"Sarah is wonderful! Do not hesitate to use her. She has done multiple projects for us. She resigned out kitchen on a budget and it looks beautiful. She worked with us to pick out living and dinning room furniture. She designed/reimagined our primary and primary bathroom. Year later she designed my son's nursery. She is detailed and works closely with her clients. I still get compliments on my home bc of her. I refer her to anyone who needs help with designing a beautiful home."

"CTID was (is!) great to work with -- they are still helping us with some final decorating items. We were new to town so Charles was a great help in introducing us to options, listening to us and translating what we wanted into recommendations. CTID sourced most if not all our materials from wood flooring, tile and countertops for kitchen and baths, kitchen cabinets and appliances, bath fixtures and vanities, and stone for the fireplace. They designed a built-in bed for the main bedroom and found us a wall bed for the guest room, Afghan rugs, living room furniture and cabinetry and outdoor furniture. Nearly all facets of our design and build were shepherded by Charles. We would definitely work with Charles again and it is clear from the various suppliers we met through him that he is highly respected."

"I worked with Denise to remodel a bathroom and am very happy with the results. Denise helped us design changes to the bathroom and coordinated a reliable contractor. She sourced the material we needed and presented different sample options, which made choosing them simple. She handled the ordering and kept us updated on timing and delivery throughout the process. The design is beautiful and fits our home perfectly and the quality of work is exceptional. I highly recommend Denise, as she listened to what we wanted and helped us create an amazing result. She listens, manages the moving parts and is great at communicating! Denise is an excellent choice and I plan on using her in future projects."

"We love the work completed by the employees of San Diego Premier Outdoor. They did a fantastic job of paving all sides of our home, redoing a 30 year old backyard, and creating a cool oasis in which to enjoy outdoor living. Our dog thinks it was all done for her. (see photos) Emily listened to what we wanted redone, and with her creative design ideas, fashioned areas that were beyond our wildest expectations! We just keep walking around and smiling. Andy and his crew of expert craftsmen worked non stop. Neighbors came by daily to find out what was being done and all commented on the work ethic of the crew. Emily came to the site at least twice a day and kept in constant touch as to what was happening and what was to be done next. The paver and light installation that now surround our home, pet turf installation, pergola, and an old wall that needed to be stuccoed and capped were completed to perfection. This is an honest company that is reasonable priced, easy to work with, and strives to meet the customerâ  s wishes. They are reliable, on time, and deliver on their promises. Emily has a a high degree of integrity that is accompanied by a great sense of humor. We highly recommend San Diego Premier Outdo/Users/myralfluty/Desktop/IMG_1424.pdfor. /Users/myralfluty/Desktop/IMG_1421.pdf/Users/myralfluty/Desktop/IMG_1418.pdf Myra F."

"Our front landscape was in desperate need of makeover landscaping. C&H Gardens has trimmed and removed many very large trees for me, over the last 6 years. It was an easy decision to choose Kent and C&H to do our landscaping project. Design was agreed upon and work began in mid-May 2020 and completed as designed in 3 weeks, on time and at cost projection. The professional work crew and design elements that added great visual quality to the street view was more than we expected. Our family and friends agree the work and view was fantastic. We will have an easy choice on our next project for the back yard...C&H is our contractor. Thanks Kent Horner, job well done."

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Rancho Bernardo, 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.
