Design Outside the Lines

As a real estate agent, I can honestly say that Ashli is not only personable but knowledgeable and makes working together enjoyable… I have learned so much from her direction and expertise! Both her work and experience line up speak for themselves. I 100% world recommend her to anyone looking to remodel or a full build out. Feel free to reach out if you have anymore questions about her! Truly, Shaaine Cunningha

I worked with Ashli to remodel my home and her design exceeded my expectations. She created multiple design options that she created in-house and presented them thoroughly while patiently answering all of my questions. It was clear she has exceptional knowledge of both the design and the construction industry and willingly worked with me to create a design I loved. She took her time to get to know both me and my style, making the process enjoyable while offering practical solutions to any issues that arose. She was able to take visions I had for my home and create a professional, modern, and clean space. She also took the time to walk me through the reasonings behind her design and explain in detail information regarding materials and design aspects. This was greatly appreciated with my limited knowledge of design and home materials. She also ensured the process was interactive, presenting various renderings for every room throughout the process. I get so many compliments from everyone who comes over and am thrilled with the outcome. I will definitely be working with Ashli again on any future projects.

As a first-time home builder, I was feeling overwhelmed by the number of choices/decisions involved with building a custom home. Ashli and her team to the rescue! As a very visual person, I found her detailed renderings to be highly beneficial. I find one of her greatest strengths is producing solutions to the problems that one inevitably runs into when building a home. Ashli guides you through the process and helps you to make the best decision for your project, while staying in budget. My regret is not hiring her at very beginning of our project while collaborating with the architect. I highly recommend Ashli and her team @ Design Outside the Lines.

We needed help choosing the best colors of paint and wood flooring to update our house. Ashli helped us not only with the flooring and paint but also updated the design of our kitchen. Our home went from hmmm to WOW! Absolutely everyone who came into the house after the remodel were awed by the transformation. She has as great attention to detail and worked tirelessly with us until we were satisfied with the end result. I attribute Ashli's color and design savvy in helping sell our house quickly in a tough market.

Ashli offers wonderful customer service. She is a dedicated and knowledgeable designer that keeps up to date with the market and current trends. She shows great attention to detail and thoughtfulness to all her clients no matter the budget. A true professional with a wealth or experience.

Design Outside the Lines was very professional to work with. The attention to detail and pre-construction information was what set my project above any other that I have worked on in the past 20 years. I would recommend Design Outside the Lines to any client.

Working with Ashli and her team was a great experience. Her and her team are very knowledgeable and professional. They had everything ready to go when it was needed and were very helpful. Her design definitely made the house turn out as great as it did. I am Looking forward to working with Design Outside the Lines in the future.

I just finished a remodel project with Ashli and Design Outside the Lines and couldn’t be happier. Ashli simplified and managed my project so I didn’t have to worry about coordinating a large remodel. She listened to what I wanted, created beautiful designs, hired trustworthy contractors and made accommodations if changes needed to be made. I would definitely recommend her work.

Ashli is First Class! She shows as much respect towards her contractors, as she does her clients. And in turn I believe her contractors provide a first class experience for her clients. As a contractor, this isn’t the norm, sadly. Always a pleasure working with her, and her furry pal Odette!

Completeled am awesome project with Design Outside the Lines. Very professional with very elegant, clean and refined designs. Everything was thought through thoroughly with very close attention to detail.

Our company has worked on several projects with Ashli. In addition to her impeccable design acumen, her experience in the wider construction industry as a whole ensures that her and her clients visions become a reality and, selfishly, for trades like us, that the jobs go as smoothly as possible. Highly recommended. - Tim Hosea / AZ Hardwood Floor

My wife and I never used an Interior Designer before, after researching designers in the west valley we come upon "Design Outside the Lines" and were very impressed with the projects that Ashli had completed. After meeting Ashli we were more than convinced that she understood and could fulfill our interior design vision,why, not only because she exudes professionalism and knowledge more importantly she clearly painted the outcome picture for us highlighting each and every detail including colors textures and utilization of space. After creating an initial budget in November 2017, all work was completed in a patient well thought out manner in September 2018, every contractor that were hired by Ashli: electricians, furniture assemblers, drapery and art and accessory installers were very professional,courteous and treated us and our home with dignity and respect. Ashli was clearly the team leader and visionary at each and every step. Part 1 of our project is completed now and we have received multitudes of compliments from friends, neighbors and family on our new look kitchen,dining room, family room,entry foyer,master bedroom,office and 3 guest bedrooms. Soon we will be working on part 2 and 3 of our design project and will do so without a second thought with Ashli principal owner of Design Outside the Lines.

I have worked with Ashli for several years and on multiple jobs and she has always been very professional with me and with her clients. As a Painting Contractor, I work with numerous designers and I cant say that I have worked with anyone that is more Creative or more dialed in to the needs and wants of her clients. She is well trained and very knowledgeable in the Design Field and it shows. And by the way she is also easy to work with and a very nice person!

Ashli does a fantastic job. From start to finish her follow up is spectacular. I have worked with her on a few projects now and the clients couldn't be happier. During the selection process she is focused on both the design aspect and functionality. Example: Robe hook vs. towel bar. faucet spout length, location of shower valves for optimum efficiency. It may sound trivial but as a showroom sales consultant I would have to say it's these little details that complete a project. As I have worked with her on more then 1 project. Project dates and project costs are not accurate.

