We love Lucile. She has helped us during our remodel (Phase 1; we will definitely use her for Phase 2 as well).We cannot speak highly enough of Lucile and her services. When we first met, she listened, and quickly narrowed in on what we like and how the new space would look. She has been with us every step on designing dining and living room cabinetry, guided us through lighting, paint colors, décor, fixtures, shades. Everything.Not only did Lucile quickly grasp what we like, she took us to the next level and pointed out things we would never have thought of, and probably would never have even known about. She was a true expert who directed our attention to fewer things so we were not overwhelmed. What we ended up with surpassed anything we could have done on our own and was much better than we could have done.Working with Lucile was great. She is professional, super responsive in email and on the phone, always available. She is a fountain of knowledge and puts things together very quickly and knows where to look and where to buy. She is opinionated but also open and flexible based on our input.Lucile is also budget-minded. Not only does she pay attention to her hours and stay within our budget, she also pays attention to what she recommends to stay within our budget. We did not expect this, but she passed on her designer discounts to us saving us money so we could get better quality material than we initially thought, staying within our budget. This made a big difference.We started with a low budget and small scope in Phase 1, but expanded the scope quickly when we realized how awesome she is. We are already planning to use Lucile again for Phase 2 of our remodel.We would absolutely recommend her.Services: Dining room design

Lucile is the best interior designer I've ever worked with. She is knowledgeable, creative, and responsive. I found her through a trusted local group, and I knew from our first call that I wanted to work with her for my dream Eichler home.Lucile has a deep understanding of design principles and trends. She helped me to create a cohesive and stylish design for my home. The different rooms in my home all flow together seamlessly, and they all have a unique, stylish, and timeless feel.As is the nature of any construction project, there were a few hiccups along the way. However, Lucile went above and beyond to help correct them, even when the mistakes were not her responsibility. She was always willing to listen to my feedback, and she was always willing to work with me and my contractor to find solutions that met my needs.I wish I had hired Lucile much earlier when we started planning for the remodel. She is a true professional, and she is an artist with a great eye for design. I would highly recommend Lucile to anyone looking for an interior designer.

I have worked with Lucile Glessner on multiple home renovations and one new residential project over the past 11 years -- I keep coming back because of her amazing design advice, her deep hands-on experience, and her superb ability to recommend brands and vendors that match my unique aesthetic. Lucile's pricing is fair, especially since she is able to get discounted pricing from many vendors and design houses. The idea that she gets "kickbacks" (suggested by a lone review) is both absurd and offensive for a designer of Lucile's caliber and integrity. In my long relationship with her, I've particularly admired Lucile's commitment to continued education in sustainable design, which increasingly informs the choices I make in my home. She is a gem (and a lot of fun too)!

Lucile worked on a complete redesign of my kitchen several years ago, and compliments continue to flow from my guests. The design is creative yet functional and elements make a ‘casual saavy’ statement to this day. More recently Lucile advised on my master bath project…and wow! it looks great and maximizes use of the space. Lucile is creative, super responsive and, well, in a league of her own!

I hired her for bathroom design. She gave half-baked design which I personally had to revise with contractors on site. When I had issues finding fixtures from her preferred sources and suggested other options from other sources she abandoned the project in midst of construction. She charges high rate for her services, but obviously this is insufficient for her as it seems she gets kick-backs from her sources. In summary she is over-priced and unprofessional in my experience working with her.Service: Bathroom design

I have been working with Lucile for over 2 years on my extensive home remodel project in Palo Alto. I can honestly say that I would not have made it through this process without her! She is equal parts great designer and project manager and helped me (and my contractor!) stay on schedule during the height of the pandemic. She listens and learned my style (and budget!) so well that it often feels like she is reading my mind. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for any project.

Lucile was particularly instrumental in helping us to come up with the final layout for our bathrooms and kitchen, after we struggled for months with the design; she served as a great sounding board and helped us work through multiple subsequent decisions as well, particularly when my wife and I didn't exactly see eye to eye. She is pragmatic and adaptable to her clients' tastes and budgets, focused on function equally well as form, but she is also comfortable sharing her opinions. We very much appreciate her contemporary style and her strong relationships with her vendors, which has continued to be a great asset for us.

Lucile is a trusted colleague that I've had the pleasure to work for many years. She very passionate about her work, very knowledgeable about biophilic design and how it will benefit her clients and their environment. Lucile Glessner Interior Design thoughtfully takes into account their clients needs, their design sensibility and their budget, while creating a exciting and inviting living/work environment for those clients. Lucile and her design team are a pleasure to work with.

Lucile had been an amazing support when we remodelled our home in a more modern look & feel with a unique French touch!
Her service included finding suppliers, advising on materials, picking up the right matching colors...
We wouldn't have made it with such result without her support!

As I am a neighbor of Lucile's, I waited with anticipation to see the finished product of her own kitchen remodel. The end result of her unique design thought process surpassed any kitchen remodels that I have seen anywhere. I know that her love for her work has taken her to designer showrooms, i.e., mid-century modern, Italian and French, contributing to her talents. With some thought but little hesitation, she has suggestions for a design dilemma. When I ask her advice for which paint color to use on a wall or furniture, she offers me suggestions without overthinking, as I do. I find Lucile truly a delight to be around.

Lucile really GETS modern designs!!! It was a lot of fun working with her. We love her design ideas and suggestions. She also helped to make the material selection process ( tiles, plumbing fixtures, lighting , etc) much more enjoyable. Highly recommend her!

I worked with Lucile to renovate my Eichler house in Sunnyvale. That was my first house renovation project. I was nervous about the project but I felt comfortable after talking with Lucile. She listened and understood what I wanted. She also came up with great, unique, and classy design ideas. The house turned out great; I felt happy whenever I got home :)
I no longer live in Sunnyvale (job relocation to another different state) and miss Sunnyvale and my house!
