Introduction: Elizabeth Clayton Interiors is a full-service residential interior design business with 26 years of experience in the industry. Our passion is creating interior spaces that are: • Beautiful, unique and aesthetically pleasing • Exclusively designed to the homeowners’ style, taste and specifics (not the designer's preferences) • Trend savvy • Functional, safe and code compliant. By determining all space requirements, budget parameters and client specifics, we are enabled to select all decorative and functional elements to complete the space. Additionally we work alongside contractors on renovations, reviewing blueprints and ensuring that building codes and inspection regulations are met. A brief summary of the steps you can expect to take during the design process when working with us are: • Designer will work with clients to determine the scope of the project, timelines, budget requirements, styles and preferences • Designer will develop design concept choices including space plans, furniture and furnishing selections, color schemes, lighting options and potential renovation recommendations • Designer will meet with client for presentation and review of above • Designer will engage and select contractors and vendors to specify project requirements, functionality and cost-effectiveness • Designer will supervise and manage project parameters • Designer will ensure code compliance and permitting on all renovations • Designer will supervise contractors and vendors for accuracy and timeliness • Designer will coordinate and complete project installation • Designer will reveal final project to clients • Designer will follow up and supervise any post-installation details When I'm often asked about my profession, I generally get a response like "oh, what a fun job you must have!" The truth of the matter is that the profession is definitely fun (!) but designing is only a small part of the overall process which extends into many other areas of business as well! This overall and all-encompassing part of being a designer brings about much satisfaction and joy as a project is birthed, raised and sent out into the proverbial world for the client as well as everyone else to enjoy...

I loved working with Elizabeth and her team and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an interior designer who brings creativity and style but designs her work to fit YOU and your personality and preferences. I was initially nervous about working with a designer because (1) I had a budget and (2) I had my own ideas and opinions about what I wanted. I had heard that many designers blow the budget and force you into styles that don't necessarily fit your personality. Not Elizabeth. She knew where to push and where to bring in her own creativity and expertise to fit my interests and taste while respecting the budget which we, by the way, stayed within!! I now LOVE every room in my house and am continually thrilled each time I walk from room to room at how cohesive and beautiful everything turned out to be. Elizabeth also did a great job working under pressure. I had a deadline to complete the project and I appreciated that Elizabeth got the work done on time. Finally, she and her team operated with the highest amount of integrity. We had an issue which came up with one of the vendors we hired ourselves and Elizabeth stepped in and even worked to resolve the issue with a new vendor, offering an unwarranted credit for the additional services. I had the utmost trust in her and never had a problem leaving her in my home to work while I was away. We are now finished with this home but if we move into another one I will ABSOLUTELY use her again!

For a single guy, renovating and decorating a newly purchased home can be an overwhelming task. When I moved from a rented apartment to a new four-bedroom home, I wanted to personalize my home so that it was attractively appointed, yet warm and inviting when family and friends would be visiting me. I did not have the skill set, nor the time, necessary to do this type of work myself, so decided to hire an interior designer. I hired Elizabeth Clayton Interiors, after being impressed with a few of her other projects. I contacted Elizabeth Clayton, and from our initial consultation was impressed. Elizabeth listened to my likes and dislikes, and then utilized her creativity and design skills to develop an overall plan that would accomplish the interior design goals for my home. Along with overall decorating changes, she suggested minor renovations, such as enlarging the entry space to create the "Wow! factor" when entering the home, and creating a new practical entry area for several furniture pieces. Elizabeth hired and supervised the contractors responsible for this work, and specified the new flooring that connected these new spaces . When I purchased the home, it was several years old. The renovations were not major, but extensive enough to make the home look new. Aside from cosmetic renovations, I purchased new flooring, wall treatments, window treatments, furniture, furnishings, artwork and lighting. Elizabeth respected my budget and time constraints, and was able to work within them.When something within the budget became a concern, she would make creative alternative suggestions so that the project was not compromised, but stayed on track. A few times, she even rolled up her sleeves and worked on things herself. I was very pleased with the outcome of my home renovation/decorating project. I realize I couldn't have done this project on my own. Surprisingly, the expense to hire an interior design expert like Elizabeth was not as expensive as I thought. I believe it was a well-made investment. I am glad I hired Elizabeth Clayton Interiors.

Elizabeth helped me choose a color palette for my new home, as well as offering tons of advice on furniture layout, lighting, and other style elements. After taking her advice, I'm thrilled with the results.

Our new house needed the touch of it's new owners but was too large of a space to tackle without any design or color experience. Elizabeth came over and spent two hours giving me some great guidance on colors and light. The painters are here this week and my husband and I are so thrilled with our choices - we took some color chances, and they have turned this house into my dream home!

I can't say enough great things about Elizabeth. She came to my house ready to turn it into a home. I only thought I would be receiving a consultation on one room but she went all out and offered her professional advice on the entire home. I will be using the plans she drew out for me to. Highly recommend!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have several methods of pricing my services depending on the scope of the project. For my clients who want to utilize my services on a one-time consultation basis, there is a flat fee rate for a minimum 2-hour consultation. This is a very popular option for those who need the professional advice and opinions of a designer but choose to either "go it themselves" or they have their own trade contacts they wish to use for their project. For a more in-depth project that involves hands-on designer services, I utilize either a"project/flat fee" rate or a percentage rate or an hourly rate or a combination of the above that is discussed in depth with the client depending on their job requirements and preferences.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
During our introductory telephone call, the client gives me an overall idea of the scope of the project. We meet at the project space for an initial consultation. I gather the facts, view the space, discuss the budget and obtain a timeframe. If the client wishes to proceed further, an agreement is determined. Once retained, the project then goes into high drive while all elements of the design are researched, gathered and eventually presented to the client for selection and approval. Then follows specifying, ordering/purchasing and follow-up and finally the eventual installation of the project. Oftentimes, renovations are involved on either a small or large scale which involve contractors who are directed and personally supervised by my company.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My education came from the certificate and eventual bachelor's program at the Interior Designers Institute in Newport Beach, California which was a rigorous and comprehensive 3-year program and, at the time, the only FIDER-accredited (now CIDA) school in the state. Since my early education and training with several designers, I'm involved in ongoing trade-related seminars and educational forums to stay current with the trends of an ever-developing and evolving industry.
