"Design Vision Studio to the rescue!
After living in our 1970s Hugh Kaptur designed house for 2 years, we were totally at a loss of how to make it look and function better.
We don't understand how Patricia and Kelli took our lack of design direction and insistence on keeping the ugliest parts of our house (a dark slate floor and huge stone fireplace), and turned it into something that is lovely, organic, beautiful, and timeless, and that reflects us while honoring the architecture and era of our home.
We added to the pressure by being out of state for the entire process so it all happened without us seeing anything except by Facetime.
And we adored the contractor they recommended and deeply appreciate that his crew was able to clearly understand the vision and make it a reality.
We are so very happy we found Design Vision Studio and love the results achieved with their 30 Days of Design service!"
"We retained Design Vision Studio to provide their expertise with a refresh of our Coachella Valley home. Patricia and Kelli exceeded our expectations in every respect.
From the moment my wife and I reached out to inquire about their services, the communication was prompt, professional, and friendly. They took the time to understand our design needs, ensuring that every detail was tailored to our vision. When they arrived at the home they got right to work and provided us with excellent recommendations which ultimately transformed our home into the calming place we had hoped for.
We highly recommend Design Vision Studio!"
"We have used Design Vision Studio several times over the past years - some with more involved services, and some with more of a Hybrid Design service when we didn't require as much time or involvement. As always, they deliver incredible design, creative ideas, pops of 'fun' and respect your budget and other specifications. The absolute best team!"
"This was our second time using Design Vision Studio’s “30 days of Design”. Was just what we needed and Kelli and Patricia did a great job and were very easy and accommodating. We are very pleased and happy with the results!"
Patricia and Kelli are a pleasure to work with! The is the second time I have worked with Design Vision Studio. The bar area underwent a major makeover. I can't wait to have our guests over for a soiree. I could not have done this without Patricia and Kelli who helped bring my vision to fruition. I love their style, spunk, honesty, creativity and strong work ethic. I strongly recommend DVS to anyone who is looking to add a personal touch to their home.
"30 Days of Design was the perfect fit for us!
Patricia and her team are passionate about the clients “vision” and bringing it to life with imagination and meticulous detail. The time and research DVS puts into the recommendations made, coupled with reference details of where to buy was absolutely perfect. Patricia and her team took the time to collaborate on ideas, and gave honest feedback and the delivered cutting edge design concepts. 30 Days of Design was perfect for us, as we did not need an everyday onsite designer but someone to partner and guide.
DVS gave us a dynamic roadmap and exceeded our original vision!"
"Highly recommended Design Vision Studio for your next project! Patricia and Kelli designed our new vacation home in the desert. They gave us a beautiful, one-of-a-kind house filled with textures, patterns and colors to create a comfortable place to feel at home. The living room and primary bedroom feature walls are top notch!
We love you girls!"
"We are very happy we selected Design Vision Studio for our new home. Patricia and Kelli are wonderful to work with. We chose the 30 Days of Design which exceeded our expectations. We got great ideas that we could implement right away and a very detailed design plan that we can implement on our own over time. We have worked with several designers over the years, Design Vision Studio is the best we have worked with."
"I absolutely love the new interior design of my beach cottage. It is a rental, small and had become outdated. With a modest budget, Patricia and Kelli transformed it into a more open, modern and sophisticated home. This allowed me into increase the rent by 30%. I highly recommended Design Vision Studio!"
"We're thrilled with the results of our 30 Days of Design package from DVS. Patricia and Kelli provided invaluable recommendations for our unique 1970s home in Palm Desert, ensuring the preservation of its original architectural vision. Their timeless sense of style, coupled with a talent for pushing the envelope were a perfect fit for our design needs. We found their service to be reasonably priced, thorough, and educational. Throughout the process, they demonstrated rockstar customer service—keeping us on track, responding reliably and quickly to our questions, and providing outstanding support for those pesky details that come later. (Grout color? Check! Sink color! Check!). Our redesigned kitchen, new bar, and plan for a revamped casita space with a new bath exceeded our expectations. DVS's estimates for implementation of the design allowed us to prioritize and make informed decisions. We wholeheartedly recommend their services for a top-notch design experience!"
"Patricia and Kelly were outstanding to work with!! They gave us an amazing vision for our vacation rental. They did a great job listening to our ideas and working their design magic to make it more than we could ever imagine. Can’t recommend them enough! We will definitely use them for future projects."
"I highly recommend Design Vision Studios for your interior decorating. Patricia and Kelli are incredibly talented and they deliver a beautiful finished product on time and on budget. I couldn't be happier with the job they did on our Palm Desert home. Turnkey!!"
"Highly recommend Design Vision Studio's sound design advice and guidance! Looking forward to working with them again."
"Patricia Lockwood is a talented designer. She was able to incorporate my collectibles and family heirlooms to create a wonderful contemporary fusion unique to me. Thank you Patricia and Kelli."
"My wife and I were lucky enough to have Design Vision Studio take us on as clients - working to "De-Tuscanize" our poor confused house. Our first house as a family - a house where one would argue it was put together by someone who never had the privilege of spending time in Italy.
DVS is way better than a marriage counselor! They took in my wife's ideas, which I didn't particularly like; my ideas - which my wife completely despised; sprinkled in our 7 year old sons' vision, newborn daughter, and took into consideration all our pets. It's a complex zoo to say the least and almost "Mission Impossible."
Not surprisingly, they merged it all together and created a carefully curated and mindfully designed space. It is now a home that represents us as a young family - a combination of a SoHo House on steroids and an Italian resort that's relaxing and feels like its "lived in" (not some stuffy place where you are afraid to sit on the couch and kids are not allowed to have fun.)
We absolutely love our home, and we love DVS so much that we trusted them with design consulting projects in our professional lives as well.
Without a doubt, we would recommend a visit with DVS for your interior design needs. Words or some 5 star google review doesn't adequately measure our happiness - IT IS OFF THE CHARTS."
When Patricia Lockwood from Design Vision Studio walked into my house, my life opened up to self-expression and connection with my real loves (nature, birds, dark, blue, orange and a great deal of happiness.)
Patricia has the ability to pull fresh ideas out of her clients. We had serious talks about what I should keep and what I should get rid of. She was right in every respect and I soon had an uncluttered house as the basis for my house project.
The whole team was wonderful to work with, and I can’t say enough great words about the genius of creativity of Kevin Smith who did the custom cabinetry. He is the best!!
This home is the last one I will ever live in and it’s my favorite of all homes in my life. I am so pleased that a friend led me this way with the opportunity to work with Design Vision Studio. I highly recommend this team!!!
Run do not walk to Design Vision Studio! Yes, they are very busy, but so worth the wait.
