Kristin’s help with our remodel was invaluable! She helped us navigate so many details and challenges that we weren’t prepared for. She is detailed, responsive and always willing to fight to make sure her clients are happy with the end result. Truly couldn’t have done it without her guidance and we are so happy in our finished home!

How lucky we were to find Kristin to design our new kitchen. A leak forced us into a kitchen remodel just months after having our 4th child, so we were not at all prepared to take on all that was involved. Kristin jumped right in and delivered designs that perfectly captured the look we were going for. She also thought through the details of how the kitchen would work for our family as the kids grew up and our needs evolved. We are thrilled with how this project turned out and know we could not have done it without Kristin's guidance and expertise.

Kristin is an amazing interior designer. We have an eclectic tastes and some weird empty spaces that we didn’t know what to do with. Her eye for details and understanding that we had high-low budget was so inspiring. She helped us do some DIY projects and found some pieces that were second hand perfect.

Definitely recommend her for any project that you want to undertake. She will save you time and money and make your home a livable yet, beautiful space!

Kristin designed my living room and dining with furnishings, lighting and styling from scratch. Working with Kristin was so easy and stress free. I shared what I was looking for design wise and Kristin delivered exactly what I wanted! From initial designs to the end product, I honestly could not have asked for a better outcome. Kristin mixed more budget friendly pieces that still looked upscale with some splurge pieces for the perfect mix. She also has such an eye for pieces to add to the design (she found an AMAZING vintage lamp that fit into the design perfectly). Kristin was so easy to work with and did such a great job with handling everything. She also did the most perfect job with space planning- the furniture could not fit better in the space. I would use Kristin again in a heartbeat and I’m SO happy with what she did! She’s amazing!!

I am a paint contractor here in Orange County and have done multiple jobs for Kristin. Not only does she have great taste, but all of her customers love her! She’s extremely responsive and easy to work with, and I highly recommend her to anybody looking for a great designer

I highly recommend Kristin Strand with Strand Interiors for home and office interior design and home staging. Kristin is incredibly talented, and always extremely professional. Her attention to detail and feedback is also impeccable. She helped my family refresh our first floor which includes the entry way, family room and living room. She listened carefully to our needs (i.e. kid and dog-friendly furniture that would be easy to clean and maintain) and helped pick out furniture pieces that we absolutely love. I wanted to invest in quality pieces that would last long and was willing to pay more accordingly, but she is also fantastic at identifying bargains and thrift store pieces for those on a tighter budget. Her designer discount at the major stores is also a great perk, and helps cover her fees. We have several more spaces in our home that I'm looking forward to updating within the next year or two with Kristin's support because we had such a wonderful experience working with her this past year. If you're thinking about obtaining professional support, you won't regret hiring Kristin/Strand Interiors. She will take the stress out of the process and help you identify pieces that are the right size and measurements to maximize and enhance the space and reflect your personality/style. She also designs the space for functionality which was especially important for our family.

Kristin has helped me transform my home from outdated to updated! She is so easy to work with- my input is always considered but her intuition guides us in the right direction. Thankful to go on this journey with Kristin at the helm!

Kristin is incredible! We purchased a home in San Diego County (while we were living in Northern California). The home needed remodel. We had very little time to get it done, a limited budget, and were eight hours away! It seemed insurmountable. Then Kristin walked onto the scene! 🙂
She helped us with every item in the house, from flooring to paint color, light fixtures, tile, and complete decor. She saved us countless hours, countless dollars, and provided beautiful mock ups and great creativity. She is smart, a great listener, intuitive, and really got a sense of who we are and what we wanted. Kristin sent me links for things to order, and I would spend my nights after work just clicking on Amazon, Target, Wayfair and other easy options. She picked items that were in our budget yet gorgeous and perfect. We absolutely love our new home! All of it.
It's like a dream. Best of all, I learned from her and had a blast in the process. You won't be sorry if you work with Kristin. She's the best!
