Dolezal Design Group

Dolezal Design created an absolutely amazing transformation for my 1941 Spanish bungalow in Palm Springs California. Doug Dolezal worked magic on this little gem of a house helping to restore it’s original charm yet making it totally comfortable and liveable. He was wonderful with our contractor and really helped to ensure the project stayed on time and within budget. Thank you!

I work in the real estate industry in Rancho Santa Fe and Del Mar and have admired Doug’s work in many of the homes and estates. I noticed that he was one of the few designers that had the keen ability to pick up on a client’s own individual style, so that their home was a true reflection of what they wanted; rather, than the designer forcing their own style on the client. His talent is truly beyond compare and I called him to help with my own home. He helped guide me to find the perfect style for the home and turned each space into a treasure. He is a true artist and his talent is in both interior design and gardens. Doug is a genius and if you are looking for someone that will turn your home into a timeless treasure then you need not go anywhere else!

I would like to wholeheartedly recommend Dolezal Design! Doug is a genuinely gifted designer — and an authentic person to boot. Doug helped me clearly outline the project beforehand and the whole redesign was actually much easier than I imagined. Most importantly, I am thrilled with the end result. My home is now both a retreat and a genuine showpiece. Not only did Doug take the interiors to a new level, he helped transform the exterior area in a beautiful outdoor room. I now entertain al fresco — and toast to Doug regularly!

We are thoroughly impressed with Dolezal Design. We first met with Doug and Tarni for a design consultation. They were both so warm and gracious and clearly explained how the design process and service would work before we made any commitment. Once we decided which rooms we would be revamping, the process was so easy for us. They really listened to our needs and came up with great solutions. Most importantly, the end product has far exceeded our expectations! The rooms are absolutely beautiful and have become spaces that we as a family feel better being in. Our guests have complimented up repeatedly on the transformation. Using Dolezal Design for the remodel of our kitchen and living area was one of the best decisions we’ve made. We can’t recommend Doug and his team more highly.

See Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles Case Number 12A00766. Successful judgments against Dolezal in initial case and also on his appeal heard 7.31.12. Dolezal charged me 35% «margin» on furniture when I claimed that our agreement was customary (high) 30% commission over his net cost. Mathematically, 35% margin equals 54% over his net cost. Further, his cost was the retail cost (minus10% discount) at H.D. Buttercup since he did not buy from the trades as is customary! I paid 40% over retail! He also «mistakenly» overcharged 1% sales tax. I discovered the 54% when I found a H.D. Buttercup invoice in a drawer — he would not provide me requested vendor invoices because he considers himself a retailer (who operates from his home). That’s his story and he is sticking to it. Maybe this will work for you. His legal defense was that I signed the proposals and agreed to pay specific amounts. Great taste but take a decorator to a retail store on an hourly basis! Sigh…
