Debbie has such great style and attention to detail. She is warm, friendly, and extremely easy to talk to. Her follow-up is fantastic. We had a major design challenge that she swiftly solved for us (as if by magic). We suffered for 18 months on this remodel without Debbie. Had she been involved in the project from the beginning, we would have completed construction in half the time ... and the word suffering would have been replaced by enjoying.

Debbie Talianko directed me to the perfect person to design and oversee the construction and hard space design part of my project. She knew exactly who could meet my needs. When the construction phase was finished, Debbie picked up the decorating portion and pulled everything together with great fabrics and design insight. She always met my changing ideas with a smile. She also understood the best way to meet a budget.

I am thrilled with how everything turned out and would not hesitate to hire Debbie and the rest of the team for my next remodel project.

I first hired Debbie in 2005. After all these years, visitors to my home still comment on how the powder room Debbie designed is one of the most beautiful they have seen. Recently I hired her to help with my kitchen remodel. She still possesses all the same positive qualities that keep me coming back. Debbie has a wonderful ability to match and recommend colors. She is a great listener and is able to translate my ideas into a fresh, yet timeless design. She is very knowledgeable about all aspects of the process from picking the lighting to sourcing the hardware. She is also mindful of the budget. In short, she is a pleasure to work with.

Debbie is a professional in every sense of the word and clearly has a great eye for design. We are currently working on a remodel of our kitchen, living room, dining room, master bedroom and bath. She is assisting us with all of the aesthetics of our remodel: furniture, fabrics, window treatments, tile, flooring, paint etc. Debbie and her staff have been an absolute delight to work with. She is helping us figure out the look we want and has been very patient throughout the process. She helped us establish a budget and has done an incredible job providing us with truly beautiful options within our parameters. Debbie is working very hard to help us achieve our goal; to have the home of our dreams. Our remodel is still a work in progress and I am certain that the end result will be absolutely beautiful as the result of Debbie’s professional guidance and assistance.

I've had the pleasure of collaborating with Talianko Design Group on numerous occasions. When Debbie and her team are on a project, I'm confident our clients are in the best of hands.

I have had the pleasure to work with Debbie at Talianko Design Group, LLC on a beautiful kitchen remodel. Debbie had introduced me to a client of hers that was very scared and hesitant to start a project she was very unfamiliar with. Through Debbie's patience and understanding of ultimately what the client wanted, we were able to facilitate her dreams. In the end the home owner was extremely happy we created her dreams on time and on budget.

If you want a designer that is not only talented but extremely easy to get along with, look no further than Debbie with Talianko Design's. Her ability to deliver beautiful designs to choose from for our master suite was great. She not only had our style down, but had creative solutions for getting the most out of our limited bathroom space. I would highly recommend using Talianko Design Group!

I am a third generation Pasadena area builder licensed since 1984. My grandfather and father were both notable Architects here dating to 1922. While we have never collaborated on work together I have known Debbie Talianko and her husband for well over 18 years and when my wife and I were ready to remodel our master bath there was no question as to who was to be engaged for the new design. Debbie is the rare individual in her field who does not rely on a thematic scheme. She creates a fresh and new concept for each client and their environs while lending consideration to continuity and harmony of the overall style of a homes design. She has cultivated and refined relationships with suppliers and the many trades that conduct the work and she takes ownership of the project and is always vigilant in her clients best interest.
