Introduction: I am with my clients every step of the way. I care about the relationships I build, staying on budget, moving through the design process smoothly, and I care that my client loves the transformation. I make sure my clients avoid costly mistakes; I guide toward best choices, and I do everything I can to ensure a pleasant experience throughout the process. Interior Design requires creativity, organization, and attention to detail. It takes product knowledge and the ability to see and manage the big picture. It takes competency, and it takes a lot of trust! These traits are what make LE Designs successful. I offer light & major remodels, kitchen & bath design, space planning and furniture sourcing (custom & ready-made), window coverings, and color & paint selection. I also offer an action-packed 2+ Hour consultation to identify and address all your design challenges that guide you toward a successful DIY experience! As the owner and principal designer of Linda Elkins Designs, I have over 15 years experience in interior design, and prior to 2017, I owned a thriving home staging business in Southern California for 12 years. Happy clients, who are well served, is my priority. I've been blessed to have wonderful clients who are a pleasure to work with. Each client and project is unique... my job is never boring! Serving clients in Star, Eagle, Meridien and Boise, Idaho areas.

I am a minister and I have worked with Linda a couple of times...One time with my church in which she helped us design and decorate for the kind of feel we wanted in our sanctuary. She was excellent to work with. She listened and understood what I was looking for and brought forth something even better! Because of what she did at our church, I had her come to my home that my partner and I were remodeling. She was able to see possibilities that I did not see and we were able to execute those ideas into a reality that we are very happy with! If I could give her 6 stars, I would!

Working with Linda was a joy. She assisted me in my choices for a master bathroom makeover - really important when I was feeling overwhelmed with the hundreds of different selections for tile, faucets, lighting, etc. Linda always allowed my style to be the primary focus, never imposing her personal preferences. She offered advise based on her knowledge and experience, helping me avoid any mistakes. Linda's schedule was very flexible, and her spirit constantly upbeat. In addition, her contractors came on time and provided very high quality services. Best designer I've worked with in my life. I would recommend Linda without question.

Linda is a total delight to work with! She is very approachable and easy to talk to. She really listened to my needs and found solutions for my dilemmas that I would have never come up with on my own! I also had her do a Feng Shui reading on my home and I was surprised by the accuracy of her findings. I have gladly recommended Linda to all my friends and I will definitely work with her again!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Every project is different so I must know more in order to fairly and accurately submit a proposal. I am committed to making sure my clients receive value for their investment. I have an hourly fee and I can also provide a fixed fee. My business is like a retail store, but without a storefront. When sourcing furniture and materials, I provide best pricing to clients where I am able. I always go the extra mile for my clients... it’s just how I’m wired!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After an introductory phone call, a potential client and I will get to know each other during our first in-person consultation. This is an action-packed, working consultation and there is a fee. Here, we will review what the client wants and needs, as well as answer any questions or address concerns. If we are a good fit, the consultation will be followed up with a proposal for the project. Once the proposal is accepted, we get to work!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I owned my home staging company (2005-2017) in Ventura County, CA... years before the tv shows and anyone really knew what the word meant! While I still provide staging DIY consultations, my focus is on interior design and home, kitchen & bath remodels. I have passed the California Certified Interior Designer exam, earning the prestigious credential 'Certified Interior Designer (C.I.D.). In 2015, I was a featured interior designer on the TV show, Design Santa Barbara.
