Houzz 2026 Best of Service Award: Our Commitment to Client Experience
This annual award celebrates the top-rated, and most admired, home remodeling and design professionals across the global Houzz community.
We’re honored to share that Social Swan Decor has once again been awarded Houzz Best of Service for 2026. This recognition builds on previous years and reflects something I care deeply about: the client experience.
While awards are always meaningful, what makes this one special is that it isn’t decided by a panel or a trend. It’s based on client reviews and overall satisfaction, and speaks directly to how people feel working with us.
What “Best of Service” Really Means
Houzz’s Best of Service award is based on client reviews and overall satisfaction. In other words, it reflects not just the finished spaces, but the journey it takes to get there.
For me, great design is never simply about selecting beautiful finishes. It’s about guiding clients through a process that feels thoughtful, organized, and deeply personal. Furnishing an entire home, or diving into a renovation can be overwhelming. Decisions stack quickly. Budgets, timelines, contractors, materials—it’s a lot. My role is to bring structure and a calm presence to that complexity.
Our Signature Process
Social Swan Decor’s signature process was built intentionally to support busy, high-achieving clients who don’t have the capacity to manage every detail themselves. From the first discovery call to final installation, our process is designed to put clients at ease and support them through every step.
We accomplish this by:
Asking the right questions at the outset
Presenting clear, cohesive design concepts
Providing detailed specifications and documentation
Collaborating closely with trusted trades and vendors
Proactively managing expectations and resolving challenges before they become client stress
The result creates a beautiful space and a seamless experience. Our standard ensures clients feel heard and genuinely taken care of throughout the entire process.
Why Experience Is the True Luxury
In my opinion, true luxury isn’t just the marble selection or even the architectural details. It’s expressed in custom upholstery, beautifully scaled furnishings, personalized art, and the thoughtful layering of texture and light. And just as importantly, it’s how supported you feel throughout the entire process of bringing those elements together.
Luxury is knowing that decisions are being handled with care. It’s trusting the team guiding your home. It’s being able to travel, work, parent, or simply enjoy your life while the details are expertly managed. That’s what this award represents to me.
I’m incredibly grateful to the clients who have trusted Social Swan Decor with their homes, and who have taken the time to share their experiences.
Design is inherently collaborative, and the best outcomes are built on trust from every direction. This recognition also belongs to our extended team of builders, trades, vendors, and partners who uphold the same commitment to excellence on every project.
Looking Ahead
Awards are meaningful milestones, but the real goal remains the same: To create deeply personal, refined spaces for families who value quality, intention, and ease.
If you’re considering a full-home design project and are seeking a team and process as refined as the finished space, I’d welcome the opportunity to connect.
