Sophia worked with my wife and I on two projects. The first was kitchen remodel and, a few years later, a remodel of our two bathrooms. We intend to live in this house for decades to come so it was important to us to pick a timeless design. We only want to remodel once! :) Sophia helped us to select materials and patterns that matched our classic style. In addition, she integrated shower niche tile pattern that my wife created. Sophia has great contacts with local suppliers and was able to secure some big discounts. Finally, she works with contractors who share her eye for design and pay attention to the small details.Read More

We can’t say enough about the amazing rebirth of 1920’s bungalow that Sophia redesigned!! To say that our sweet home needed an update is an understatement! With only 931 square feet to work with, she reimagined the entire space by opening up the living room wall to the kitchen, making the space look so so much bigger and inviting. The kitchen is now chic, yet does not disrespect the character of the original architecture. Now our luxury bathroom, well, it’s a dream space. Sophia was constant in the entire process. It is very evident she puts her heart and soul into a project not only because this is her bread and butter, but because this IS her passion. She gave such great advice when we requested certain concepts and made sure that each idea was brought to its best outcome. Her eye for design is impeccable and we are forever grateful that our home was elevated to a level we could have never imagined! With Sophia, you will not be disappointed!Read More

Sophia assisted me with multiple projects in my home in the Oakland Hills. Our last project was painting the exterior of our home. We reviewed approximately 15 color swatches, and paint samples on the exterior walls of the building. Sophia suggested that the new exterior color should compliment the roof tile colors and it worked out perfectly. We also changed out all the exterior light fixtures and repainted the railings on the front porch and deck. When completed the exterior of our home is beautiful. Thank you Sophia.Read More

I would have no hesitation in using her services again, and in recommending her to others.Read More

Sophia was invaluable to our kitchen remodel project. We had our initial floor plan done, however, she made an observation and suggestion that changed the flow of the room. What a difference it made! We are so grateful for her suggestion and courage to speak up when we presented our ideas. She is very well connected in her industry and in the marketplace and we appreciated her recommendations. She was available to answer questions promptly, especially color and design choices and worked really well with our contractor. She has a great eye for paint and helped us to choose colors that really worked. We have another project coming up and we will not hesitate to work with her again. We highly recommend her for her expertise, timely responses, ideas, and honest opinions.Read More

When in doubt (it was my first ever kitchen remodel) go with a Pro. Sophia is such a professional in this world of house remodels. Great design ideas, a plethora of local contacts for flooring, cabinets, counter tops, and so easy to work with. Sophia listens like friend who wants the best for you and is realistic about your budget. She also helps you get things done on time (well "remodeling time", still so many things you cannot control). A friend remarked after my kitchen was completed that it was the quickest remodel that she had witnessed. And I love my kitchen. I highly recommend working with Sophia. I won't do another remodel of anything in my house without consulting her. Thank you Sophia.Read More

I was referred to Sophia Solomon through a member of our temple. I had never worked with a designer before, but Sophia really took care of us and the results are great. We're all so happy with our new kitchen! Sophia started the process by asking us to provide images of things that we liked, which seemed to really help the process. She gave us a couple kitchen layouts to consider and worked with us on finessing the details. We absolutely love the countertop and backsplash she found for us and we're really happy with how her design has transformed our space. Sophia is super-focused on every detail and is with you every step of the project. I highly recommend her!Read More

We just had to pleasure of working with Sophia on a huge renovation! She helped us every step of the way with our completely new kitchen/ living room. We first met with her to share our vision and she came back to us with beautiful design ideas and this gorgeous vision board that we will keep. She did all the work for us and we just made the decisions and paid the bills it was really so helpful! She is as involved as you want her to be and this being our first reno, we needed all the help from finding a contractor, to every detail from flooring, cabinets (and fun inserts in them), lighting, backsplash, countertops etc etc. It all turned out amazing! Highly recommend her!Read More

I highly recommend Innovative Interiors by Sophia Solomon. Over the years we have done a ton of DIY remodeling including adding a second story. Now that we're older it was a complete luxury and pleasure to have someone as talented as Sophia come in and take charge of the remodel of our main family bathroom. She is a consummate pro with a vast knowledge and working relationship with the local industry. She kept us in the loop at all times and jumped on any problems ASAP. She respected our choices but had great alternatives for us to consider. I look forward to working with her again in the future. Mary AdairRead More

