My husband and I walked into Risa’s Interior’s and immediately knew this was the vibe we were looking for in our Condo. We were planning a complete remodel and learned that Risa offered a turn key operation. We saw some of her completed projects and were impressed with the quality,
Risa and her teams attention to detail and specifically Risa’s excellent taste! Risa and her great team didn’t disappoint. They did a fantastic job from start to finish. Risa is a gifted interior decorator and designer , hard working and stands behind her work. Beverly is wonderful to work with to pull everything together with furniture and draperies .Our Condo is BEAUTIFUL!! I would highly recommend Risa for remodeling and Interior Design ! My relationship with Risa evolved from
Consultant to teammate and ultimately a true friendship that will continue although our project has come to an end!!

So happy we found Risa’s Interiors! Have been in many of the Interior Design stores in the area with my friend from home helping me with decorating, but felt an immediate friendly and relaxing atmosphere walking into her beautiful store. So many selections!
Risa has been hands on with the remodeling of our condo on 30a, has a great and talented crew, always available to answer questions, has an eye for pulling it all together and is hard working for her client, Working with Beverly at Risa’s for selections of furnishings and handling all of the new window treatments has been great! Beverly has worked hard to help us choose the perfect fabrics to complete the makeover. Our condo has the WOW when you walk in now!! You will not regret going into Risa’s Interiors or hiring her to help with your new remodel. Risa and Beverly have become our new friends in Florida!

After a very unhappy experience with another store, I went to Risa’s and met Beverly. She has been my angel and lifesaver…..helpful, professional, kind, genuinely interested, incredibly thorough. I was able to purchase three bedrooms that day with delivery the next! After waiting 6 1/2 months with no delivery in site, I found everything I needed in a couple of hours and love it more! I will continue to recommend Risa’s and most of all, Beverly! Thank you for my beautiful furnishings!!!

Over the years, I have work with several Destin interior designers to decorate our condos. Risa is by far the most talented and pleasant to work with. She is creative, stays abreast of changing tastes and styles, and understands how to work within a budget. Our enjoyment when we visit Destin as well as our rental revenue have increased significantly since we started working with Risa. Thank you, Risa! You are amazing!

Risa and her store is THE place to go to decorate your home. Risa herself came into our home several times to measure and to make sure she helped us pick out the right items. In most cases we just let her do the choosing! The furniture is one thing and creates the bones of the room but she has the best talent for accessorizing! It is the frosting on the cake and her store has everything you need to complete your home decor.
She has done two complete homes for us in Destin and we highly recommend her and her staff !

Our vacation rental condo was destroyed by mold, so after remediation, we hired Risa's Interiors for the reconstruction and refurnishing of our place. The really great thing about hiring Risa is that she has a dedicated construction team to work with, so we didn't have the issue that many have with contractors not showing up. The lead contractor (Ezekiel) was so easy to work with, and he cared very much about the quality of the work performed by his team...top-notch and dependable...and, most importantly, on schedule! Of course, Risa's design and furnishing of our condo is so amazing...better than I could ever have imagined. We were in constant contact with her and Ezekiel throughout the project, so we felt that our opinions and wants/needs were valued. If I could give 10 stars, I would. We are now getting top dollar in rentals.

Breathtaking is the word that best describes our condo now! We called Risa after our condo was ruined by the unit above us. Risa & her team are reliable & trustworthy. They met every deadline they told us they would. We put all of our hope and faith in them, since we were in Ohio, and they exceeded what we thought was possible! After Risa has put her touch on our condo, we are now renting our weeks for almost double what we were! Everyone loves our condo! We can’t thank Risa enough! We would absolutely recommend her!

I could NOT be happier with Risa’s Interiors. The entire staff is friendly and professional. Our designer, Beverly, has helped me with some great design selections. If anything was wrong with my order or the item, they have bent over backwards to make it right.
I also LOVE their showroom. It’s full of unique, quality items that are constantly changing. The selections are wonderful!

