I had the best relationship working with the staff of By Design and specifically Interior Designer Laura Beeler. I knew from the moment I wanted to design my living room in my new home that By Design was where I would go. While growing up my mother worked with Bonita on many projects in my childhood home and they were always beautiful! I found the entire experience to be fun and enjoyable. Laura met me for a consultation to discuss my thoughts and wants for my living room. She listened to everything I expressed and although I was a little all over the board she was able to come up with exactly what I wanted; Style and Function. After coming to my home to look at the room in person and take measurements, we met again at By Design. During this meeting she showed me all the ideas she had put together from the furniture, lamps, artwork and the layout. It was for sure the most exciting part of the experience. She went as far as to advise me about paint colors that would compliment the room as well. Laura stayed on track with the budget I had shared with her and there was never any unexpected surprises that alarmed me. When all the items arrived and were delivered she was right there to help assist me in getting everything arranged and set up. Instantly my living room was transformed from boring and blah to beautiful, functional, and stylish! I can't thank Laura and Bonita enough and look forward to working with Laura again on my future...
Read moreI have been a customer of By Design for many years. Room by room they have worked with my husband and I to design pleasing, comfortable, affordable, great looking spaces.. They have wonderful service. I love to go in the store and walk all around it slowly and see what I like and then meet with a designer. The store always looks amazing and is set up as rooms so it is easy to picture the end result. There are many, many fabrics to choose from and they assist me in narrowing them down to my favorites. I have difficulty making a decision and they work with me with great patience and guide me along the process. Another great thing about purchasing at By Design, is that the room has a finished look. They will help you make the entire room look great including pictures and accessories. Before I used By Design, I would have a piece I liked but the room never had the look I wanted. I have received many compliments from my friends when they visit my home. My most recent purchase was a twin sofa sleeper. I am looking forward to its arrival in a few weeks! I would recommend this store to my friends and family as it is locally owned and they truly care about customer...
Read moreWith just a month to fully decorate a new home and the stress of an out of state move, we chose Laura Beeler at By Design to be our quarterback. I promised my wife that with this house we would seek professional help, rather than trying to do all the work ourselves. We came to By Design after searching for a local Des Moines store that fit our transitional to modern style. We relied on Laura to quickly pull together all aspects of the interior design and layout to make our new home comfy, stylish, and functional for a growing family. Laura worked really hard under a very short timeframe to coordinate floor coverings, furniture (some of which we custom ordered), window coverings, and the overall design aesthetic. We are off to a great start to establish a warm and inviting home for our move and our new adventure! Overall a positive experience with an experienced designer. Laura is a true professional and her warm personality helped guide us through this stressful time! I highly recommend Laura and By Design Furniture and Design, and will undoubtedly turn to their services again as we grow in our new...
