Interior Design in Portland

“I hired Debra Wilde to help us (me and my brother-in-law) decorate and furnish my apartment because of her excellent reputation. She guided us through the design process warm-heartedly and carefully, including and conferring with us at every step of the way. With a steady hand and an artistic eye.

The result was great. From the cozy and inviting living room to my stylish bedroom, the colors are impeccably tuned and furniture is beautifully configured. The arrangement of the photos and paintings is of gallery quality.

I recommend Debra most highly. My apartment is a lovely and calming place in which to spend time and looks elegant. If you want to work with a talented interior designer with the eyes of an artist, engage Debra Wilde.“

“I have been a friends and worked with Jeremy for many years now. Jeremy has a vast skill set and pays attention to all the details with every project.

“Bry and the team at Arcadia Staging consistently stage my listings beautifully. I appreciate her expertise and willingness to work within my clients’ constraints when needed. I always receive compliments from my sellers as well as from buyers and agents who come through the property. I highly recommend Arcadia Staging and plan to use them in my future listings. 5 stars all around!“

“We had the pleasure of working with Garrison and Lindsey on a kitchen and island and outdoor remodel. We have known Garrison personally for many years and had heard a lot about his business so we were excited to get his creativity on our project. Lindsey and Garrison were a pleasure to work with. They were good listeners and came back to us with creative and doable ideas and pushed back on us when needed but also brought new ideas to the table that we had no considered. They were detailed orientated, met all timelines, kept to budget and were flexible with us when needed. They delivered the details needed for our general contractor to run seamlessly with the project I would highly recommend them without hesitation and with a full-throated endorsement for any design project, large or small. The team there are really lovely people who are true design professionals“

“I love my new kitchen! Let’s Remodel came in and replaced everything except a couple of appliances which we reused, and our new kitchen works wonderfully. We did not change much from the previous layout except for getting a complete range instead of a cooktop and separate oven, but that change gave us more useful storage in the pantry cabinets. They didn’t have to move any walls, but otherwise gutted the whole thing, including removing soffits.
Pros:
• Pavel and Polina and their entire staff are lovely people and nice to work with.
• Both Pavel and Polina respond well to texts and were pretty easy to get ahold of.
• Polina is a great designer. She listened to our wants and needs and on the first try presented us with beautiful options for our cabinets, floor, and backsplash.
• We were able to live in the house while the remodel took place.
• The workers shuffled our furniture around as necessary for us. This was a great help.
• The finishes all came out beautifully.
• Removing our old square ceiling lights and replacing them with cans has been wonderful, and they did a great job of texturing the ceilings to match the existing brocade ceiling.
• They were able to install the fancy copper hood we bought.
• They managed to install the luxury vinyl plank floor throughout the house with no transitions. Beautiful!
• We had to replace some door and window frames which are stained throughout the house. They matched the stain perfectly.
• They knew the perfect thing for our corner cabinet. The whole thing pulls out for easy access.
Challenges:
• Pavel has a great crew, but he himself was not on site as often as we would have liked. This resulted in our catching a few errors that we then had to call about. Fortunately, we caught them before much work was lost. And there were only a few. The errors were cheerfully corrected.
• They got off schedule at one point and the schedule was not revised online to reflect the new reality.
• The job took a couple months longer than originally planned (partly our fault – see POD below, and partly theirs – finishing touches and our difficult hood).
Suggestions for you:
• Rent a POD. Our job included the new kitchen, new floors throughout the house, and painting all the walls. If it had just been the kitchen, we might have been able just to use the garage to store stuff. Maybe. But having to pack all the books and décor items, really maxed out the garage. And we forgot to account for the storage of construction materials in the garage as well. This really made it hard on the workers shuffling our furniture around. If we had rented a POD, we’d have been able to get some of the furniture out of the house and there would have been less shuffling. Pavel told us that the furniture shuffling really slowed them down, which makes total sense.
• Pay attention when Polina shows you all the fancy inserts for cabinets and drawers. You’ll want some.“

“We worked with Patrick Donaldson and Sarah Hurt at Harka on an extensive kitchen remodel that involved moving a structural wall. They provided valuable feedback on various design options, got us in touch with an excellent builder (Hayes Brothers), and served as an interface with the structural engineers during the construction phase. We are extremely pleased with the result.“

