Interior Designer reviews in Tomball, Texas

Erika is amazing! She helped make our selection process easy for our custom built house. She was with us every step of the way… from selecting flooring, to lighting, to cabinet hardware. She is easy to work with, patient and listened to us. She has great sense of color, texture and space. I would highly recommend her.

Erika Barczak was the designer we used for the year long project of building our new home. She was an absolute pleasure to work with! She had the skill set to help us review the house plans presented by the architect and make changes and additions when necessary. She was very instrumental in guiding us through the arduous process of selecting all of our color schemes, tiles, carpet, plumbing, appliances and fixtures. After all of the “design” portion was complete, we had no idea how she would be when it came to the actual decorating process. We needn’t and have been concerned at all! She helped us so much with placement of furnishings and accessories and proved to have a real knack for that part of the process as well. Erika is a complete professional with a lot of talent and we would not hesitate to highly recommend her to others.

When we were interviewing designers for our new home, we were kind of at a lost, then we had our meeting with Peggy. We left that meeting knowing we found who we wanted to work on our dream home, and from the very beginning her and Michala were extremely pleasant, professional, and creative. They not only opened our eyes to new and exciting ways to decorate our home but really listened to our vison of what we wanted and put it all together. We were especially impressed that such artistic minded people could also be so organized and efficient as well. We would absolutely recommend By Design Interiors to anyone that is in need for a professional designing service.

By Design, Interiors would get a 10-star review if that was an option! I have been working with Erika for almost 10 years. She’s absolutely amazing and I couldn’t be any happier with her designs. She designed a custom home for me years ago, and is now helping design a new home we just purchased. I likely would have gone a little crazy without her help on both!! Her vision and ideas fit perfectly with my personality and tastes. I honestly can’t say enough about both Erika and By Design overall...

Ashton with By Design Interiors was such a tremendous help with my kitchen remodel. I was looking for help selecting my slab, paint colors, finishes, and working on my layout on a tight timeline with a contractor we had already selected and she delivered perfectly. We get so many complements on our kitchen and there is no way I could have brought the vision to life with Ashton. Highly recommend Ashton, but the entire By Design team was friendly and responsive from start to finish!

We consulted with Erika at By Design Interiors on a remodel project to our kitchen, living room, breakfast room, and first floor flooring. She was a pleasure to work with and provided my wife and I with numerous options and tips that we were not aware of. She presented product suggestions that truly were the icing on the cake to the project. She helped us tweak the paint colors we had originally picked out to achieve the look that we wanted. We are thrilled with the end product, and we are so glad we called in Erika. Her expertise gave us peace of mind regarding the numerous remodel choices. We will definitely ask for her help again in the future.

When we decided to build our dream house, the architect recommended we hire By Design Interiors and we did. It was the best decision we made! Erika guided every aspect of the project from blueprints to completion. She worked directly with our architect on the home's interior and exterior design, guided all key decisions during construction - electrical walks, plumbing walk, cabinet design etc. She made the selections process hassle free and stress free. When issues arose on the job site, she worked directly with our builder to make adjustments. Working with her helped us avoid costly mistakes. She was fantastic to work with on all selections and the furnishing, artwork, etc. too. Our dream house is now complete and it turned out far better than we ever imagined thanks to Erika. Our builder also said he had never worked with a designer as professional and competent as her.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience working with By Design Interiors Inc's designer, Erika Barczak. Determining the best color schemes and tile combinations is not my strong suit. I could not have been able to make the decisions I did without Erika's help and suggestions. She's incredible! She also helped me determine how best to setup my closet, suggested thoughts on the layout of my outdoor kitchen and decorated after I moved in. My house is amazing and I can't thank Erika enough.

Peggy has been remodeling our home room by room for 12 years. It has been a great experience. Peggy has a gifted eye for design, scale and color. We just completed my last room, and my home is timeless and magazine beautiful. Peggy has created a style that is not only beautiful but comfortable as well. Her experience and wisdom have saved me many costly mistakes. She really understands not only textiles and lighting but many, many more products involved in remodeling. Peggy is honest and does things right. She has my back and has helped me coordinate with my contractors to get the design correct. I’m thankful that she has been able to help me improve my home and make it so beautiful.

Erika at ByDesign Interiors has helped us in renovating our Kitchen and Master Bath, and in various other interior designing projects over the past 3-4 years. She is phenomenal - she quickly tunes in to your expectations and design philosophy, and takes you on the most remarkable renovation/design journey to beat your wildest dreams! Do not let her quiet demeanor fool you; therein lurks a very passionate, energetic and creative designer. By Design also has a wide range of materials that you can choose from, so you know what you are signing up for. A fair warning though - once Erika & By Design give you a sneak peek of what your home can look like, you will want to re-gut your entire home... and that's what we have been doing over these many years! Thanks Erika & By Design.

