Mikaila Jayne Home Interiors

I contacted Mikaila after reading all of the wonderful reviews and seeing the beautiful pictures of her work on Unilocal.Before I give you the cons, let me start with the pros. Mikaila is definitely a gifted interior designer and we loved her design plan for our home. She also made great suggestions with the current furniture we have on how to move it around so it’s more visually appealing. She also explained the importance of getting quality furniture versus build-​it-​yourself furniture. I appreciated that.
Unfortunately, we didn’t receive the 5 star Unilocal experience everyone else on here had. First of all, upon our first meeting her, we didn’t receive a warm and personable greeting. She came into our home and I didn’t get a good vibe. Secondly, we gave her our limited budget (because on her Unilocal business page she claimed she works with your budget) and she said it wasn’t enough. I know she’s right but there was nothing we could do with that. It’s called a budget for a reason. She came up with a design plan (in the same day, which we were ecstatic over) that went way over our budget.
Third, she takes forever to email! After she sent the design plan, communication with her went downhill. I sent her a couple emails and after a few days I texted her to see if she received any of my emails. She texts back saying that she’s been so busy. Fine, understandable. But when she finally emails back, she doesn’t answer all my questions.
After a week after our consultation, she was supposed to come back to do her magic. Again, I emailed and no response. It took my husband’s email for her to respond and say that she’s on vacation and will respond when she returns. Um, excuse me?! The courteous thing to do would have been to notify us that she’ll be away but will get back to us as soon as she could. That would’ve been polite.
Bottom line: she has poor communication skills.
It’s too bad, too. We wanted to have her to style our bedroom and to do renos for both bathrooms. Oh, well!
I’m actually being overly generous by giving her 3 stars, but like I said, she’s talented.

I talked to Mikaila about her designing the whole downstairs of my house. She came for a consult and pretty much nailed my taste! I am very happy about the way it’s all turning out. Mikaila is very nice and really listens to her clients. There has been little things that she tells me I can do also, like moving my couch up a few feet in my living room to separate it more from the open kitchen, that has made a TON of difference! She really knows her stuff!!! You won’t be disappointed hiring Mikaila for all your interior design needs.

I spoke to Makalia and explained that we sold our house and all the old furniture. So basically she has a blank canvas to work with. I gave her our budget to work with and she did a great job holding to it. My wife couldn’t be more happy and that was the main goal.
I would strongly recommend her services. She has a great talent in extracting your true taste.

We just completed a light remodel on our home with Mikaila’s help and could not be happier! I had a general idea of what I liked but no idea how to get there. Within an hour of meeting her, Mikaila had a vision for the entire floor plan and completed «look.» I thought we were going to have to do a major and costly renovation and knock down walls to get the open concept I wanted. She was able to come up with a plan that cost us only a fraction of what I thought we would have to spend. Mikaila sourced our new wood floor and kitchen tile, referred us to great installers, and even found someone to paint and update our kitchen cabinetry so we wouldn’t have to tear it all out. I love the furnishings and accessories she finished it with, too. I really liked having someone to narrow down the choices for me because she only showed me things that would work in my home and were within my budget. I’m so glad I called her. I was able to do SO much more with my budget using her help than I would’ve been able to on my own. I’m calling her back as soon as we have the funds to do the next project!

Coming from a person who thought they knew it all, the best decision I ever made was consult and work with Mikaila Jayne! With her expertise, she has single handedly turned our house into a home. She has a wonderful sense of decorating skills and a gift of drawing from your own personal taste. Our guest are immediately taken back by the breathtaking transformation! Mikaila is very reliable and always professional. During our interior remodel, Mikaila was available and helpful with every detail. She often thought of things that we would have never conceived. She elevates an idea from basic to brilliant. We have now moved on to the exterior of our home and are looking forward to once again working with Mikaila! Anyone that works with her, will be very pleased with the outcome of their project.

We bought a complete fixer-​upper that had a very poorly done addition. I was at a loss as how to make the home functional and look beautiful at the same time. Mikaila came over for a consultation and within an hour had come up with an entirely new idea for my kitchen and living room that gave us everything we were looking for. I was so impressed with her vision. It was so worth the money. She sent me 3D images the same day and answered all my questions. If I hadn’t called Mikaila first I would have spent tens of thousands of dollars on a remodel that I didn’t love. Before you begin any remodel, do yourself a favor and call Mikaila. You won’t be disappointed.

Our excitement of buying our first home quickly turned to absolute panic while trying to coordinate the pre move in upgrades and new furnishings etc. We wanted new everything and we wanted it to be perfect, and we also needed to stay on our budget. I had a consult with Mikaila and I explained my vision, she then came back to me with pictures and samples that I fell in love with. I could tell she listened to what I wanted and really honed in on my style. She helped me coordinate everything from wall color to new furniture, and new appliances to installation. Her rolodex of workmen covers ALL the ground. who to hire to run cables through my walls, who to clean the carpet, who to scrape the ceilings. Everything. She involved me in the major decisions and by the end I just left it up to her as I could tell that she got what we were going for. She would go over what I wanted done and then she would help me decide where my money is best spent to give the house a face lift. My home is now gorgeous and I am not in the poor house! I brought her back to do the decorating for our first Christmas in the new place and will have her back for all of the redecorating and upgrades we do in the future. Thanks Mikaila!

Mikaila did a wonderful job designing my daughter’s bedroom! I wanted to transition her bedroom from a nursery to a toddler friendly room. I was looking for someone who would get my style and be within budget, which she did. Mikaila listened very carefully to my ideas and brought them together with her talent as an interior decorator.
I would highly recommend her to do any room in your home. She was super easy to work with and very responsive. I definitely plan to have her update some of my other rooms in our home next year.

Our 1920’s craftsman home was in desperate need of some new design. My wife and I are in our 30s and wanted to keep the charm while not making the place seem like an old folk’s home!
Since we were redesigning almost every room, we really took our time finding the right designer for the job. After talking to 3 or 4 of them, it was crystal clear that Mikaila was the best of the bunch. Others would come in and start telling us to take down walls and do this & that, without even asking about our style or what we like.
Mikaila really emphasizes that your home should match your personality. She talked to us for a long time before making any suggestions. Now that the project is done — our home is perfect!
Mikaila also respects your budget. At the end of this project, she met our budget almost to the dollar and did everything she said she would.
We also hired Mikaila to design my office since the home design was such a success.
There’s no way I’d call anyone other than Mikaila for interior design.

I was a first-​time homeowner and didn’t think I could afford a designer, but Mikaila actually saved me money and helped me get a high-​end look for my new place while staying in my budget. I absolutely love my place, I get compliments all the time, and its all because of Mikaila’s incredible talent to bring someones vision to life! She is an expert at design, colors, and space usage. I could not have done it with out her as she saves you time, money and she’s a quick decision maker knowing exactly what will work and what will not. Mikaila was born to do this! I highly recommend her services! She’s brillian!

When you need a helping hand in decorating Mikaila is definitely the person to turn to! She is absolutely amazing at what she does and made my apartment from an ugly plane jane place to a fabulous and beautiful upscale apartment. She knows how to add just the right touch to any home. She is definitely my go to gal when it comes to home decorating!

trust an expert! do not diy — hiring Mikaila will save you time and money. I’ve hired her to decorate my State Farm Agency and 2 of my homes. I highly recommend all of her services! I’ve been told that I have the nicest insurance office in the area thanks to Mikaila and her team. I’d be lost without her help. I saved buckets of money. Before I buy anything for my office or home, I consult with her first. She has reasonable rates and an expert eye for color. I highly recommend this service!
