About the Owner

Luxury Design Service in Thousand Oaks, CA

I’m so excited to share my passion for interior design with you! Ever since I was a child, wandering through model homes with my mom, I’ve been obsessed with spotting those clever design details that make a house feel like a dream home. Those early moments inspired me to spend the last 20 years crafting spaces that not only reflect my clients’ unique personalities but also function even better than they ever imagined.

Using cutting-edge CAD software, I bring designs to life with 3D visuals so clients can see their vision come together. As an experienced interior designer, I hold a Master’s degree in Project Management from USC, a BS in Business Management from Northern Arizona University, and interior design training from Moorpark College. With over 35 glowing client testimonials and consistent 5-star reviews, I’d love for you to see why people enjoy working with me.

Janice remodeled 2 bedrooms for us in a beach theme. She chose a gorgeous fiberglass surfboard, fabulous tile flooring, and fantastic furniture to compliment our concept. This is the second time we have hired her and we would definitely hire her again. She has become like a family member and she really understands our goals.

Janice Peters handled a remodel of my home in Thousand Oaks. She was the consummate professional throughout the entire process, even going so far as to check on the quality of the work after my family and I were living in our beautiful home. Janice assisted with selection of plumbing fixtures, tile, light fixtures, window treatment, surface materials (counters), cabinetry, and even some furnishings. Throughout this process, if there was the smallest problem, Janice responded immediately and worked with me until the issue was resolved. And as anyone knows, a remodel is an astonishing array of decisions, product and trades that requires great focus. My husband and I were impressed with Janice's breadth of knowledge regarding each trade and her ability to assist in hiring tradespeople that were true craftsman and professionals. I have, and will, hire Janice again for future projects.

We are so glad we found Janice. She is exceptional at listening to your needs and incorporating them into her designs and recommendations (e.g. young family with 2 small little ones). She understood our style from the beginning and challenged it by recommending different and exciting ideas that we probably would not have thought about ourselves. She helped us transform our kitchen, living room, floors, staircase, and family room into everything we had dreamed about. Again, we are so glad we found Janice.

Janice designed our family room, living room and kitchen and did an amazing job of making the overwhelming number of decisions seem manageable. Janice was able to work well with our limited design vocabulary and knowledge, while staying true to our general vision. We managed the construction process without a general contractor and Janice was able to provide reliable recommendations for contractors. Janice was very responsive, and even after the job was 98% finished and she could have easily forgotten us, she followed through a few items on back-order and didn't leave us hanging.

I hired Janice to help create a floor plan and pick materials for our complete master bath remodel. She did a great job listening and creating a plan that fit our style and budget. She presented us with plenty of options that were current and helped me narrow down material decisions that at times can seem a bit overwhelming. She was always prompt, on time and produced what was promised. We could not be happier with the finished bathroom and I feel confident that she was the right designer to choose.

Janice has exquisite taste and is so easy to work with. She gave us great advice on how to layout our downstairs living areas, and found us the perfect furniture for a challenging space. I would highly recommend her!

We recently purchased a home that was in need of a complete remodel. Our contractor recommended we contact Janice Peters, whom he had worked with on a few projects. At our first meeting we knew we were in good hands and she would help us create the home we envisioned! Janice is very creative and detail oriented and listened to our ideas and preferences and incorporated them into an incredible design! Our project is going very well and we can't wait to move in. We would highly recommend Janice Peters to help you create your dream house!

Janice helped us to make informed decisions that brought our concepts to a magazine-like reality. She did this while staying within our budget, on our schedule and thereby helped us avoid costly mistakes. Unlike other designers we have used, Janice wants to make your ideas a reality, rather than trying to fit you into some current fad, or concept that is her own favorite. She also responds to emails and phone calls very promptly.

Janice did all the window treatments in our home (14 windows), and I could not be happier! Her treatments made our home complete.

Janice is excellent to work with. She is professional and pleasant, with a calm, relaxed demeanor that helps you feel comfortable with her and confident of her abilities. I really appreciate that she is organized, prompt, timely and reliable. She does a nice job of narrowing your selections for you and then allowing you the time and space you need to make the final decision. She has great taste, and is very good at assessing your style and making recommendations that are in alignment with your preferences. She has access to a wide variety of vendors, so she is able to make suggestions to suit your needs and then also quickly purchase your selections or find someone to install, build or create something for you.
