Laura’s Reviews

Fun place to shop. Good people here. Quality and uniqueness is what they have. Purchased a wide corduroy cuddle chair and soon after got rid of the recliner and ordered another one. I love the quality of their furnishings.

We have been dreaming about adding on a family room for years but finally decided to pull the trigger. The plans were drawn up, but I wanted professional guidance and reassurance. We have known Laura for years- our kids went to school together, but I had never reached out on a professional level. She has [...]

“Laura helped me furnish my living room and entry way top to bottom: sectional, side chairs, pillows, end tables, mirror, coffee table, rugs, lighting, and console table. I loved, loved the result. She captured the exact feel and look I wanted. She listens and collaborates and she has a great sense of color and style. [...]

“Laura helped me select furniture for a whole first-floor remodel. She made the process easy and enjoyable! After discussing my preferences she seemed to understand just what I wanted. I wanted a beautiful, but comfortable feel and that is just what she created. I would highly recommend her advice to anyone.”

“This is the second time we had Laura help us with designing our living space and she didn’t disappoint. Our living room is now full of color and is cohesive with the rest of our home. The lounger addition in our lower level is perfect for the space and fits nicely with our modern vibe. [...]

“We had so much fun yesterday working on our design for our living room with Laura!  I woke up early this morning thinking about how it will feel like a whole new home all over again. I just can’t stop smiling about your original design and the modifications we chose. It will be beautiful!  Thanks [...]

“We had such a good experience with designer Laura Beeler when switching out a beloved antique pine cabinet for a modern credenza.  Laura helped us find the right color and texture for this large piece.  It’s perfect and the delivery people couldn’t have been nicer.  The living room is evolving – thank you for our great start!”

“From the first day I met Laura I felt comfortable in her hands. My worries that I would be pushed into expensive furniture were gone. Laura worked with me to try to find what I wanted even when I didn’t know. I ordered a fabric and had a couch made for my exact needs for [...]

“Working with Laura was a real pleasure.  After moving into a new home it was apparent that the furniture we owned just didn’t seem to work in the new space.  We met with Laura, talked about what we wanted, and looked at fabrics to help her get some direction and she took it from there.  [...]

“I had a great experience working with Laura Beeler on my living room redesign. She listened to my ideas and asked me questions to better understand my needs for this space. Laura was fun to work with and easy to communicate with. She is friendly and flexible. We were quickly able to arrive at a great [...]

“Working with Laura was a pure delight. She listened well and guided me towards these chairs which are as sturdy as they are comfortable. They are the perfect addition to my open-concept floor plan with an attractive and interesting back view. You can’t go wrong with the exceptional designers at By Design.” West Des Moines

“I didn’t think we could afford custom furniture until we found By Design. Laura helps us select quality, personalized pieces that fit our style and our budget. In the end, it doesn’t cost much more to get higher quality furnishings. I feel confident buying and I know it will be delivered with care. I also [...]

“We stopped at By Design to browse.  We had no intention of buying anything.  We were impressed with the uniqueness and comfort of the furniture.  Laura Beeler guided us to items we might like.  After our initial in-store experience we decided to contact Laura for in-home consultation.  She was spot on about what we like [...]

“I was immediately greeted by Laura who impressed me with her knowledge of the furniture and how it would fit into my space. They have a great selection of fabrics for your made-to-order furniture. They may be a little more expensive than some of the other furniture stores but the quality of the furniture is [...]
