Weekend consultations Interior Designers & Decorators in Santa Monica, CA

“In one word...AMAZING! We found Drew after a less than stellar experience with another designer. Drew came to the rescue and was incredible to work with. He was so organized, responsive, and creative that it made the whole process much easier and dare I say even fun. The final product during out so good and he worked within our budget, which wasn't huge. He found creative solutions to so many problems we had. He is absolutely talented and knows how to design for the clients taste and not just pick what he likes. When he presented options, there were always multiple choices and he showed how they relate to the other design choices which was really helpful. He also provided floor plan layouts so we knew exactly where everything needed to go during install. I would absolutely highly recommend Drew to anyone and everyone and plan to work with him any chance we get in the future!”

“I hired Ava and Arlene for a small project for an hourly fee: space-planning and color palette recommendation for a new home my husband and I just moved into. They not only previewed the space once in person to get a feel for it and take photos to do their magic, but also communicated along the way. The day of our working session was a flurry of ideas, moving furniture and snap decisions, and by 3 p.m. that day, wow... the place was transformed! Plus, I was armed with a folder full of blueprints and inspo photos that they had compiled. Highlights: 1. They respected our budget and didn't try to upsell us. 2. hey told us exactly how to prepare to make the most of our working session. 3. Persistence & creative solutions: A mover insisted that a 101" sectional sofa could not be moved into our TV room . ... think a 1920s Spanish house with low ceilings and tight corners to turn. I'm writing this review from that sofa in that TV room. Yes, they studied the angles and even decided to take some hallway doors off to save that sofa from me having to sell it. Just amazing. AA Design Firm aced their mountain of a task - merging my style with my husband's style, inside a third style we we were unfamiliar with (Spanish colonial revival). Totally worth it.”
