“I had the pleasure of working with Maria and Paul when I decided to renovate my home. They helped me choose my colors to paint my brick/stucco home and shutters. She was always ready to offer advice on other changes that we did to our home along the way. I would highly recommend Maria.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Maria and Paul on a remodel of an older home and I cannot say enough good things about their team. I was struggling with interior and exterior color schemes and they came to the rescue with safe, transitional ideas rather than the more traditional style I was going with that would have hurt me in the resale of the home. I will admit I was a little skeptical at first, but as soon as it all started coming together, there was no doubt in my mind that these two know exactly what they're doing! I couldn't be any happier with their expertise and will use them for every future project I encounter. Thanks again!”

“We worked with Maria and her team on a special new construction project earlier this year. The project was for a mortgage free home for a wounded veteran. As the general contractor, we were tasked with coordinating the build for the organization along with the veteran and his family, and working with Maria who helped with the interior design of the home. Maria and her team donated their time, no questions asked, for this project and went above and beyond. They helped coordinate the interior design with multiple parties including us, the family, along with the design team from Southern Living magazine and JC Penny. Maria was professional and helped coordinate the interior design and furnishing of the home, which was under a very tight time schedule. As a general contractor who builds custom homes, we understand the value of time, along with conducting business in a professional manner. Maria and her team are professional and worked with us throughout the process to help make the veteran's home a reality. We highly recommend Maria Barcelona Interiors.”

“I recently hired Maria Barcelona Interiors to design a project for my HGTV show and can not say enough great things about my experience with them. Not only are Maria and Paul talented and professional, they are a blast to work with! This project was a challenge in many ways and they impressed me every step of the way...and saved the day more than once! They are incredible at thinking on their feet, coming up with unique ideas and respecting a budget. If you get a chance to work with Maria Barcelona Interiors, you're in GREAT hands!”

“I hired Maria and Paul to take my amazing condo to the next level. Maria and Paul blew it out of this world, the design choices were amazing, bringing forward pieces that i would have never imagined could work, but the confidence i had in them and their vision brought every room in the condo together. Their professionalism and commitment to my project made for a truly pleasurable experience.”

“Maria and Paul were recommended to me by my contractor during the early stages of our custom home design and construction process. They listened very carefully to all of my ideas and offered great advice and suggestions to incorporate everything into the overall design and function of our home. Each time I described an item or showed them a picture of something I liked, they knew exactly where to find it and other pieces to complement it. Working with Maria and Paul was like hanging out with old friends making the decorating process a breeze (and lots of fun). Our home turned out just the way we wanted it to…relaxing and inviting!”

“We hired MARIA and PAUL to completely redecorate our beach condo (after purchasing it fully furnished), and what an AMAZING experience and resulting beach home! It just wasn't my taste as purchased, so we decided to donate the existing furniture/fixtures to charity and start from scratch. With the husband's permission and budget blessing, we got started and worked well together designing a condo true to my individual taste. I wanted it to be beautiful, contemporary, comfortable, and user friendly! MARIA and PAUL accomplished these goals and MORE! For example, the dining room chairs are silver, but they recovered the seat fabric with metallic vinyl (for easy cleanup of sunscreen, etc). My husband got his "La-Z-Boy", but it looks great in the room (selecting the right fabric/design). MARIA and PAUL's expertise, knowledge, and decorative talents with color palette, lighting design, furnishings, fixtures, flooring, faux painting, and final touches are extremely visible throughout! We LOVE our beach condo - it's ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! We very much enjoyed working with them and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND their talents for any project!”

Maria and Paul started helping me with my house when I was still in the plans stage, and, from the very beginning, it was an awesome experience. They had so many great ideas, and I know my house would not have turned out as unique and fabulous as it did without their expertise. I was hooked after that, and even after the house was finished, they helped me decorate and furnish it to perfection. The great thing about working with them was that they immediately pegged my taste and sense of style, so when we went to pick out, for example, lighting fixtures, they directed me right to the lines/collections that I would like. I was able to avoid looking through mountains of catalogs and get straight to what I wanted. After I was finished building, everyone asked me, was it just SO hard? I told them, no, Maria and Paul made building easy for me, and I'd do it again in a second. In fact, we will begin plans on our guest house/cabana/pool very soon, and I will definitely be using them again!!

“Working with Maria Barcelona and Paul Dodson has been an amazing experience and alot of fun along the way! We hired them in the very beginning when we were working on our custom house plans. They were the perfect sounding board and had so many beautiful, creative, and innovative ideas for our new home. Once our home was built, the fun really began! Maria and Paul helped us step outside of the box in our design decisions which is exactly what we needed (Example : painting our dining room chairs peacock blue and skirting them in a tasteful, classy grey linen cheetah print). They were always mindful and respectful of our budget and style. I can say without hesitation that they are the most talented interior designers around and I am humbled and proud to have worked with them and to call them my friends.”

We had a nightmare (another contractor) that they turned into an elegant, comfortable space! They are the best. I turned it over to them and knew they would create a space I loved and they came through and exceeded my expectations! You can rest easy knowing they are paying attention to every detail. They truly want to please their clients. I highly recommend them.”
