Mimi Wittstruck Design

It was a pleasure working with Mimi. Mimi transformed our living room - she designed unique built-in cabinets and sourced beautiful furniture. She brought our vision to life. Mimi hired trustworthy, efficient contractors to install woodwork, glass, and wallpaper throughout our house. We look forward to working with Mimi again on future house projects!

Mimi is a very talented designer with a gifted touch in her work! She has a keen eye for design, and catches on quickly to a clients needs and tastes. I have loved working with her. She is one of the nicest and easiest design professionals I’ve had the pleasure of working with!

I loved working with Mimi! Not only are the results amazing, but the process was great. She really listened to what I had to say, made sense of all the chaos, and came back to me with very clear and cohesive recommendations. She worked within my budget, telling me where to cut and where to spend to make the most impact. She gave me (and continues to give me!) excellent advice, sometimes affirming what I think and sometimes walking me off the ledge (in the nicest way possible of course). I was really unsure about hiring someone, but in the end what she was able to do feels so ME, and yet so much better than I could've done on my own. It accomplishes exactly what I wanted to accomplish, and not having to manage all of the details of deliveries and installations made everything a breeze. I cannot thank her enough, and I hope to have another project to work with her on again really soon!

Mimi helped us furnish our living room, kitchen, and main bedroom. She is very creative and has a great eye for mixing/matching prints, patterns, and colors. We moved into a model home, and after everything was said and done, the place went from sterile to beautiful, cozy, and filled with character. She is extremely professional, communicative, and can work with a range of budgets. What I like the most is that she is on site on delivery day to ensure everything is placed perfectly and has no damage -- which took a ton of pressure off us. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Mimi and look forward to using her services for other areas of our home as well.

Mimi has been a pleasure to work with over the past year! She’s talented, prompt and professional, transparent, efficient and warm. I also really appreciated her open mindedness around the nature of our engagement. I moved from NYC to Austin in 2021 and especially needed help with deciding on placement and layout of what furniture and art I’d bring to my new home and what new pieces I’d need to source (much of which I preferred to source on my own). Many designers I reached out to were hesitant to partner with me unless they had full scale and full reign over a project (and honestly were pretty snotty / snooty about it). From the start, Mimi was open and enthusiastic to working together and she added so much value in making our house a home. She created incredibly helpful blueprints / layouts for all of the rooms in our new home (even our back patio) - including items we were bringing from NYC and dimensions for new items we’d need. She helped me select awesome wallpaper for my closet, laundry room, and accent wall behind our bar…she helped pick the most gorgeous deep navy paint color for the primary bedroom…and helped select and source beautiful window treatments that really completed the look (and she hooked me up with awesome professionals to handle the installation / execution perfectly and pretty quickly across all of those). She assisted with wall placement of my art (HUGE help, not something I could’ve intuitively done solo) and designed a gallery wall of family photos (and again brought in an incredible team to handle the installation). While I ended up sourcing most of the new furniture I needed (because that’s something I personally enjoy), I had trouble finding the perfect sectional couch. Mimi brought me to a trade-only show room where we were able to find the perfect design that exceeded my expectations - it was big enough, with a chic design and high performance fabric, delivered to my home within a couple of days, and totally within my budget (and actually a bit less expensive than options I considered from RH!). I highly recommend Mimi as a fantastic designer to partner with…no matter how big, small, or ongoing your project may be!

Mimi Wittstruck is a wonderful designer! Throughout our major home renovation project, she has been professional, kind and thoughtful as she has created a one-of-a-kind space for us. Our ideas were a little wild, but she embraced our enthusiasm with creativity and openness. She has made our new house an oasis of joy, and we are deeply grateful to have worked with her. We highly recommend her to anyone who may be considering hiring her in the future!

Over the last half a year, Mimi has been helping us with the design and furnishing of our house. She literally transformed our home from dark wood filled area to a beautiful space which we enjoy using every day. Mimi is the ultimate professional - she is knowledgeable, thoughtful, detail oriented, responsive and incredibly patient. She is an excellent listener and I am always amazed by how her suggestions match my taste so perfectly! I can be a somewhat indecisive and I love how Mimi patiently listens to me and offers her thoughts and suggestions. Mimi has designed and furnished all our bathrooms, all our bedrooms, and our living room space and every time I walk though the house, I smile because this is how much I love the outcome. In fact, I’ve just ask Mimi to take on another room. I highly recommend Mimi, I am certain you will enjoy working with her and will love living in the home she helps you design.

