Elyssa took charge on a major remodel of my home. We are talking taking down to the studs a 9500 square foot home and doing a complete overhaul. Construction was a real headache but Elysssa worked out details that avoided any construction errors. Everyone that comes to my home complements the decor and design. She was fabulous. I would not recommend her if she was not. Now don’t bother asking me for the general contractor because he I would never recommend to my worst enemy. If you like contact Elyssa and she can share pictures of my home or even arrange a tour.

Elyssa is an amazing interior designer. She is professional, creative, fun to work with and has incredible taste and design ideas. Elyssa has now worked with me on two different home renovations and has been able to work her magic within our budget and timeline. Both projects turned out beautifully and made us a substantial return on investment. I will continue to use Elyssa Contardo Designs on all my future home renovations, she is the BEST!

We want everyone to know what a wonderful and delightful person you have been for us through this massive remodel Elyssa. You have helped to make it easier during the worst of times, and had our backs and we so appreciate that. You are truly a fun, beautiful and kind hearted person who is extremely talented as well. Everyone who walks into our home says its probably the most beautiful home they have ever been in. They point out how amazing the lighting fixtures are as well as how well the proportions are in this large home. The treatments to the walls are something they have never seen before which show cases your creativity and each one is beyond fabulous. We plan to use you on every home we ever have remodeled or redecorated as you certainly are on the cutting edge. To say the least we feel we have found someone beyond the best of the best decorators in every way.
With much respect and admiration, Pat and Elliot

I have owed and operated Classic Cupboards (a custom millwork and cabinetry company) here in the Coachella Valley for more than 16 years. Elyssa is a fantastic interior designer. I have done many amazing luxury homes with her and her work is impeccable. We have created masterpieces together here in the desert. Elyssa is extremely creative and she has a unique vision for each of her projects. She works well with her clients and all the trades on a job. I highly recommend her and look forward to continuing to work with her and her team for many years to come.

I hired Elyssa to do a major remodel of a home we purchased several years ago. (You can find our home featured on her website under Bear Creek residence). Honestly, I cannot say enough about how pleased I am with how it all came together. Our home is so beautiful but also so warm and inviting. She pushed me out of my comfort zone by updating my very traditional style with transitional pieces and ideas throughout our home. I cannot tell you how many people have commented on the beauty and designs in our home. We were so pleased that we also hired her to design and decorate our office building for our business. This building was brand new with nothing but four walls. Elyssa had to literally design the entire space. Her professionalism with contractors was impressive and her expertise to create both a beautiful and functional office space is unmatched. All our employees appreciate their new office as well! I highly recommend Elyssa and her design team. You will not be disappointed!

Elyssa is an absolute ROCKSTAR. I referred one of my best clients to her during a full remodel and she knocked it out of the park. I've also had the pleasure of working with another client of hers and their entire home is STUNNING! She has an unbelievable eye for detail, works extremely hard, and preforms at a high level. As a local real estate agent, I wouldn't recommend anyone besides Elyssa.
