Please see my photo above (white sofa, peach chairs).



After numerous attempts at trying to give my mom's somewhat "dated" living room the Wow Factor, I went online to find a professional to take over this task. This is when I found Terry, and boy am I pleased! She came in, sent mom away for the day and brought some much needed life into the home. Mom was so pleased and cannot just walk by the room without stopping to look at it.



We are so pleased with Terry's work and will definitely be using her again. She gave us ideas that we would have never thought about. She is also very fun to work with. I personally had so much fun shopping with her. You cannot lose by hiring her for your interior makeover.

I had Terri Wise come to my home for a consultation and was so very pleased with her service. She appreciates a bargain, as I do, and so I felt very at ease with her suggestions and recommendations. She was extremely helpful with paint color choices and had referrals for any services provider that might be needed.

I would highly recommend Terri to any homewoner that is planning to decorate or re-decorate their home!

Terri has a natural-born talent for turning a house into a home.



I have worked with her on a number of small to large projects in the past ten years. I hired Terri to stage a home to sell (using what I had), decorate my child's bedroom, create a wall of family photos, choose interior and exterior colors for new (historic) home, and partner with architect and contractor on a bathroom remodel. We are now collaborating on furnishing a second mid century home.

Pics are before and after pics of exterior paint selection on historic home and of seating area (and interior paint selection) in living room. The exterior colors were chosen to fit the period of the home and to be complimentary of neighboring homes and environment. The interior shot is one of three spaces she created in a large (20x40) living room. Not seen is office/library space and children's play area. The play area was situated to not be seen when entering the home.



Terri has an eye for space, style and color. She knows what I like and want and can manage a budget. I highly recommend Terri.

Terri is a genius, and I have worked with her probably 5 times now. I first met her when I was staging a house to sell. It looked so good after she did it, I dropped a jaw when I saw it. Wow. I had to remind myself why I was leaving. No kidding, she transformed the place, and she did it using my existing stuff. Her very reasonable price well paid for itself -- I had a full price offer within 2 weeks of listing in an extremely difficult market.



Plenty of designers have an eye for design, she has more than that. She excels at using stuff you already have to work miracles. She might suggest you get a lamp, plant, and/or pillows to help realize her vision, but she'll never try to persuade you to spend a lot of money on new furnishings.



If you DO want new stuff, she will help with that too. She has coached me on purchases where I felt unsure of color or design. She will also shop on your behalf and find treasures for you.



Another thing Terri brings is fun. You might call her glamorous, so when I first met her I wondered if she'd be stiff or formal. Not at all. She's a native San Diegan, a cool local gal who has a lot of heart, very down to earth. She enjoys what she does and it shows. She's smart and energetic and she knows how to pull a house (or a room) together. Love her.



Whether you want a new feel to your home using the furnishings you already have, or whether you want all new stuff, Terri delivers. I have never been a natural at interior design, and I am so glad I found Terri. Ten thousand thumbs up for Interior Makeovers.

Working with Terri at Interior Makeovers was a great experience. We have worked with many designers over the years to help with our residences and office buildings and she is the best. The thing that impressed us most is that she listens to the needs and desires of the customer and YOUR tastes, not someone else's. Terri is very professional and friendly and great to work with and uses her time on your project very efficiently. She wants YOU to be happy and just love your surroundings. We throughly enjoyed the entire process and in the end, we also made a good friend.

Terri was just what I needed. I struggled for a year trying to change my home from white to warm. I finally contacted Terri and she was more than I could have hoped for. Terri is warm and attentive. She listened to all my likes and dislikes and didn't tell me to pitch everything and start over. She understood what I was trying to achieve and helped me to see that I had a lot of what I already needed throughout other rooms in my home. By simply walking into a room Terri sees the big picture immediately. She suggested re-arranging furniture to give the room an open feeling and used what I already had in my house as my decorations. She sat down with me and selected paint colors with me that turned a contractor white home into a warm and welcoming refuge. Along the way she taught me how to use height in a room and to soften the lines within others. She gave me a suggestion list of things I could purchase if I wanted to and then came back later to hang my pictures and stage my home. Terri is a girl's best friend! I can't wait to get back to my home everyday!!!!!!!!! Thank You Terri.......You are a treasure.

We wanted to tell you thank you so much for helping us! Your ideas have really helped us get started on putting our home together! Thanks again for all the inspiration and we will send pictures as we go!

Terri came in , looked around, asked some questions , then listened to my concerns , & my needs. She made suggestions re. many of my paintings...& showed me how much better they looked hung lower or in a different place. She asked permission to move my sofa , a chair ,& a table... it was hard to watch, I am so.o glad I let her do what she did! My room is much more inviting, so much richer look & FEELS better to me now! She made several other small adjustments & I was totally impressed w. what a huge difference was created by adding a plant or two , moving a baskrt or a vase! An absolutely AWESOME transformation !!! I highly reccomend this gorgeous lady & her magical gift of design. Jene

Terri went above and beyond the call of duty, transforming my home using my own existing pieces. My friends and family were amazed at how she changed the look of our home.

I've used Teri several times, and will continue to do so. She is very talented and isn't the typical decorator who walks in and tells you that all your furniture has to go, that everything has to be perfect, or that form trumps function. I especially enjoy her appreciation for family heirlooms, treasured finds from your travels or your husband's "Man Chair"! She can make any space work, is patient and willing to help with the smallest project or a complete rennovation. You will not be disappointed!

My husband and I waited many years to hire an interior decorator because we thought it was something only wealthy people did. Terri was the third company I called and I knew right away that we would hire her. I left her a message and that day alone I received three phone calls following up on my message. We set up an appointment for her to come to our house and we couldn't have been happier. We had several projects that we were working on and she was able to provide us with a list of referrals to different companies that provided the services we needed, such as flooring and furniture. Like Terri, the people/companies she referred provided competitive pricing and were extremely helpful. She really focuses on using your existing decor by moving around furniture and adding lighting to spruce up a room. She never pressures or makes you feel like you have to purchase anything to redecorate your house. Moreover, I actually saved money by taking advantage of her discounts with vendors and she helped us transform our house into a cozy home. As an added bonus, Terri is truly one of the nicest people you'll ever meet.



I highly recommend this company.
