Sabine's Interior Design, Inc.

My wife and I were having dinner in our dear friend’s recently remodeled kitchen, and as delicious as the dinner was, my wife and I couldn’t take our eyes away from all the beautiful functional and decorative elements of one of the most beautiful kitchens we’d ever seen. We’d long dreamed of upgrading our own 90-year-old shabby kitchen and so we found out that it was Sabine Provo who had created our friend’s dream kitchen. . . From May 2021 to August 2021 we worked closely with Sabine and her outstandingly skilled crew to transform our frumpy old kitchen into the kitchen of OUR dreams. Because she somehow manages to keep her own costs to a minimum, we were able to include the remodeling of the adjoining breakfast room, laundry room AND guest bathroom in the project at the price we’d budgeted for just the kitchen alone. We gave her our budget and somehow she managed to complete the project exactly on budget. (Any additional expenses were entirely design and appliance choices my wife and I made on our own in the course of things.) The crew Sabine assembled was uniformly great — top quality craftsman who took great pains to keep their work spaces clean, show up exactly when they said they would, and were always willing to discuss any and all issues we had in the process of doing their work. Like virtually all home remodeling projects, there were certainly a few unexpected and consequential glitches or, as Sabine puts it, a few “hiccups” along the way. But it’s not whether or not there are surprise problems to deal with that matters — what matters is having a captain at the helm of your project like Sabine who knows exactly how to manage the challenges which inevitably arise in a professional, effective and winning way. It was a matter of honor to both Sabine and her entire team to make sure that Lilly and I were 100% happy with the fruit of their labor. No detail was too small for them to fix or adjust or correct. In the beginning, when we first signed the contract to officially hire Sabine to make our kitchen dreams a reality, we shook hands professionally and agreed we all looked forward to working together. Now, quite a few months after the completion of the entirely successful project, we warmly embrace Sabine as an admired friend. We look forward to working with our wonderful new friend next summer to design and upgrade a beautiful backyard deck outside our bedroom…

Sabine has been our interior designer and a good friend for over a decade. We met through a mutual friend and we will always be grateful to him for introducing us. During Sabine’s tenure we have had two major re-doos of our condo and she has been invaluable to my husband Jack and me. She has exceptional taste, always steering us in the right direction without having to choose the most expensive item. She is also a great organizer juggling multiple teams of people with ease and keeping the interference to a minimum. It gives me great pleasure to give her my highest recommendation.

I picked Sabine out of a large list of designers and that was the best decision I could have made. Not only is she a charming, warm and intelligent person, she has exquisite taste and a superb eye for design. I had a rather large project to deal with in renovating my house and her advice was flawless and the people she hired to do the work were excellent. She's on top of everything and there's no wasted time. My house is lovely and it's all because of Sabine. I would work with her again in a heartbeat. She's a treasure.

Sabine has been a god send on our project. A consummate professional, she has exquisite taste and attention to every detail. She has helped us make great decisions on everything from furniture to architectural design. And she has a terrific network of vendors and suppliers with whom she works across a wide range of price points. She has also, and importantly, been a ton of fun to work with. We love her!

After hiring Sabine I knew right away she was going to take this project as if it were her own. Sabine was extremely efficient, tasteful in selection & wise with spacing down to every detail. My favorite part about her work ethic was the swift adaptability to new ideas and insights that came up during our search. Throughout the whole project of designing my new condo, Sabine consistently came up great new ideas that made sense for the condo & for me. Very pleased with our work together. Thank you Sabine!

