Reviews of Frances Herrera - Fort Lauderdale Interior Design (Interior Designer)

positive team member

An absolute joy to work with - she designed a new living space for us in our new home in Wilton Manors. She took the time to get to know us, our various styles, and proposed a design that was perfect. She delivered on time and well within budget.

It's too bad because I thought she was really thorough, however she needs to be chased. Frances says often that she is really good at what she does, but she needs a communications & reliability course ASAP. She used to cancel several times on me. We even booked her for a speaking engagement and she canceled 1 HOUR before she was supposed to speak. Plus we promoted her. That takes some balls with a room filled with 250 people. Then we had another meeting and she brought a friend with her. Who knows WHY she was there. Maybe to talk her up. But it was odd and completely unprofessional. She REALLY talked her up. People don't forget that flakiness. In terms of her design, she has vision, BUT...the cost of chasing her, her canceling on you, the unreliability, the flakiness ...the value gets lost. She recently did our sons room and it was expensive for a kids room. She came totally disheveled like she was phoning it in. She was missing parts, like the bedding and the accessories (in a small room). She ran out to target to get minimal things and gave us the bill. I could have done that. We called her, no answer. We email her, it takes days to respond. Her "Dayzine" approach certainly takes more than a day. Pictures were hung crooked, we had to have a handy man come back to redo. We were not told about a HUGE component of the room (Smoothing out a knock down wall and a 3 days process) until AFTER we signed and she was at our place. For the amount we spent on the room, the value was NOT there and we could have done half of it ourselves. Oh...and on the install day, all the trucks and guys were there ready to unload and she was late. Didn't bother to get there ahead of time and be professional. I had to chase her

Frances was initially hired to design and decorate a bedroom and bathroom. Her designs were so spectacular that she ended up redesigning about 80% of the house. This included hardwood floors, painting, lighting. Frances is stylish and creative. I look forward to working with her on future phases....

Working with Frances was a pleasure and privilege, as she is so incredibly talented. Her unique sense of style is chic, sophisticated and oozes her own brand of personal warmth. She transformed my new apartment into the high-end, luxurious, feminine, classic home I always dreamed of. Her attention to detail is impeccable. Every aspect of design and placement was taken care of. She made the entire process easy while attending to my anxiety-prone personality with grace! Nothing more delightful than working with someone who makes things beautiful while putting others at ease. I would highly recommend Frances Hererra to anyone looking for a designer who really listens to her clients and understands them — and who delivers exceptional results in every way. Catherine

Frances Herrera was excellent from star to finish. She transformed our master bedroom and it is spectacular. We choose the very first design she presented and the install was flawless. We highly recommend Frances Herrera.

Frances Herrera....as a designer and professional, she is a gem!! We came from a very traditional condo into a modern "today" looking building....some of my pieces worked...but not many!!….Frances was able to find pieces that complimented what we had....and bringing our home up to date with wonderful furniture, fabrics and accessories! We didn't want totally modern.. ..just a more eclectic look and she nailed it!!!...and she's very good working with your budget! Hoping not to move again...but if we do, Frances will be our first call!

Frances Herrera is one of the most talented interior designer I have had the pleasure of working with. I engaged her to design five different rooms (all but a guest room or two) in my new condo. Everyone who’s seen the space has remarked on the elegance of the design. I selected Frances after reviewing dozens of interior designers on Houzz in my area and the photographs of her past work were unrivaled. She did not disappoint. The finished design lives up to the intended theme and I’m so pleased with the space and the process she put in place to manage expectations and timelines. I would highly recommend.

I used Frances to complete the unfinished rooms in my house, as well as re-do completely my family room. I knew the look I was going for, but wasn't sure how to accomplish it. Frances came in and transformed my family room in to a light, comfortable, beautiful space to spend time in. The rest of the house came out beautiful as well. She kept the pieces I wanted and added new pieces to complete the look I was going for, while staying within my budget. She even moved several existing pieces of art work to different locations in the house , where they worked better. Frances gave me different options with the products she picked to make sure that I really liked the final result. I AM SO HAPPY with how the house turned out. It exceeded my expectations! I just love coming home to my pretty house. I would highly recommend her.

Frances Herrera is one of the best designers in the business. She has an amazing talent to choose the prefect pieces for every room while staying true to your vision. Her attention to detail, creative energy and elegant style made it fun, comfortable and stress free leaving my project in her very capable hands. I also referred her to a friend who was extremely satisfied with her design for his multi million dollar home. If you want to take your interior design to the next level while exceeding all your expectations, Call Frances Herrera Interior Design today.

If I can give her a 0 I would . She’s very Unprofessional I let her in my home and she did very disturbing things . Even sent my husband flirting messages (which he showed me) . Right after doing a terrible job and going against everything I said I did and didn’t want to do.

To us the most disappointing experience is when someone does a great job once.. and then seems to lose their energy and care once they have you as a repeat client. This happened to us. After killing it with an earlier project, we hired Francis again. We love the "Dayzine" make-over concept which is efficient, creative, and offers good value. NOT this time! The project dragged on.. having to chase her. The budget kept creeping up and up (Hint: make sure you lay out in writing what YOU have to pay for her quotes are NOT "turn-key"). AND ultimately she was really not present in the design and execution phases. Worst of all.. when the project was still not done... we just had to cut our losses and ask for refund for the unfinished work. This was just a kid's bedroom... not a major design overhall and we were underwhelmed throughout the process. Giving her the benefit of a doubt we did bring our concerns to her attention and offer her a chance to win back a regular client. Her answer.. was dismissive and unsympathetic: She texted us: "The room does look great and I think I achieved your goals on budget. .. I appreciate your candidness.. " Sounds to us like she doesn't need or care about repeat business .. which is good because we can no longer recommend her. Very disappointing.
