CLIENT STORIES
The Experience Behind Every Home
The most meaningful measure of our work isn't found in awards or publications — it's in the relationships we build and the lives we help transform. Hear directly from clients who entrusted Adam Schiff with creating homes that are as personal as they are timeless.
My husband and I were thrilled to purchase and furnish our new home in Arizona, but at first the process felt overwhelming. Our builder’s interior design consultant recommended Adam Schiff for our design needs, and we couldn’t be happier with that recommendation.
From our very first conversation, Adam’s passion, creativity, and warm, approachable demeanor immediately put us at ease. He truly listened to our needs and, while keeping our personal style in mind, developed a thoughtful and organized plan. He encouraged us to step outside our comfort zone in the most supportive and productive way, resulting in a space that feels both beautifully designed and deeply personal.
Throughout the project, Adam has coordinated every detail — from arranging electricians to enhance our lighting to sourcing furniture through his extensive network. Even though we live on the opposite coast, he has made it easy for us to furnish and style our home remotely, giving us complete confidence that everything is handled with care.
We couldn’t be more pleased with the stunning interior that has come together. It’s colorful yet calming, and most importantly, it feels like us. We would enthusiastically recommend Adam’s services to our friends and family.

Adam was a joy to work with. He helped me select and coordinate beautiful tile and fixtures for my remodeled master bath, which involved replacing the existing shower with a barrier-free shower for accessibility. All the materials came in on time and he worked well with my contractor. I couldn’t be happier with how the finished project turned out.

Adam is immensely talented in an area where many modern designers fall short — color. I see so much white and beige in interior design today, which had me wondering whether color theory is still taught in design school or whether most designers are simply lacking in skill or just playing it safe. Adam, however, embraces design with color as well as design with shape and texture.
He is not afraid to take on challenging assignments with respect to color, and he achieves stellar results that seem to effortlessly work together. I’m not talking about safe, predictable color pairings — we used unique combinations that achieved the very specific feelings I wanted to reflect in each room. He is also particularly skilled at lighting design, which mattered greatly to me having studied color and light myself. I highly recommend Adam for design projects.

Adam is completely focused on making his clients happy. He doesn’t ever lose his patience or judge what you decide to do. Adam brought us to the trade-only showrooms to shop based upon our tastes. We had so much fun shopping with him! Adam did a great job following up on shipments and assisted in furniture placement when the majority of our furniture arrived.

I’ve worked with Adam for about six-plus years now and I know that he takes the time to care about clients. He is attentive to every detail. You will not just be hiring a decorator — you will hire the BEST person for YOUR needs. Do not pass up a chance to give Adam a chance to hear your needs and wants and make them all come alive!

Adam has become more like family rather than just a designer and friend. He is easy to work with and anticipates your needs before you do. He is always willing to talk through anything with you and steers you in the right direction. He is with you every step of the way and takes a lot of pressure off of you. We are going to have the most amazing retirement home thanks in large part to Adam!

Some magic happened when we found Adam on Houzz. We were looking for someone to dream with us and make that dream come true as we build our retirement home. His design sense and use of color — we knew — would stretch us in the best of ways.
Our home has been delayed in building due to stress in the supply chain, and Adam has been with us through every design selection, wonderful at helping us keep to a budget and spend money where it matters most. He sources fabulous furniture and brings us a short list to choose from, and when we don’t see what we want, he simply goes back to work.
You’ll hire Adam for his design aesthetic, and you’ll keep him not just because he’s talented, but because he’s a great human you really enjoy spending time with.

I’ve been working with Adam for the past six months on remodeling and furnishing our new home, and am so pleased to have found him. Adam is extremely professional and has an amazing eye for design. He’s gone above and beyond to create a design that’s new, fresh, and unique just for us.
Adam always follows up and makes sure the project stays on track. I really appreciate how detail-oriented he is, and he’s so responsive and patient — an absolute pleasure to work with.

Adam is an AMAZING interior designer! From drab to fab, he has brought his innovative and creative designs to the desert, creating rooms that are colorful with expression. Not a decorator, but a designer who makes each room unique, comfortable, and livable — inside and out. I highly recommend Adam as your new favorite interior designer!
Kim Nathanson
Adam did an amazing job listening to my needs and communicating throughout the entire process. He was great in creating a vision that fit my style, and I was pleased with the items selected and his openness to guide what worked best for my space. He gave me ideas I wouldn’t have considered and I loved how everything came together.

Adam is everything you want in a designer. With a proven track record in the industry, he is extremely knowledgeable about the full range of furnishings, wall coverings, flooring, fabrics, paint, and lighting. He is versatile with both interior and exterior design, so there’s no need to hire a different consultant for your outdoor spaces.
The only thing that could surpass his expertise is his personality. He’s fun, honest, responsible, and has an incredible work ethic. His excellent communication means you won’t be left in the dark — he responds promptly with clear information.