I was the "list it girl" and my husband was the "love it guy." I honestly did not think there was anything that could be done to our house to make me want to stay. I was wrong! DVS, with Patricia and Kelli at the helm, has transformed our home into a functional, aesthetically beautiful, warm and elegant home.
We were beyond shocked at the transformation, and so were all of our friends.
Not many can say they truly enjoy a remodel, but I really did love working with these 2 incredibly talented and passionate women.
If you have patience, a good sense of humor, trust the process, and are mindful to batch your thoughts (e mails)...private joke... , you will all get along just fine and help expedite your project. I just love these 2 ladies so much ,they truly are Dream-Makers!!!
Patricia and Kelli are FANTASTIC. They are extremely talented and saved us hours and hours of time by figuring out our style and suggesting options for redecorating our home. They recommended wonderful contractors who are building our new kitchen. They are creative (yet practical), excellent communicators, create a functional design, are organized and budget-conscious. In addition, they are a lot of fun!
I needed a kitchen design for what had to be the ugliest and most unfunctional kitchen in our second home in Palm Springs. I waited four years to remodel until I simply couldn't stand it anymore.
Patricia and her team are the VERY BEST designers I've ever worked with. They did an amazing job for me. The end result is absolutely stunning and takes my breath away.
I am horrified when I think of what would have happened if I hadn't engaged her firm. She is obviously a true professional who knows what she's doing. I can't thank her enough for doing exactly what she said she would do. I put a lot of faith in her and it was well deserved.
You cannot go wrong working with Design Vision Studio. I feel blessed that I had the pleasure of working with her and would be happy to do it again.
Our home so beautiful we can hardly believe it! We can’t wait to show friends and family. We asked for light, bright and contemporary and Design Vision Studio delivered. Thanks for unique choices - we went with your picks and am so glad we did. You are great designers and we will recommend you.
Design vision studio was incredible! We purchased a new single family home from a builder in La Quinta with the intention of converting the property into a part time short term rental. Without a doubt, the decision to work with Patricia and Kelli was one of the best decisions in the home buying process. Being from Canada, they curated all pieces of furniture and wallpaper, stored what was needed, coordinated delivery, installation and managed the photography so we had a completely functioning property before we stepped foot in the home. Would highly recommend Design Vision as their attention to detail, willingness to challenge design status quo, and communication was superb. Cheers!
My experience with Design Vision Studio was amazing! Patricia and Kelli have such great style and are absolute professionals. Their ideas were sometimes out-of-the-box and thank goodness because I would have played it safe and my home would not have been as fabulous as it is today! They were on-point with my budget and stuck to the agreed upon time frame. I highly recommend Design Vision Studio!!
What a fun and very helpful experience. I had a 2 hour consultation with Patricia. Patricia listened to me and her direct approach was so helpful. I appreciate her style immensely. She has me going in the right direction which is what I needed. I appreciated how she guided me through the paint selection process. I feel very confident in all the decisions we made. She delivered!!
You two are amazing! Thank you so much for making time for me yesterday and in the past few weeks. I am so incredibly grateful for all your amazing creativity, resourcefulness, expertise. I don't know how you do so much, and so well. And your energy is truly contagious! I could not be more thrilled with how things are coming together here, and your help has been invaluable. I can't wait to implement the amazing ideas that were flowing yesterday.
Thank you for all the emails, resources. I just love all of it. You both really know your stuff and I am so lucky that you agreed to help me.
Thank you again a million times over!!
It was a pleasure working with Patricia and Kelli of Design Vision studio. Their 30 day design program was the perfect solution to get our desert home renovation started on the right foot, and to provide inspiration for the selection of art, furniture and light fixtures. They are very effective with time management and their email communication and updates were excellent. We would highly recommend their services which could be beneficial at any stage of a renovation. They are fun and enthusiastic, a pleasure to work with and get you thinking outside of your usual comfort zone. The first 2 hours which we spent with Kelli walking through the space, and seeing her immediate vision and recommendations were invaluable at an early planning stage. Hands down the 30 day design program is excellent value for any homeowner who wants to refresh their home.
Our Design Visit with Patricia Lockwood was the best investment! My husband and I are from the East Coast and we just purchased a home in the desert. We needed help in getting started with how to design and style in a desert "look" and Patricia brought us awesome ideas and guidance. We now have a plan on the next steps with decorating our home. Patricia went through each room providing styling strategies as well as resources on where to shop for these items. She also gave us recommendations on best places for purchasing appliances, artwork, furniture etc. which is important when you are new to the area.
I have worked with interior decorators and value their expertise on styling your home so you avoid design errors. It is not an expense but rather an investment in the future of a great looking home. Design Vision Studio has a well-organized and informative website which influenced my decision on their services. I look forward to working with Patricia in the near future.
What a find! My husband and I recently took on a total home redesign project. Having worked in the design field for over 35 years, I was looking for a local designer to work with. I found exactly who I was looking for in Patricia Lockwood and Design Vision Studio.
Not only did I find a talented designer, but I found a sister from another mother! Her work reflected my design aesthetic in every way, but more importantly, her work ethics were in total alignment with mine. Patricia was easy to work with, a great listener, creative, resourceful and responsive. She has tons of patience and is a joy to be around. We had a blast! Who can say that about a remodel, especially one that happened during the COVID shutdown??
I can’t say enough about Patricia, you will not be sorry you hired her. We could not be happier with our new home. We also found her pricing to be more than fair!
Working with the Design Vision Studio team was an absolute dream! Their "30 Days of Design" was exactly what we needed. We had the basics but needed the creativity, and quite frankly, the genius of the DVS team to help us add that extra layer of specialness to our home. Patricia was AMAZING! She created an action plan combining our loves and interests and made our house, our home. I am not kidding you, she made the whole process completely painless! The concept really worked and in 30 days our home was transformed and it "looks like a Rockstar now", just as she promised! We are absolutely over-the-moon in love with the place now! We adore you Patricia, and the whole DVS team! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
My wife and I wanted to give our townhouse in Palm Desert a fresh look and really didn’t know where to start. We decided to get help from Design Vision Studio using their 30 Days of Design. We were delighted with how much help Patricia and Kelli were able to provide in a short period of time. We now have a clear vision for our project, complete with a shopping list of furniture and décor items, tile, carpet and paint selections and introductions to contractors. Patricia and Kelli were highly professional to work with and very responsive to our needs and design preferences. Their taste is impeccable, and we are confident our project is going to look amazing.
We purchased the 30 Days of Design from Design Vision Studio. We are very happy with our results! Patricia and Kelli came to our house, thoroughly interviewed us and really captured our style. We were very impressed with how easy they made it for us to purchase all the items we needed to buy by providing us with storyboards and purchasing options for each room. Thanks Patricia and Kelli for making this such a great experience!
