Testimonials About Barbara

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!

Amy D., Phoenix, AZ

My skill set doesn’t include any of those required to envision a beautiful and gracious home.  I want to open the door, walk in and have it be me and done.  How to get there, well, there was the rub!  I didn’t even know my colors, never even thought about them.   This is not to say that I was lazy and disinterested in everything.  I have my reason to be and I feel very comfortable in my role on the planet.  I just didn’t know at that time that I had any crossover skills.  Barbara was able to get me to focus, gently and lovingly, and to become interested in selecting fabrics and tasks of that sort.  Ultimately, all of the choices were mine and my husband’s.  I understand why I made each and everyone and I love it all.  Barbara’s gentle guidance opened me up to this new world that I tip toed in until I became comfortable.  Barbara was the “wind beneath my wings.”

Susan Y., Phoenix, AZ

Barbara Kaplan is a gifted and caring interior designer – for my home, and for me, personally. She helps nurture and empower a sense of purpose, which in turn, becomes reflected in the personal style and living spaces. She ALWAYS brings a fresh and unique perspective. Barbara’s Picks gives me a “go to” directory of her years of trusted relationships. It’s a joyous and optimistic experience working with Barbara, and if she trusts and recommends a business, I totally trust it as well!

Lisa G.,Urbandale, IA

I just want to tell you how impressed I am with your talent, patience, sense of humor, professionalism, and ability to turn out fabulous projects. Your clients are lucky to have you!

Elaine W.

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! 

Claudia W. 

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

I believe that one of the biggest truths in life is that change is constant. When Barbara works with you, she is an amazing source to guide you to make those changes positive, whether you are changing your home, your personal life or your business.

Ruth U., Scottsdale, AZ

Barbara helped us create a home environment that is truly a reflection of our lifestyle. She took us through a process in which we were able to refine our ideas and implement them with confidence.

Ricki & Ralph P., 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.

Barbara designed our house several years ago, and really understood our needs and personality. She has a fantastic sense of color, and was a pleasure to work with. We continue to enjoy her work, as it is part of our daily atmosphere.

Orna A., Scottsdale, AZ
