Elle Interiors, Ellinor Ellefson

As a floorng professional, I have had the pleasure of working with Elle Interiors for the past 15 years. Interior Designers make up a good portion of our business, and, Ellinor and her team are head and shoulders above the rest! My team gets to see first hand, the care Elle Interiors takes to select materials for their clients. Ellinor is always concerned with the quality of the flooring for her customers and the right type of flooring for their project needs. I am always impressed when I get to see Elle Interiors finished projects. They always look awesome and very well thought out. Personally, I really like their design style and would recommend Ellinor, and her team at Elle Interiors, to anyone wanting quality design and a quality company.

I never could have hoped that this remodel would have turned out this amazing! The design is excellent and still amazes me every time I come home. Elle truly captured what it was I wanted. The whole process was very smooth from start to finish. I found the contractors to be true craftsmen with exceptional fit and finish in every area of the project. Elle herself was very charming and extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of the project. I found her and her staff very attentive to my questions throughout the process.

My experience with Elle Interiors was frustrating, stressful and disappointing. For the record, I have worked with multiple contractors and designers over the years as well as managed some projects myself. This was by far the worst experience I have ever had. I was told the project would be completed by the end of September. It was completed in mid-December when I took over large portions of managing the work myself. To be fair, there were some good things. The pros were that the designer's initial ideas were fresh and interesting. The staff were very hardworking and pleasant despite having too many projects and too little autonomy. The cons are many, so I will mention them in categories: project management, cost, results and accountability. Project management was abysmal if not completely lacking. I never received an overall project plan with due dates. Tasks only got completed when I repeatedly asked for estimates and asked for each element of work to be scheduled and rescheduled. Project delays were almost entirely due to neglect, not supply issues. For example, even after months of asking, light fixtures and bathroom mirrors were not ordered. To keep the project moving forward, I ended up choosing and purchasing these items myself rather than continuing to wait for a response from the company. Two months into the project I saw the first project spreadsheet. It would have spent the entire budget for about half the work. Because of cost and scheduling frustrations, I ended up having to hire my own subcontractors for the electrical work, the light fixtures, window coverings and carpeting--all work that was completed for less than half of Elle’s estimated cost and on the original schedule. Probably the most frustrating part of the project was the lack of accountability. No one took responsibility for the overall contract. When the project stalled, the designers blamed the contractors, the contractors blamed the company, and Elle refused to take responsibility for anything. When I questioned the lack of follow-up, Elle asked, "Why do you keep blaming us?" I completely understand supply chain challenges and the difficulty in getting contractors when demand is high. I do not understand when orders are not placed, availability is not checked, and there is no follow-up or oversight. In short, my experience with Elle Interiors barely rates one star. I found Elle to be arrogant and dismissive of my concerns and questions. While there is some good design talent, I would strongly recommend that you not hire this company to manage your project.

We started working with Elle Interiors in February 2020. Unfortunately, we were all faced with the pandemic for the entire project. The home turned out beautifully with many unique touches. Ellinor and her staff were very nice to work with.

Exceptional in every way. Ellinor did a full house remodel for us and it's just outstanding. She is very collaborative and gave us options + guidance, so perfect consultative approach. From an execution standpoint, there was rarely or maybe never a day when someone wasn't here working - totally impressive, and our neighbors were stunned to see the daily construction. Also somewhat shocking to me, they were on-time! Everyone who has visited our home since the remodel has just been blown away, it's truly stunning! Thank you once again Ellinor!

We initially hired Elle Interiors to redesign almost all of our home, including furniture, decorations, flooring, office built-in. After the success with that project, we then hired Elle Interiors again to remodel our kitchen which also turned out beautiful -- and was all done on time and within budget Very, very happy with the completely new look of our home and would hire her again.

Elle and her team did a beautiful job renovating our mater bathroom and our bar area in the living room. We are very pleased with the results. It was the first time I had ever worked with a designer and I enjoyed the process. Elle’s junior designer Kristi was a joy to work with as was her contractor Greg. If you want to hire a designer for your home, I can definitely recommend Elle Interiors.

Ellinor helped me with many aspects of a remodel of a home we had purchased in the Chandler area. In addition, she chose new furniture for the majority of the rooms. At the beginning, I thought this venture would be overwhelming for me. Ellinor made the entire process stress free! She was very confident and in a few of the situations, I became afraid to “step outside of the box”. Ellinor made the call very confidently and those decisions became my favorite of all of the changes made! I can’t say enough! I love my home now!

Ellinor and her team at Elle Interiors did an amazing job of transforming our kitchen and family room into a real work of art. Her design was both functional as well as attractive. She was able to integrate our needs and desires with her creative skills and eye for beauty to create an exceptionally stunning result. We are very pleased with her work and would highly recommend her!

The designer has excellent taste. Understood the direction and style we wanted and brought us beautiful high-end options to choose. The decorative touches brought the house to a perfect completion of what we envisioned of our dream house.

I contracted Ellinor to assist me with the complete remodel of an investment property that I wanted to put on the market as a sale. I had a very short time frame to complete the remodel as well as a limited budget. I can truthfully say that working with Ellinor and her expert team was an absolutely amazing experience and helped me get top dollar for my investment and sell the property in record time! Ellinor assisted me during every step of the process – from design and color selection, vendor interviews and timeline and budgeting. Even when things did not go as planned…one of the products I selected was on back order – Ellinor immediately jumped into action and helped me select alternative items. The results of working with Ellinor were absolutely phenomenal: During open house events, the feedback from prospective buyers was overwhelmingly positive and the property earned ‘best of’ in the Desert Ridge community. Most importantly, the property sold in record time and helped me achieve a return on my investment. Ellinor is classically trained in Sweden and France and is now the interior designer gem of Arizona! She is the quintessential professional and I highly recommend her for any project you may have!

I decided to remodel my kitchen and didn't even know where to begin with. I wanted to turn it from something I currently hate into something I would love and be happy to have guests around. My new space needs to be functional, beautiful and spacious. Elli carefully listened to all my concerns and desires and came up with amazing suggestions and design that I would never thought about. She is extremely easy to work with and delivers a rare combination of creative conceptualization and incredible design. I cannot wait for my kitchen to be done!!!
