Testimonials About Barbara

Barbara Kaplan is not only a visionary in her approach to interior design but an inspiration to those to who know her personally. I am fortunate and grateful to be the recipient of Barbara’s generosity, kindness, and wisdom. Her love of her career, family, and friends resonate in all she does and her passion for life is very contagious. Barbara is a true inspiration!

I took The Bajaro Method Interior Design Preference Profile online and for the first time, it made me think about my home and my preferences. This process made me understand that my space is my sanctuary. The questions helped me learn more about my likes, dislikes, and what makes me feel comfortable. It made me consider choices outside my normal “box” of ideas. Based on the results, I plan to add more color and some items that are soothing that reflect my personality.

Michell B., Scottsdale, AZ

When we decided we wanted to remodel our home, all was well and good.  The problem was I had no idea where to start, what was next, how to do any of it.  Fortunately, my dear friend, Barbara was an expert in virtually everything I needed to know from the smallest detail to the grandest plan.  If I dreamt it, she could manifest it.  Things that might have flitted through my mind on a semi-creative day, which in my life was exceedingly rare, in hers, constant, were taken very seriously.  This odious project which I had feared became a joy when Barbara and I did it together.

Susan Y., Phoenix, AZ

Barbara was a godsend for my family.  She helped me totally remodel my home and it is so much nicer than I could have hoped for. Barbara made it easy to select furniture.  I went to the furniture store four times and found nothing.  Then, I went with Barbara and found all my new furniture at one time, and it’s amazing!  I wanted purple; she found me purple sofas and beautiful area rugs. She also planned out a redesign for my whole house that is open, functional and beautiful.  I love my whole space, from the bathroom through the kitchen. The tile, flooring, color of the walls and kitchen layout; all make me feel comfortable and peaceful, in my home.  It’s upbeat and fits my personality.  It really beats the old stuff that I couldn’t stand to look at, anymore. If you want a fantastic space and a real “at home” feeling, employ Barbara and enjoy the whole process! 

Michell B., Scottsdale, AZ

Having Barbara teach me about my palette of colors has truly been life changing! I used to feel uncomfortable in my house, but not know why. Now, with a few changes of color, I feel at peace. Knowing my colors I can also now walk into a store and find the exact color that will look good on me. I cannot express enough gratitude to Barbara for this education!

Amanda T., President of Moxie Girl, Phoenix AZ

What a fun date with Barbara! Barb wanted us to go to Pier 1 and a few other stores to spice up my home and who would think that it would be exciting and fun?! As Barb motored through the store she selected items for my home knowing where it could be placed and if it would work! She knew my home better than I did from only seeing it one time! Wow!! Even more remarkable is when these items were delivered, they all looked outstanding in my home, making my house even more enjoyable to me! Barb has a great eye and a picture perfect memory. What an amazing woman! Anyone decorating should have the “BARBARA EXPERIENCE!”

Marilynn A.

Just wanted to let you know how much your words, both personally and in your book, have helped me to make my home “my space.”  Your words gave me the permission I needed to be myself and to decorate with the knowledge that I couldn’t make a mistake in my personal space if I am true to myself.  I now have a home that I am proud of and that reflects the inner me.  My guests and family comment on how comfortable they are in the rooms; how aesthetically pleasing the room is with the light, personal items, and furniture.  The rooms flow better, appear connected, and please the eye from every angle.  Thank you again for the guidance you provided.

Yvonne R.

I have had this book for a while, but I finally picked it up as I was trying to make some choices for a new house I’m moving into. I have been conflicted with my own personal style for a long time now. The questions stimulated me to really dig into what I wanted! It is more than a design book; it’s a book to help you find yourself and create a living space that is suited just for YOU!!!! GET THIS BOOK!

Camille O.G.

Through the years, our relationship had shown me that there is a huge difference between a decorator and a “Design Counselor.” With your expertise, I’ve learned that change is not only healthy but can be very exciting.  Your guidance in re-creating our master bedroom suite was invaluable and the room has become “our dream come true.” The transformation is incredible, exquisite, and extremely functional.  Even more exciting, the entire process was an enjoyable one with you by my side.  Thanks for just being you. You’re amazing!!!

Lynn R.

When I called Barbara, I had hoped she could help with a small redecorating project.  I had no idea she’d open my eyes to a world of color and design.  She gave me the confidence to explore my tastes and ultimately to create surroundings that reflect who I am.  Together, we transformed my space so I truly feel more at home in my home. Barbara is so much more than just an interior designer. Over the years, she’s helped me transform rooms by doing nothing more than rearranging furniture and my imagination. She’s helped me re-envision my office, create comfort in my surroundings, and gain confidence in my unique style. I can’t wait to see what she helps me with next!
