   ~ Online Design Services Testimonials ~

I am so glad I found Heather.  Before hiring Heather, I hired another online designer to help me pick a color for my kitchen walls but it didn’t work with my kitchen cabinet color or the other colors in my kitchen. I spent weeks on the internet researching colors and spent lots of money on paint samples.  I was very confused and all of my research made it worse.  Heather sent me a very detailed, easy questionnaire to fill out and I sent her pictures of everything in my kitchen.  She put together a design board, and when I had questions about the board, she responded beautifully.  She is super helpful and I would definitely recommend her services.

Heather created a beautiful and cozy design for my living room.  I loved the design board and furniture layout.  I absolutely love the furniture and decor she chose for my space.

Liz F. – Living room design consult and furniture layout plan

I became aware of Heather’s design service through my sister, who had recently completed a bedroom makeover consult. When I complimented her on the design of the room, she told me she had contracted with Heather. Very impressed with the new decor, I decided to contact Heather for a design for a guest bedroom. Our communication was done entirely online. Her questionnaires concerning my needs and directions for room measurements were clear and easy to follow. After submitting the required information to her, she submitted her plan with design board and layout in a timely manner with clickable shopping links to where I could purchase the recommended products.

I am very pleased with Heather’s design!

Heather has been a huge help with changing my home from a blah, dark vibe to a fresh, coastal, light feel. Lately she helped me with how to arrange the flow of furniture from dining room to hall and reading room (open plan, which I had no idea where to start). Some new pieces she selected were added to pieces I still liked and it all came together and looks really great. Her choice of wall and floor color materials was spot on. Heather has helped me in the past with this open floor challenge and I am reaching out to her again to do an outdoor patio project. She is most definitely the designer you want to help with your home.  Thank you Heather! You really made a difference, we really enjoy our updated home.

Heather is amazing, she nailed the design and layout. The design worked with my request keeping certain furniture pieces and all the new pieces were reasonably priced, she even came under budget . She is very good at communicating with you and very responsive. I honestly had no clear vision of what I wanted and she was able to transform my son’s bedroom into a beautiful guest bedroom.
Heather has great style I would definitely use her again!

Heather created a beautiful and functional design for my living room. I love the design  board and furniture layout graphic she provided, it made it so easy to visualize her ideas! She provided a link to every item I needed to purchase and stayed well within my budget. Heather is creative and very detailed oriented. I would definitely contact her again!

I spent weeks searching the Internet, Pinterest, TikTok and Instagram for ideas to update my laundry room but found myself completely confused and unsure of my style. During one of my endless searches I found Heather and her website SettingforFour.com and am so glad I did! Heather was able to take bits and pieces of different styles that I liked and put it into a cohesive plan that fit my personality, style and budget! She does amazing work and just through pictures and emails she was able to design a room that both my husband and I absolutely love! The process was simple and Heather made it easy and provided links to every product we needed to renovate and decorate the room! She even helped with paint colors and flooring that would be best for hiding finger prints and dirt from children and pets! Heather is very knowledgeable and helped me make the best choices for my space and lifestyle! We hope to use Heather and her design services in the future for some larger projects and cannot wait to see what she designs!

Heather saved me from the pine box I am living in!   My husband and I became empty nesters  this past year and moved from our house of 25 years to his family’s log home on the lake.  I had been struggling with coming up with a design plan for the open concept living space as I could not get pass the yellow-orange log walls and knotty pine ceiling. I was looking for a floor plan for corner fireplaces when I found Heather’s site settingforfour and reached out to her.  I provided Heather with my photos, what I wanted for this space as well as my inspiration photos.  She was very responsive and quickly  provided me with a floor plan layout and detailed design board with an explanation of why she chose each item and  paint colors.  She created the cozy inviting space I requested under budget!  This was exactly what I needed to clear the log jam I had been struggling with.  I am currently in the process of ordering my furniture and all I have to do is click on the link Heather provided me and it takes me right to the site to place my order.  I can’t wait to brighten up the space with paint and put it all together.  I look forward to working with Heather again.  Thank you Heather!

Heather is a very creative designer. She helped me to create a beautiful, elegant and welcoming design with my dining room and entryway. She easily worked within my budget. I would definitely recommend Heather to anyone who would like to create a beautiful home. Thank you so much for making my living space so elegant and beautiful. 🤩

I am so incredibly blessed to have worked with Heather in helping me create a living space that I love.  My husband and I moved from a house with many separate rooms to an open concept townhouse.  Finding a way to integrate my furniture and various decorative pieces from a more traditional home into a more modern space was such a challenge for me.  Heather helped me see the value of making some hard decisions and I was able to purge items that no longer worked and to purchase beautiful new pieces which helped to create an elegant, serene space.  Heather was patient with me throughout my struggle and gently encouraged me to set my sights on the goal I was looking to achieve.  She was extremely responsive and quick in designing my space and provided all the links to the various items that I could easily purchase.  If you think that obtaining the services of a designer is only for people with “extra” money, you couldn’t be more wrong.  Heather is able to provide her expert help in a way that worked nicely within my modest budget.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Heather is an absolute color guru! I needed help with my living room and bedroom accent colors, furniture colors and wall color and she was able to find the perfect colors to go with my flooring and existing pieces! She explained it all clearly and helped me find the perfect items online which I’ve received and they all look amazing! Thank you Heather for creating gorgeous spaces for me- we really love our home now!

Our kitchen and breakfast nook design is absolutely gorgeous! Heather helped to design our kitchen so it was a light, bright, kid-friendly space where we can gather for meals and entertain. She also incorporated the items we wanted to keep in our kitchen and made a layout design mood board and a floor plan drawn to scale, that showed me exactly where to put all the kitchen items we already had on the counters plus the new beautiful ones she suggested. Each item she suggests comes with a shopping link to it so it totally takes out the guesswork for you, AND she worked within our budget.  I can’t wait for our friends and family to come over and see it, I LOVE it!

