We have been fortunate enough to work with Linda at Schoener over a number of years and three homes. The creativity, the collaboration and the final outcome have always been excellent. This is a professional company that stands behind the products that they sell. Because they aren’t tied to just one vendor, you have access to a world of design and choices. Your home is distinctly your home—-not a duplicate of another home or a copy of a design magazine. They gently nudge when you need nudging, and they have always been correct in their advice. Highly, highly recommended!

We've worked with Schoener's Interiors for year and have had the best, most creative experiences. Their attention to detail and breadth of ideas and knowledge are unmatched. The products they carry are sourced with thoughtfulness with an eye for the unique. Going through their showroom is like a grown-up playground! Such fun!

The Schoener team has helped us with a new build, 2 remodels, and redecorating! They are the very best! Wouldn't plan any aspect of any home design without Linda and Brian!!

We recently ordered a sectional sofa. We worked with Brent Littlefield, who was extremely helpful, responsive and insightful. The bulk of our communication was through email and he even arranged for us to view fabric swatches in San Diego when we were there on vacation. He was a pleasure to work with, and the sofa was delivered about a month ahead of our expectations. Additionally, their delivery crew through First Due Movers was top-notch. All around an excellent experience through Schoener.

STANK! That is how i would describe my experience here. Imagine the scene: there I was waltzing into the store, excited as ever as I was on my way to purchase TRINKETS! Accompanying me was my sixth old brother (refer to fig.1). We were having the time of our lives, prancing and dancing whilst sniffing out TRINKETS! However the foul looking saleswomen confronted us and made it clear that me and my sixth old brother was not welcomed here! SO RUDE! My sixth old brother, already sensitive from a recent heartbreak, busted into TEARS! I informed the foul looking saleswomen that we were merely here to buy TRINKETS! Oh how I regret that confrontation... for she did a little dance and a foul smelling odor met my senses. Oh how I pity the janitor who had to clean up the scene. The rancid stench was nothing of this world. To this day, I still wonder what it was that fueled that wretched stank. Me and my sixth old brother zoomed out of there, forsaking the TRINKETS!, only merely making it out with our noses intact.

I affectionately call this the "statement piece" store as they have many super expensive and interesting statement pieces--I don't think many of the items go together all that well but on their own you can have something really striking to create a focal point of interest (good design). Otherwise there's a lot of visual noise that gets lost and you don't even notice certain items in the store (bad design). Great place to go get ideas.Reason for 3 stars? Their pricing is just bad. You can find ANYTHING they sell cheaper elsewhere, often at substantial discounts, no matter how unique the piece seems. They do NOT price match on accessories--decor or paintings included--nor do they offer any discount for in-store items which blows my mind since these are open-box display items that have been handled and touched by others and are far from new. Any other store will sell their display items for a discount (10-25% off, including the neighboring Thomasville Interiors). I also know how much Schoener is paying for wholesale prices on their pieces so to know they can't even take some money off to make a sale (and still make plenty of profit) is just bad business.Schoener "sales" prices are only select price tags where the items are obscenely expensive so even after half-off they're still crazy overpriced.

This place has really taken a nosedive from my perspective ofcourse. I was casually looking through their displays thinking about getting a dining table... they look like they have been designed with someone with absolutely no sense of color and co-ordination whatsoever I liked this store for its bold choices where they tastefully muxed different styles and still came off looking beautiful and sophisticated. But this is something else... I thought it was just one display. But nope it's throughout the store. Garish sequins and an assortment of arbitrary patterns. I don't know who their target market is now but it's not me

So I came to this store to find a new couch because I had just recently moved into a new apartment in downtown Bellevue, and I was sitting on one of the couches testing it to see how comfortable they were and to try to see how it feels after sitting on them for a while because I have a bad back and would like something that doesn’t hurt my back after sitting for a long period of time, and this woman worker wearing glasses came up to me and kicked me out for “lounging around” never once did she ask how my day was going, if there’s anything she could help me find, or anything at all. Just kicked me out as her first interaction with me. I’ve worked customer service before and that had to be the worst Customer service I’ve ever experienced. I didn’t even bother to argue or tell her I was there to shop because she just assumed I was “lounging around” so I gladly left and took my business else where and ended up finding a nice couch in urban interiors instead, and there customer service was much friendlier!

