About
With over 20 years as a professional interior designer, I’ve completed many award‑winning projects across the Valley. Design is my true love, and each project receives the same care and attention—whether it’s a single room refresh or a full home transformation.
Your design will be tailored specifically to your needs, lifestyle, and budget. No two projects should look alike: every space I create reflects the personality and taste of the client and their family. My work has been featured on the cover of Phoenix Home & Garden multiple times, on HGTV, and in other publications and books.
I listen closely, help clarify your “end vision,” and focus on delivering a high-end look at a budget-conscious price. If you’re ready to create a space you’re proud to live in, I’d love to talk.

Searching for a decorator can be intimidating, but Georgia made me feel comfortable from day one. She really listened to how we live and what we value, ensuring that our home isn't just a showroom, but a comfortable, functional space for our family. Every piece feels hand-selected for our lifestyle. We’ve received endless compliments from guests, but more importantly, we finally feel truly at home.
Thank you Georgia, we love our new home!

My request of Georgia was to transform my home into a Japanese design and bring the outdoors into my home - meaning nature such as trees. What I will say is I love where my home is, we are still in the process but she has introduced designs I would never have been able to come up with. The lights that are being added are beautiful!! My bedroom looks more beautiful than I expected. The tile for the kitchen is amazing!! I would hire Georgia!!!

We worked with Georgia on creating a new layout for our primary bedroom, bathroom, and laundry room. We are doing an interior remodel without adding square footage and are instead reconfiguring the area we already have. It was too daunting for us to figure out on our own, and Georgia was so helpful and worked with us on the designs, plus with her added expertise, she created a functional and well designed layout. She was able to use her CAD software to get exact dimensions and heights and now we are prepared for the next step of the project. We enjoyed working with her and will continue working with her once we take the next steps!

As single working mother, I decided I needed to hire a designer to help me with my master bedroom. Georgia was the best decision I could have made. Not only is she extremely talented but also defines the word of professionalism. My bedroom is now a sanctuary I look forward to coming home too. I will definitely use her again and strongly recommend her to anyone needing a interiordesigner! N. Van Buhler

I can't say enough good things about Georgia! She exceeded my expectations.
I reached out to her to design Living space, Dining room and kitchen for my new home. Not only did she spend time discussing my budget, preferences, style- she really helped me with the timeline and ideas on how to make my home look vibrant. She went above and beyond to make me feel satisfied with the output! She really put a lot of thought into understanding my expectations. She invested a lot of her time in researching the right products for me, went shopping with me, help me choose stuff according to my taste which went with the theme. She would put in her best of efforts into any project that she takes up, big or small!
I am in love with all the pieces we shopped and having a hard time deciding my favorites!
I have worked with other designers in the past, but Georgia stands out among most of them for her perfection and the attention to detail. I highly recommend her!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Bates Interiors charges $100 per hour for the initial consultation meeting, then $95/hour for project management, implementation, and all the nitty-gritty thereafter. If a client feels more comfortable working on a flat rate basis, this too can be set up after the initial appointment to determine scope of project.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After the initial introduction call to determine the client’s general needs, a site visit is in order. Expect a thorough walk-through of your home or business, to learn more about you and your vision and goals. Then I will give you advice on achieving that vision—ideally keeping in mind your style preference, budget, and timeline.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over 20 years experience in residential Interior Design. My clients have ranged from very high-end, to smaller simpler ones. I am certified in Auto CAD 2021 and affiliated with the Scottsdale Associating of Interior Design. Many of my projects have been featured in local and national publications as well as being on HGTV shows.