I'm currently in the middle of my second project with Mimi, and I could not be happier to be working with her again. When I first began looking for a designer, I went through portfolio after portfolio of work that was nice but not "me". While many other designers will use a pop of color here or there, it seemed like the foundation of the designs were all greige and after awhile each designer's work began to look like the next. Then I found Mimi's portfolio: in it was the love of color, pattern, and texture I had been hoping for. I first worked with Mimi on a studio apartment, which presented space and layout challenges. Mimi designed a Moroccan-travel-inspired (without being too on the nose) gorgeous space on a very small budget. Every time I walked into the apartment, I was so grateful to have such a beautiful space that reflected my personality to call home. I recently bought my first home, a 3/2, and knew Mimi was the ONLY designer I wanted to work with on this new project. As with the studio, Mimi listened to my vision, looked at my Pinterest, and created design boards that basically read my mind but BETTER. She worked within my budget by presenting me choices at several different price points. Again, Mimi's skill with color, pattern, and texture is allowing me to put together WOW spaces. I am incredibly grateful for Mimi's willingness to work with me again and am so excited to see the finished rooms! Even in their in-progress state, they are truly stunning, and most importantly, very much "me"!

Mimi was professional but did not shy away from the tough love which I found to be so refreshing. She was specific in her design advise giving me exact measurements for items I was going to source myself. She made my vision come to life while also being realistic with both structural and budget constraints. Highly recommend her for any project big or small.

What a pleasure to write this recommendation for Mimi. We hired Mimi after doing extensive research and hearing wonderful things about her. Here are the things I loved about working with Mimi, and we plan on doing more in the near future. We hired her to design our living room space and guest bathroom as well as design work in my office and the playroom and entranceway to the house. The first thing that struck me is how quickly she captured our needs and our styles. Then she put together detailed proposals and it felt like all of the ideas she had reflected everything we spoke about initially. In other words, she really listened and took it in. Her execution and communication were also seamless. We felt like we were in great hands and she had everything under control and she did. Another thing I love about Mimi is that she is extremely competent and professional, but she is also warm and engaged and caring and genuine. We couldn't recommend her more emphatically.

OUTSTANDING - REMARKABLE - SUPERB. In short, hire this firm and amazing designer (yesterday)!! She does remarkable work and really brought-it in every room (and conversation). She really listened and got what I wanted her to do - then she executed, superbly! Frankly the bedroom was so amazing it left me speechless. We commissioned art pieces, had couches built, had custom shelving installed, all at her behest. In every way Mimi was a consummate pro the whole time too. She did my entire (new construction) condo at the Independent in downtown ATX for a budget of around $100,000. The masterful color pallet POPS AND IS Perfect. I vetted over twenty firms, and interviewed three - she was hands above the rest (wasn't even close). Her rich textile and texture knowledge can be overlooked, but shines through in the final details and aesthetic. The whole thing sings! Thanks Mimi!! :)

Working with Mimi was incredible! We are thrilled with the design she created for our master bedroom: serene and sophisticated but with fun fabrics and accents that make it feel like home. She was the ultimate professional and a responsive communicator, which made the whole process easy and enjoyable. We worked remotely – she never saw the space and just went by room measurements that we gave her – but she was able to capture the aesthetic by considering our style, the period of our house, and our geographic region. After an in-depth phone meeting, during which she asked lots of questions to get a sense of what we wanted (remarkable, considering we ourselves didn’t know!), and what our budget was, she then used software that allowed us not only to view her design options but make comments to her and swap out individual pieces of furniture – an amazing way to see the effect of each change on the whole room and total budget. The back-and-forth was so efficient that it took little time and got us exactly what we wanted. Mimi was respectful and conscientious about what was financially possible for us and was able to order a rug and fabrics directly from manufacturers that we wouldn’t have been able to get on our own. We ended up slightly under budget for the project. I cannot recommend Mimi enough. It doesn’t matter where you live, what your style is, or how much money you spend; she’ll design something that’s perfect for you!
