Martinez Interiors

Kathleen was so terrific. She started with getting to know my goals, colors, style. She allowed me to have final say in everything. I just loved how we connected on everything. One of the really important interaction was if I disagreed with her suggestions she just said ok, let's not do that. She really understood what I was trying to accomplish. I so appreciated that there was no pressure or timeframe, this allowed me to take my time and accomplish the final results. I felt like I was on HGTV because when everything was ready to put together I had to leave the house and come back later for an amazing reveal. For some reason, I just was so surprised, happy, tears of joy just happened. I would highly recommend Martinez Interiors for your new project. Thank YOU Kathleen.

Kathleen Martinez is a wonderful professional. She was able to design my home on the slightest of suggestions. I am enjoying my home in comfort and happiness. My home is now what I have always wished for. She was willing to collaborate to achieve a home I am comfortable living in. I appreciate her honesty and attention to detail.

What a tremendous transformation Kathleen Martinez and her outstanding team completed on our remodel. Her design ideas and the attention to detail have made our entire downstairs living area from something I did not want anyone to see to a point of pride and joy that we show off to everyone we do see. The contactors and all of the professionals who completed the work were outstanding. Thank you for improving our quality of life.

From day 1 Kathleen was so amazing, even when we had doubts about how things were going to turn out. She would appease our fears. She guided us throughout the whole process. She dealt with the contractors and made the process so much less stressful. We would have been lost trying to do this whole house remodel without her knowledge and expert advise. Our house is so beautiful! All the furnishings she helped me choose and the ones she chose are just stunning! We will most definitely always recommend Kathleen to anyone that needs help with a remodel!!

My husband & I retired in Texas & moved o New Mexico 3 years ago. We built a home in a retirement area south of Albuquerque, called Jubilee (Los Lunas). But something was wrong. We couldn't get the main living area to "warm up" or feel "inviting." Kathleen Martinez to the rescue! After doing our research online, we decided to hire Kathleen Martinez Interiors, Kathleen really listens to your ideas and thoughts on color, texture and overall feeling that you desire for your space. She gives you lots of suggestions and ideas to accomplish your goals, all the while staying within your budget, and then she elevates those components to the most perfect scenario you could ever imagine. We are beyond thrilled with the results of our project. We walked in the front door on "reveal day" and my jaw dropped! We now love our main living area and how it ties in with the rest of our home. Kathleen Martinez is truly gifted - do not hesitate to hire her for your project no matter how big or small. She is truly amazing. Our job included: paint and wall texture in 3 areas, redesign a fireplace, add stacked stone and a mantel, add lighting and accessorize the space, rehang art work on different walls to enhance the overall look. We have recommended her to two close friends and will continue to do so. PERFECT! WE LOVE IT!

I had a wonderful experience working with Martinez Interiors. Kathleen did a fantastic job with a renovation of a property intended to rent. She has a very keen eye for design and was able to put together a plan very quickly. On top of that she was able to find contractors that were able to get the job done in shorter time than originally quoted and ON BUDGET! Communication was key through the project, and although I was not in-state she kept me up to date with photos and daily updates. She also was able to incorporate additional requests as things came to mind, or came up on the task list. Thanks to Kathleen, the investment property is up to par and above standards. Not only do I recommend Martinez Interiors, I look forward to working with you again. Kathleen is a straight-shooter and a go-getter, which this Bostonian appreciates.

It is a pleasure to work a second time in a different house with Martinez Interiors. Seven years ago we chose new hardwood flooring, furniture and accessories for a Southwestern style home, and it turned out beautifully. We started in this "new" house with a color consultation, bringing together the kitchen and den and we will continue throughout the home. As an accomplished artist, Kathleen's sense of color is superb. It's exciting to begin a new vision for this home that we will be able to enjoy for years to come.

Was looking for a Interior Designer to help us with the interior of our home. We relocated to New Mexico in 2018 and started working with another Designer, which was the biggest mistake ever! As I started researching other designers, I came across Kathleen Martinez, Martinez Interiors. I read about her company, experience, specialities, and also noted that she staged homes, worked with other designers to transform/redesign homes, and then noted she had received awards from HOUZZ several years in a row. I knew she would be a match for our needs because HOUZZ is my go-to site for ideas and inspiration. Made contact with Kathleen, she set an appointment within that week and we were off and running! She has such a fabulous sense of getting to know people and what their style is (even when I wasn't’ sure anymore) and being a great listener. The next week she was back with our idea book, information to validate the direction we wanted to go, and her recommendations on where to start. It all came together and Kathleen really knew us and what we wanted. That process started in July, work began August 12, 2019 and finished September 14, 2019 ! The entire inside of our home was completely repainted, fireplace redesigned, lighting replaced, hardware and fixtures upgraded, along with beautiful decorating. It was everything we could have ever wanted and it definitely feels like us! Kathleen has a team of expert painters, contractors and other professionals that have the same work ethics, vision and high standards that she has, and it shows on the final product. Kathleen keeps track and manages every aspect of the project resulting in quality work and time lines met. We feel so blessed to have been able to work with Kathleen and I am already working on a list for Phase 2 !