I definitely recommend Risa. I have used her for nearly 10 years for all of design needs. I wouldn’t use anyone else. She has a natural talent that can make any room beautiful. She is so sweet and great to work with and always has great suggestions for whatever a room needs.

Risa and her team were amazing to work with. They kept in touch as we were out of town and unable to see first hand the work being done. Steve was awesome with calling and sending pictures. Their recommendations were awesome! They took our ideas and created the home of our dreams. Thank you Risa and all of your team especially Steve. You guys are awesome!!

It all started with a magazine ad and ended with a beautifully renovated condo and a friend. When I walked into the store I knew this was going to be who we chose to do our condo. She had an amazing showroom with beautiful pieces at great prices, a wonderful staff and so much more. She goes beyond the call of duty making sure everything is done on time. Including working on New Years Eve and New Years Day. But most of all she has a great vision! We were so excited to see our finished condo and she didn’t disappoint. Thanks Risa for making a dream of ours come true!!

We bought our first beach condo and walked into Risa’s store and fell in love. Fell in love with the decor she offers, fell in love with Risa and also fell in love with her staff. Risa has a true vision of what her customers want. I happened to see a man painting a kitchen table and just happened to ask if he could paint my condo kitchen and bathroom cabinets. He, Michael, started the very next Monday. I finished with my furniture order and was walking out the door and Risa asked as we were leaving, “is there anything else you are shopping for?” I was like yes, I really can’t find any rugs for my condo. And she produced rug samples that went with all my art work. She truly has a vision and fabulous inventory. My kitchen table wasn’t on the floor but she was able to show me a picture of what I wanted and was able to order. She really is a one stop store that can provide everything you need to make your beach retreat come together. I will add that she is truly hands on even texting me with updates and even came to the install. I do wish I could add pictures with this review but trust me, you will be happy shopping at Risa’s.

Risa did an amazing job taking my new(empty) 4 bedroom and 2.5 bath house and having it "move-in" ready in just TWO weeks! Furniture, decor, TV's hung, literally everything! It made my move from Virginia to Florida so easy! Just brought my clothes and toiletries! Every friend that has come inside my house has commented on how amazing the interior design is! I would HIGHlY HIGHLY recommend! Amazing job and very fast to respond! She pulled off the near impossible for us! -Nick

All I can say is that Risa is a creative genius! It is amazing to watch her. She is a true visionary and I can tell that she loves what she does. As soon I walked into her showroom, I was speechless and amazed about how it looked. I usually walk into furniture stores and like a few things, but I’ve never been to a place where I would buy everything in there if I could. Risa has the ability to pick out the most unique items and also design centerpieces, etc...you name it!
We’ve been customers for many years and she’s helped transform each home that we’ve had her! Every time we sell our homes here- they go quickly and I know it’s due to how awesome the decor from Risa’s look!

I really don’t think 5 stars is enough to rate Risa and the wonderful work she did on my condo. After 10 YEARS of searching for a condo in Destin, the opportunity came along and I purchased a unit in St Lucia in February. I was very apprehensive because I wanted a complete remodel and wasn’t sure how I would do it long distance. THEN, I walked into Risa’s Interiors and met Risa. We hit it off right away. I flew back home and Risa took the entire project and turned it from drab to “magazine worthy” in a short period of time...and, under budget! She treated my place as if it were her own and completely overwhelmed me at every turn. You won’t believe this, but, we had a delay in delivering my outdoor furniture and renters coming in...she actually brought furniture from her own house till mine came in. UNBELIEVABLE,! I’ve never had such service.
Her shop was just lovely and has 2 floors of beautiful furnishings. Some of the other reviewers stole my sentiments, because she really did hit it out of the park (and I did throw her a few curve balls) and it did feel like the reveal on the fixer upper. I would gladly, wholeheartedly recommend Risa for any project, big or small. She’s just a delight to work with and her staff is great also (thank you Joseph for all your help). I am sitting on my balcony right now thinking how grateful I am that I found Risa’s Interiors! Risa, I know you’ve won many awards and I’m sure that will continue because you are awesome. Please feel free to use me as a reference any time!

