Introduction

I have been designing over 30 years. I have worked with many manufacturers and suppliers, here and overseas, so I have a unique understanding of materials, and how furniture and textiles and fabrics are made. As an artist, while function is always important, I think outside the box in design, and develop solutions for a space that my customers may not see. I love working with clients, developing a plan with them, making wise choices to achieve beautiful results that my customers love.

We are in the beginning stages of working with Karen. She has listened to our ideas and embellished them with her design expertise. Our budget discussions have been candid and there already is no fear of being absolutely honest about the project ideas.

Karen did the interior design on my 3 bedroom home, including the dining room, living room, bathrooms, kitchen, den and the deck. She was very professional and did a wonderful job. She came within my budget, and most of all it looks just beautiful. Many of her choices were unique and we were very happy.

Karen Andrea Interior Design, simply put, is the best. We could not be more pleased with her designs, aesthetics, and creativity that transformed our significant remodel of a rather dated kitchen, master bedroom and bath, living room and dining room to places of beauty. Karen Andrea's focus, attention to detail, sense of responsibility, and straight forward honesty keep us informed on a step-by-step basis for a complicated and coordinated remodel process with ease and grace. All of this on time, on promise, and on budget.

Karen designed and furnished the significant remold of our Santa Barbara 4 bedroom home on time, on budget, and on promised results. We are really happy with the outcome. What impressed us about Karen was her professional approach, her creativity, her problem solving, and her management of a complex project. We can honestly say there was not anything that could have been better. We had heard so many stories about the disappointments in remolding but not in our case, thanks to Karen . We have a second home in Hawaii that could use Karens magic, and we are looking forward to working with her on the project.