I needed design guidance ... across a border and in another Country! No problem for this incredible team. Patricia worked with a quick poorly shot video and 3rd hand measurements. She is AMAZING to say the least. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!
We really enjoyed our design experience with Design Vision Studio. Patricia and Kelli are absolutely amazing and lovely to work. They had THE vision to transform our house to HOME and went above and beyond to make it happen and make sure we love the final design. They took the time to understand our style and expectations and proposed the changes that suits our life style and young/growing family very well. Very happy with the service.
When I started working with Patricia I had an idea in my head of the look I was hoping to achieve. I shared my thoughts and pictures with Patricia and away we went. Having her with me to select finishes for our new home made the job move along so smoothly. She knew what I wanted and challenged me to be brave with fabrics to get the wow factor I was looking for. Patricia is a pleasure to work with and was able to pull together all that we wanted and more (including the amazing blue chandelier)!) I would use her again for sure.
Patricia was great to work with and in 30 days turned the house we purchased into a home. Her choices on color, furniture, lighting, rugs and cabinets were outstanding. She took the time to get to know our lifestyle and what would work best for us. Really liked her custom fee structure based on how much help we needed.
There came a time in 2019 when I needed to update my home in Palm Springs. I was caring for a elderly family member, and the home needed to be refreshed with "aging in place" design ideas and products. Patricia came to my home, interviewed my family, and shortly thereafter returned with a complete soup-to-nuts design package that accomplished three key elements. 1) Patricia addressed the ADA needs in my home, 2) Patricia addressed the design preferences voiced in our first meeting, and 3) Patricia had a coordination plan with our contractor to execute the whole-home makeover efficiently and cost effectively.
Our plan came in on-time and mostly within budget (over budget because of choices I made, not Patricia. Those big screens were more costly than I thought...
If you have an upcoming project, I urge you to reach out to Patricia. Her personality will leave you warm, her work will leave you smiling.
We had to do a gut reno of our kitchen and had no idea where to start. We hired Patricia to do "30 Days of Design" and it was worth every penny! Not only does she have impeccable taste, she’s extremely organized and knowledgeable about every aspect of the process. She was able to anticipate things that might pop up and cause headaches down the line. Patricia also connected us with our fabulous contractors H&G. We absolutely love our new gorgeous kitchen and it's thanks to Design Vision Studio. Every time I walk into it I literally say out loud, "OMG I love my kitchen!"
My husband and I bought a new home in Indio and was in need of great Interior Design.
I'm very grateful that I found you, Patricia! I still remember when you called me over the phone for the first time and I was screaming of excitement like a teenage girl. I told Robert that day that I met the coolest interior designer ever and I was starstruck.
It's been our pleasure working with you. You made it very fun for us! This has been a very delightful experience and we couldn't be happier. You listened to us and you delivered! You are an amazing human being. You have passion for what you do and it shows.
Thank you for working with us.
It's been a joy!
You made our home stunningly beautiful!
Our homes are our castles right? Yep so true. My castle these days is a tiny home in the desert and I needed help! With a limited budget and tight timeline, we went with the ‘Day with a Designer’ service package. Patricia and team Design Vision Studio turned a shabby tiny home into a show stopper - literally! This home now pops with vibrance and color and functionality. Patricia is the loveliest, most professional designer you will ever want to know. Plan ahead if you need design vision, color choices, furniture choices etc., as this team will no doubt be very busy making dreams and castles come true. Thank you so much for you kind, professional assistance Patricia.
My needs were extensive and Patricia was there for two bathroom remodels, selection of furniture & fabrics plus space planning rooms that now work well. Her eye for color and composition was invaluable. We had lots to accomplish and had fun doing it. I have recommended Patricia to others who have been just as ecstatic about their results.
Patricia worked her magic in a short time with great results! Armed with her vision, combined with her feel for our style, we integrated a San Francisco urban look into a Palm Desert environment...and it worked. New flooring throughout, kitchen transformed. Her suggestions for paint colors and wall coverings were exceptional. We trusted Patricia. We were so right.
"It was just a shot in the dark when we selected an interior design consultant from the Internet for our secondary home in La Quinta but we really lucked out with Patricia. Her professionalism, integrity, promptness and attention to detail and budgeting was evident from the beginning. We also really appreciated the fact that she didn’t try to "dictate" design, decorating and furniture choices but rather worked with our ideas and preferences while still maintaining enough guidance to ensure a great result. Patricia even referred us to maintenance and repair people who were awesome and who we still use today. You won’t go wrong with Lockwood Interiors! "
"Lockwood Interiors provided an affordable, updated design for our home that is has a warm and comfortable look and feel. Patricia Lockwood listens and delivers. Our favorite outcome of our project was being able to merge the new and old into a great look. "
"I first worked with Patricia at Lockwood quite a few years ago. I love her work ethics! She passes on the discounts and deals she receives to her customers (you never see this happening) which helps her them save a little here and there. She completely revamped our house and we worked hand and hand with her in a design that worked for us and the outcome is AMAZING! I have referred her to a few individuals who have thanked me time and time again for the great job she’s done on their home. It’s such a great feeling to hear the excitement in my friends voices when someone has complimented them on Patricia’s design and the outcome of their projects. She’s simply the best! "
"I am so fortunate to have met Patricia of Lockwood Interiors at the time that I did. Last fall, I had a plumbing leak while being out of town which flooded 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, all of the closets, and all of the hallways of my home. Within days, I had people moving all of my belongings into storage. Dry wall, flooring, baseboards, bathroom vanities, and much more were completely demolished. I was left dealing with the insurance appraiser, insurance contractor, my contractor, asbestos workers, flood crew, termite guy, hotels, long term residence vendors, the mortgage carrier, my dogs… and my sanity (or lack of). I had EVERYTHING to remodel. So, I ventured out on my own and went to store after store after store (after store): paint stores, tile stores, online websites, lighting places, countertop warehouses, faucet places, flooring stores etc. Some would call this ’fun’ to go shopping to remodel, but doing all of these rooms all at one time had me stressed beyond what I was capable of. Enter Patricia Lockwood! Not only is Patricia incredibly easy to work with, she knows her stuff! As we started talking, I could see the wheels turn with ideas. She didn’t try to give me a ’style’ that wasn’t me, but rather listened to what over-all feeling I wanted and then gave me reasonable suggestions on how to achieve it that would fit my budget. She pulled together colors, textures, room lay-out for function, and design effortlessly. Her ability to translate what you want into actual rooms is fantastic. She is not only easy to work with, but has quite a sense of humor and my stress level went from ’out of control’ to ’wow, this is fun’. I would truly recommend Patricia for any design job. "
"I’m loving your ideas and get the conceptual look you are going for. Thank you for all of your valuable input. I really love working with you, so easy! "
"Thank you for the wonderful job you’ve done decorating our home! We both really love the ‘new look’."
