Colour Consulting Services in Carmel, CA

“I will forever look back on my home reconstruction in two periods, the before and after Lynde. Before Lynde, I was stressed and overwhelmed trying to coordinate all the finishes on our rebuild. After Lynde, I was able to see a vision for our new home in terms of color and finishes, and all the worry over whether or not I was choosing the right thing finally subsided. Lynde shopped with me and helped me select tile, flooring, vanities, countertops, and hardware. She understood the limitations of my budget, but without making it a limiting factor. She has a great aesthetic, both timeless and elegant, and her color sense is on point. While working with her, I even learned how to pick up on the undertones behind colors--something I'd never noticed before. She helped us select all our paint colors for both inside and outside our home, and I am complimented on our colors every time someone comes over. And best of all, she is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is easy to talk to, warm, and kind. I joked that she should call herself a construction-counselor because she does such a great job putting her clients at ease. And her reasonable hourly rates make it easy to bring her on for smaller projects, too. I am looking forward to working with her on selecting my furniture. I love having the security of knowing that when I invest in pieces for my home, they are all going to come together under Lynde's guidance. My only regret is not meeting her sooner!”

“Kim is wonderful to work with. She really pours her heart into her projects and you can feel that this is truly her passion. As a client, you feel very at ease that Kim is going to put in the work to make everything perfect. She does not cut corners and will help you understand what is worth investing in vs. what you can get away spending less on. Kim spends the time to understand her clients' vision but somehow always makes the end piece 100X better. Not only that but she is indeed a lady of great taste so for me it is always very easy to put my trust in her vision vs mine! She understands the importance of your living space and has helped me with projects large and small. 10/10 would highly recommend Kim to not only make over your space but also spend the time to educate you while doing so.”

“What a great team to work with! Ricco Style has a very creative, smart, budget conscious and stylish team of designers. They listen to you and your needs, no matter your budget they will work with you and they will never make you feel that you are not an important client. They come up with great solutions, I have an awkward lay out in my house, and they came up with very creative ways to make it work. Thank you Ricco Style team! I would definitely recommend them to my friends.”

“10/10 recommend Kelsey for your home projects ! As new home owners, we can’t thank Kelsey enough for taking us on as clients and customizing our property to become our forever home. We took advantage of the low interest rates but found it near impossible to decide what to do with a blank slate of high ceilings and open concept rooms that were empty and without character. Kelsey promptly responded and analyzed our space beyond our expectations to correct these issues of a new build. It’s truly amazing what a professional eye can create where we struggled. She was thorough with our consultation and vetted us on color schemes and our overall vibe that we would enjoy with each season. It was important to me that the colors were earth-toned without being overwhelming or bland and she balanced it out beautifully. There is nothing more frustrating (that we came across) than getting stuck on figuring out what our growing family would require but with Kelsey, she listened and gave us a phenomenal kitchen with storage space utilization we desperately needed. Our kitchen is now an optimal hosting feature . I had so many ideas to throw at her and she directed them in ways that made the space cohesive and surpassed all of my visions. Thank you Kelsey brown!”

“I can't say enough wonderful things about Mahlah and Design by Mahlah!! She has such a keen eye for what colors, textures and sizes will work in a space. She is super friendly, a great listener and practices the utmost professionalism.”

“I have been working with Julie Gardner for nearly a year and recommend her highly. She is easy to work with, has a great eye, is able to suggest a range of design solutions, and works with wonderful fabricators and trades people. She has provided design, production, and installation services in a timely manner for a powder room, library, and guest room, as well as consultation on a home office and fabric selection for several smaller projects. Julie takes full responsibility for her work and has made sure that I was completely satisfied with every detail. Her professional demeanor and patience make her a pleasure to work with.”

“We had the opportunity to work together with Sarah Boyle of Boyle Design on a full kitchen remodel. We were impressed with her design acumen and professional demeanor. We shared a client who had an eclectic taste in design and required excellence in its implementation. Sarah did a great job in satisfying the client's desire with her design and further did a great job working with us to ensure the excellence in implementation that was so critical to our client.”

“Severine Secret act GO2Design Studio has a great sense of style, proportion and color. She recently designed my powder room, navigating me through tile, sink, faucet, etc choices. She knows what works and what will be right for the style of your home. She's also able to flex and reset when you change your mind or go in a different direction! She came in on budget and in the time frame requested. She also helped me with my family room, pulling together what had been two separate spaces, making them cohesive and cosy where before they had been cold and nonfunctioning. I love both spaces. Really great job. I would highly recommend her for any any job, large or small.”

“Working with Jen was the second best decision I made this year. The first was adopting a dog, which nothing can compare to (to be fair). It’s hard to express how wonderful it was to work with Jen. She redesigned my home to be more comfortable and inspiring than I could have imagined. I’ve lived in my apartment for six years, but it hasn’t felt like the home I’ve wanted until now. Jen helped me to realize what I wanted, and transformed my place from a bachelor pad to a lovely space for hosting friends and creating shared memories. She understood my aesthetic better than I understood it myself (warm, natural colors, wood, classic, masculine). She provided a range of options within, below, and slightly above my budget. She took care of everything from ordering to tracking to installation. Most important, she became a friend. She is such a lovely and supportive person. She genuinely cared and poured her heart into the work. Every guest I’ve hosted in the month since Jen completed the redesign has expressed their love for space, unprompted. Jen helped me to create, and then to realize a vision for my home: the place I work, dream, fall in love, and heal from heartbreak. My one regret is that I didn’t work with Jen sooner to create the home I always wanted. I would work with her again in a heartbeat, and I plan to in the future.”

“We hired Vance to help us quickly furnish our newly purchased Carmel By The Sea cottage so we could begin enjoying the use of it quickly. She was so fun and inspiring to work with. She and her wonderful assistant, Kim, went over and beyond handling the ordering and delivery of the furniture! I would highly recommend this team for any type of design work you need. They are wonderful to work with and they both have fabulous artistic talent. Thanks Vance and Kim for a job well done!!! We love our cozy, new cottage by the sea! :-)”
