Since our relationship began in 2004, Shannon Rice has been a constant comrade and collaborator on numerous projects over the years.  I am always amazed by her design talent and organizational skills.  I highly recommend Payte Miller Interiors for any Interior Design project.

Payte Miller Interiors is the best of the best when it comes to interior design in San Diego County.  Principal designer Shannon Miller is highly knowledgeable and her skills unsurpassed.  She worked diligently with us over a year to understand OUR taste and style. At times she went above and beyond until we were comfortable and perfectly happy with construction intricacy and interior décor. Highly recommended!

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Shannon on 2 residential projects as well as some commercial work.  I keep going back to Shannon because, in all projects that she and I have worked on, I’ve not only gotten what I’ve wanted, the outcome has wildly exceeded my expectations.  The residential projects were labors of love for both of us with a massive collaboration, me sending her thoughts and she turned them into great design ideas.  She also had a great team of contractors, furniture makers, etc. that help to implement the dream, all at a fair price.  

Great design, awesome collaboration, fair pricing and delivered when she says it will be delivered. A great combination that makes for a timeless design.

Shannon worked with me to replace the floors and carpets in our house. This was a big project that included removing all the furniture and my husband and I moving out for 2 weeks. Shannon took charge of the entire project from start to finish. She is efficient, organized, and professional. We are so pleased with our beautiful floors.I would highly recommend Shannon for any project.

I have known Shannon from Payte-Miller Interiors for over a decade now and you will not find a more creative, dependable, hard-working individual.  Shannon designed a kitchen remodel and coordinated renovation efforts for a rental property that I own and I could not have been more satisfied with the results.  She has also selected the paint and window treatments for my personal residence, again to my utmost satisfaction.  She is always my go-to person for any design need.

I have had the pleasure to know Shannon from Payte-Miller Interiors for many years now.  And for all of those years, she has been the most hard-working person I know.  We have used her for two different projects at our home and our company used her for a complete remodel of the offices.  Throughout all the projects, Shannon was always readily available for advice and questions and she was always prompt when providing us with quotes and information.  She was able to stay within our budget and provide us with beautiful, quality work.  We are extremely pleased with all of the outcomes and feel that we look better because of the wonderful design work she performed for us!  I cannot recommend Shannon highly enough.

As a supplier working with designers can be a nightmare. Or it can be worse than that. Working with Shannon was, instead, a pleasure. She knew what she wanted but she was precise with the budget, conscious of the manufacturing process, clear with her design vision. Change orders were handled professionally and the project ended up exactly as we all envisioned it to be, We loved working with her and hope to do so again in the future.

Shannon is so easy to work with. She lets the client take the lead and is exhaustive in her research and developing the idea to make a success.  She has extensive knowledge of design and building. She knows fabrics, fabrication, function. She is so punctual and very responsive to time constraints. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Shannon Miller and her associate Ashlynn were both extremely helpful and patient with me remodeling 2 bathrooms from out of state.  They offered many different selections and helped me stay within my budget.  I am thrilled with my new bathrooms.   I could not have done it without them!

Payte Miller Interiors recently completed a redesign of the interior and exterior improvements and fixtures at the “Positano” condominium building in La Jolla, CA.  PMI was hired by the HOA to refresh the property’s prominent common areas implementing a more contemporary and coastal design theme.  This included work to the main entrance, lobby, and residential corridors.

Throughout the design, budgeting, and project execution phases of the project Shannon exceeded all of our expectations.  Her ability to create solutions for some of the more challenging aspects of the project was excellent.  Her knowledge of finish materials, space planning, lighting, colors and landscaping was tremendously valuable throughout the project.  Working with Shannon couldn’t have been easier.  Her attention to detail and organized communication helped our HOA stay on schedule and on budget throughout the project.

As a general contractor, I have worked with many interior design firms over the years.  Without a doubt, Payte Miller Interiors is at the top of the list.  I would recommend them highly.

I have so enjoyed working and learning alongside Shannon. In addition to having a keen creative eye full of ideas, she is so easy to work with, always organized (very important to me), punctual, communicative, manages expectations w quotes/estimates, has great listening skills, is able to help me narrow down options in a matter of minutes and is flexible.  What I appreciate most is that she honors my preferences while introducing new ideas to have me consider.   

Due to my relatively small space and it being my first time with a remodel (learning about materials, verbiage, and trying to stay within my budget range), I managed the cabinetry/countertop/paint phase of the condo.  In hindsight, I would have rather Shannon managed the process due to my hectic full-time job schedule and having to learn quickly about the flow/sequencing of items to order, vendors to coordinate, etc.  That said, she is adaptable to serve a role as a consultant or to manage a large project.

I know she has extensive experience in both residential and commercial properties (hospitality) which is quite impressive!  The amount of knowledge and insight Shannon encompasses from fabrics to appliances is astounding!

Hands down, Shannon will continue to be my designer for future properties.  I am so incredibly happy with how my project is coming along and am counting down the days for my interior pieces to arrive!

We began the process of building a home and wanted someone with an interior design background to help during the construction phase as well as the interior design phase.  Shannon is very professional, friendly, and always listens to what we think is important. She has a great vision and gives us confidence in our decisions as well as provides options that suit our needs.  Shannon’s background and education provide her with the skills for construction documents or simple sketches.  Shannon is very organized and detail-oriented.  She is also very prompt and always delivers projects on time. We also appreciate what a great communicator she is. We highly recommend PMI for any design needs. We feel thankful to have Shannon as part of our team!

I have used Shannon’s services while decorating my previous and current homes.  Her dedication to making my vision become reality was amazing.  My first experience was such a success when she helped me with a complete house makeover.  Coordinating color palettes, helping me choose materials to use for surfaces and floors, and devising a plan for furniture placement helped to make my previous home so beautiful.  My second experience was equally positive.  I needed to turn over the details to Shannon to complete while I was out of town caring for my mother.  Her team got all the jobs done exactly as asked and in the time frame requested.  When I came home I was able to take a deep breath and relax in my new sanctuary.  Her precision planning made the work get done the first time, with no “do-overs” or “oops” moments.  All pluses in my book!  As I sit in my beautiful home and look around at the great job Shannon did for me I am grateful to have found her as my designer.  I have referred her to friends with complete confidence.  She embodies true professionalism.

I have worked with Shannon at Payte Miller Interiors three times (so far) on different jobs, one professional and two personal.  Each time she gave great ideas that were always within my/our budget. I would catch myself saying, “I never thought of that before” and loving the ideas she came up with. I appreciate her follow-up and the fact that she takes care of the little details.  For example, after we had an issue with the painting contractor she had hired for our home she was on the phone IMMEDIATELY and had someone over to rectify the problem within an hour. She has impeccable taste and is up to date with the latest fashion and colors (which I am not so I appreciate that greatly!!)  She is a fantastic designer and I recommend her highly.

We hired Shannon, from Payte Miller Interiors LLC, to help us with a remodel of our Mid-1980’s Master Bathroom. From our 1st meeting, Shannon showed professionalism & understanding. When she presented us with her initial designs, she explained everything, so that we could understand her ideas. Her plans were professional, thorough & within our budget. She knows & respects our timeline. A True Professional!
