Kanika Design — Local services in San Mateo

Kanika is an extremely talented designer, and I can't recommend her enough!

We bought a house in March 2020 - signed the contract days before covid stay at home orders. My husband and I then spent two years working from home together in our front room (we call it the study now) without any rhyme or reason, just putting our desks wherever they fit, because it all happened so quickly. It was awkward and ugly, cords and monitors everywhere, and not a great look for people walking in our front door. The whole time, I was thinking, "when this is done and at least one of us goes back to the office, I want to make this room into a nice space to read and relax, and also to WFH when I have to."

That's where Kanika comes in. I tried changing the place up on my own, but every choice I made seemed to make my space uglier and more awkward. It was time to hire a professional. That decision was worth every penny.

In the end, my project turned out to be slightly bigger than just one room. I enlisted Kanika's help in choosing flooring, baseboards and paint for the whole house, furniture for my entire downstairs (we were still using the old living room furniture left by the previous owners), and light fixtures throughout. She was easy to work with and understood immediately what I was going for. My study is a real showstopper now - the walls are this deep blue color that looks amazing, she designed a gorgeous custom bookshelf that makes perfect use of the space, and she picked a couch that is the perfect size, just the right color, and so comfortable. And we still managed to get a desk in there for those WFH days. Literally just the other day, I was on a Zoom with someone and thought "this room behind me is so pretty, it looks like a fake background." But it's real, and in my house! And it wouldn't have happened...

Where should I start.. The absolute amazing experience we had with Kanika design literally forced me to write a review after a very long time. When we moved to our new apartment and were looking for someone who could help us with interior design & furnish our apartment including home office. What can I say, Kanika design team were totally professional and Kanika took the challenge of understanding our design needs, listened patiently to conflicting ideas between my wife & me and delivered the results much beyond our expectations. They turned our apartment to a place where we spend our quality family time and yet manage the work from home too!

From the choice of furniture, to how we should setup our kitchen and where we should create the home office space and a space for our kid and how we should manage our limited patio space to be able to spend evenings sipping our choices of drinks...were in a word "Flawless".

Extremely happy with the work of Kanika designs and will certainly recommend them to everyone who is looking for an interior designer or to remodel their homes. Cheers Kanika and thank you for...

I was initially impressed with Kanika’s enthusiasm, communication skills and professional demeanor when I first met her at my showroom with her client. She exposed her expertise in design as she was able to design drapery treatments and specify colors and Hunter Douglas window treatments to offer to her clients.

Kanika maintains her own growing design business and I enjoy working with her on window treatment specification in collaboration with me on many projects that she has referred to me. I found that Kanika is reliable, dedicated and eternally upbeat. Her ability to help customers select window treatments and drapery design is excellent, and it is because of her excellence in this area that I am happy to work with her, and also to refer my clients to her for further design projects.

Kanika is a hardworking, top-performing customer service professional. She has my highest recommendation, and I am happy to furnish more details if you would like additional...