I just love the living room design Heather created! It’s cozy, welcoming and elegant. I cannot wait to get all the furniture and decor to put my room together. I am so pleased with the overall design and layout that Heather created. The layout floor plan graphic is well presented. It was a pleasure to work with Heather and she is a good communicator!

Heather helped to design an entryway for us that I love looking at each time I walk in. It brings me joy every time I walk through the door and look at it. She perfectly captured the colors and feel I wanted it to have. She took the elements of the space I didn’t like and turned them into this gorgeous space! She linked all the products and made a mood board as well as a floor plan so I could see exactly where to put each item and what the finished product would look like. She transformed our entryway into a  livable luxurious space that is welcoming, warm, and bright. If you are looking for an entryway design you will love coming home to each day I can’t recommend her design services enough!

Working with Heather was wonderful from start to finish! Her incredible attention to detail and precise plans have helped me to get a fresh perspective with the floor-plan and overall design of a challenging great-room and I can’t wait to dive in!

I am absolutely in LOVE with the look and feel of my family room design from Heather! She has captured perfectly the family-friendly, livable luxury look I wanted. She was wonderful to work with and I really appreciated how dedicated she was to making sure she understood exactly how I wanted the room to look and feel. She created a design board for me with pictures of each and every piece of furniture and decor so I could easily see how beautiful they would all go together in my room and she created a furniture layout graphic too that shows me exactly where to place everything in the room.  I can’t recommend her design services enough!

It was great to work with you again, Heather, and have another great design plan to execute here at home.  I waited with great anticipation for the finished product and wasn’t disappointed.   I love the design board, which gives me the overall plan at a glance, along with all the product links.  It’s all so easy and fun!

This will be the third time I have worked with Heather and I was not disappointed. She helped with my outdated open space at my FL home which contains the kitchen, den and cafe. Heather brought it up to date with new paint colors for the kitchen cabinets and walls and new tile flooring.  OMG, what a transformation!  Why stop there, her suggested great furniture pieces were just what the rooms needed.  I’m at home again. Thank you!

I loved working with Heather! I was amazed at what she came up with based just on my room measurements and answers to her questions. She worked on a space I’ve found challenging for years – she turned it into a beautiful room that exceeded my expectations.  Her process is professional and efficient – and I really appreciate all the detail that came with her recommendations.

It was a pleasure working with Heather! I am updating the facade of my house and needed directions and inspiration.  Heather was instrumental in everything from choosing the appropriate color scheme to picking out hardware and lighting fixtures.  She definitely took the time, understood what I wanted and was able to translate that to a tangible vision.

As you can tell, I am so excited about what you have put together for me.  I love it and have purchased a bunch of things already this morning.  I am really excited to get the rug and try out the paint color.  I love how detailed you have been in your recommendations.  I will be referencing your email as I pull this all together.  The instruction is so helpful!

I was hesitant to try an online decorating source, however, I’m grateful that I reached out to Heather.  The idea board that she put together for my dining room update is incredible!  She provided all of the shopping links and gave a thorough explanation of the pieces that she chose and why.  Can’t wait to put it all together! Will definitely utilize her services as I continue to update my home.

Heather was a pleasure to work with. I enjoy designing/decorating myself but she gave me ideas that I would never imagined. She pulled  the room together with a cohesive/designer look.

She provided links which I requested. Every link was like opening a Christmas present. Thank you, Heather

It was wonderful working with Heather.  I really, really love the room she put together. Up front, she asked a lot of great questions that helped us decide on the look and feel of the room and how it would best be used.  Her response time was super fast to all of my inputs and questions.  Her finished product was a work of art, pulling everything together with an organized visual and explanations for each item, as well as links to where I could purchase each one.  I love that she kept to my budget too! So easy and fun.  I look forward to working together again!

Heather came up with such great ideas! Things I never would’ve thought of on my own. She was kind and patient and listened to my every need. I will definitely be contacting her again for the next part of my house.

Mary S. – Open Concept Entryway And Living Room

What a HUGE relief it was to stumble across Setting For Four online! I was down to the last couple days before the painters were to arrive at my new out of state home. I, living in another state temporarily, had little time in the house and quickly threw up some paint samples I “thought” I might like. Then the panic hit….. Heather was able to look at the photos I had of the rooms and also took the time to look the property up on the real estate sites. In less than a day she not only put my mind at ease about a couple of the colors I had chosen and told me why they would be great in that particular room, but she also suggested paint colors that I would not have dreamed of for another room.  She was spot on. The color she suggested, I know I will love! Had I chosen it on my own, I would have doubted it, panicked and ended up with a boring color all wrong for the light in the room. Heather also looked at photos of a rug my husband insists on keeping and made suggestions on where he can put it, LOL!! It is no longer going in my master bedroom!
I now have Heather helping me choose a sofa, chairs and lighting. Her prices are so reasonable and well worth the piece of mind.

Kimberley M. – Paint Colors, Home Office, Living Room and Entry

Heather created a beautiful design for my dining room.  I have always struggled with decorating, had good intentions in my head, but could never make them come to fruition. She asked perfect questions about my likes and dislikes, what in the room was staying, things I couldn’t part with, and worked with that to create a beautiful, well designed  board for me to follow.  I now know where to buy the furniture, decor, pictures and how to put it into my room. 

The satisfaction of having a design to follow takes such a heavy burden off my shoulders. I have stopped spending countless hours on the internet, Pinterest, and other sites looking for inspiration!  Heather put it all together for me.  You have no idea how happy I am.  (my husband too).

I look forward to working with her in the future on other projects!