"Patricia offers professional advice based on your needs, style and personality. She will graciously give you her honest opinion but is always flexible in balancing her professional judgment with each person’s individual needs. She is willing to assist no matter what the budget in order to accomplish your dream and vision. Patricia is always prompt, dependable and friendly. She can make your dream or vision become a reality. You will love her excitement and dedication to you as a friend, as your dream becomes a reality."
"I would highly recommend Patricia Lockwood of Lockwood Interiors to anyone who might consider enlisting the aid of an interior designer. Patricia has a keen sense of design, color and scale and establishes a great rapport with her clients making the design process both productive and enjoyable!"
"I bought brand new home, and ask Patricia if she could help me out with paint colors. I not only got great color through out the home, but also did a fantastic job of designing every room. I couldn't be more happy with Patricia, she took into account my individual tastes so the house, would be MY home."
"As a general contractor that has worked with several interior decorators, Patricia is the tops. She not only makes my job easier, she also asks me on advice on items of my expertise. She has all the colors on a sheet so there is no guessing on which wall has what color and goes where. I love her designs, she has great ideas and is a very fun person to work with and for. She is a professional in a aspects . I truly enjoy working with her and would highly recommend her."
"We used Lockwood Interiors twice and were very happy with Patricia’s knowledge and professionalism. The first time she came over she helped me update several things and was very patient in selecting fabrics, etc. I am difficult to please but she "nailed" what I wanted and it was a very pleasant experience. The second time she helped me with several valances in my kitchen which I had been agonizing over for three years. We absolutely loved her selection. She also gave us valuable information each time she came to our home and we will use her in the future. My husband and I would both highly recommend Lockwood Interiors."
"From the first time we met Patricia, we knew she was the right person for the job. She was able to take our 21 year old home from 1990’s into the present era. She has an incredible eye for color and style while still taking into consideration our tastes. Whether choosing tile, grout, counter tops, window coverings or paint, she is a true design genius. We highly recommend Patricia!"
"Wow, what a relief Patricia has been. My family moved to Huntington Beach a year ago, and love the location and neighborhood. But the house needed so much work that I couldn’t figure out where to start. Patricia to the rescue!!! She walked through the whole house with me and had excellent ideas for each room. While I haven’t been able to tackle all of them yet I now have a plan of action. She took into consideration our style and family life, and listened to all our likes and dislikes. The kitchen ended up being first on the list, and it is about half way done and amazing already! Patricia has been there for us every step of the way. For the big picture such as lay out, all the way down to the little stuff, like how to pick out knobs and pulls from of the thousands of choices out there. I could never have pulled this off by myself without going crazy. She is always calm and gets me back on track when I’m overwhelmed. If anyone needs help with their designs, I would highly recommend contacting Lockwood Interiors."
"I used to live in a house where I thought I knew colors, then I met Patricia. She helped me make it into a wonderful home with warmth and colors. She has a sense of style and she has a way of making it feel like it was yours all along, but just waiting to be found. She is remarkable!"
"Retired. Wife & I staying in old family home. Needed to refresh but on a budget. Found Patricia. A most capable and talented designer. Creative to the core. Worked easily to our budget and gave us just what we wanted. She has a wonderful personality and great sense of style. Brought our old homestead up to date. Made it fresh and so comfortable to live in. Glad to give Patricia our unqualified recommendation."
"Patricia is absolutely amazing!!! Her design ideas exceeded my expectations. She currently helped us transform my bedroom from boring to a paradise retreat and is currently working on a shared bedroom for both my son and daughter. She truely listens to the needs and wants of her customers. She was given a budget and she worked hard to put it all together. I would highly recommend her services and can’t wait to see the end results on our future projects together. "
"I have worked with Patricia Lockwood for many years. She has tons of energy and creative ideas. She brings that creativity to any project she works on. I always look forward to her smile when she walks in the door. If you hire Lockwood Interiors, you will not be disappointed. Great Interior Designer!"
"Thank heavens for Patricia Lockwood and her genius! She transformed our dingy condo to a beachfront wonderland. With her guidance and wisdom we were able to navigate through the world of remodeling and redecorating. She is not only a gifted interior designer, she was able to assist us in blending our design asthetic with a calm demeanor, combined with an unbelievable sense of humor. We never could have done it without her! We have just purchased another vacation home and would not consider taking on the redesign without her by our side. She is a gem!!"
"We have been working with Lockwood Interiors for many years. Patricia is very competent and a pleasure to work with. Her jobs come out beautifully and we appreciate her confidence in our work. We highly recommend Lockwood Interiors for their excellent service and Patricia’s unique creative design skills."
"What can I say about the total transformation of our home? We love it! Lockwood Interiors did a fantastic job. Since we have a very modest 1400 square foot home, we use and live in every room. We have two teenage sons who wanted a home they did not feel like walking around eggshells in and worry about touching things. My husband and I wanted a home we could feel comfortable living in as well as entertaining friends and business associates. Patricia came up with the perfect combination, and we love it. Patricia transformed the inside and outside of our home from just “OK” looking into an EXCEPTIONAL looking home. Everyone tells us our home is classy and beautiful and we think so too. Thank you Patricia!"
"I could not have been happier with the way our home turned out with Patricia’s talent.
Thank you - Love Love Everything!"
"Thank you, Patricia, for your vision. We came to you with a need and you brought your inspiration, keeping in mind our personalities. We now have areas in our home that reflect functionality as well as beauty. You walked with us every step of the way.
Each contractor was a professional, and our project was on budget and done on time."
"Looking to put our stamp on a partially furnished 2nd home, we hired Lockwood Interiors. Patricia was an excellent listener, creative, dependable and fun! She provided an organized and detailed design plan on how to proceed which I could do myself to best utilize Patricia’s time and expertise. Our favorite outcome is the way the house flows. Also, we love keeping in touch with the Lockwood Interiors monthly email and newsletter - so personal and informative."
"Wow, Patricia Lockwood you have done it again! You are so creative and even without asking me for any ideas, you put together the most amazing office layout for me that fits our image and personality perfectly. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!"
"The word that comes to mind is WOW!
Patricia Lockwood has an eye for details and creativity of things my mind isn’t capable of dreaming up. We have been in our home for 12 years and now that Patricia has helped us redesign and refurnish our home, we really love spending time here! Patricia is an absolute professional and has excellent ideas and will give you all the details you need to make your house a home. I would highly recommend Patricia to any of my friends and family."
"I’ve been painting in the desert for 21 years and by far Patricia Lockwood is the best designer I’ve worked for. She is very detailed and provides excellent color selections. She’s a "10" in a land of 6’s."
