"I am a young professional man and recently purchased my first (the 1950s and VERY) outdated home with my wife. I desired a contemporary style, so shortly thereafter employed the services of Cdesigns. I have to say that working with Connie nothing short of amazing. She completely understood what I wanted but went on to explain we needed to blend my style and my wife's style with the age and architecture of the house for a cohesive design. Connie designed a floor plan to remove a wall and blend the small kitchen, dining and living room together. Now we have a beautiful open concept home that includes new cabinets with loads of storage; a LARGE kitchen island around which to gather and entertain, new appliances, updated flooring throughout and a remodeled bathroom. The home is light, airy and more spaciously with an efficient flow of traffic and a style that reflects our personalities. We have hosted multiple social events at our place since the remodel and we constantly receive compliments on the choices we (Connie) made for our home! We would not hesitate to hire her again and look forward to when we can purchase another property and bring her in to make it the best it can be. Thank you Connie and Cdesigns for an amazing experience!!"

"Sarah was great at getting to know what styles I liked and understanding what I really wanted my place to look like. She came back with options to choose from and adjusted just a bit after giving me room to provide my feedback. The designs came out great and people are really impressed when they come to my home. They always ask who designed it, and now you know 🤣 I highly recommend Sarah if you want similar outcomes! I really enjoy coming home everyday now, and it’s very much thanks to Sarah’s interior designs! She also helped coordinate some of the purchasing, which was super helpful, and is generally well organized. She used to work for a firm that charges much more, so you’re getting all that experience without having to pay for quite so much overhead."

"Charles is super talented, professional, punctual and responsive...so are all his contractors! You can rely on him for all facets of your design and decorating. He can either create the entire vision or keep you on point with your own. We loved how he made suggestions that were outside of the box (some of which we incorporated) but was not in the least offended when we decided to stick to our own choices. We couldn't have done it with him!"

"Denise was an absolute pleasure to work with during my kitchen redesign project. Despite the initial setback of a flood, she made the process so easy and stress-free. Denises expertise and guidance in identifying my personal design style were invaluable, and her ability to bring it to life was amazing. She even went above and beyond by coordinating with my contractors while I was out of town, ensuring that everything went according to plan. When we encountered a roadblock with the flooring being backordered, Denise was able to make an executive decision and choose the perfect floor for our kitchen without any input from me. Needless to say, she exceeded all expectations, and we were thrilled with the result. Denise truly has a talent for interior design, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to embark on a renovation project."

"Our remodel was done good. Fito the foreman was very easy to work with. Him and his crew were cooperative and helped us with things we needed done. Our project manager was good and he coordinated the other contractors to come out to do the railing and shower door and the deep cleaning for the house after the job was done. We really appreciated that. We want to thank you for everyone’s hard work and their diligence in working on our project. Best Mimi and Alvin Yee"

"I called Jessica when my regular decorator was unable to help me redecorate my bathrooms and I was not disappointed! Jessica responds to all questions and phone calls almost immediately and I absolutely love her choices. My husband was not excited about updating our bathrooms until he saw Jessica’s mood-boards and now even he can’t wait to get started on the project. My only concern is that once the bathrooms are complete we will want to do more updating! Thank you Jessica and Dani! Would definitely recommend. I am a retired real estate agent so I have worked with many home stagers and decorators throughout my 35 year career and I think Jessica’s talents are among the best."

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Solana Beach, 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.