Kathleen has a real talent that allows her to get to know her clients and then guide the project to fit what the client will like. She was spot on!!

Prior to closing on my new house, I first met with Kathleen about bringing in a crew to clean the house after it closed. After it closed and the cleaning crews did a great job cleaning the house, I decided to change the paint colors in areas other than the bedrooms and bathrooms as well as replace flooring in the living room and entry. With only ~4 days to come up with a design, Kathleen started with a paint scheme which was a great start but after 4 days of working with each other, we had a design that sounded great but in reality it was WOW when it was complete. Besides the paint and the flooring, Kathleen placed all my furnishings as well as brought in some other furnishings that really complemented what I already have. Martinez Interiors and the sub-contractors used were professional, handled changes well and the end results are beyond anything I could have possibly done myself. Costs were about what I figured including the costs for the additional furnishings that I did choose to keep and the quality is very good.

In November, we contracted Kathleen assist with remodeling our fireplace. Of course, we wanted to project completed before the Christmas Holidays. Not only did she find a contractor to do the work, she also searched for the perfect stacked stone to coordinate with our decor. She brought us samples to review, which was time saving for us. The fireplace looks absolutely beautiful. It is the focal point of the entire home. When the project was completed, she suggested she do a make-over on the entire room. I really couldn’t see how she could change much as the room is limited in size. Boy, was I wrong! All through separate rooms, she staged the living, dining and den. She re-arranged the furniture and added a few finishing touches. Voila! Our entire living area looked totally different, bringing to me tears. The end result was stunning!

I am amazed by the office space Martinez Interiors designed for me. Each of the people in my office has a space that not only reflects their personal likes, but is functional and beautiful. Even though each office and restroom is unique, and we each have a different style, she was able to tie it all together into one cohesive space. She also found us very reliable contractors and cost effective solutions. I will use her exclusively on future projects! I welcome anyone who is considering her to stop by and look at my space.

Kathleen viewed my space and listened to what my preferences were. She worked WITH me rather than telling me what I should have. We redecorated my living and dining space and I feel it reflects me perfectly!

Kathleen Martinez has improved our quality of life tremendously. A bathroom that was blah is now a beautiful room. Bedroom carpet that had outlived its usefulness was replaced by a heated tile floor - so appreciated at this time of year. And our living room which had never been curated is now a well appointed and colorful space that has just the right things in the right places. Plus - her team is working on a gazebo and a pergola for a newly installed hot tub in our back yard. Plus she artfully arranged the furniture in my mom's two rooms in her assisted living facility. I've attached two photos of that project.

Kathleen Martinez has done a number of decorating projects for us, ranging from simple paint selection to complete room makeovers that included paint, flooring, countertops, furniture and accessories. She incorporated some of our favorite original pieces, rearranging the room layout and reframing/rematting pictures and paintings. Upon completion of the project, furniture, paintings and accessories were placed with great attention to detail. Kathleen has a great eye for color and accessories and is very able to visualize and convey the picture of the completed room. At the same time, she worked with our ideas and style and did not impose her own style. She did a lot of the pre-shopping for us and then took us to make the final choices. She has a great number of resources for materials and contractors. Throughout the project, she was in almost daily contact and frequently on site. She treated us as if we were her only client at the moment, even though we knew she was working on several other projects at the same time. We are very pleased with the results and, after seeing our rooms, several friends have expressed an interest in utilizing her services.

Kathleen is a great designer. Her use of colors is original and very creative. She can build wonderful designs within any budget. Kathleen's excess to quality products ranging from cabinets, granite countertops, fixtures, sinks, carpet, tile , wood and window coverings makes selection easy and simple.

Kathleen is a true professional with an artist's eye. Her advice and contractor connections were most helpful, the work was completed on time, and the result is something that fits quite well with who we are and how we live in our home. Best of all, Kathleen was VERY patient with us and understanding of our unique circumstances. I have attached photos that show how the new floors tie into the existing light colored ceramic tile floor (they replaced Berber-style carpeting).

My husband and I were extremely hesitant to hire an Interior designer, but considering the volume of product available we were completely overwhelmed. I interviewed many and decided we needed a much more personal touch. Someone who would take the time to understand us, our likes and dislikes, our taste. We choose kmframemasters and were extremely delighted. She came asking questions. What were really looking to do, what rooms we were unhappy with, what were we looking to replace if anything. I major requirement was to take out the wall to wall carpet and replace it with some kind of tile. She bought suggestions and samples to the house and we were allowed to keep them to move them around to see how it best it in our home. She came with a large dose of integrity. Made sure we understood that there were lots of choices and took us to showrooms to make sure we got what we wanted. She aimed to please in everything, never pushed any product off on us. She was extremely knowledgeable about the products, which products worked well together and which didn’t. Her suggestions were right on. The project was completed within our budget and have subsequently secured her services for other projects. She is a people person who fit right into the program.

Kathleen was readily available when we need some changes made to our office and came up with creative solutions for Companion Care. Thanks Kathleen.