"Everyone asks, "Who decorated your home?" My answer is always the same –Lockwood Interiors!!!
For over ten years, Patricia has helped change my life with interior design. I used to live surrounded by WHITE walls and no personality – now I have COLOR, PERSONALITY and WARMTH in my HOME.
Whether it be with custom paint color schemes to complete home makeovers, Patricia has been the most friendly, professional and TALENTED designer I could have ever hoped to work with. I am amazed at how easy the process is, how affordable the final result is, and how pleased I am at the end result. I am always PROUD to welcome guests in my home. My experience and results have been worth every penny!!!"
"Patricia Lockwood and the team at Design Vision Studio are award-winning designers for a reason! Her eye for design, coupled with an organized, profoundly positive professional demeanor has made her one of our favorite local project partners. We also had the pleasure of working on her personal kitchen remodel. .She is highly professional, organized, and a great listener. We highly recommend using the team at Design Vision Studio to help transform your space. "
"We contracted with Lockwood Interiors after downsizing to a new home. We needed help in transforming a simple track house interior into something that wowed and spoke to us. Patricia hit it out of the park! We new we wanted crown molding throughout the home, but, beyond that we had no idea what to do. We needed help in choosing paint colors, furniture and to get ideas on how to swap out the living room and family room. We completely transformed the kitchen from blah and outdated to beautiful and a chefs delight. Patricia's eye for "what could be" went beyond our wildest dreams. We left no space untouched by Patricia, from the transformation of the new family room with the large book cases and large screen television mounted on the stone wall, to the master bedroom with wallpaper on the ceiling and the sliding barn door. Even the small touches made a large difference, i.e. throw pillows and bedspreads. When people walk into our home it is like no other they have seen. Oh, and by the way we still call Patricia for simple suggestions like what type of rug should we get for the round entryway of my home. We can’t be more pleased with her expertise and passion. Thanks so much Lockwood Interiors, I have already made several recommendations for this company."
"We would recommend Lockwood Interiors to anyone looking to completely remodel or simply add pieces to their current home. We hired Lockwood Interiors to help us downsize from a big family home to a 2 bedroom condo. Kym was always on time and full of ideas and fun to work with too. Kym gently guided us in the right direction by offering several alternatives and let us choose. She helped us select the perfect colors, furnishings and decor and we absolutely love everything."
"Joshua Desert Retreats literally grew from nothing out of the barren Mojave Desert to become a sought after lodging destination for Joshua Tree National Park visitors…
With sensitivity for the ‘non city’ experience I hoped for, you set out shopping for all manner of stuff. Wherever you came up with the most of the amazing accessories, artwork and furnishing, I’ll never know. One just can’t walk into any store and find the totally appropriate furnishings you installed in each home. With eager determination you placed everything just so. The photos were taken and placed on the web site promoting the properties and guess what happened? We booked up right away!
Guests told me they would spend weeks in anticipation consoling themselves looking at the pictures on the web site. When they arrived they would call me right away and say, "it’s so much better than the pictures! We never imagined it would be this nice." And I would never have imagined it turning out this great. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! "
"Patricia, thank you for making my house and property into an amazingly warm and inviting home, and a work area that just simply "works" exceptionally well. Yes, I know it has been over 8 years, however, to this day as I sit in my living room and gaze around, I still say those words that I said the first day, "I love my home." Your work is timeless. My family and friends continue to remark on how inviting my home is. You truly have the "eye" for design and décor, but what’s more amazing is how you took my totally abstract ideas in terms of what ‘feeling’ I wanted in each room, the colors I liked, my ‘style’, and you created an incredible place for me.
Patricia, again, thank you for everything… your time, energy, creativity, and humor. Lastly, your management of the entire project was invaluable! I LOVE MY HOME!!!"
"I feel very lucky to have discovered Lockwood Interiors. At my wit’s end after several unsuccessful meetings with interior designers, Patricia entered my life in the nick of time with affordable fees and sage advice.
I purchased a relatively new home in La Quinta that I fell in love with for its floor plan and location. The downside was that it came with a traditional or Italianesque persuasion and my tastes run more contemporary or Bohemian. My goal was to tastefully incorporate my style into this home without the greater expense of starting over. I also had some very sketchy ideas about how I’d like to improve the courtyard and master bathroom.
Patricia walked me through the process of blending paint colors to complement the home’s mixture of granite, tumbled marble, brick, carpeting, cherry wood cabinetry and white molding with my contemporary art and furniture pieces. To complete the task, Patricia hired a fantastic faux painter to create interesting texture or layering on specific ceilings and walls. I wasn’t in La Quinta for most of the work… but no worries… she managed everything. I showed up now and then to approve the work. Done!
After the painting was complete, she further transformed the home with a few more pieces of furniture, new lighting and ceiling fans for every room; sliding wooden doors that double as art to create privacy between the bed chamber and the master bath and an upgraded courtyard fence with arched wrought iron gate and trellis system. Patricia did all of the shopping, designed the bedroom doors, fence and even some custom-made furniture. She recycled a pair of my armchairs (long out of favor) with new upholstery for use in the master bedroom. Perfect transformation!"
"The lighting is amazing… virtually pieces of art. I can’t be outside without compliments from passersby on my courtyard enclosure. She helped in so many areas I almost forgot to mention redesigning the built-in entertainment center. She added open bookshelves for warmth and enhanced the art niches with risers and up lighting to showcase my hand-blown glass collection. Again, she managed all of the ins and outs – woodworkers, electricians, upholsterers, ironworkers, and carpenters. I simply came by to enjoy the results."
"Oh, and did I mention one of the most important things… she saved me LOADS OF MONEY! I am very pleased and wouldn’t change a thing. If I had attempted this myself, I would already be starting over. Guaranteed!"
"Patricia and Kym totally transformed our vacation home into a contemporary decorated and furnished home with lots of color and the WOW factor! They found some really unique great pieces at reasonable prices. They provided a binder with design pieces for each room and layout - So Professional!"
"We have worked with Lockwood Interiors several times over the years to help us remodel our casita, install new tile in our master bathroom and design a custom live edge and glass dining table for our home. Everything turned out fantastic and exceeded our expectations. They listened to our requests, had timely communication and produced the "WOW" factor. Lockwood Interiors has talented designers with great resources and connections to accomplish our goals and dreams."
"It was an exceptional experience working with Lockwood Interiors. We valued Kym’s creative expertise and her ability to connect to our tastes, needs, wants and financial limitations. The discounts from your partnership contractors were an added bonus. All the trades people you recommended were extremely professional and performed exemplary work. We love the results."
