“Thank you so much for all of your help in making our dream house a reality for us. We would have been lost without your consultation and ideas on how to plan our home features from the beginning steps of drawing the plans up to the finishing touches that make our house feel truly unique and like a retreat. Every detail of our home from paint colors and cabinetry to flooring and countertops came together with perfection It was hard to visualize how it was all going to come together, but your vision was clear from the start and helped us make better decisions and invest in the details that truly make our home stand apart. We are so pleased with every feature of our home and truly owe you a big thank you for your professional advice and help in this project. Thank you again!”

“We are so impressed with the look of our new home. When we moved in a few months ago, our walls were white and the rooms were bare. We knew we wanted to decorate our home nicely, with professional input. We felt instantly comfortable with Amy, given her great personality and professional demeanor. She immediately went to work creating a wonderful color palette for our walls, blending the right combination to exude a sense of welcome and warmth. Wow, what a transformation! Amy continued to create room layouts, keeping in mind the needs of our young family and family pet. She completely designed our master bedroom, media room, formal dining and living room, and family room.
Amy’s ability to give honest opinions and feedback, as well as keeping the lines of communication open was refreshing. She let us know what she thought would work; always giving us a few different options and designs. We highly recommend Amy to anyone looking to work with a talented interior designer with a great personality!”

“When Amy Troute of Design for Home met with developer Patrick Kessi and myself at the building back in April, we could tell right away that she understood what 937 Condominiums was all about. She recognized that this building stood out from its competition. She also recognized that any building that is anticipating LEED platinum certification needed an eco-eclectic model home that spoke to the modern “green” design of the building. She designed a beautiful space on the 10th floor of the 16-story building in the Heart of the Pearl District. I want to personally thank Amy for her outstanding design work. Design For Home has helped us to show off a beautiful building and a well designed home.
Thank you Amy.”

“I met with Amy Troute and one of her clients regarding a problem with the manufacturing process used to make a piece of furniture. The manufacturer sent me out to assess the situation. Amy Troute went out of her way to be there during my inspection in order to ensure her client was not left alone trying to explain what was wrong. Amy’s care and attention to detail was evident. I was impressed with her knowledge of the situation and proposed solution. She went beyond the call of duty for her client.”

“After moving 6 times in the last 10 years (including 2 overseas assignments), my furnishings were either nondescript or non-existent. While I was clear on the style and colors that I wanted to incorporate, I had no clue on how to execute my dreams. Amy has done a wonderful job working with my visions while pushing me outside my creative comfort zone - and keeping a careful eye on my budget. She has great color sense and an uncanny ability to choose just the right accessory. And on top of her skills and talent, she is great fun to work with.”

“You have been wonderful to work with and we are very happy that (our contractor) suggested we contact you. The time you saved us was amazing and we loved the coordination of the colors and textures in our new kitchen. I could never in a thousand years do what you have done.”

"Amy is beyond talented, a consummate professional and anyone who hires her will be over-the-moon satisfied. For Amy, it's not about how big or small the project is, it's about the relationship. It's about working with someone who's "home is their priority." Someone who LOVES or WANTS to love their home - if that's you, hire Amy. She's got the goods and she delivers."