“Incredible selection & pricing! Top notch customer service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The piece I ordered came well wrapped and in perfect condition. It was even better in person that expected! Ordering process was easy as well.“

“I am a 70-year old retired lawyer, chemist, and CEO. I have hired and fired hundreds of people. I am impatient, pushy, and demanding because this is how I have built multiple successful businesses. We had Mari Design install motorized Lutron shades and drapes when we moved to the South Waterfront-Portland eleven years ago. They were not the cheapest, but they came highly recommended...so we selected them to do the work. Very good decision. These people know their business. They did a super job on the installation, and we have had zero problems over the last eleven years. Recently I made a mistake, and we had to reprogram one of the shades. One of their technical experts helped me over the phone and we successfully reprogramed one of the motorized shades. Mari Designs would not let me pay them. If you are making a long-term investment in your home, these folks are really solid. They are responsive, professional, and their products are first-class. I do not participate in social media and have never been on Facebook, Instagram, or the other waste-of-time garbage. But I know good work and high integrity. Those folks are the best.“

“Jenni and her team completely transformed our house from a "cold and dark" color and design scheme to bright and modern and my wife couldn't be happier. Our house was completely and newly remodeled when we purchased it in 2020, but we realized later the color schemes, lighting, cabinets, tile, countertops, etc. were dark and cold. My wife didn't even know what she wanted and Jenni's team had an exhaustive questionnaire and several discussions to come up with a proposal. Even after seeing all the materials and color schemes we couldn't visualize completely but when it was finished it was stunning. My wife now feels like this is her house as opposed to living in someone else's house. This interior design included the kitchen, dining, living, front bathroom, master bedroom and bathroom and lighting. She prescribed all new custom furniture, fabrics, carpet, area rug, lamps, overhead lights, mirrors, etc. Pretty much everything. We learned to make this work best you have to not only embrace the designer's overall look and feel but the detailed fabrics and materials and realize everything ultimately flows together to a beautiful finished product. We initially decided not to do our two guest bedrooms and office but after seeing the rest of the house we are now using Jenni's services to redesign them. It takes time and patience, especially in a supply constrained world, and in our case we had to live temporarily with the inconvenience of not having access to our kitchen, living room and master bedroom and bath but it was all worth it when we saw the finished design!“

“Bill and Pam were a pleasure to work with. From start to finish, they were professional, honest, offered excellent advice and stayed within the original estimate of bathroom remodel expenses. I enjoyed shopping with Pam and her suggestions were exactly what I wanted. Bill checked in each day on the job and communicated with me in regards to progress, updates and timelines. I would highly recommend Garden Home Interiors to others and will use them in the future.“

“I would strongly recommend Manolo Walls for your wallpaper install. Nelli and her team were knowledgeable and professional. The final product for our powder room looks incredible! Thank you Nelli and team!“

“Our company engaged Kami Gray Interiors to design the interior of the units at our multi-family project, The Robert in N. Portland. Additionally, we asked that she create a space in the lobby that had the aesthetic of a hip hotel lobby. Kami and her team nailed it. The unit interiors are modern and timeless and beyond their appearance; the selections were thoughtfully chosen for their durability as well. Kami's design in the lobby exceeded our high expectations. We wanted to create a community space that feels cozy and inviting and felt more like a hotel than an apartment building. Kami used a combination of materials to pull the space together; including the addition of a fireplace, a brick accent wall, and a unique tile fireplace surround to bring the space together. Additionally, her choices for furnishings, lighting, and artwork finished the space to give it a comfortable lounge feel. Both the units and the lobby have been extremely well received by the residents. We will certainly be using Kami on future projects.Services: Interior decorating“

“One of our Hunter Douglas shaded broke, and H.D. recommended these guys to repair it. From the very first phone call, the experience was awesome. Long story short: I took the shade to their Portland location (NE Broadway), the problem was quickly diagnosed and the fix explained, and I got a call two days later saying my repaired shade was ready for pickup. Now it works like new. Friendly, professional employees; full transparency about how things will go; quality work; quick turnaround... We couldn't be happier.“

“Angela has immaculate taste and an eye for color and pattern that serve to create designs that delight and inspire. She’s an aesthetic genius with professionalism and kindness to boot. Can’t recommend highly enough!“

“Great service, selection and prices. Orders came in a timely manner which was extraordinary given the COVID related delays in most businesses. Very happy with the tile and flooring!“
