We take great pride in our work and strive to deliver an exceptional experience for our clients....
Years ago, the Director of the Office for Worship for the Diocese of Orange referred me to Jan Turcotte of Turcotte Interiors for a renovation project at our parish. The project was the replacement of the glass windows in our Church. What a great referral Jan turned out to be!
Jan was very instrumental with the project. Her expertise, knowledge, experience and collaboration have been key to the success of the project. She has given sound advice and guidance and worked very well with the project team members from the parish (including myself).
​
The new liturgical designed colored glass windows have been a three-phase project that has very much enhanced the beauty of the Church building.
​
It has been a great experience working with Jan.

“We moved into a 1940 colonial house in a historic neighborhood about ten years ago. We wanted to keep the vintage look of the home, so when we bought the house we purchased the area rugs and window coverings from the previous owner and kept the same color scheme in the downstairs living area (living room, dining room, kitchen and sunroom). After ten years we realized the space was dark and dated and sorely in need of an update. That’s when we found Jan. She listened to what we wanted to do … make our décor more modern, and brighter, without losing the vintage look of a historic home. She did a fabulous job: Presented us with options for rugs and window coverings; selected colors that brightened up our rooms; and selected wall paper for our kitchen, dining room and mud room that made the rooms pop. The end product is amazing … we couldn’t be more pleased.”

I’ve worked with Jan on several home projects over the years, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly thoughtful, organized, and truly listens to your ideas and preferences. One of the things I admire most is how she never imposes her own tastes—instead, she helps bring out your personal style in a way that’s both beautiful and cohesive.
​
Jan helped us with a wide range of design decisions, including flooring throughout the house, window treatments,
paint colors, artwork, and bathroom remodels. Her attention to detail is unmatched—nothing slips bathroom remodels. Her attention to detail is unmatched—nothing slips through the cracks, and she keeps everything on schedule without ever making the process feel rushed.
​
She’s also wonderfully creative and open-minded. For example, in our downstairs powder room, we went with something more elegant, while in the guest bath, she helped me realize I wanted a more whimsical, playful look.
She has a knack for thinking outside the box while still keeping things practical and tailored to your space.
Jan is a true professional with an eye for design and a gift for collaboration. If you’re looking for someone who’s reliable, creative, and a joy to work with, she’s the one!

As the Director of Development for Shorecliffs Golf Course and Clubhouse Construction, I recommended Jan at Turcotte Interiors LLC to be engaged for Design guidance, because I had worked with Jan in the past and was very satisfied with her performance.
​
Jan always kept our original goals in mind, and guided us through the finer points of design that we never would have considered on our own. We never felt pushed or directed, but rather supported, and we ended up with a product that we truly love. The project would have never come together like it has without her skill and attention to detail. Jan never imposed her vision on us, but rather listened and guided us with expertise and class. We appreciate Jan’s willingness to provide counsel that kept us from making common mistakes.

As a career Real Estate Professional for over 30 years, I’ve seen a lot of changes in the industry. Most important is that 94% of buyers view a home online before ever deciding to see it. A home that is styled and staged is not an option anymore it’s a necessity, if the sellers want to receive maximum exposure leading to a top dollar sale.
Jan of Turcotte Interiors understands staging completely. She brings her knowledge of color, proportion and style to every staging job that she does. I know without a doubt my home will shine above the competition online with her talented eye.
Jan is a good listener and understands that a home needs to reflect the occupant. In my case that almost always means editing and augmentation. She’s an expert at what she does but doesn’t come in like a steamroller and take over. The end result is always a home that is still livable and comfortable that my sellers often say they’ve fallen in love with their home again and want to stay!
Ultimately a successful interior designer is a collaboration of designer expertise while listening to the needs of the customer. This is exactly the case when I hired Jan to help me design a color scheme for my own newly remodeled master bathroom. I knew I wanted two different blues, and Jan’s method of bringing oversize color samples really created the visual that made the final selection easy. This is just one of the things that sets Jan Above the Rest in her field. That and a true sense of caring for all her customers puts Jan in a league of her own.

We had the pleasure of working with Jan on a total renovation of a very dated condominium we purchased. We have worked with decorators in the past. Even among professional designers Jan stands out as extraordinarily skilled.
She's an excellent listener and communicator who worked with our ideas and overall project goals. Jan made suggestions that challenged our traditional way of looking at how we decorate. Never directive and always walking us through choices and options led us to realize how the most subtle change can make such a powerful impact. She fully understood our vision taking it from an idea to reality. She was with us at every step of our project; selecting colors, materials, and watching that our ideas and choices were properly integrated. Our trust in her ideas produced a look that was better than we could have hoped for. Our home became both beautiful and functional, beyond what we could have ever imagined with our budget.
Most importantly, Jan never let us make a mistake. Her guidance saved us from costly decorating errors.
Last but not least, Jan was an absolute delight with whom to work. We can say that she became more than our decorator, she became a friend. We could not recommend anyone more highly then Jan Turcotte.

Jan transformed my home. She listened to what my expectations were and fulfilled every detail. Her color sense is amazing. Added to her wonderful talents as a designer and her willingness to help.
​
I needed her to take a look at some colors my painter had done and was unsure if they were right. She was there in an instant. There is no doubt she made my home a beautiful place. 10 stars!

Like many couples, my husband and I disagree on style, color, scale and placement of items in our home.
We struggled with updating our home’s dated 1990’s decor as a result and kept putting it off. We needed the
help of a design professional and Jan has been a godsend. Jan listens to both of our ideas on what we want
and helps to bridge the differences.
Our home has very challenging lighting and Jan’s keen eye has helped us get the colors right, which has not been an easy task. Jan is personable, easy to work with, very professional and willing to explain why certain choices are better than others. Her skills in design have really helped my husband because he has a hard time visualizing results; and have helped me because I have a tendency to under scale items.
Jan offers solutions that work within our budget, and helps craft a cohesive flow to our home as we continue our updating efforts. We have been very happy working with Jan and pleased with our results. I highly recommend Jan
for your design project.

In the summer of 2011 St. Joseph Catholic Church in Placentia enhanced its worship space by refurbishing the pews, installing new kneelers, pew racks, flooring and lighting. Jan Turcotte was recommended to assist us in choosing the color design for the Church. Our worship space has been exceedingly augmented by the colors suggested by Jan Turcotte. The colors selected for our Church from the carpet to the paint convey both warmth and welcome.
Jan was easy and pleasant to interface with. She far exceeded expectations and paid attention to details. She began by asking me as the pastor of the Church what I wanted to convey to those who would be gathering for worship and prayer. She explained why the colors and design of the carpet were suggested and what was being communicated to the individual through them. In any type of future interior design work I will request the services of Jan Turcotte.