The store is beautiful and if you're looking for some high end upgrades they are great. This review is for their design services. We hired Schoener to help us design our master bathroom remodel as we were too overwhelmed and didn't want to go store to store during the pandemic. Our contractor recommended them so we reached out. We felt very disrespected and unheard. We were hoping to have someone lead us but felt like we had to lead them because they didn't get our vision/ideas. We had to have our custom barn door made twice and still did not come in correctly so we ended up without a door for now. Communication was very difficult too. We had to do hours of research scouring sites to find the fixtures we wanted because our designer wasn't interested in our style. We wish he would have told us up front he didn't want to work with us instead of getting us 2/3 into the project and then just dropping the ball. Very unprofessional-we will not recommend their designer.

Horrible customer service by this woman named ROBIN, my friend and I came in to look at wallpapers, she led us to this small room to look at what they have, when we were almost done, I almost bumped into one of their furnitures and ROBIN told me, oh you have to buy it if it breaks but she said it in a very arrogant and condescending way, I mean even my friend said she was so rude, I wouldn't want to bring my business here, my friend who's like a mom to me was so mad that she said she will also write a review, I'm so happy that we got her card because she is such a rude human being, zero customer service and was not at all warm, she's the type that she looks at you and checks what you're wearing if you could afford to go into their store and actually buy their furniture and that is my opinion of her based on my experience and interaction with her, well we could afford it but I don't want to bring my business to her or this store, such a horrible experience that I had to write about it too here on Yelp for people to read about what happened to me, i felt so horrible after that encounter with Robin, I believe Robin and this is what my parents taught me, that there is always a way to say things, but you didn't say things the way a customer wants to hear things. So disappointed with her in all aspects. I understand if that's their policy but do not say things in a rude tone and way, choose your words, Nordstrom customer service is the best, you would never hear them say that to a customer or they would use better and softer words if they did!

Friendly, remarkable staff who have deep knowledge of their lines and made a design task that I've attempted to tackle for years a pleasant and successful and painless experience. I loved the depth of bedding lines and quick turn around offered on a custom piece as I elevated my bed linens. I walked out of the showroom with beautiful pieces and a big smile. Thank you Schoener!

We purchased a new home and wanted to turn it into a dream home! We didn't want to do it on our own and needed a professional touch. There are so many pros out there but most of them were private designers who we felt did not have the class or experience we were looking for. When we walked into Schoener and saw their showroom and projects, we instantly knew they were the ones. That's when we met Brent - a brilliant interior designer worth his weight in gold! Brent is so caring and so friendly! He is always available and happy to help with whatever questions or issues we have. We met and talked about our likes and dislikes, went to measure the space. Brent then created a color palette, materials palette, and had a proposal for the furniture and pieces. He worked with us tirelessly, being extremely responsive. Making suggestions. Helping us avoid disasters while helping us realize our vision. Schoener Installers are absolute Pros! Never met more careful, more precise, friendly people who took extreme care to ensure the install of the art and furniture was perfect. They make sure the carpet was placed the inch and the artwork was hung to within 1/16 of an inch! Their customer service is out of this world! Their furniture and fabric select is the best you've ever seen. The end result is something stunning! Our friends and family are mesmerized. It feels like we wake up in a dream and luxurious hotel every single day. Scohener is top notch from start to finish. Would highly recommend them. Brent is absolutely amazing and the best! We really enjoy working with him. Schoener deliver and install team is super and amazing. They go out of their way to ensure you have a fantastic experience and that you're absolutely in love with your home...and we are!

I've been meaning to write this for a minute. Whenever I'm in the Sea area, I love stopping into this store. You never know what you'll find, but there's always a lot to look at and be inspired by. Big ticket items aside (and there are plenty), there are also so many stylish and reasonably priced smaller pieces. I especially love checking out the unique children's items they carry because finding cool stuff for kids that isn't ordinary big box store brands can be really difficult. Also, they GO OFF with holiday decor. I don't even like seasonal decor, but their art and decorations are just different. We called ahead to make an appointment and it was super clean and seemed like we were the only customers there, which made it feel less stressful with Covid. I ended up getting a really cute stuffed animal and blanket for my niece, and a Jonathan Adler candle for myself. Downside is parking at the mall, and distance from Seattle being in Bellevue, but the curated selection is worth the drive to know you're going to find something unique.