Finding Sabine was crucial in helping us create the west coast condominium apartment of our dreams. We were trying to renovate, and work on the design and implementation from on the East Coast; a very hard and complicated task. It was especially important to find someone in the LA area who could handle all elements of the project, which included complete design, restoration, furnishing and fixtures, as well as design and living accessories. We looked up “Best Interior Designers in Los Angeles” and found Freshome’s list of nineteen designers dated June 1, 2016. After reviewing all of the designers’ portfolios, history and reviews, we felt Sabine seemed to be the right fit for us. We contacted her by e-mail, giving her a description of our project. She reached out to us the same day to have a more detailed conversation. By the way, what also impressed us was that she was also listed as one of the Best of Houzz - Service, 2015, 2017 and now again in 2018. She was also recommended by the Pacific Design Services at the LA Pacific Design Center, one of only 10 designers to receive that honor. After hiring her, we continued detailed conversations, e-mails and texts covering all of our requirements and budget, which was critical, since we were going to renovate bathrooms, kitchen, lighting/electrical, floors and many more design elements, down to little details like pillow shams. Sabine was able to put together a fantastic crew from the general contractor to a complete team of vendors. And on our trips to LA, took us to amazing stores to shop for tiles, fabrics, furniture, fixtures, carpets and even a stone fireplace mantel. The shopping trips were not only extremely productive, but a fun, learning experience. Her tireless detail and drive, as well as a focus on budget and monies, allowed for us to accomplish this complex task in roughly 5 months, with only three 5 day visits on our part, to pick and decide on all aspects of the project. Sabine’s taste is impeccable, extremely creative, in addition she is a complete problem solver. She is completely reliable, trustworthy and efficient. With all of this she also remains flexible to allow our taste to come through, while maintaining a high level of excellence. Oh, and Sabine is also an absolutely delightful person and a joy to work with! We are so lucky to have found Sabine. Sometimes dreams to do come true!

Seeking out Sabine’s help was the single best decision I’ve made since buying my home. I interviewed several other designers and knew from the initial consultation at my condo with Sabine that she would be the one to turn my condo into a home. From that moment and throughout the project she’s been warm and authentic. She offers her insights, yet I’ve never felt like any decisions were ever pushed onto me. I honestly feel my home reflects me, but at a level I previously hadn’t known was possible. Throughout our conversations, Sabine picked up on what elements or combinations were important to me even though I hadn’t realized them enough to verbalize directly what I wanted. Afterward, I could only say, “That is exactly what I was looking for, but only better!” I know compared to other projects Sabine has worked on that mine was not a large one. And even though I knew she had other clients she was working with at the same time, I never felt like I was anything other than her primary concern. She was always quick to follow up or reply and made it really fun to shop together or to get down on the floor and compare flooring with window treatments, wallpaper, mirror frames, etc. I can’t wait to work with her again.

We have been working with Sabine for over 6 years now. First when we moved in from Canada and more recently to remodel some key elements in the house. Sabine has been an amazing design partner: she's nice and reliable, has excellent ideas and has an outstanding team of professionals working with her. She makes our vision come true, and even more! We highly recommend Sabine to anyone who wants to enhance their lifestyle.

We have a small 1924 bungalow and needed help with our living room after tearing out the original fireplace. I thought our project would be too small for a designer, but after looking at Houzz and seeing the beautiful designs by Sabine, I contacted her. She was so gracious and enthusiastic! From the moment she walked in, I new she would be able to transform this space into the beautiful room it is today. She directed us to a place to buy the new fireplace tile and shopped with me for fabrics at the Design Center. The couch and pillows match the tile perfectly. She has attended to every detail, including rugs, drapes, and blinds. Every day when I open the front door, I smile. I am so thankful for her generous spirit and the wealth of knowledge she brings to interior design. She was very sensitive to our budget and timetable and made this project a delight! Thank you Sabine!

Sabine is professional, extremely knowledgeable and so delightful to work with! My husband and I purchased new construction. During the entire project Sabine was patient and always available to offer her expertise. Our home is modern contemporary and absolutely beautiful. We are so lucky to have Sabine and highly recommend her.

We interviewed several interior designers recommended to us by the Pacific Design Center and ultimately decided on Sabine due to her fair cost structure and similar design taste. We were glad we did because we have been working with her (on and off) for almost a year now and she has been nothing but the utmost professional, detailed, and patient interior designer to work with! It has been a pleasure working with her as she takes everything you say into consideration and is very accommodating, while also sharing her professional advice at the appropriate times.

Sabine is fabulous! Her instincts and tastes are absolutely spot on. My favorite thing about working with her is how she listens to what the client wants and works to incorporate her vision into your vision. She is patient and offers many different ideas to help guide you to make the best choices for your taste without being pushy. Her outside resources are always on time, clean, and do great work. I would highly recommend her. Delete review
