Blythe Interiors — Local services in San Diego

I hired Jen to design our first floor. The process was stressful from start to finish. We experienced several setbacks that delayed our project approximately 2+ months. During our project, Jen had a family matter that she had to tend to, she was due to have a baby, she was in the middle of a residential move, she was working on business changes (expanding offices and staff, etc.) In addition, Jen's painter was unlicensed so I had to interview other painters that delayed the process even further. I felt constant pressure to get the project completed timely because Jen was due to leave for maternity leave. I felt Jen was not 100% committed to our project because she had too many things going on personally which she admitted. At one point, Jen wanted to hand me off to a designer she had just hired due to all of the reasons mentioned above. Clearly, I was not happy about it because I entered into a contract with Jen, not another designer. We were very understanding, helpful and accommodating throughout the whole process. We always treated Jen with the utmost respect regardless of the situation. We generously tipped her vendors, gave gift cards to her staff and even sent Jen a baby gift. We also bought lunch for her whole crew on install day, which we did not have to do! We were great clients. Jen has very high-end clients; my job was small compared to others. All clients should be treated equally regardless of job size or total cost of his or her project. Lastly, I find Blythe's billing to be questionable. I do not believe providing receipts to clients is a standard at Blythe. However, I did request to see my receipts because I wanted to confirm that I was paying for "actual", not "projected" costs for services and goods. Tiffany in billing was very pleasant to work with. Thank you, Tiffany. My receipts revealed a few discrepancies including a $1K+ discrepancy in their favor. It was resolved. I would not have known had I not requested the receipts. I also found that the person who shopped for my goods at World Market purchased a soft drink on my tab. I paid it. It is not a big deal but it is the principle. On a positive note, our project was finally completed. On to Phase 2! I look forward to working with a different company and designer because Blythe has proven to be a bad fit for me. A client's needs should be a priority, they should feel valued and respected, but unfortunately, that was not the case here. Clients keep businesses...

Calling Blythe Interiors turned out to be a great decision. I'm working on a very small, DIY kitchen remodel and realized I may be in over my head. I needed a professional with kitchen design and space-planning experience as well as one with creative interior design expertise. Jessi came out to my home and was convivial and a great listener. She made practical and thoughtful suggestions and gave alternatives to items I was ready to splurge on that would've had a not-so-impactful result. I now feel confident in my design choices and have finally decided on a color direction for pricy appliances. I appreciate Jessi's input and will definitely consider using Jessi and Blythe for future projects or just when I really need to make a pivotal choice. The two-hour consultation was perfect for my needs and the cost was worth every penny. Don't let their IG feed sway you into thinking that Blythe represents a specific design style. I consider my design aesthetic to be Maximalist, Olde World style with a hint of irreverence and Jessi "got it" straight away. Thank you all at Blythe for servicing smaller...

Love, love, love Blythe Interiors! From calling to set up a consultation (Kurt was fantastic & asked me just enough questions to pair me with my perfect designer) through staging two homes, they’ve been instrumental & have done amazing work. Both designers that I’ve worked with (Jen & Jessi) have done a great job. They have such talent in making a home feel “put together.” Jessi has helped with my new, ongoing project. She is so patient, creative & talented! When I get stuck, she always has a new idea! She is very available, gets right back to me if I ask her opinion & always makes me feel like she is invested in my project. She really “gets” the feeling I’m trying to create & is expert at subtle suggestions while always considering my ideas. I feel that every dollar I spend for her advice is absolutely worth it, as I cannot make my home look half as good without her assistance and expert eye. I’m so thankful & would definitely recommend Blythe Interiors to anyone needing...
