Vicki Simon Interior Design

After we bought our first home, my husband and I knew that we were ready to invest in upgrading our living space. Vicki worked with us to create a clean, midcentury modern look, packing a visual punch yet well within our budget. Vicki has a keen eye for detail, an encyclopedic knowledge of design, and is an advocate for her clients. We feel so lucky to have worked with Vicki in creating a comfortable, new look for our home that reflects both our style AND the realistic needs of our every day life (1 kid + 3 cats!) If you are ready to realize your dream space, Vicki is a fantastic interior designer to work with!

We have so enjoyed working with Vicki Simon! She has hired us on multiple projects for our handcrafted pieces. Vicki has such an incredible and knowledgeable eye for design and can fit "works of art" into home. Her flair for colors and bold or reserved choices make me want to continue to learn from her and watch every project she does. We enjoy following her on Instagram and many publications to find out her next awesome idea! Vicki is a true design connoisseur. I love that she has also stayed local by using makers and builders close to home. and by either following trends or following her heart, she will always make any room delicious!!

Vicki worked with us to update the main floor of our recently built “cookie cutter” home, which is/was full of builder grade finishes. She has an excellent eye for details that seem subtle but have a large visual impact. I fully respect her artistic vision and wholly trust her designers eye. She is knowledgeable and dedicated to sourcing high quality, beautiful and unique items and finishes. Her ability to blend modern aesthetics with vintage pieces is one of her strengths. She is skilled at integrating color and texture. Vicki was able to deliver results that we love, and she was responsive and reliable to work with.

It became very apparent working with Vicki that she is extremely passionate and knowledgeable in the art of vintage home restoration. It's a joy to work with a designer that can direct a project in a clear and concise manner while still giving the artisan freedom to be creative, that's a true talent!! The end result is a stunning interior. Vicki is not afraid to embrace color and her solutions, dazzling. Her sophisticated styling is truly impressive.

Vicki helped me with room layouts and getting the overall look and feel. I was after a "Ralph Lauren Does Small Cottage" look and she knew instantly how to make that work, tying together details such as multiple chandeliers with candlesticks and creating a whole leaded glass paneled wall to separate one large space into two rooms. She definitely has "the eye" and a love for old houses like mine.

Vicki has a great creative eye and was able to adjust her recommendations to fit our budget and family needs. Everything looks great and is functional, as well. She was able to work through some unrelated snafus to keep our project on track. Her communication is very good and she has a good working relationship with vendors throughout Portland. We are thrilled with our space.

Even though we live in a different state from Vicki, she was able to understand our needs and offer excellent advice during an initial video chat, followed by an in-home visit when it was convenient for her to be here. After that, she posted ideas to Pinterest and we made decisions via phone and text. One thing I appreciated is that she is not stuck on a particular style. She worked within our constraints and budget, and we are very pleased with the results.

Pittsburgh loft-style apartment I engaged Vicki Simon to layout my new loft-like apartment in downtown Pittsburgh, PA. She not only developed a space plan to get furniture placed to advantage throughout the apartment, she also assisted in locating and purchasing lighting (the space came with almost no lighting whatsoever) that fit with my furniture and the nature of the space itself. Most importantly, though, she hung my art collection brilliantly—42 pieces of framed works on paper. She managed a visually exciting arrangement of these framed pieces that highlighted the German Expressionist prints I own yet managed to make them work with the contemporary pieces as well. The resulting arrangement spread through living room, kitchen, hallways, and both bedrooms and accomplished the astonishing—working as a large interesting pattern on wall after wall and giving each individual piece space to assert itself. This is the best arrangement of my collection that I have ever had.

My wife, Abby, and I contracted Vicki to get the interior of our 1962 John Storrs house back to the aesthetic it was meant to have. Vicki's knowledge of Mid Century Modern is vast and comprehensive. Her network of builders, suppliers and craft workers is another reason to retain her services. Our kitchen now has a distinct MCM appearance while still having modern appliances. The living room has been transformed into a beautiful showcase of incredible pieces placed in a way that is far more usable and far more livable (pun intended) Vicki changed placement of existing pieces in the dining room as well. All done with taste and knowledge of what is "correct" Abby and I are so pleased.

We hired Vicki halfway through our whole-house remodel. We were grateful that she was willing to take on our project (something we found many designers are not willing to do), and she really improved and elevated the end result!

We hired Vicki to help us on our multi phase remodel of a 1940's home. It was important to us that we work with someone who would respect the home's history and charm and yet also know how to make it work for a modern family. Vicki did not disappoint. Her ability to create clever out of the box solutions to the challenge of a historic home has made our kitchen and dining room efficient, effective and unique. Vicki incorporated vintage furniture into the design and ensured that the decisions made in the kitchen would also reference other aspects of the home (future phases). She made adjustments to the design based upon changes in the budget (increased structural costs meant less money for surface design) without impact to the overall to the look and feel. WE love color and so does Vicki, and we jumped onboard with her ideas for bold use of color, not only in our kitchen but also for our future spaces. Those that take this leap with her, will be glad they do, she is exceptional in selecting colors that suit your style and enhance the design and home. We continue to work with Vicki as we embark on additional areas of the home, and are so glad we found her.

I worked with Vicki as a photographer shooting her projects. Vicki has a highly refined style. Her work is unique and she brings a vision to her projects. One of the projects we shot was very bold and modern. It was featured by Dwell Mag!