"Patricia Lockwood is one of the most gifted artists and designers I have ever met. On a personal note she transformed my new condo a few years ago into a beautiful living space. Her brilliant eye knew exactly what to do with every room and found everything for me at amazing prices! On a business level Patricia played a key role in defining the line of pillows and runners for my company, Deseo Textiles; she designed a specific size pillow; which is one of my best selling items. Deseo Textiles continues to benefit from Patricia’s expertise. She is truly an asset to my personal and business life!"
"In my years of experience working for the top 3 National Builders, I had the pleasure to work with many designers during countless projects and developments but not one has impressed me more than Lockwood Interiors professionalism and amazing Customer Service they offer to everyone, they are by far the best in their industry.
Now as a small Business owner I have had the opportunity and honor to work side by side with Lockwood Interiors on several projects and each was a success with a very happy customer that at any given moment will refer me and Lockwood interiors to anyone in need of designing and remodeling services.

It is a pleasure to let everyone know my personal experiences and honest feedback!"
"We feel so lucky that we hired Lockwood Interiors! The ability to beautifully furnish our home from a distance is what we value the most from our design and remodeling experience. We appreciated your honesty, advice and ability to find good, and reasonably priced furnishings. You listened to us while providing great service and made the experience painless and fun."
"I hired Lockwood Interiors twice within the last several years for help with two different homes. I find myself attracted to unique spaces that on the whole don’t reflect my personal style. Since I don’t have the design sense to blend my tastes within these unique spaces, I hired Lockwood Interiors to help. They worked tirelessly to find solutions that truly expressed my taste and personality, all while saving me money! I recommend Lockwood Interiors for any job. You won’t be sorry!"
"My husband and I called Patricia in a bit of a panic, after attempting design work ourselves! She came to our rescue and was very efficient with time and our money. She appreciated our budget and worked very hard to get all we wanted done! She was always available for a quick call and answered questions either on the phone, texting or email, which was very convenient. We would highly recommend her services to anyone needing professional advice!"
"We enjoyed working with Patricia. She was professional in every aspect of design and being able to create an integrated theme in order to take our vision to reality. With her as a partner we were able to transform a basic tract home into a unique, custom California hacienda. Her attention to detail and interpersonal style were excellent in every way and we highly recommend Patricia."
"To say Patricia is the ultimate professional is truly an understatement. Her work was timely, complete, and exceeded my expectations on so many levels. Most importantly, Patricia was able to listen to my ideas, wants and needs and then provide the exact style and decorating options customized for my home. She truly turned my house into the most comfortable home I have ever owned. I would highly recommend her opinions and services to anyone!"
"As an industry professional, I've had the pleasure and honor of working with Patricia and her firm on several projects. Lockwood Interiors is at the Top in their field, talented, creative, attentive to detail and above all holds her client first and foremost in mind!! Without a doubt, one of the most professional firms I've had the pleasure to work with."
"I have worked with Lockwood Interiors on projects throughout the Coachella Valley and find them to be highly professional, easy to work with and imaginative designers. I highly recommend them to anyone. They make my work look GREAT!"
"We live in Canada and having Lockwood Interiors (Patricia and Kym) take care of our long distance renovation in La Quinta, California was the best decision we could ever have made. The process was seamless, Patricia hired an amazing contractor, we had regular communication and Patricia was open to all our ideas. Our home went from an 80’s nightmare to a modern, bright, fresh looking home. Their integrity was second to none. Knowing that your designer has your best interests at heart takes away a lot of stress. For new clients I have to say that if you increase your budget it’ll be your idea not Patricia’s. She is very responsible with the set budget. Patricia and Kym have a really good eye for what will work and it’ll never be "boring". So happy to call them our friends after this experience."
"By truly understanding our design aesthetic and employing her wealth of experience, Patricia has turned our house into a world class home we love living and entertaining in. Her unique eye for art and design took our home to a whole new level of sophistication and comfort and most importantly, it felt and looked like us. Patricia strives to establish a partnership throughout the design process and listens along the way. This working relationship built on mutual respect and trust enabled us to join our visions and turn them into a reality, beyond what we could have ever imagined doing on our own."
"I can't say enough good things about Patricia Lockwood….she is a talented wonderful designer and just a good person!!!! Her expertise saved us a ton of money. She is fun to work with and her sources are incredible. Each and every person she referred did a great job. We were pedal to the metal for six months and she was with us every step of the way. We love our home and we give Patricia huge credit for that. Without Patricia to fall back on we would have had a disaster!!!! Thank you Patricia!!!!"
"We planned to renovate a small vacation condominium and Lockwood Interiors guided us through every phase of this project. They spent a great deal of time getting to know us and what we were looking for, provided us with a plan and options, and executed the project with brilliant creativity and professionalism. We highly recommend their services."
"Patricia and her team were absolutely amazing. They worked within my budget and created a design that was fresh and bright. They were creative and always available to answer any questions that I had about the project, even at odd hours. They can also work with a variety of styles and will modify their approach depending on the needs of the client. I would recommend them to anyone for any project - large or small."
"We knew it was only a matter of time before the rest of the world discovered you two! Just want you to know we feel powerless without your guidance. Please know that what you have done for us is most amazing. We love our home, thanks to you two."
"Lockwood Interiors was an absolute pleasure to work with. Patricia and her team worked on our project over a three year period. During this time, we completely remodeled and redecorated our home. She was able to interpret both of our visions and help create a plan to execute the home of our dreams. Lockwood Interiors brought clarity, organization, and excellence to an overwhelming project. For us, making the choice to invest time and money in to rebuilding our home was a difficult one. However, the best decision we made was hiring Lockwood Interiors. We recently finished the final project on our home and could not be happier with the results. Our experience with Lockwood Interiors was nothing short of excellent. Everyone we worked with was extremely competent and professional. Patricia Lockwood is an immensely talented designer and we are happy to recommend her."
"Patricia is a joy to work with, her work is beautiful, functional, and her design sense is amazing. As a photographer, I love seeing her vision of what a space can be. From smaller jobs to removing walls, she makes wonderful things happen."
"We loved how you and DVS help us transform our home interior into an amazing place for comfort. We continue to receive many compliments from our guests."
"Patricia Lockwood of Lockwood Interiors is absolutely amazing! Patricia recently redesigned our kitchen and her vision resulted in the TOTAL transformation of our inefficient closed-in design, to a beautiful open and efficient floor plan. We not only gained the functionality that we needed but also gained the "wow factor" from the moment you enter our home. The redesign of our kitchen made us feel like we gained a new house. Patricia has an eye for design that makes you excited to see her vision become reality. We were excited about her design but the final product was so much more than we imagined. This has been our fourth project with Lockwood Interiors and each project has exceeded our expectations. We can't thank Lockwood interiors enough and we will certainly use Patricia and her team for any of our future home design needs."
