Every detail was considered from "age in place" foresight with curbless shower to clean lines with the low iron glass walls and timeless appeal with her tile color choices. She also received compliments on her renderings from 2 architects that were also involved in the project! If a complete gut barhroom remodel is in your future then i encourage Amanda from Lydy Designs to be an integral component!

She far exceeded our expectations in planning and implementing a cosmetic upgrade to several of our home’s rooms. Mandy took our direction and ran with it—making great suggestions on colors, wallpaper, fabrics, rugs, living room and porch furnishings. We are amazed at how beautiful everything came out.
We found Mandy very pleasant, professional, and easy to work with while being very reliable, organized, and involved. She takes great pride in her work and is very fair and upfront with her fees and pricing.
We’ve worked with several interior designers over the years. Amanda Clement is the most talented and best that we have ever worked with.

Working with Amanda has been sheer pleasure. We started with a walkthrough where she listened to our needs and then quickly laid out a room by room plan for our new home. She has a keen eye for color and details and incorporates those throughout her recommendations. We started our journey over a year ago and she delivered on every single detail and agreement utilizing previous pieces and enhancing each and every room. She provides detailed visuals to allow you to react to her recommendations with details on pricing always offering choices to meet difference price points and goals. Amanda will not disappoint you! One of my favorite spots is our gallery wall that makes me smile each and every day.
Thanks Amanda for being such a pleasure to work with. You are a real design talent.

We can’t say enough about our wonderful experience working with Amanda. Over the last 18 months we refinished everything in our HHI home with Amanda’s guidance and we could not have done it without her. Her attention to detail, organization, communication, and amazing taste were spot on with us. We get so many compliments from family and friends. We loved the entire process and gained a good friend along the way in Mandy. 5+stars

We couldn’t love Amanda any more than we do. After purchasing a home in Palmetto Bluff, SC, my husband and I decided to avoid the “typical” coastal vibe. Amanda provided the knowledge and open mindedness that we needed…the interior of our guest house is now a fabulous shade of black, with the coolest earthy furnishings. Amanda will work with you to fully discover your aesthetic, and the results are OUTSTANDING.
Response from the owner · 2 years ago
Thank you for the most wonderful and creative feedback, Tracy! We absolutely love how the guest house took shape! Helping others fully discover their aesthetic is EXACTLY what we set out to do - thank you for nailing that! XOXO
Beth Rundio3 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Beth has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
We have had the pleasure of working with Amanda Clement for three home renovations(two condos and one house). She truly exceeded our expectations on all projects. We have worked with her on architectural plans, plumbing, tile, flooring, lighting, paint color, hardware, drapery, floorplans, furniture, rugs, artwork, etc. Her professionalism, extensive knowledge, and meticulous attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process. She incorporated innovative ideas that brought such a unique and custom approach to the projects. The collaboration was seamless and her excellent communication skills with not only us, but our contractors, cabinet designers, and suppliers ensured that our vision was truly understood and realized. She was cost conscious and was quickly able to value engineer during the design phase to reduce cost whenever there was a concern. A family member who has been a home builder for 50+ years commented that it was one of the most thought through homes he has ever been in and that she significantly increased the value of it. In addition to all her design talent, Amanda is patient, kind, reliable and so much fun to work with. We would highly recommend her services for anyone seeking a top-notch interior designer.
Response from the owner · 2 years ago
Thank you so much, Beth! These words mean the world to us. It goes without saying that we couldn't have asked for a better team on all three projects with the most recent completely exceeding our expectations! We genuinely can't wait for the next layer. Thank you again for your articulate and incredibly kind words :)

Amanda has been an absolute dream to work with; so much so that we kept signing her on for more work! She made the design process fun and easy. In only a couple of conversations she somehow helped us find our combined style that wasn't clear to us after many years of living together.
Our house would never look the way it does without Amanda; she'll definitely be our first to call with any house questions in the future.