Risa literally made my life so much easier... I couldn't have moved into our new condo without her. We stopped in one day just to look around and we were blown away by how gorgeous her showrooms were. The quality of her pieces and price point were perfect and we ended up furnishing half of our condo that day with Risa. She helped store our pieces until the renovation of the unit was complete, delivered on time, helped with the design.. she was always accommodating and available. She also picked up all of the furniture from the condo that we were not going to use, and donated it to a specific charity to help hurricane victims in Panama City Beach. The biggest reason I wanted to write a review is because the week I drove to the condo and paint and stage the unit... I became massively overwhelmed and over committed. I knew I couldn't finish the job in time and I desperately called around to local paint companies. No one could help me on such short notice. I thought to call Risa.... maybe she knew someone?? She sent over painters THAT DAY and completely saved me. I'll always be a customer of Risa and I will highly recommend her to absolutely anyone.

Well look no further for the best interior designer, Risa's Interiors, in the area. She transformed multiple rooms in our home from blah to fabulous. She listened to our wants and needs. She wanted to create a WOW factor as you entered our home. These we her exact words. She completely exceeded our expectations hands down. Her huge store is filled with the most unique pieces of furniture, wall hangings and accessories. Risa has 37 years of experience and her attention to detail is very hard to come by. Also her team at the store shares her same passion for decorating. If we could give them 1 million stars we would. Thank you so much.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Dolphin Mirror. It turned out so great and I know it was a lot of work. Thanks for being a bedazzler! I love Risa's Interiors!
A very satisfied customer,

We have owned a 3 bedroom, 3 bath rental condo unit at Silver Shells since 2002 we are also absentee living in Atlanta, Ga. Over the years we worked with a few interior designers to keep the unit updated and current. In 2017 we decided to give our unit a complete update and face lift. I searched for the interior design firms for several days and located Risa’s Interiors. Once we walked into the showroom we knew this was the right place for us, it was beautifully decorated the styles were very cozy and warming and had the right feel. Risa was working that day and showed us around the shop. Once we began to discuss our project I walked with Risa to show her a few pieces that I really liked and she was able to get a feel of my tastes. I was not going to be hands on, she was the professional and I was going to leave the design and decorating to her. We made an appointment for her and her Team to view the condo the very next day. As we begin to get to know the Team and they were going to be able to do the remodel from soup to nuts. Not only the design but the construction as well, a complete gut and remodel and right down to the bed sheets! Risa made arrangement to donate the existing furniture and cleared to the unit. During construction Risa kept us informed and updated each step of the way. I had few selections to make during the process but overall her and her Team did the heavy lifting. The project took 4 months to complete. My husband made a few trips to Destin during the process and was very pleased with the progress. Late April we arrived to see the final product. It was just like the show Fixer Upper with Joanne Gaines. The condo was beautiful it was more than we ever dreamed. Top notch all the way! Risa worked with us through the punch list and did everything she said she would do. We also came in under budget she was coconscious every step of the way and treated us like it was hers.
If you are look for a top quality interior designer we give Risa’s Interiors a 5 star rating

Risa is overseeing our house remodel in Sandestin and she goes above and beyond for her customers!!! Her employees are wonderful to work with and she doesn't let faulty contractors take advantage of her customers and get by with it. When you aren't there to see work being done you need someone you can trust to get the job done and done correctly. I would highly recommend her to anybody and would use her again!!!! She is a lady that takes her business seriously and strives to satisfy her customers!!!

A big thank you to Risa, who in a single morning transformed my tired and dated condo to an updated, warm, and inviting beach vacation getaway. She listened to my needs, viewed my photos, and sprang into action. After taking me on a tour of her large, well stocked showroom she personally delivered the items we chose, offered decorating advice, including rearranging some existing pieces, and gently informing me when something needed to be retired. The pieces she brought from her shop are ones I never would have considered on my own, yet look spectacular in the spaces she chose. I am thrilled! I look forward to continue working with Risa to complete this beautiful transformation.