"Lockwood Interiors is top notch! Talk about attention to detail. Their purchasing process is so easy and accurate. Patricia and Kym have two different styles but it works. I love working with them both on projects. They are always fun and pleasant. The LOVE what they do and it shows. Anything I need is always just a phone call away. I truly appreciate your business over the years! I can’t wait to work on more projects with you."
"I contacted Lockwood Interiors after reading the many positive reviews here. I was looking for a professional design team that could partner with me to update my newly purchased home in La Quinta. I met with several firms while I was in town and ultimately was most impressed with Kym from Lockwood who was extremely professional in our initial consultation. She had a prepared list of questions to get to know me better and clarify my expectations for the project. Other firms I interviewed, while I'm sure they were qualified, did not give me the sense of being as organized, which was especially important to me given that I live out of town and needed solid local coordination. I appreciated Lockwood's billing model which is based on consulting hours with no markup for specific furniture recommendations. Given that this was my first time working with a designer team, this was a big plus for me. The Lockwood team introduced me to an outstanding contractor to execute our vision, who did a phenomenal job. This alone saved me a ton of time and effort to vet out local contractors. Ultimately, while over my initial budget, the end result exceeded my expectations. Now I really don't mind the eight hour drive from San Francisco!"
"Our experience with Design Vision Studio has been fantastic. Kym, our designer, was so great at working with us and listening to our needs. The best part of hiring DVS was the professionals they worked with to do our remodel. This alone was worth the price of their services. I would highly recommend them."
"My husband and I just completed gutting, re-designing and furnishing our 1800 sq. ft. home in Palm Desert. We hired Patricia and Kym based on recommendations we read on the Internet. We interviewed them on the phone and went with our instincts! We were not misguided. They came up with the entire new floor plan, suggested an awesome contractor and guided us through the selection of colours, fabrics, flooring, tiling, accessories and every other necessity that comes with doing an entire home. They were always open to hearing our views and suggestions and many times re-iterated that this was "our" home, not theirs. The project came in on budget and within the time frame quoted. As we were not present for much of the construction and finishing of this project, Patricia and Kym were instrumental in making sure the project went forward in a timely manner and regularly checked up on the job. I can't recommend them highly enough."
"The project involved a total demolition of a 3 bedroom 2 bath 2,000 sq foot home in a 20 year old gated community. We provided Lockwood with little direction other than to describe we wanted a clean, simple, "California fresh" look. We gave them a swatch of quilting fabrics and a new bedspread for color ideas. Lockwood provided a pallet of color, textures and finishes, a furniture layout plan and a kitchen design supplier. They guided us through furniture selection. They presented a complete package of lighting, flooring, paint and accessories. If there was any one piece we did not like, they went back and found another excellent choice. Other times, they remained firm on certain elements.... After all, they are the designers and they were right! Patricia, Kym and Sarah were excited about our project. Their enthusiasm made the process fun for us. They made effective use of our time when decisions were required. They executed ordering, delivery and set up thoroughly and efficiently. While there were two minor glitches, Lockwood worked with the contractor to resolve the problems as effectively as possible to our satisfaction. Our home has a coordinated and consistent design look and feel. We are very happy clients."
"I had a pleasure working with Kym C. I found Kym knowledgeable, helpful with her suggestions and very accommodating. The contractor she recommended was friendly and very competent. The project got done on time and I am very pleased with the result. Thank you, Kym. Design Vision Studio for Lockwood gets my highest recommendation!"
"In less than an hour Kym helped us make some quick changes to stage the condo we wanted to sell, and then created a plan for updating the new home we were buying in affordable stages. In the desert, many homes are purchased furnished. Kym helped us maximize or update what we "inherited," recommend high impact (yet not necessarily expensive) changes and negotiate/navigate the inevitable husband/wife "I love it/I hate it" decisions. She has amazing listening skills and presents a variety of options with rationale that connects to both the left brain logical and right brain creative clients. Thank you for helping us turn our new house into our treasured home."
"I hired Patricia to do an upscale remodel of an expensive home. She hit the ball out of the park. The house looked amazing and livable once completed. Not too artsy, but heavy on classy. She exceeded my expectations. So much so, that I hired her to buy furniture for me as well. I could not believe how amazing everything looked when she was done. I will keep working with Patricia in the future. She is professional and treats your project as if it is the most important thing she is working on."
"We engaged Design Vison Studio to do a complete remodel and refurnish of a 1200 square feet condo. We were very pleased with the professionalism and the quality of service received. Our input was carefully considered and their initial design was exactly what we imagined. Their fees were reasonable and very clearly related to us as they occurred. The work of their contractors was first class. We would certainly use them again if the occasion arose."
"Patricia is the one person I do not have to worry about when I do a project. She meets her time lines with exquisite detail. I love working with her."
"Patricia and Kym are absolutely wonderful to work with! I have worked with Design Vision Studios on a couple of projects and they go above and beyond for the clients find the perfect fit and making there dreams come true. They both have such fun personalities and very professional and experts at what they true! They are a truly an inspiration."
"My wife and I bought a vacation home in the desert in February which posed a problem. We wanted to renovate the entire home but were returning to Illinois soon and wouldn't be around until December and wanted to return with it totally renovated. Well we were fortunate to discover Patricia and Kym from DVS. Before leaving for the season they presented a plan with full visuals and examples and budget. We returned in December and WOW!!!!! It is beautiful we love it and don't even want to leave the house. They were very organized and it was so easy to make decision. You might say painless if possible. We only have two complaints. First with Patricia, it's her hair. Sometimes it sticks straight up to the sky. Finally figured out that is what happens when she gets excited and starts a project and then when completes the project. Then there is Kym. Everyone is familiar with TGIF. Well she has an awkward twist to that or is just confused. She believes in TBIF ! Too Bad It's Friday! And if that's not enough when Monday rolls around she comes up with TGIM! Well if you can work through these two issues we would highly recommend DVS. You'll love the results."
"Kym... wow... You and your team should be very proud of yourself for the incredible home that you created for this old sports fan. Thank you for making it all happen."
"Working with Vision Design (formally Lockwood Interiors) has been a great experience for me. Services were provided by the owner, Patricia and her business partner Kym. The team is very skilled at internalizing your taste, style, and personality into a beautiful design. Their attention to detail, design ideas and understanding of my needs helped to transform my home from a very traditional residence into a modern, trendy, and functional California home! The design ideas recommended were exceptional and harmonized all rooms throughout my entire home. It was particularly interesting to me in that there were a few design ideas I wasn't quite sure of and when the work was completed I loved it! I also appreciated how the team incorporated previously owned furnishings that were important to me into their design. The customer service was exceptional and they were very responsive to questions and my needs. Additionally, they went the extra mile in suggesting some color advice and direction for my home exterior...thanks!!! I would definitely work with them again. Congratulations and well done!!!"
