Interior Designers in Hayward, California (Alameda County)

Design Philosophy
Our design philosophy starts with listening. You know
what you like, but how do you achieve your goal?
We listen as you articulate your vision, whether in
abstract or concrete terms. As we come to understand
your lifestyle and your tastes, we become better
equipped to translate your vision into reality, often with
spectacular results beyond your expectations. We’re
there at every phase of the project, helping you to
realize your goals. This approach has led many
customers to repeat the experience of involving us
in their home and office projects.

Specialties
Our expertise is best used when executing your vision
requires major remodeling. In one example, the client
wanted no surface left untouched. In others, walls
have been moved or disappeared, and rooms that were
previously of low value have been translated into
beautiful, cherished spaces. To achieve these marvels,
we manage various contractors, subcontractors,
furniture and cabinet makers, stonemasons, lighting
analysts, and other types of construction crews with
skills demonstrated to us on our many prior projects.
In the interiors, we have extensive product knowledge,
and can lead you to a wide variety of products that
match your taste. We’re also experts in kitchen and
bath remodeling, as well as lighting design.
