The designer who stays in the room.
Most design firms hand you off after the first meeting. You sign on with a principal, then spend the next six months working with whoever is available. That is not how Diane works.
When you hire Diane Nelson Interiors, you get Diane. In the room. At the tile showroom. On the phone with your contractor. Every decision, every detail, from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.
After 20 years designing homes across southeastern Wisconsin, Diane has built relationships with the cabinet shops, tile suppliers, electricians, and builders who make projects run on time and on budget. Those relationships mean your project benefits from a network that took two decades to build.

Installation
On-site through completion. Every tile, fixture, and finish placed exactly as designed.
Diane handled everything. I showed her my Pinterest board, she told me what would actually work in my kitchen, and she dealt with the contractors so I did not have to. The kitchen came in on budget and I love walking into it every morning.
