"Spot on. We got connected and yes this work was done perfectly, professional and clean. Extremely satisfied of the whole process: discussing the project, getting quotes, ordering, communication and the work itself. I asked Peter to get it done fast and yes it wasdone very fast, he even gave me a second installation date in case the weather wouldnâ t allow the works. Will I hire again? Yes without thinking about it"

"Dora Brigham Interiors did a great job on our wine cellar project. My husband was dreaming to build a wine room in our house. Dora helped us to make it happen! Dora and her team acted with professionalism throughout the entire process and helped us at every step of the way. Dora spent time with us understanding what we like and ultimately designed the perfect project. Dora and the team is extremely responsive and attentive to details. They work with good contractor and vendors and make sure everything is done perfectly. We would absolutely recommend Dora Brigham Interiors to anyone considering a design project."

"My wife and I are extremely pleased with our experience working with Dylan Baker. He was instrumental in transforming our dated 1980s bathroom into a truly beautiful space. The remodel was a fantastic success. (Before vs. After)"

Customers say: Quality work

"I recently worked with Design X Architects on a tenant improvement (TI) project. We encountered several difficulties with the city that required design changes that I did not want to make. Design X was able to fight for what I wanted and get it through as is. They have a deep understanding of city codes and zoning, which enabled them to argue back to the city and make our vision a reality. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an architect."

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Santa Ana, 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.
