If you are looking for someone to help with redecorating or to design a new build you can not go wrong with Kim Rice Designs. Kim worked diligently with me listening to my ideas. She and Janet searched tirelessly for the perfect fabric combinations as well as furniture styles for our home. Measuring multiple times to insure the correct scale and proper placement of items, Kim did a fantastic job with sofas, chairs, tables and many other items. Kim is excellent with communication with texts, email and calls. She is very hands on and was with us during every delivery doing whatever was needed to improve our space. We are so pleased with the updating of our furnishings and proud to entertain in our home. You will be happy to work with this highly professional design firm.

Working with Kim was a rewarding experience. Kim really listened to what we wanted and then got things done in a timely manner. Because of Kim's experience, she usually presented less choices for things then more, and that was a great help for me as I don't like too many choices. She was very professional and also very easy to work with. The subcontractors she recommended were great as well. I would highly recommend Kim for any project you are considering!

R. Designs, LLC and Kim Rice assisted me in selecting exterior house paint colors and new outdoor light fixtures. Kim did a terrific job - visiting the house multiple times, meeting with me and the painters, etc. She devoted significant time to the project. I love the new look for the house - and, notably, I have had multiple neighbors tell me how much they like the way the house now looks. I wholeheartedly recommend Kim.

Been working with Kim for a couple years to re-furnish our first floor. She did a wonderful job matching woods, fabrics and colors with existing colors in the home and our original art piece. She found and arranged a unique 45 piece glass plate art arrangement that is stunning. Bedding she selected for the master and guest bedrooms are very luxurious. Her selection of custom curtains in the kitchen and the master really finish off the rooms. She is very creative in her choices and has been patient with us as we tend to sometimes need to take a minute to think about things because we don't have the vision like she does. It has been a fun and exciting journey with Kim and we would highly recommend her.

We so enjoyed working with Kim. She helped us update our entire first floor including kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, family room, living room, dining room, front hall and game area. She listened very carefully to our goals for the project and coordinated all paint and fabric colors, flooring, rugs, furniture, lamps, window treatments, art work and decor. She was very responsive to questions, provided excellent recommendations, and kept us informed as the project moved forward. Overall, she exceeded our expectations. We love with the final product and would definitely hire her again for future projects.

Long review!!
Short version: DO NOT HIRE KIM!!
I hired Kim initially for an interior paint color consult. I knew which color I loved but wanted a professional opinion on matching it to my trim and cabinets. She came over, told me the paint color I had chosen would look just fine and after chatting I hired her to help decorate my main level. Living room, dining room, breakfast nook, guest bdrm, master bdrm and turning a spare room into a closet. Her fee alone was 2k. She got her painters out to start and they initially painted the wrong color on day 1. They fixed it. She got me in touch with Amy at California closets for the bedroom/closet conversion. Amy was great! Her and I alone did my closet. Kim was never involved. Then Kim and I had our first decor meeting. She was on the right track but I didn’t love anything. Same with the second meeting. At this point I’d already purchased a sectional through West Elm but they kept pushing it out so I cancelled it. Since I didn’t love much of Kim’s options I only ordered an ottoman, area rug, sectional and mirrors from Kim. That was on 9/25. 3 wks later West Elm informs me the sectional wasn’t and couldn’t be cancelled! I immediately get with Kim to cancel the sectional order with her and she refuses. Says it’s already in production and I’d receive it around Christmas. I’m begging her for the manufacturer’s info, the order number so I could reach out but she wouldn’t help. At that time I tell her it’s not working out anyways and no longer need her services. I paid her 2k for literally 5 items! I’m able to get rid of the West Elm order and am patiently waiting for my sectional placed with Kim. Christmas passes, no word from her. I reach out and am told it’s now Feb. Still no communication and no sectional. Then it’s pushed to April. Mind you.. it was in production in OCTOBER. I finally get the other items. (That were overpriced and not worth it.) I gifted the ottoman and mirrors. I was going to work with the area rug, just waiting for the sectional! Kim finally gives me the manufacturer’s info later in April. I call and am told it didn’t start production until April 1st and could have been cancelled anytime before that and that Kim was aware of it!!! So she lied to me for 7 months. I finally get it delivered by Kim’s team in May with a huge stain! Kim says she will have it picked up and her upholstery company will put on a new piece of fabric that the manufacturer will send. Fine, at this point I’m out thousands of dollars. Sectional was 7k. I get it back from her upholstery company and it looks terrible! Pictures below. You can see the extra fabric around the edges. It’s very obvious it was altered. So now I’m having to start over and repurchase a new one. Also, the rug didn’t even match the sectional so that was gifted out as well! My whole experience was terrible and cost me THOUSANDS! FOR LITERALLY NOTHING! USE ANOTHER DESIGNER!!!!

Kim has been fantastic to work with. We were building a house from out of state with minimal knowledge of the area, people, and business. She helped us tremendously with every step. She was patient, knowledgeable, and had fantastic design skills. She decorated our entire home that we are delighted with. We are very thankful to have found Kim.

Kim has done a great job with my condo and outside patio. She listens to what you want in style and color. She will give you several options to chose from for furniture style, color, drapes, carpet, etc. If you have a question about furniture arrival, contractors or anything Kim will get back to you right away with an answer.
I highly recommend Kim for any design.
