Decor Coach

I was in the midst of planning a bathroom renovation and realized I needed help pulling the whole design plan together. As a busy professional, I wanted someone who could take my vision and help me narrow down the options so that my contractor had direction on finishes and planning. Jodi at the Decor Coach was a great resource for me! In only 2 hours, she not only helped me choose light fixtures, shower design, cabinets, tile, counters, etc., she also gave me some cost saving suggestions. Her knowledge in design enabled us to cover details that I hadn't even thought of yet. She took my preferences into account to have choice, but not too many choices, and used her expertise to narrow it down and give me options. It was a relief to have someone assist me in these decisions and Jodi was also not afraid to tell me when she really felt something would not work, or was a waste of money. She also took into account the age and style of the home and the resale values in the neighborhood as well as how long I plan to remain in the house as part of the plan. It was a great experience and I highly recommend the Decor Coach!

I have used Jodi's services several times and I always find her inspirational and very helpful. Her ideas are on the mark and prevent costly mistakes. She is wonderful to work with and I highly recommend her for small or large projects.

I scheduled my first session with Jodi and she was fantastic! I needed help with selecting paint colors and flooring. She came in and asked all the right questions to get a feel of what our style and preferences were. She offered much needed expert advice. I’m not creative at all and she gave me so many suggestions that I would have never thought of on my own. At the end of the session I had an organized list of paint colors and a chronological list of things to do that I would have never been able to come up with on my own. She provided a list of recommended contractors, handymen and painters. Jodi has also been very helpful since our first visit with email correspondence and return trips to our home. I’ve been able to move forward with our home updates and projects because of her.

We found The Decor Coach while searching for an interior designer in Apex. Dozens of 5 star reviews caught our eye, but the coaching service and flat rate pricing on the website got us to reach out. Just one coaching session saved us hours of frustration and potentially thousands of dollars in well-intentioned mistakes… Within 3 hours we had selected a luxury vinyl plank floor, a color palate for the entire house and next steps for our kitchen and 3 bathrooms (oh, and how to bring our floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace into this century) . She gave us tips on how to properly use paint samples to verify our color choices, select light fixtures, areas rugs, and other accessories. The final thing she provided, though, is worth her consulting price just on its own: contact information for skilled craftsmen of all trades that she has worked with and trusts. She takes no commissions or kick-backs for these referrals because she wants them to be the highest quality at the best price with no bias. Jodi is professional, approachable, experienced, and passionate about helping people. She put our family first, identified our style and provided a holistic strategy for focusing our budget on the highest impact improvements. It has been an empowering experience and we will use Decor Coach at every phase of our home improvements from now on.

Jodi came highly recommended by a friend. She is awesome! I do not consider myself someone who has an eye for design, and really need help with everything from colors to furniture layouts to staying within a design style to arranging shelves etc. I met with Jodi for almost three hours, and she gave me so many great suggestions for how to update our home. Some of them were as simple as move these picture frames and add a vase and voila, your shelf looks amazing. Some of them will completely transform our space. We are most excited about the plans for our kitchen, which we have wanted to change since moving in but just haven't known what to do. With Jodi's help, we are confident that our kitchen will be both updated and timeless, and we can even keep the granite counter tops that we were sure wouldn't work with anything. Jodi didn't try to sell me on huge purchases that we couldn't afford, but instead found a way to work with what we have. I like that she offers short follow up sessions, too, so that I can ask her opinion or get additional guidance. Highly, highly recommend Jodi!

Outstanding! My husband and I highly recommend Jodi. Jodi was friendly, professional, and offered more in knowledge and service than I could ever have hoped for. I'd been intimidated by the cost of using a decorator, but we were struggling with a number of issues in our home and felt we didn't have a choice. When I found Jodi and looked at her website, I was intrigued. When we talked, I knew she was exactly what we were looking for. We took advantage of the time we had with her and have already applied so much that we learned from her. Jodi teaches you how to look at and understand your space like a designer would. Her service has been invaluable and I highly recommend her.

Jodi did an amazing job answering our questions and helping us make a plan for renovations in every room of our house. We were unsure what we would get out of having her come see us, but after her 3 hour visit we had fresh ideas all of the way down to color schemes to pull each room together and truly make our house an inviting home.

Joke was extremely professional and helped me come up with a solid plan to navigate a master bathroom remodel. I plan to use her again for future projects and wished I had utilized her on previous projects.

I hired Jodi to help lighten and brighten my very dark family room and kitchen. She had great ideas on how I could rearrange the furniture, change paint colors, and add additional furniture, accessories and lamps to bring the room together. I really like doing my own decorating, and this was so much more cost effective than using a full-service designer that would have wanted to replace everything in my rooms. I'm more than half way through the plan, and I already love the improvements! I've gotten so many complements. I will be using Jodi for future projects.

Jodi is absolutely wonderful. Her vision and creativity were just what we needed to get started making sense of our hodge podge of furniture and lack of design. She picked up on our sense of style perfectly and suggested the most perfect solutions. Everything from paint, furniture, wall decor, rugs, fabric swatches, mantle organizations etc. She also directs you right where to get the items you need or recommends the right resources for those jobs that may require a more skilled hand. I couldn't be happier & we're very excited to make this house a home thanks to Jodi!

Jodi helped with a variety of design and decorating challenges in my home. She assisted with paint color selection for my entire home as well as furniture layout and ideas for new furniture pieces. After leaving I had a notebook full of ideas and resources as well as paint choices. She also was quick to offer suggestions for an additional room color choice when I contacted her a few days later. Highly recommend Jodi!

If, like me, you have thought about hiring a professional decorator but have been hesitant or intimidated, look no further! I hired Jodi to help me design a home office/piano room in what is a disaster of a living room (aka catchall/junk room) and to freshen up a bedroom and family room. Being unable to visualize things and having made many mistakes in the past, I did not know how to move forward and was stuck in the same place. Jodi was highly recommended as a 'decor coach' who guides you through the process and helps you make design decisions you can implement yourself on your own timetable and within your own budget. She identified my style and tastes and created a road map for me to follow that included paint colors and suggestions and ideas for decor, furniture, furniture arrangement, window treatments, etc., explaining things along the way. She made suggestions about places to shop locally and online and things to consider in making choices. Jodi is very easy to talk to and work with and I felt no pressure whatsoever to go beyond what I was ready to do. Decorating was always a chore before but the process has become great fun!
