Professional, Creative, Passionate. My experience working with Debbie is always motivating. I know when Debbie gets involved that we are going to have a fantastic project that is completely pulled together. I have worked with Debbie on three major projects. The first project was a completely hands off project where I gave her a budget, high level direction , a tight deadline, requesting turn key results for the major living areas of my newly remodeled home. I didn’t see the results until it was completed and was ‘wow’d’ by the results. The other two projects were complete home renovations where I worked closely with Debbie. The first home involved more than just her interior design skills. It also required significant project management over the entire job which happened in phases and over a few years. She was able to manage other trades, subs, issues, and keep things on schedule, meeting demanding deadlines. The most recent project was unique in that it was a long distance design job of an entire home. We successfully utilized online sources, communication options and kept onsite visits to a minimum. In each situation Debbie delivered fantastic results! She listened to what I wanted but still pushed me to try new ideas that in the end made each project more unique and special. Debbie is incredibly talented with color, fabrics and use of materials both interior and exterior. She has a great eye for detail and spacial planning. She not only designs beautiful spaces but goes the extra mile to get the job done. Debbie is wonderful to work with. I highly recommend her for any project and I look forward to working with her on my next one.

I have worked with Debbie on interior design for almost every room in our house over a period of years–from bedrooms to bathrooms and kitchen!– and each time it has been a pleasure to work with her. Debbie has a keen eye and has been sensitive to our tastes, desires and budget. I would have been lost without her! She came up with great designs for bathroom tile and shower design and knew just which vendors to work with. We have had numerous compliments from friends on her choices of fabrics, tile and paint colors, and most importantly, have been completely satisfied with the results. She is professional and fun to work with. I heartily recommend her design services.

Confident, Capable, Creative. Debbie Grewal is a “can do” designer. She has great ideas, an extraordinary color sense and great follow through. She is a consummate problem solver. We could not have been more pleased with her outcomes and our working relationship.

I love working with Debbie! She took her time to explore ideas with me until we arrived at a vision that brought forth a vigorous internal.. “YES..That’s it!” from me. She has a fabulous eye for detail and so my home looks finished in a very satisfying way. And I will be forever grateful that she urged me to use bolder colors than I would have of my own accord, chosen. When they first went on the walls and I panicked, she calmly asked me to be patient, to let the painter finish the job, and to live with the colors for bit before making a final decision And, of course, she was right. It didn’t take long before I was in love with my colors! In fact, thanks to Debbie (who consulted with me through my remodeling plans, and not just redecorating plans) I am in love with my house!

Debbie has an incredible aesthetic with fresh and innovative ideas she brings to each design task. Her professionalism combined with her gracious demeanor put me at ease immediately. Debbie has meticulous attention to detail, from beginning a job with taking exacting measurements to supervising the installation of her final designs. She is a master at sourcing products and services at all price levels but always with a nod to quality. As her client, she has educated me on current trends and classical design so that I was assured my choices were both fresh but timeless. Debbie also considers practical considerations such as who will be using the spaces. I have worked with Debbie over 20 years, and she has designed for me formal dining spaces and most recently, an inviting grandchildren’s room she designed remotely in bright colors with a hot air balloon theme. The best recommendation came from my 35 year old son who brought his toddler to the house and sat on the floor, looked up and said, “I would have loved a room like this when I was growing up!”

I’d seen a glimpse of Debbie’s work and was impressed by the choice of colors, shapes and feel that the design brought to the space. My husband and I had just purchased a home in the Northfork of Long Island, NY and I didn’t hesitant to approach Debbie for her assistance in designing the interior. Being that she lives on the opposite coast from us, we wondered whether the distance would get in the way of our collaboration. Nonetheless, we had seen some of Debbie’s work and had received such wonderful feedback that we wanted to take on the challenge. We couldn’t be more happy with the results. We provided Debbie with dimensions, photos as well a description of what we were looking for and she knocked it out of the park. She brought in new ideas, beautiful colors schemes, awareness to furniture companies with amazing pieces at a great price and constantly reached out throughout the process. Not only is her taste for design admirable but she is an incredible person herself. If we changed ideas or goals for certain rooms, she would provide us with her honest opinion and help us articulate what we really wanted. She handled everything with the upmost respect and kindness. We constantly received compliments from our guests and when we shared that we hired an interior designer from California, they are quite surprised by the outcome. We would absolutely recommend Debbie Grewal to anyone because distance, location or time, I know she will make it happen while making the process very pleasant and efficient.