I used Ashton for a small interior design project and when my mom decided to purchase a home in Houston referred Ashton for a remodel project. Right after the remodel project was finished a pipe burst in the freeze and flooded the master bath and kitchen and garage below. A week later my mom was diagnosed with cancer and Ashton and her contractor Raul took over the project while my mom received treatment in her home state. Well over 4 months later the project was not complete and my mom calls to tell me Raul keeps finding more and more issues at the house and keeps asking for more money. At this point my husband and I took over the project as my mom’s physical and mental state were not well. (Important to note we are also in the middle of getting her diagnosed with dementia) Despite being told not to contact her Raul continues to reach out to my mom asking for a couple more thousand dollars here and there, always with the same line “I’m a good Christian man, I run missions, I need to pay my crew so they can eat”. He then starts insisting the project is complete and needs the rest of the money even though there was construction dust everywhere, light and plug plates not installed, workman materials still in the home, etc. I start showing up to the home unannounced, I found a ton of job material from another site stored in my mothers home and a crew of 5 after Derecho storm hanging out in her home that still had power while most if the city did not. When I confronted Raul about this he told me my mom had given him permission to allow his men and materials to be at her home. Why are you asking an elderly woman to store things at her home?!?! After pulling teeth the project was finished and I was ready to put this terrible experience in my review window.
Fast forward 6 months later my mom’s fridge breaker won’t stop switching off. I hired an electrician to come out and was told every single breaker was reading over 100 degrees above permitted levels and all the outlets in the completely remodeled kitchen were installed incorrectly, and it’s a miracle the whole house hasn’t gone up in flames. $12k later I reached out to Ashton wondering what the heck is going on. I’m informed that I was scammed by my electrician I should have called Raul, Raul said it is totally normal for the electrical box to read that hot because it’s hot outside. I reached out to Raul and am told I have no idea what I’m talking about and he completed the job correctly, only a few breakers needed to be replaced even though all of the drywall, kitchen cabinets and flooring had to be replaced along the same wall as the breakers because the water damage was so bad. (The pipe that burst was above the breaker box in the garage on the second level) How is it possible that you had to replace all the drywall in the garage because the water damage was so bad but the breaker box attached to the drywall was ok? I tried to write a bad review for Raul the contractor but I cant seem to find his business anywhere on google. Is he even a licensed contractor? Is the electrician they used licensed? Ashton is fully backing her contractor saying he’s highly trustworthy and will only communicate via txt. I would love to gain the information on the contractor Raul’s business to write him a bad review but since Ashton refuses to talk to me via phone and I refuse to discuss such a serious issue over txt, the bad review landed here. At best Ashton has no idea what I going on at her job sites, at worst she’s involved in whatever funny business the contractor is pulling. So many other negative specific things I could write but this review is already excessively long

Danielle the owner of The W Home came to my rescue, I was so totally overwhelmed with all of the decisions that had to be made with all of the things that had to be picked out and decided on.
She helped me with picking out my cabinets, quartz site, tile, wood floors, paint, plumbing fixtures, lighting, mirrors, cabinet knobs, really everything you need to build a custom home.
With me trying to do my job and then picking out things it was to much for me to handle.
I can't thank her enough for all she has done for myself and my husband.
I would highly recommend The W Home (Danielle) for any of your interior design needs.

Thank you Danielle

Danielle helped design both interior and exterior inrpovments to our home. She made a process that could be overwhelming (for me) so easy. I'm grateful she created timeless spaces that we can enjoy for a very long time. I would highly recommend working with Danielle.

Danielle with The W Home is a rare gem who we were fortunate to have been introduced to in the early stages of our renovation process. Her knowledge, experience, communication and responsiveness far exceeded our expectations. She was instrumental in helping us make key selections for our project that achieved our goals visually and functionally without breaking the bank. We enjoyed every moment of collaboration with her and are beyond grateful for everything she did to help make our dream master suite a reality. We will be using her for all remaining phases of our home reno.

We love Danielle’s design choices, and how they integrate so well with the existing colors in the house. We appreciate her advice on the floor color and the master bathroom details, also, which were not a part of the agreement.

I can’t tell you how many times we have looked at the new colors and materials and realized that we would never have known what to choose that would work so well together. Then we gloat about what a good thing it was that we had her help.

This bathroom was a “to the studs gut job” so the project required design vision. We dramatically altered the layout by moving the shower and sink locations, and also removing the unused tub. We could not be happier with the end result - so much more functional overall. Danielle was unequivocal with her design recommendations without being overbearing, and once she got to know our style the decisions we had to make became easy.
