi and his crew kept things simple and stuck to our request. Would work with them again."

"Dee is fantastic! We loved the design Mike came up with for our backyard makeover. Then once construction started we realized we had made choices that needed to be changed. In every case Dee's suggestions (stucco the walls instead of paint, don't use DG next to the pool, run wood fence topper horizontally) turned out to the best. We are so glad we listened to him. Our finished backyard looks like an art installation but one where you can feel comfortable and at home. Now a year later we had them come back for a few tweaks and again Dee's suggestions were the right ones. We are happy we choose G & L and plan to use them again next year when we tackle our front yard."

"Wonderful, honest, reliable, fair and professional company! they just finished remodel my bathroom and the results are beyond my expectations. Eran was our main guy. He was the one that came over, designed the bathroom, managed the orders and people and made sure that the work will be complete on time and within our budget. We are grateful that he was the one that we hired and we highly recommend him and his people to anyone who is interesting in any remodeling project."

"Everyone at Green Republic was extremely professional, detail-oriented and did exactly what the said. They came out to do a design consultation which made me rethink some of my original plans. Scheduling the work was extremely simple and the work was done on schedule, on budget and they accommodated any minor changes or tweaks. Once the job was done and we turned the sprinklers back on there was a minor issue; Green Republic came out the next day and resolved it immediately. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or use them again."

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Malibu, 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.
