In just a few hours, he gave me ideas for paint, flooring, furniture, lighting, drapes, even down to the recommended vendors he uses. Has a keen eye for clean design. He even had the exact paint color numbers I would need should I decide to do some of the work myself. Chris is very straight forward, we are a bit of clutter bugs and he pointed out that a lot of the clutter should go. Also went through options and discussions about style choice vs design choice. Great insights.
Description of Work: Had him make recommendations for update of living room. He actually ended up doing the whole first floor.

Chris was friendly and easy to talk to about design for the house. He helped move existing furniture so we could see how a different placement would improve the look of the rooms. He gave ideas for decorative objects for finishing touches when rooms were completed. He told my son he could text him if he wanted his opinion on something he was going to purchase even if he did not hire him. Chris was wonderful and we would recommend him for his personality and design style. He said he wants to design homes that are livable.
Description of Work: i purchased the 2 hour deal for my son who purchased a vintage Victorian house in San Diego. My son needed help on paint and furniture choices for the house. Chris moved from room to room on the main floor of the house and gave information on paint color for each room, along with the number of the paint, so it can easily be purchased. Because of the architectural detail of the house this involved several colors for each room. He also gave ideas for furniture placement in the rooms and places to buy furniture.

Christian came in, took stock of what's here, and provided new, fresh ideas for some renovation and redecorating. He was open to listening and then providing different alternatives. I appreciated his candor and opinions as he was not there just to approve what I thought (no need for me to pay for that!) but to give a more integrated and balanced look for my ultimate objectives. Christian's eye for colors was remarkable, too, and the slight shading tints will work well for the house and rooms. Thank you, Christian!!
Description of Work: Christian provided a solid two hours of suggestions, recommendations, and advice for updating our near-beach home to make it into a more beach cottage style.

He selected colors to brighten up and provide that airiness we were looking for. Also had great ideas for kitchen remodel. He was very candid about our current condition, large furniture and current colors on our walls. But that's what I wanted and he had the same thoughts I did moving into this new look we want to create in our condo/home. He was very detailed, precise, very friendly and warm. We got a long just wonderfuly and I would not hesitate to use him again.
Description of Work: Provided assistance on color palette for my living/dining room and kitchen. Assistance with going more contemporary, as I"m pretty traditional and ways to help me move to a more unified airy condo living area vs. our more darker traditional/large furniture.

There is no pressure to use his services. The "consultation" was just what I needed to begin to see the possibilities of the room becoming my retreat. He gave me ideas and suggestions without pushing me in any way to buy his ongoing services as a designer. His rates are very reasonable. I am retired and on a limited income and he made sure we stayed in budget. I actually came in under budget!! I will using him again to do other rooms in my home. He is honest, does what he says and makes if fun!!
Description of Work: Chris worked with me for well over two months and helped me totally redesign my master bedroom into a relaxing, spa like retreat. Everything was redone including ceilings,, painting and trim, a beautiful new French door. window coverings new pot lights, Upholstered bed, mattress, all new furniture, floating shelves etc etc. He and I designed what I wanted and he knew of my limited budget. I also had some physical limitations in terms of getting out and about but he would provide pick me up and take me to see possible items. All the time accommodating to my limitations. And through it all, he made it fun, do-able all the while treating me with great warmth and kindness. He wanted me to be thrilled AND I AM!. He is one of a kind. I cannot rate him high enough!! He worked with me to keep things within budget and to help me have the room of my dreams. I highly recommend him.

I need to get my condo remodeled but was waiting until i retired to do it. The carpets are worn, walls need to be painted, the ceiling popcorn removed, and we need new window treatments, and lighting. Chris gave us great advice on a completely new look that won't break the bank. I am very impressed with his interior design ideas. Everything made sense from the time he walked in the door until he left. He has been in the business for quite a while and knows his stuff. We have confidence in Chris and are going to hire him to do our remodeling.

Chris was lovely. He was straight forward, he respected the fact that we have a certain way of living with things that have meaning to us, so he was careful to talk about incorporating into that "style" which I very much appreciated. We spent a lot of time going through our rooms and talking about things we might change, things we keep, things we can "rework" and things that we could do over, painting suggestions, etc. I was please with his service and his ideas. We are continuing to work together as our long-range plan moves into action.
Description of Work: Chris came to our home and gave me advice and wisdom about "updating" and reworking things in our home.

