Using Eli (and entire team) at Heather Scoot Home and Design was the best decision I made while redecorating my house. I literally won't do an interior design project without consulting with them first! They have helped me over the past 5 year with EACH and EVERY room in my home. It's difficult for me to make decisions, and I always second guess my choices - so getting a professional help is a MUST.
Early in the design process, Eli gave me several beautiful options (that were different price points) and all of her selections were fantastic. This team of design rockstars has my FULL trust and confidence, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for advice on something as small as a new lamp or as large as an entire home renovation. They will learn your style, give/get feedback and make a plan that works for each individual client. When I get an email from Eli, it's "like Christmas morning" bc I get so excited to see what she has picked out. Always classic, quality pieces that add the perfect update to my interior spaces.

I worked with the amazing team at Heather Scott Home and Design to help me design our brand new downtown Austin Condo. Since this is a second home for my family I was quite nervous about doing the project from afar. Their team not only got my style immediately they worked their magic within my budget. Design was not the only thing they did well, they were there every step of the way including being on site every day to accept deliveries and set up.
When we walked in the first time it was immediately home. Many think using a designer is only for the rich with big budgets. In the end a great design team can keep you from making costly mistakes and can bring cohesiveness to your space.

I have been a client of Heather Scott Home and Design since they opened their first retail location in the Arboretum. Heather, Scott, Eli and team have always provided exceptional design suggestions, beautiful furniture and accessory options. My family has truly enjoyed all of the beautiful pieces from Heather Scott Home & Design throughout our home for many years and many more to come.

I had the opportunity to work with the team on two separate projects. Both experiences were terrific. I appreciate the team's professional approach through out the process as well as their exquisite designs. I'm grateful for the beautiful spaces they have created for my family.

I worked with Heather and her fabulous team over the past couple years as we gut renovated and decorated our home in Austin. I can't recommend her services highly enough! I would have been lost and completely overwhelmed without her there to help me pick finishes, paint colors, and at the end of the process - accessories. Our home is beautiful and a pleasure to walk into at the end of the day thanks to Heather's top notch design skills. Her entire team is friendly, polite, and extremely responsive. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone who needs decorating help. They're true professionals.
