Claudia was very professional and has a great eye for design. She gave us great ideas which we have since implemented. The downside was she charged too much for her service. She had a minimum 5 hour consultation which, frankly, is too long to spend talking about anything. She also sold us on having access to her dealer discounts at various stores, however, she only offered half of her discount which meant she would make substantially more money just from coordinating the transaction. We ended up getting the full discount by other means which saved us over $2K.
Description of Work: We wanted someone to come and give us interior design ideas for a couple rooms.

I had a consultation session with Claudia recently. It was a very productive and enjoyable experience. She communicates effectively, quickly understanding my needs and wants and coming up with great suggestions. At the end of the session, I not only have clear plans for the family and living rooms, but also a beautiful side table that I would never have found on my own in our living room. I am very thankful for her help. She saved me the headache of deciding on colors, space planning and furniture selection. I will definitely recommend her to my friends and choose her for my next project.

We hired Claudia for 5 hours. She came to our house right on time, and we spent 5 full hours working together on every aspect of our design. After 4 hours we went to the tile store and ordered the flooring and wall tiles. We were exhausted, but really pleased to have made all the decisions in a single day. Claudia was superb throughout. She listened carefully, but also offered her opinions and new ideas, many of which we had not thought of. We would definitely hire her again for any of our design needs.
Description of Work: Claudia did a complete bathroom deign for us, including helping us choose all fixtures and materials for floors, walls, and vanity.

Finding and hiring Claudia to help us to come up with a color palette for our new house was one of the the best decisions we could have done. It will save us a huge amount of time, lots of heated discussions and wracked nerves. Our meeting with Claudia was very productive. Since she came fully prepared for the meeting and was very organized, we were able to make decisions about colors/materials for the living room, kitchen and two bathrooms: that was awesome!!! Her expertise, impeccable taste & personalized service is hard to find and she shares her resources with her clients. Claudia wasn't the first interior designer we talked to. Based on my previous experience I was very anxious about the upcoming meeting. To my big surprise I enjoyed the interior design session with her. She is thoughtful & a good listener. She was able to assists to two individuals with very different tastes. Being very tired that day I forgot to ask some important questions during the meeting. I emailed those questions to her and within hours got a very helpful response. Thank you, Claudia, for being available and supportive even after your official obligations had been fulfilled! It is very much appreciated. If we need any interior designer's assistance in the future, now we know where to go.

This was the first time we've used a designer and we feel we hit the jackpot with Claudia. She has excellent taste and a sense of style such that our home has the cohesive, modern look we were hoping to achieve--plus it's comfortable. She charged a (reasonable) flat fee, and advised and shopped with us for an entire house full of new furniture and rugs. All recommendations were excellent, as were the subcontractors she uses. As with other reviewers, I would not make a move without consulting with Claudia first! She is conscientious, responsive, and a lovely person to deal with.

I asked her to come over and give me some color ideas. She has done it and she did a great job. She will give me an estimate on interior design with colors when she's got it all together. She has done a great job on playing telephone tag with me and kept calling me back when I missed her, which I really appreciate. She's a very good listener as well. She came out right on time and she made an extra effort. Even though it was the last minute that I called her out, she came the very next day.

Claudia helped us pick out hardwood flooring and carpet for our new home and it is beautiful. With her great contractors, we were able to have it installed before we moved in. She also gave us advice on sofas, rugs, and a chandelier. She is great to work with and can tailor advice based on client tastes.

Claudia is an extremely talented design professional. She was punctual, courteous, and extremely helpful during our 5 hour consultation. We had a ton of questions pertaining to some small projects around our house as well as a major addition we are adding to our home and she handled all of it with energetic grace. She has an excellent eye for design, particularly the modern style. I appreciated how she kept our stylistic preferences in mind but emphasized what was truly going to work with the style of house we have. She gave us great tips and ideas on how to nudge our home into a more modern style without going too extreme --since the outside of our home is a bit more traditional. She had excellent advice. I would work with Claudia again in a heartbeat and have plans to hire her again for a full project in the near future.
Description of Work: Claudia took 5 hours to give us detailed advice, opinions, and overall design ideas for several projects in our house.

We hired Claudia to help us plan some remolding after a recent home purchase. In two hours she was able to give us very valuable advice about color, style, and tile/carpet/floor choices. She was even able to recommend great vendors and store locations for supplies. We definitely recommend her to others and we plan to hire her to do more work in the future for us.
Description of Work: Claudia is great! Can't wait to use her again.