I was contacted right away by Chris's office and was offered a choice of a couple dates. They followed through setting up the appointment in a very professional manner. Chris arrived right on time and after greeting us in a most pleasant, friendly manner asked where I wanted to start. We went through various areas and in each one, he was thoughtful and honest with me. There were things he didn't exactly love, but offered another option just in case I wanted to change my mind. If I was sold on what I'd decided he went along with me and we moved into another area. Never was he negative about my choices in any way. We looked at paint colors and he had a great idea right off the bat. He was so knowledgeable in every area, we were able to accomplish my original objectives in less than the 2 hours I'd paid for. He'd already made some suggestions for changing around our living room furniture, so since we had extra time, he actually moved a couple pieces, rearranged photos etc on my etagere and created a couple new vignettes that all made such sense, even my husband was blown away. Not only was this a good value, I"d be willing to pay his regular rate if I had need of his service at my home again. He loves what he does, and it shows. He told me that his main goal is to ensure that people enjoy their home; that they should have things out where they can be enjoyed and appreciated and reflect the individuals who are living in that space. I'll also add, that he does all this with considerable humor and warmth; I actually felt that I was talking with a good friend. My husband summed it up with this: "This guy is a treasure"!
Description of Work: Provided 2 hours of ideas/suggestions to update the look of my home, utilizing whatever items I had on hand. Also gave me feedback on some ideas I had regarding window coverings, wall decor and paint color for the sunroom. He also literally picked up items and moved them to another spot so we could see how much better it would look.

Christian has been absolutely wonderful. He's responsive, professional, trustworthy, fair, fun, and a good listener! He's always been able to meet with me even with my limited availability, which is usually only nights and weekends. When he helped us with our master bedroom I told him that I was hoping to get it done before my husband got back from a long trip. He was up at our house the night before, hanging pictures and draperies to make sure the last touches were ready. While working on our other rooms I have texted him when I see something that I think might work in our house, and he'll give me the "yay" or "nay". He's very flexible in his service offerings to work within your budget. He can absolutely do everything and take care of all the details or serve as a consultant while you do some of the leg work. He's a real gem and I highly recommend him!
Description of Work: We originally hired Chrisitian for a consult on a home we had just purchased that ended up being more of a fixer-upper than we had imagined. He initially helped us pick interior and exterior colors for our home and gave some great tips on how to easily update our house with a more finished look. We have continued to use him as we go room by room in our house when we have the energy, time, and money to tackle the next project!

My favorite thing about Chris was that he knew so much, had great ideas and was not at all pretentious. He seemed to tune into my style and understood exactly the look and feel of what I was going for. With his feedback and input I was able to more clearly define my goals and I created a remodeling plan. My first project was a complete redo of my master bath. It is almost done and is going to be awesome!
Description of Work: Chris spent nearly two hours with me going room to room in my home. Chris suggested paint colors for each room and many other detailed suggestions for updating the decor. He also followed up a few days later with an email detailing everything we had discussed. Chris also recommended other service providers I might need for remodeling jobs, i.e., tile person, painter, flooring contractor, glass contractor. He was very thorough and definitely knowledgable.

Christian came to my home right on time and spent the full two hours giving me countless ideas on how to update and improve the general appearance of my new home. He provided both short term inexpensive ideas as well as suggestions for more elaborate plans for down the line. He quickly picked up on my style and showed me what worked, didn't work, and will work, with the design I was looking for. I was taking notes furiously as we went along as he had too many excellent ideas to possibly remember. He provided me with names and numbers for those who could do the work we discussed, (contractor, painter), as wellas suggestions as to where to find products we discussed. I will definitely continue working with him in the future! Couldn't be more pleased!

The experience with Chris Alan Design has been satisfactory in every way. His recommendations for creating a more coordinated and "simplified" home environment were just what I had hoped for but was unable to pull together on my own. His ideas were inspired, functional and respectful of my particular requirements. When he suggested recessed can lighting for my too dark living room I could have sworn I heard a choir singing in the back of my mind. The consultation synopsis he provided really helps to clarify my plans and gives me a map to follow on my own and at my own pace. His arrival and responses to my inquiries have been courteous and prompt. If you ever thought you were not eligible to have an Interior Decorator help you create the home you've always hoped for, than think again, and consider Chris Alan Design.

Christian to our home and lent his expertise in designing a space that is open, uncluttered, and yet cozy and comfortable to be in. He was available at all hours and helped us to find a style that satisfied both of our ideas and tastes. Every time we met with Christian he was on time and loaded with positive energy which made our remodel a fun experience even though "decluttering" can be stressful.
Description of Work: Our house was completely cluttered and in serious need of updating in style.