"Design Vision Studio did a great job for us, from listening to what we generally had in mind, to creating a more open, airy space, to making inspired selections that were sensitive to our budget, and to selecting and supervising contractors and vendors who put everything into action! We have a real California place now!"
"I must share that we've received a lot of really positive comments about our home. Vacation PS, along with my kids and now a couple of repeat renters all describe our home as "fresh", "easy to live in" and "love the colour palette"…. more, but those are the words that get said repeatedly. My middle son who is the realtor and home stager was blown away at what the house looked like when we bought it, to the end inside product and new landscaping. The landscaping for sure really 'woke up" the outside feel. Anyway, you were such a breath of fresh air to meet - and so incredibly helpful. We feel so grateful for all that you did for us."
"Very responsive, great ideas and creativity. Kym was very easy and a pleasure to work with. Good recommendations from everything to lighting to counter tops to contractors."
"I've known Patricia Lockwood for a few years now and her designs are absolutely incredible! She is incredibly talented, and uses all types of medium for her projects, is a pro at colors and how to use them where, along with textures and designs, we love her and all she does!"
"My Name is Jason. I am part owner in a small studio gym in Palm desert CA called Fit in 42 El Paseo! Patricia is one in a million. She not only got our concept for our new studio but she actually opened our eyes to an elegant and professional new design for our studio. She helped us keep the gym vibe but also but also gave the studio some life and energy through her uplifting design. Patricia is really just an amazing person all round. She really listens and and works with you to make your vision become a reality. Patricia you are amazing and this new design is going to help us create a real brand."
"Design Vision Studio did an amazing job designing our space to compliment the re-branding of our fitness business. We have experienced an increase in revenue and our members are thrilled with the results. Patricia and her team were extremely easy to work with and thorough. I am very busy throughout the day and I do not have a lot of time to put into our design. They took over control and did a fantastic job. I couldn't be happier. Not to mention the team are funny, friendly and just good people. Thank you very much."
"Well, after doing 14 homes in 25 years we thought we knew it all. Patricia and her team proved they could "one up" us as they came in and rolled up their sleeves and overhauled our home. Needless to say, we were blown away by the results of the project."
"We had our Design Vision Visit (consultation) and received direction on how to bring an overall sense of design to our living areas when we saw none. Our favorite outcome was the excellent suggestions for design solutions using our existing furniture and how to add some color to tie everything together. We also received valuable advice for our furniture placement along with key, small but significant changes and additions. If you are considering hiring Design Vision Studio we say "DO IT!" It's worth every penny."
"Kym and Patricia are talented interior designers with super positive attitudes and were great to work with. After the initial presentation of what they were planning for my home I made some comments on what worked for me and what I wanted modified and they complied (to most of it 🙂 but their advice was always spot on. I would definitely recommend them. I'm very pleased with the project and our relationship."
"When we bought our house and were considering design and decorating needs, my first response was "oh, I can do this myself!" However, being that this home is not our primary residence and we live in another state, I was concerned with how to approach it from afar - and to do it efficiently and keep an eye on costs.
I began to research professionals on Houzz who could help us with our project. Pretty quickly I zeroed in on Design Vision Studio. The photos that they posted on their site were terrific and I felt that Patricia and Kym would be a good fit for us - so off we went to talk with Patricia and Kym and to engage DVS's services!
Here are some things I would say about Patricia and Kym:
They got to know us personally before beginning the project - to understand what we were like and to know how we planned to use our spaces.
While we live in the home a good deal of the time, it is also used as rental property and we didn't want to go over the top financially. We wanted it to be very comfortable and homey, but also to attract vacation rentals. Our final result is fantastic and renters compliment it all of the time!
They listened to us if we had alternate ideas or challenged a particular decision on something. And they were certainly responsive if we had an issue.
While we didn't necessarily have a budget, they were cost conscious in recommending selections and options. They helped my husband have a comfort level that by using DVS's contacts in the industry, we were getting great value on our purchases.
My tendency is to go with 'safe and neutral' pieces [furniture, artwork, etc.]. However, Patricia & Kym pushed us a bit out of our comfort zone on a few pieces in order to make a 'wow' statement in the room. I am so glad that we just trusted their judgment and let them do it! Even the furniture delivery guys made comments on some of the cool pieces.
Plus, they're fun ladies to work with!
In summary, we now have a gorgeous home that we are proud of - and we love being there. We get amazing feedback from guests who see the final result. Would we work with Patricia and Kym again on a future project? Most definitely. Now if I can convince my husband to let me do it again…..!"
"Patricia and Kym at Design Vision Studios are the best!! Extremely professional with a great eye for design and how everything will come together in the end. We had a complete interior remodel of our 20 yr old home and they guided us in picking all of our finishes and furniture. It turned out great. All of our friends and family have been amazed at the transformation of our home. Our last friends to tour our home said they gave our designers an A+. I couldn't agree more."
"We recently experienced a serious water damage issue in our Palm Desert home. My wife and I live in Northern California so we needed a local interior design firm that would not only help us with all the design decisions but also project manage the work, including sourcing and project managing the sub-contractors.Patricia Lockwood, Design Vision Studio, responded immediately when we reached out to her firm. After a meeting with Patricia at our home we were comfortable that she could help us make good decisions choosing flooring, cabinetry, fixtures and finishes. And she would also be a strong and competent project manager. Plus, we were on a tight deadline to get everything completed by Thanksgiving for our annual trip to the desert and she was ready to get to work.This was an extensive remodel and there were lots of issues. Most of the time we were in Northern California and dependent on Patricia to keep the work flowing and to make decisions as the need arose. She performed at a high level and we are extremely pleased with the results. Patricia is very competent, easy to work with, and an excellent interior designer. My wife and I would recommend her and would certainly use her again."
"Wow! Working with Patricia is so fun and easy! She has fabulous taste and is great at sharing her opinion and suggestions. We just purchased a small condo in Palm Desert that was built in the late 1970s. It really needs some updating and some wow factor. We loved all of Patricia's ideas and she is really helping to pull our project together. Without her guidance I'd be overwhelmed with all of the choices out there. She is helping us with kitchen remodel design, fireplace, furniture layout, windows and paint colors initially. I will definitely have her back as we get to other rooms and furnishings."
"Patricia is a Godsend, a savior. I was floundering...ALL over the place with disparate ideas about tile, style, color, etc. She set me straight in a professional manner, guiding me to what I am confident will be a superb outcome. She exceeded my expectations. She is delightful and clearly loves her work. I am so very happy I found her. She "gets" me!"
