Maria Forbes Interior Design - Sacramento, California

Kaley Mullin

Maria helped us immensely, supporting us as we upgraded from a tiny one bedroom to a big old house. From the moment our offer was accepted she worked with us to brainstorm vibes, choose and source materials, and gut check the quality of work of our various subcontractors. This was the second project we’ve worked with Maria on and I highly recommend her design services to anyone who needs help making their new space feel like home.

Specifically an expert in: selecting interior & exterior paint and wallpaper, upgrading lighting, bathroom renovations, sourcing furniture and window treatments

We hired Maria to assist us with updating the first home we purchased as a family. Our Southern California townhome was in need of a facelift, although we had difficulty envisioning what we should do and how we should do it. Maria did an amazing job at taking the time to understand who we are as a family and our aesthetic goals. She also was incredibly thorough at understanding the home’s layout and current condition. With our overall goals and budget top of mind, Maria was excellent at making design choices that fit our needs and made the most of our (humble) budget. We loved the outcome and couldn’t be happier with Maria’s thoughtful guidance and communication.

After the birth of our daughter, we decided to sell our home in order to relocate. Maria’s home updates quickly increased the value of our home and it flew off the market, quite literally. We will absolutely hire Maria in the future for our next home. Thank you, Maria!

We couldn't be more thrilled with the work Maria did for our home renovation! From start to finish, her attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism were exceptional. Not only did she transform our space into something stylish and functional, but her design choices also significantly increased our home's resale value—by $100,000! Maria has a true talent for blending aesthetics with practicality, and she made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. If you're looking for an interior designer who delivers outstanding results, look no further than Maria. Highly recommended!

I had the pleasure of working with Maria Forbes, an incredibly talented industrial designer, on creating renderings and visuals for a new brick and mortar retail concept. Maria was responsive, quick, and professional throughout the project. Her work was consistent, comprehensive, and always delivered on time, making the entire process seamless. She asked the right questions to gain full understanding of our concept, and the visuals she created exemplified that understanding. The work she created was instrumental in enhancing our pitch deck and presentations to investors. Highly recommended!

Working with Maria was a lot of fun and the best choice. She brought our rough architectural ideas for our kitchen and office space to life, and gave us confidence that both would work well for our very small home. She knows the latest design trends and technologies and offers choices based on our taste and needs. Her guidance on materials and colour scheme made a huge difference to our budget and the final results. We will definitely bring her on board our next renovation project soon underway.

Love Maria’s vision, and she’s a delight to work with… so much so that we’re now on our second project with her!
