Lucille Buell Interior Design

I loved working with Lucille Buell and would highly recommend her to anyone. She was a good listener who incorporated my ideas with her incredible sense of style to create a place we love. Lucille truly has a gift for interior design and is a pleasure to work with.

Lucille and her team are true professionals with a highly refined design expertise. Lucille's expertise incorporates current trends with invaluable knowledge of design history. Lucille is extremely talented at identifying each client's individual aesthetic taste and carrying that through the overall design. Her designs produce a stunning outcome while keeping in mind her clients needs and budget. I highly recommend Lucille Buell Design for any size project.

I have worked with Lucille on many occasions as a subcontractor and have found her to be not only knowledgeable but very professional. Her strong work ethic and integrity are a big plus for anyone working with her or for her. I would highly recommend her not only as a design professional but as someone to work with on design projects.

I am so lucky to have found Lucille- she is amazing! From the moment we met, I knew that we were a great fit to work together on re-decorating my home. What started out as a small project has evolved into a much bigger project as she has shown me her amazing taste and ability to transform a space. I initially wanted her help re-decorating my dining room, but as I heard her ideas and began taking some of her suggestions, we quickly moved into other rooms/spaces that needed finishing touches or a completely refreshed look. She is so pleasant to work with- patient, calm, creative, flexible and very prompt. It is obvious that she loves her profession as her enthusiasm and love of design is apparent. I love the fact that she mixes custom pieces with retail and can find great ideas across the board, depending on the budget. She is very professional and provides timely follow up and results. She handles as much or as little of the design process as desired. I like that she is a small business and provides excellent attention to her clients. I am so happy with Lucille's work and would highly recommend her!

Lucille is fantastic - she has great taste, is extremely organized, and is a pleasure to work with. We hired her to decorate our living area, bedroom, "man cave" and baby nursery in our SF home. She understood both our tastes and our budget, and her first proposal hit the nail on the head. She went to bat for us when other vendors missed the mark, and was always responsive to our requests. We worked with dozens of vendors in our year-long remodel project, and she comes out on top. Can't recommend her highly enough!

I hired Lucille to help me make all of the nitty gritty detail decision with a major remodel. I love big bursts of color -- pink, yellow, lime, electric blue, etc. -- and I when I came to Lucille with the plea to help me make all of those colors work in a single home with a wide open floor plan where every room and wall is visual to the others, she tackled the request with grace and brought my dream to life with cohesion and and elegance. In addition, I wanted to maintain the feel of my original house -- built in 1923 -- while making more modern improvements as we upgraded everything in the remodel. Lucille helped identify light fixtures, flooring options, plumbing, and more that weaved together the traditional 20's era feel with the look of today's modern. Lucille has an innate ability to visualize and implement any style beautifully and affordably.

We hired Lucille to consult with us as we plan renovations in our new home. She was wonderful to work with and helped us to scope projects in phases and gave us great ideas ranging from paint colors to a full bathroom redesign. We look forward to working with her more as we begin our projects!

We hired Lucille Buell in February 2014 as a designer-consultant to oversee the undertaking of a complete and total redesign of a home we had just purchased in Napa Valley. At the time we hired her we were still living in Minneapolis; so the duties she performed for us during the following year were both as a designer and as a project manager. The home we had purchased was 1500 sq. feet, was built in 1973, and in need of a total rebuild - floors, ceiling, electrical, plumbing, utilities, lights, etc. Lucille’s expertise was invaluable to us. She is a professional in every sense of the word. Her design skills are highly evolved. Her communication skills are excellent: she listens well and explains clearly. In a word …she is “delightful” to work with. We believe that without her help we would not have had the success and beautiful outcome that was achieved. We recommend Lucille Buell without reservation. Thank you Lucille. Linda Messenger & Bob Distad

Lucille Buell is a family friend who I have known all her life. Usually I steer away from using a friend but in this case, Lucille's temperament just told me it would work our well...and it did! Lucille is very professional, thorough and thoughtful. From her suggestions and choices, I could tell that she listened very closely to what I liked and the look I was trying to achieve. When I turned down a choice from her, she never tried to talk me into it and instead made other suggestions. The overall project was a huge success from my point of view but also from all the positive comments I receive. I would highly recommend Lucille.

I have used Lucille for several interior design projects and remodelling from shelving, pantry design and build out, redesign of rooms ( she worked with my 16 year old daughter to change her little girl pink room to her new teenage redesigned bedroom), window seats, furniture purchase and reupholster and window coverings. Lucille also helped carpet and provide lighting in my business. She is currently helping me create with a favorite piece of art a custom made carpet runner for my main stair case. Lucille is easy to work with, has a clean style with class and strong lines. She listens and advises with cooperation and skill to bring you the improvements needed within your budget.

We hired Lucille to help us envision our new master bed and bathroom and additional children's room. She was patient, encouraging, and thorough. We couldn't be happier with the results. With her help, the additions to the home feel integrated, like they were there to begin with - seamless. We highly recommend Lucille.

It is with pleasure that I write a recommendation for Lucille. We had the pleasure of having Lucille design the interiors for our home in Sun Valley Idaho. We had just completed another project in San Francisco and wanted to find someone who would truly listen to our requirements and at the same time let us know when we were getting off track, it is clearly a delicate balance. Lucille executed it with perfection. The home in Sun Valley represents the beauty of the the inside, but as important was the need to incorporate the natural beauty of the outside. This integration, to our way of thinking was done in a perfect way. In addition to her design eye, lucille was very sensitive to cost. She at ever turn made an effort to balance cost and design impact. I have worked with other designers that try to make you feel guilty for being sensitive to the bottom line, it is all part of a successful project and she executed brilliantly. DTH I would recommend her for any project large or small. You would be lucky to have her on your project. DTH
