Interior Designers & Decorators in Cedar Falls, NC

“I would give Barb Lipe of Watermark Interiors 10 stars if that was an option!! Not only can I attest to Barb's amazing creativity, ease to work with, and all around professionalism, a host of many women who come through our offices would agree that she is a highly skilled and gifted designer -- even if they don't know her name. As the Executive Director of a non-profit counseling ministry for women, my vision was to create a space for our clients that was sacred -- beautifully decorated, warm, safe, and inviting. I called on Barb to help me and she was wonderful. We have been in this location for 5 years and still I get asked who did the decorating. I've also worked with Barb personally at my home. Because I'm the director of a non-profit (meaning limited budget), she was willing to work with me in a way that I could afford a professional decorator. I would tell her exactly how much time I could afford and she did everything possible to maximize that time and give me the most and best of her for my money. Not only is she creative and very good at what she does, she is also just plain FUN. A wise, beautiful, genuine woman -- no pretenses whatsoever. You could never go wrong hiring Barb Lipe of Watermark Interiors for your design needs!!”

“I have worked with Kathleen Monroe on multiple residential projects, and have been very satisfied with the results. Her expertise has been instrumental in bringing out a high sense of quality and style. Her skill with color and materials selection is excellent. She is a delight to work with, very flexible, and well worth the cost. I highly recommend Kathleen Monroe Design.”

“Patti Allen and Stephanie James are the best in the business. Not only do they both have impeccable taste and style, but they are honest and willing to work extremely hard and long hours to create exactly what you want in your home from floor to ceiling. I've worked with many designers before and I've never had a better experience than I did with Allen & James Interior Design. My home is in San Francisco, California and I was working with a limited budget and short timeline. Patti and Stephanie were able to meet all of my needs without a single hitch. They operate out of the largest retail furniture store in the United States so you know they are getting the best prices and furnishing options. I recommend their services 100% and will use them anytime I need ANYTHING for my home.”

“I needed help with my tired old basement and Robin came to my rescue. She is especially good at color. We also used a wallpaper in the bathroom that was fun and bold. She turned an old oak dresser into a vanity and it turned out great! We added a beautiful fireplace and hardwood floors as well. She was on time and budget and a delight to work with. I would hire her again for sure.”

“Maggie is incredible to work with! She puts you instantly at ease with her warmth and truly takes so much stress out of renovating or building. She is incredibly talented at sourcing and bringing your dream to life. She is so creative and very professional. Would absolutely recommend!!!”

“SR Design Group, Inc was very knowledgeable in the design, planning and implementation of my kitchen and laundry room remodel. They were very professional throughout the process from start to finish and the project came out higher than my original expectations. SR Design Group provided me with a clear schedule and timeline at the start of the project and did a great job of adhering to that schedule and keeping me up to date on any deviations from the plan. I have a kitchen that is both beautiful and functional thanks to SR Design group and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for quality and service.”

“Cheryl doesn’t try to make your home look just like hers…she listens carefully and pays attention to YOUR lifestyle, taste, and budget. I am very pleased with the attention to detail, color, and layout suggestions, as well as the design resources Cheryl has shared with me to help me make my home look welcoming and function just right for my family.”

“E-consulting with Claire Bell has been a wonderful experience! I was browsing photos on houzz.com and came across some light fixtures that I thought were stunning. I asked the designer a question, and she promptly gave me an answer and offered her services to locate the sconces I wanted. I had never heard of e-consulting with a designer before, and I was a little lost when it came to the overall design of our new house, so I was relieved that Claire led me in the right direction. After showing Claire pictures of what I liked, she was able to narrow down my style preferences and keep me from straying off course. It was a huge relief to have some guidance. Here are the benefits I found from using Claire’s online consultation services: •Accessibility: I live in rural Nebraska—far from any contemporary/modern interior designers. Being connected electronically helped me find some up-to-date guidance where none was available. •No appointments necessary: not everyone can find time in “normal” business hours to meet with a designer. Our communication via email fit perfectly into my schedule, or lack thereof, since I work from home and also shuffle around two preschool-age kids from daycare, music, and school. •Honest opinion: Claire is not afraid to tell me if my ideas are straying from the main style objective, and she offers alternatives as well. She respects my tastes but lets me know if they are not necessarily tasteful. •Expert opinion: since I live far from an urban center, I have to shop online, but I’m often unable to tell a cheap knockoff from the real thing, and the amount of choices can be overwhelming. Since Claire has seen, in person, many of the pieces I was interested in, she was able to vouch for their looks, explain in better detail, and steer me away from lower-quality items. She was able to provide her own snapshots of fixtures in actual stores so that I could see them in a setting and in “real life.” •Flexibility: Claire is able to work within my budget, which was fairly tight, so she helped me maximize on looks, saving the more expensive pieces for places with the greatest impact. She let me decide which aspects of the home I needed help with the most, and that’s where she focused her attention. •Fairness: if I found a piece online for a lower price, Claire would honor it if she could or let me shop elsewhere if I found an amazing deal. •Positive attitude: cheerful, accommodating, and friendly, Claire was very fun to work with. While e-consulting doesn't allow an actual face-to-face exchange of ideas, although Claire does offer to Skype, it was the perfect service for me because of my location, busy schedule, and smaller budget. I was able to get the benefits of a high-end designer at a fraction of the cost and on my own time. I highly recommend Chic Abode Interiors, and I’m excited to continue collaborating with Claire Bell. If anyone has questions about my experience, I’d be happy to answer them.

“I have never known anyone with Lynda's talent for taking a vintage or thrifted item, repurposing it and giving it a new life. She is a gifted visual genius. You can give Lynda a budget, and she will go and find what you need through her broad network of thrift and vintage sources, re-do it for you while mixing it with new pieces and turn your room or home into something that is comfortable, visually beautiful and more than you could ever have imagined it could be for that amount of money...a room that could be photographed for any magazine. Lynda has over 4 million followers on Pinterest and there is a reason -she has a unique eye that can pick up pattern and detail and arrange and juxtapose them in ways that others cannot. She is a very sweet person who works well with others and who listens and who puts her heart and soul into her client's projects. 5 stars is not enough for what Lynda will do for your home if you should hire her. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”

“I was building my dream home, when the construction started I quickly became overwhelmed by all the decisions to be made. I brought Jessica and Sydney in on the project , it was the best decision I ever made. They are so great to work with. They make choices that I wouldn't have thought of and my home is going to look fantastic . They respect your budget and also the fact that sometimes you say no without making you uncomfortable. They've made this a fun, exciting project. I would highly recommend them if you want to get it right the first time”
