Description
Decorating Den Interiors is a full service design firm specializing in Window treatments, design consultations, staging and much more. We are run by a proud local Austinite who has been in the design business for 15 years. Our business comes to you, designs for you, and creates the space perfect for you. We take the hassle out of you having to drive all over town and bring everything you need directly to your home. We bring all of our finishes, samples, and designs to your home because it's important to see things in the space where it will be installed. We charge $70/hr for consultation services including finish selections, re-models, and local shopping. We are currently providing a free Interior Design plan with every appointment. This is where we meet the client, review the space, discuss your lifestyle and plans, determine a budget, and create a project plan. We do not charge for measurements or quotes for blinds, shutters, and treatments. We also do not charge an hourly rate when clients purchase products under our Decorating Den approved vendors.When we decided to open our business it was because I knew that I could provide a quality service at an affordable budget. My mom always told me that our home was an extension of our identity. To me this was something that I have always wanted to give back to others and I don’t believe that has to cost a fortune. I believe in design and how much it can impact your well being. With this in mind I take every clients vision very seriously and guide them to their dream home with a balanced, functional, and timeless design

Came over an hour late, she said that an old customer had called and she could not stay since her old customer bought a new house and wants her to stop by. We had an appointment for at least 1 hour. She went through the house, said that she could rearrange the furniture to update the rooms, she did pick a paint color that was yellow (specifically told her that I did not want yellow). Asked me to go by her shop to look at the drapery rods in her showroom. I went to the showroom, did not like them, called her, played phone tag for 2 weeks. She sent a bid and I accepted but had another question. Then 2 weeks later she called and said that she can't do the drapery since i did not buy the fabric from her and that any workroom could help me with the rods. She sent a list of workrooms that I had already seen online, some of them did not have the quality that I was looking for. Basically, i felt that she has enough business with her old customers and does not need another one. Not a good experience at all.
Description of Work
Sally offered to come to my home with a fee that I felt was reasonable, to assist me in choosing a paint color for my family room, drapery rods, drapery style and said she would have her workroom make my drapes. When i made the appointment she was informed that i had already purchased my fabric for the draperies, needed rods and someone to make the drapes. She agreed to do this service.

Celeste- you had us at "Hello". I was a bit nervous about having some smug designer show up at my house and act like we were too cheap for wanting to use a lot of our existing pieces. The truth is we have a lot of nice pieces that just needed to be paired down or curated and in some cases updated for the new millennium. What I liked about Celeste is that she is not just in the design business, she's in the people business. She understands that most of the job of a consultant is to listen and make the client feel understood. My wife and I both felt heard and understood. After we both felt heard and understood, then and only then, did she offer her very best advice. She was spot on with everything. E.g. Yes that light fixture does look better in the dining room than in the bedroom! And when it came to things my wife and I had bitter disagreements over, Celeste's subtle nudges toward diplomacy won the day. There was a particular set of framed prints that had much sentimental value to my wife, but frankly were hideous (sorry honey). Celeste encouraged me to have the four vertical prints reframed and rematted for her and they are now one of my favorite things in the house. Pure magic! What more can I say? Hire Celeste if you want to love your house.
Description of Work
My wife and I needed consulting & mediation, ha!, on arranging things in our house. We needed help deciding together what things we should let go of, what to keep, and what new things we might want to bring in. We needed help figuring out where to put things- e.g how high to hang this? or whether or not to center that? We were looking for someone who could somehow fuse our tastes together and help us use a lot of our existing pieces, which are mainly antique/vintage.

Celeste was fantastic!!! She was very professional through out the 10 months of building and decorating our new home. She prepared a budget at the beginning of the process and kept us up to date on our budget through out the 10 month process. She was always very punctual for all of our meetings. She would also assist us if there were any issues with our builder. Her design and decorating knowledge was the best. Celeste has a great personality to go along with her professionalism. Celeste charged for her services on an hourly basis and she earned every dollar of it. Our total budget included her services and the purchase of all the furniture, window treatments, light fixtures and other interior design items. Celeste helped us stick to our budget. We would highly recommend Celeste and Decorating Den Interiors.
Description of Work
Celeste started with us in February 2014 after we signed a contract with a builder to build our new home. She came with us when we went to the builders design center and she help us with all of our selections. Celeste met with us and we came up with a budget for purchase of furniture, window treatments, light fixtures and other interior design items. She also consulted with us on furniture selection, fabric selection, window treatments.

Hi [removed members name]. I did have you down for a different day. It was an honest misunderstanding and when you called I asked if you could meet later that day or any other time and I never heard back. I am very sorry for the misunderstanding.Jackie S.

Celeste was GREAT!! She was a pleasure to work with and understood the look I was going for. She made everything easy and stress free, especially at that very stressful time with moving. She provided feedback, direction, and inspiration. She was always available when needed and she even met the installers at my home when I could not be there. That was such a help! I will definitely work with Celeste again when I'm ready to start phase II. Thank you!

Hi [name removed] Thank you for your response but I am extremely confused why you would send this review and say these things. We sent you a quote 3 times within a week of meeting with you and we called you back and left you 4 messages in regards to working with you. At this point we did not feel right continuing to contact you. I think it would be fair that you respond with an accurate timeline of events. Thank you!Diane W.

The designer I contacted really was wonderful, it was a little odd as we met on Easter Sunday afternoon, but that was the time we could best meet up. She seemed very nice and pleasant. We talk about what I wanted to do, and she did present me with an estimate. However, I ended up not using her as I had other costly repairs that suddenly cropped up to be addressed. I will still keep her in mind for when I can move forward with my original plans.
Description of Work
She met with me and gave me an estimate for her services and was pretty much within my cost range. I did not use her as my plans changed.

Celeste is very responsive and professional and gave us plans for 5 rooms after spending time with us to make sure she understood our needs and what we like. I like the way she presents her ideas so you can easily see furniture options for each room. She is very willing to accommodate our schedules. We are not yet done with our project so look forward to completing everything with her help. Her fees are very reasonable too.

We are very happy with her. I would give her the highest rating we could give her. Extremely responsive and willing to just kind of give us advise, she doesn't charge for every little thing. She is a great sounding board. Very responsive and timely as well. She comes when she says she will.
