Manning Design Group

Leizle Gabisan★★★★★13 years ago

We had Manning Design Group create two different spaces for us – our open layout living/dining area and our entry foyer. Jana helped elevate our newly built "builder grade" home to a whole other level. Our five year old niece once asked her mother how long we have had our "hotel". Our living area is an open floor plan that includes our kitchen and dining room. Jana's input on space planning and layout were critical elements in defining these areas, while still maintaining a seamless transition between them. In addition to the design component, Jana has a great practical knowledge that goes far beyond furniture selection and layout; our home did not come built with a fireplace, but Jana planned and executed a beautiful retro-fitted gas fireplace that has become the centerpiece of our living room. In our entry foyer, we wanted something that deviated from our usual tendency towards neutral brown and cream tones, but wouldn't be too far removed from our aesthetic. Jana created a beautiful space, rich in color and texture, that perfectly complemented the few fixtures and furniture we had in the space already. Also notable are the individuals Jana is able to assemble for the actual installation of various design elements; they have all been professional, reliable and highly skilled.

Fred and I embarked on a year+ long journey with Jana to transform our townhome. Our first experience working with a designer, Jana truly set the bar high. By the end of the journey, every single room flowed into the next with harmonious beauty, with every inch carefully optimized and thoughtfully created. Jana dedicated time (especially in the beginning) to not only understanding our style but also our functional needs for each area. Through our words, she brought life to the vision of what we wanted to come home to each and every day. We love our space so much more now, and our friends are in awe of how drastically stunning our place has become. What we were most impressed with about Jana was her ability to pull together interesting textures and colors, but still applying our desire for clean and simple style. The end result was what I like to call “Sophisticated Luxe”...the inspiration we were going for. Jana was such a pleasure to work with, we love her personality and respect her expertise. The pictures posted do not do justice to the space (as I am not a very good photographer!) but I tried to capture the serenity and magnificence that she brought to our home.
