Sally Power Interiors

Sally and her team were amazing to work with and transformed our itsy bitsy vintage (out of date) condo into the relaxing, more luxurious and much more functional home that we were looking for. Sally made it super easy to make selections on everything from cabinetry to appliances to rugs on the floor. She went above and beyond accommodating my busy schedule and added every extra touch I imagined. She blended comfort and style to create a showcase unit reflecting our persnalities. Her service was unbelievable, even coming to my rescue helping coordinate and organize the contractors and subcontractors when we had a flood a few months prior to the birth of our daughter!!!
I would highly recommend Sally to anyone looking to hire a designer who really listens to her clients and delivers in every way.

Sally did the design work for my new kitchen. She was a sub to my contractor, so I did not select her. Sadly, if I had it to do again, I would not work with Sally. On the pro side, Sally knows her stuff. She is an experienced designer and has many good ideas.
On the con side, she doesn’t listen to the client and is very aggressive in pushing her ideas. I also found that her opinions on specific design elements were not always based in fact, but simply to support her ideas about what my kitchen should be like.
She also seemed to think that my need to read product reviews and select appliances based upon practical features and favorable Consumer Reports reviews was a waste of time and that the only thing that mattered was the look of the product.
My kitchen looks great and Sally had some great layout ideas I would not have come up with, and for that I’m grateful, but next time I’ll work with someone who listens more and opines a bit less.

I am a return customer (see my 2011 review). Sally helped us furnish a home in the Oakland Hills. Now she is helping us design from the foundation up a full remodel on the Peninsula. Sally’s knowledge of all things (lighting, electrical, plumbing, fixtures, floors, counters, etc. etc. etc. etc. ETC.!) is amazing. Her professionalism, communication style, ability to know the client, and excellent skill at facilitating the client’s desires (not imprinting her own program onto the client’s project) continue to impress me. We are at the beginning of a long road of design decisions but I already feel safer that Sally is on board.

I am a lighting designer and have worked on residential projects with many interior designers, including Sally Power. When it came time to remodel my own house I thought I could do the design work myself, but soon realized I needed professional help, especailly with the two bathrooms. We hired Sally Power Interiors and it was absolutely the right decision. Not a day goes by that I don’t admire my gorgeous bathrooms. There is no way I could have come up with such wonderful spaces myself. My contractors also enjoyed working with her and appreciated her very detailed plans and specifications.

Upon hearing that we were not pleased with the fixtures ordered, Sally did contact the contractor and identify the errors, falling on the sword when appropriate and arranging for changes to be made.

We have a beautifully remodeled, functional home thanks to Sally. She had great professional contacts and helped make a stressful process easier. I’ve recommended her to friends who have had equally good experiences. She’s the best person to start with if you are considering remodeling — talk to her before you consult an architect or contractor.