Ashli did a fantastic job on our project. She was instrumental in keeping the cost of the project within our constraints. Her attention to detail is outstanding! We won't hesitate to use her again.

Ashli brings something unique to your project, detail and organization. I am always amazed at her high level of detail in her documentation of a project, which is especially helpful to keep contractors on task and organized when executing her vision. With her background in commercial interiors, she has an extensive amount of knowledge of products and materials. She uses that knowledge to offer client new and creative ideas that push the boundaries of typical design and bring a different element to a space. She has the ability to pull everything together and make it whole, which is something that I admire of her. I work with many top level interior designers but Ashli and her team really set themselves in the upper crust of talent in the valley!

My husband and I were watching our daughter's 6 month old puppy while she was on vacation. We kept him in our guest bathroom when we weren't home and he proceeded to tear the room apart! Tile, cabinets, walls, and our glass shower door. We weren't planning on remodeling anytime soon so this was a bit of a shock. When we found Ashli, I had high hopes for our unplanned remodel and boy, did she deliver! We now have a brand new guest bathroom with a modern farmhouse feel. Brick flooring, floating reclaimed cabinet with a trough sink, pendant lights, rain shower head with additional hand-held shower head, and the jewel of it all, clear barn door glass shower doors. We absolutely love it! This one room has made us rethink the rest of our house. Thank you so much Ashli! Next, the kitchen!

I can offer my highest recommendation for Ashli of Design Outside the Lines. Ashli did an outstanding job of staging my bridal shower in 2015. She has posted pictures on her website of my event, and as you will see, everything was beyond beautiful, every detail perfect. I received so many comments from people that it was the most awesome shower they had ever attended, and I was beyond pleased with the results. Then in 2016, it was baby-time. I panicked when thinking about accomplishing the nursery, and called Ashli who came to the rescue big-time! She asked many questions regarding our preferences, and designed and completely transformed the room into a truly outstanding nursery for our little girl. As you look at the before and after pictures, you may think that she must be a miracle-worker….and I’d say she definitely is! She exceeded our expectations and we could not be happier with Ashli’s services.

Ashli has been very professional yet personable. Told her how I wanted to decorate my house and she ran with it. She help me decide on what furniture, art work, etc. would look great in my house. She also helped me with color schemes for my walls. I rely on her judgement and opinions. If we don't agree on something, she finds something else without question. I will continue to hire Ashli as my interior designer because of her knowledge, skill and personality..

Ashli does wonderful work and has a great eye for detail. She can help with finding contractors, simple redecorating, or major overhauls of any space. She's a wonderful communicator, very friendly and extremely organized and thorough. We will recommend her to all of our clients in the future!

Great designer! Ashli did such a wonderful job on my living room and home office. She captured my vision and brought it to the next level which I could never design on my own. Very thorough from start to finish. Extremely knowledgable in space planning, choosing paint colors, window treatments, and furnishings. Most importantly she kept right on target with my budget! Always friendly, professional, and positive. I would highly recommend Ashli!

Had my bathroom and kitchen done. I live in the mountains and wanted to keep that theme. Kitchen wanted a craftsman, rustic look. the finished product came out better than I thought. The bathroom is small and also wanted a rustic look. The flooring was perfect and really liked the white wash in bathroom. The fixtures for both was a perfect fit. Ashli is very creative and quick to adjust to requests. I would hire DOTL again when needed. (The pictures of my house are under the Rustic Northern California project.)

Design Outside the Lines owner, Ashli Johnson, helped my boyfriend and I remodel our small condo kitchen. We had a fairly closed in layout with barely any counter space and not a single drawer. Ashli came over to visualize our wants and expand them in a direction we had never even considered! Her organization and exceptional attention to detail gave us a realistic timeline, concrete expectations, and a wide range of materials to choose from well within and even below our price range. When all was said and done, our kitchen was completed on time, under budget, and better than what we thought was even possible in our small condo space - drawers and counter space galore! She even helped us decorate our new kitchen in a way that amplified the structural design and followed our design aesthetic. Ashli is already working on some other remodeling projects for us and for my parents! I would recommend her for any job, big or small, with the utmost confidence and trust in her talent, professionalism, and ability. Thank you Ashli!

Design Outside the Lines is a design firm apart from the rest. Ashli's pure set of strong skills sets her apart in the design industry. Working with her was always exciting and eye opening.

Ashli Johnson, owner of Design Outside the Lines, came highly recommended to me by a friend who had experienced her magic. As a new homeowner, I needed cost-effective ideas that my décor could "grow into" in the coming years, creating a design flow, instead of the piecemeal self-decorating I had done in the past. Ashli listened to my concerns and ideas as we toured each room of my home, and after asking several excellent questions, she sketched many ideas for me that I still refer to today. As this was my first time utilizing the services of an interior designer, I was beyond pleased and excited about having a firm direction for the future. Whether your project is simple or complex, I highly recommend Ashli and her company.

I was opening up a fitness facility and Ashli was able to take my vision of what I wanted and make it into reality. I was so excited with the results that I then brought in a painting my mom had done and asked her to help me create accent walls via the colors in the painting. It tuned out awesome. I would recommend Ashli to anyone =)