Claudia also chose quality contractors that were timely, responsive, and fairly priced. They also did an amazing job on the wood flooring (we have lots of stairs) and the tile in our bathrooms. I always felt they were honest, professional and respectful of our home. The best part about our home remodel was Claudia's vision and phenomenal professionalism. I continue to be so incredibly impressed with her responsiveness and follow-through. If everyone was as service oriented as Claudia, the world would be a better place. As an added bonus, she has a spectacular sense of humor, which is really nice when you are trying to choose flooring, paint colors, or anything else that isn't always easy to do. It bears noting that she charged a fair flat rate for the entire project except for a little shopping trip that occurred several months after the main project. Lastly, she makes you feel like she cares about your home as much as you do, which I think is a rarity. I highly recommend Claudia to anyone for any interior design service. She will exceed your expectations in every way.
Description of Work: Claudia provided interior design services for our entire home remodel. She provided the contractors for the reflooring, painting and window treatments of every room of our 3,500 square foot home. She also consulted on lighting fixtures, bathroom fixtures, mirrors, furniture and the layouts for the dining room, family room, and living room. She also shopped with us for furniture for the main rooms of our house. Whenever we needed to make a decision on flooring, painting or window treatments, she provided us with stellar choices. Her sense of style and design is remarkable. She has an innate ability to make perfect decisions on every aspect of a design project. I often found myself in awe of her vision and bold confidence in every decision she makes. But, she was also open to our suggestions too. It took me two years to talk my husband into hiring an interior design consultant and after working with Claudia for the last 7 months, he doesn't want to make any decisions without her anymore. Simply put, Claudia helped transform our house that had great bones into a beautiful, warm home. She was so extremely professional, competent and conscientious that our major home remodel was almost painless. The only painful part was having to pack our stuff for the reflooring and painting in each room.

The project took over one year and increased in scope from the original vision. Claudia was very respectful of our decisions and helped to hunt down a number of special preferences. She is personable and wonderful to work with. We bought a short sale home and took it down to the studs. The entire project was fantastic, especially when considering the problems people have in construction projects. The design was fantastic and she worked well with our contractor. Claudia worked with me to pick out every door hinge, lighting fixture, tile surface, hardware and and fixture. She met me at numerous showrooms to bring the project together. This project had numerous details and was may times overwhelming. I was fortunate to have such an amazing team.
Description of Work: Claudia provided the interior design for our entire home, including kitchen, baths, family room, living room, dining room and guest room. In addition, she consulted on the tile and design of our pool and front exterior design. Her fees are fair. Our job was billed at a flat rate. We worked with Claudia for over one year on the details of our project. Without fail, the consistency of her professional manner was always forefront. Her phone calls and deadlines were always timely. In the kitchen and master bath, she provided 3D renderings of the project, allowing us to share in her vision. She selected the tile, the cabinetry and marble surfaces. Claudia has a fabulous, creative, soft modern style. She is professional, competent and has thorough follow through. Numerous individuals from contractors, neighbors and friends have all requested photos of the work done on our home. Claudia is amazing, and we love our home.

A do's list: Have faith in her design, relax and enjoy the ride. Don'ts list: Don't alter the design mid-way through. Focus to stay on the budget. (Claudia always kept me on track).
Description of Work: I do highly recommend Claudia Morales as your interior designer. She came in under budget and our three bathrooms were completed on time. She selected an excellent contractor; he is an artist/craftsman himself. Her company is reliable, dependable, tried and true. Our new bathrooms have increased the value of our home 78%. Top notch material and custom design!

I worked with Claudia on a major remodel of my condo in 2007-2008 and could not be happier with her work. She is enormously creative, incredibly knowledgeable, dependable, energetic and has a fantastic attitude. She kept the entire project on budget and on time. Her attention to detail is extraordinary and she is always willing to go the extra mile to make her client happy.
Description of Work: Complete redesign of a West Hollywood condo, including kitchen, two bathrooms, office, flooring, lighting and closets. Claudia supervised the entire project, from initial design to completion.

My partner and I hired Claudia Morales to redesign our master bath and closet after rave reviews from good friends. I cannot recommend her high enough! Despite not having the budget for high end finishes or materials, Claudia was able to make our bathroom look and feel amazing, stylish and posh. We had an awesome contractor, but even if we didn't, I have no doubt that Claudia would have been there to manage him (thus eliminating a HUGE headache for us). Even still, she made his process easier by providing excellent details and specifications for him to use. Remodeling is a very stressful process, and Claudia was always available to answer any questions or assuage any concerns regarding cost, design, or mess. We now have a bathroom and closets that we love and our friends are envious! Perhaps most telling of our experience with Claudia are two stories. First, in recounting the events of our remodel to my mother (a frequent remodeler), she asked if she could have Claudia move to their neck of the woods to handle their projects (I doubt Claudia is interested in moving). Second, after this whole process, I have decided to follow in Claudia's footsteps and go back to school in pursuit of a career like hers.
Description of Work: Claudia Morales designed the remodel of our master bathroom and closets in our condo. The previous layout was ludicrous, dated and dark. She provided us with tile samples professionally mounted on presentation boards for accurate viewing. Once we decided on an overall theme, she presented us with 3D images of what our bathroom and closets would look like. Then, she helped us and our contractor every step of the way to ensure that everything went smoothly.

She came in and measured the kitchen and bathroom areas. She drew up preliminary designs and then we worked with her on some changes until we felt that it was the best option and fit our budget. She was very friendly and available when we had questions or concerns. From when construction began to when it was finished, she was there to make sure the contractor and workers were executing the plans properly. Everything turned out beautifully. We couldn't be happier.
