Wrensted Interiors - Long Beach, California

Cristina Lopez

My husband and I wanted insight on how to refresh the late 1990s kitchen of the new home we purchased, into something more modern and in line with our style and taste. I had a virtual consult with Shaun Crha, Wrensted Interiors, that allowed us to turn the kitchen into a “realistic version” (per our budget) dream space. We did not have a budget to fully overhaul the space, so Shaun recommended ways that we could elevate what was existing. During the consult he made suggestions to what colors would work well with the cherry red floors, provided inspiration pictures and website resources to assist in making paint and hardware selections. Everything was placed in a document for me to access at a later time. I made sure to have most of my talking points and questions ready ahead of time to maximize our time together. Needless to say, the inspiration picture Shaun provided and color suggestions did not disappoint! His guidance truly helped us transform the kitchen and we are ecstatic with the final result. Our once “yellow/black” kitchen turned into a modern stylish space, without breaking the bank. Thanks, Shaun!

Not only does he have a wonderful eye for style and beauty, but he is absolutely a delight to work with. He listens to his clients and helps them realize their vision within a reasonable budget.

Shaun did an amazing job designing the exterior paint plan for our 1930s home. He took care to ensure the colors fit with the neighborhood and architectural details of the house, and also provided us with both more traditional and more modern options. It went from dated and blah to a fresh and cheery home. We love how it turned out!

I brought a client into Shaun’s showroom to look at Norwalk sofa options. What a wonderful experience! Shaun is so personable and knowledgeable about his product offerings. It was more like a social visit than work! I look forward to utilizing Shaun’s showroom and his expertise again.

I didn't know a lot about design and didn't really know where to start, but Shaun was patient and helped me identify the style that fit me best. I came away not only with a great design that I love, but with a better understanding of what to look for in the future and of the elements of a great aesthetic. I really appreciate everything that I learned from the experience!