My partner and I really enjoyed working with Sophia on our Oakland kitchen-dining room remodel. We could not be happier with her services and the end result! Sophia quickly came to understand our style and design goals, and identified vendors, manufactures and materials that perfectly fit our needs - including some beautiful semi-custom cabinets that were on sale for a limited time. Even though Sophia was very busy with existing clients when we contacted her, she completed a full kitchen design with boards and a plan in time to take advantage of the cabinet sale. We really appreciate the perfect design Sophia created for us and the flexible way in which she supported us throughout the entire process. We didn’t require full project management services, but could always count on her to take on various portions of the project as needed over time. Sophia helped us identify and interview contractors and managed the cabinet and tile orders. We came to really value and rely on her timely advice on so many decisions and details - always responding in a timely manner to meet our construction schedule and work with our contractor. Sophia also suggested we tie our kitchen-dining room area together with our living room by adding a blue accent wall. We love it and wouldn't have thought of that on our own. There is no doubt that the end result was greatly improved with her involvement. We highly recommend Sophia for any of your remodeling projects. We absolutely LOVE our new kitchen and dining room! The kitchen is both functional and beautiful; everything has a place and it’s a joy to cook in. Sophia was so much fun and a pleasure to work with that we miss her now that the project is completed.Read More

I moved into a new professional office this year. The space is kind of quirky, but I thought it had good potential with the right choices of color and furnishings.

With Sophia's expertise and guidance I finally have a long-desired, remodeled, modernized and more spacious bathroom. She listened to my ideas, made comments and suggestions.

Sophia is AMAZING!! I consider myself fairly savvy for a novice, but I was completely overwhelmed when I added two bathrooms, a bedroom and dining room to my home. Sophia looked at my crazy and way-too-varied "inspiration" gallery here on Houzz and came up with a cohesive design plan that captured exactly the feel and look that I was hoping for. She's responsive, professional, enthusiastic and fun, and a true joy to work with. And she was great about staying within my budget. I can't say enough good things about Sophia. The contractors are still cleaning up odds and ends, but once the dust is clear I'll post photos of the finished products.Read More

“My husband and I worked with Sophia Solomon, Principal Interior Designer of Innovative Interiors by Sophia, to redesign and update our Oakland Hills Kitchen. One of our primary goals for this update was to be able to get the most out of our space but still highlight our beautiful view. Being able to look out at this beautiful area we live in is one of the reasons we love our home so much and keeping that as the focus was really important to us. Sophia was able to help us attain this in her design for the kitchen update and we are extremely happy with the outcome of her hard work. We are able to now sit at our new peninsula area or stand at the sink and wash dishes, while enjoying the view we love so much. It was also important to us to make the kitchen functional for our busy family of five. It was crucial for us to be able to utilize all of the space available. Sophia listened carefully and took into account all of our many details and it showed in the finished product. She was very knowledgeable about the current design options in the field and pulled a wonderful palette of material selections together for us while balancing what our family wanted in the space. We would highly recommend Sophia for any of your upcoming remodeling projects. We plan on keeping in touch with Sophia and working with her again on future design projects”.Read More

Sophia helped us with two projects. A few years back, she played an integral part in pushing us to choose our fabulous white kitchen with light green island. I hesitated with white kitchen because it's so hard to maintain. However, I'm so glad I listened to her because our kitchen is envied by neighbors and family members. Today, Sophia helped my husband picked color palette for his dental office. She was punctual, prepared, and friendly. My husband came back home with options that we wouldn't have been able to come up on our own. I'm so pleased to work with Sophia again and can't wait to see the final product.Read More

Desperate to organize my home, I asked Sophia for advice. I wasn't looking for a remodel but I knew I wasn't using my kitchen and living areas efficiently or effectively. Things were just a mess, crowded, disorganized, and it made me unhappy just to be in my house, which was rather unfortunate. It was amazing how quickly Sophia was able to size up the situation and give me a list of suggestions to reorganize my life without having to undertake a significant project. Now things are stored more efficiently, the dining room table is rotated 90 degrees, giving the room more usable space. I did buy a new mail caddy, but that means my entire materials budget was $20 and I can live with that. I try not to dwell on the time I lived in the house before Sophia came to sort me out. I only wish I had called her sooner. She also gave me great insight in to how I may want to redo my kitchen counters and has a line on a great new sink whenever I'm ready to pull the trigger. Soon! Thanks for everything. Your keen eye and sense of simplicity and functionality has improved the sense of joy I get from my house enormously!Read More

Sophia was recommended to me by two very dear friends. I had recently completed a remodel for my kitchen/dining/living space and needed help adding "jewelry" and accessories to spice it up! During my initial consult with Sophia, she walked through my downstairs space from the front courtyard to the back patio and was able to envision and share her design concepts which perfectly fit my style. She assisted in the design, selection and coordination of patio furniture which created a connected living space from inside to out. She also helped with the selection and coordination of light fixtures, lamps, pillows/throws and art! She coordinated everything around my existing furniture and color scheme. My house is now full of color and life! I love it!Read More

Sophia came in full of energy and ready to help us with our room expansion project. We thought we just needed her for finishing selections. However she immediately asked the right questions and completely changed our lighting plan. This certainly will transform the entire room. Moving into finishes, Sophia took our preferences and selected a simply wonderful color scheme. She also helped devise a plan to utilize an existing rug by adding a border, saving thousands of dollars over buying a new one. While Sophia certainly can help you select top of the line, she also has the philosophy of using what you have and working it into the design. Highly recommended to help you get the most out of your project.Read More