My husband and I just recently purchased a second home in Miramar Beach and decided to reach out to Risa Priestly at Risa's Interiors. We live out of town and needed someone to over see our renovation and SHE KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK! From the very moment we met Risa, we knew we were in the right place, her energetic and bubbly personality told us SHE LOVES DECORATING and after working with her for several months, we could quickly see she had an awesome eye for what looked great! We especially loved her attention to detail once the project was underway.Trust me, nothing gets by her! From the planning and project execution, Risa and her staff performed a professional evaluation of our space and she assisted us with everything and I mean everything! From flooring selection, granite and tile, she did it all, it was painless one stop shopping with her chic, showstopper boutique, that had an array of beautiful furniture and accessories, WHICH WE LOVED! It's a boutique that will fit anyones's budget, large or small. She even has mattresses! Also, if your looking for impeccable customer service, Risa and her staff delivers! Thank you Risa and ALL of your staff for taking our dark, dreary, dated condo and transforming it into a BEAUTIFUL OASIS! After working with you we realize you specialize in one thing...BEAUTIFUL DECORATING!!!! Hopefully she will post some before and after photos on her website, prepare to be AMAZED!!!!

Highly recommend Risa's for all of your design needs! I have been slowly remodeling my rental property over the past two years. I have purchased something every few months from living room furniture to dining room chairs to artwork throughout my condo! They have been instrumental in turning my dated beach front condo into a beautiful piece of paradise! Although I live out of town, they have been great sending me ideas, helping me decide what I should purchase first and even getting it delivered without me having to be in town. However, I absolutely love going to Risa's Interiors when I am in Destin. It's my favorite place to shop. Highly recommend it for anyone who wants their home/condo to be beautiful!!!

I had been looking in the Destin area for almost a year for a condo to purchase. I had saved several in my file not because I wanted to buy one of these but because I LOVED the interior designs. I was referred to Risa and when I walked into her store I felt like I was walking into one of the condo's I had saved. She later told me that she had designed all of the units that I had been saving all this time! Fate, destiny, call it what you will. So she tackled the drab unit I purchased and turned it into something spectacular!! Her design skills are flawless. When you walk in you really feel she has brought the beach and beautiful weather inside. I can't tell you how many compliments I have received. I take no credit and give it all to my girl and her team!! Thanks Risa for doing such a spectacular job!!

Risa and her team at the store are absolutely precious! I've been in sales for 25 years and customer service is extremely important to me and I'm not that easy to please. Risa under promised and over delivered on every aspect of the job! She took my budget into consideration along with my style and functional needs. I never once felt like she was just trying to make a sell. She also took very simple artwork and had it embellished to make a one-of-a-kind piece of art at a very affordable price. She treated me like family and really just wanted my home to look beautiful. She gained a long-term customer and friend and I will always cherish the artwork and beautiful furniture she created!

Risa and her team are nothing short of AMAZING!!! Not only did she exceed my expectations by miles, she always went above and beyond from start to finish. I was completely shocked at how quickly she transformed our condo from "bleh" to literally as beautiful inside now as the view of the Gulf from our balcony!! I never thought the interior of our condo could be as gorgeous as that breathtaking view, but Risa did it!!! Risa is also the sweetest thing! Highly Highly recommend her!

My husband and I recently relocated from the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, to the beautiful Emerald Coast to begin our much anticipated retirement.
I was very excited about our new home, but overwhelmed by the decorating challenge it presented. We had sold everything in our home in Georgia, and we wanted our new home to be very "coastal".
Very fortunately for us, I decided to stop in at Risa's Interiors. The furniture and the decor were just gorgeous. First impressions do make a difference. Marda Lagsdon, one of the excellent designers at Risa's, introduced herself and asked if she could be of some help. I said, wow! you sure can. I need your help creating a warm, inviting home with that coastal look. This is how it all started, and my wonderful relationship with Marda and Risa's Interiors began..
Thanks to Marda and her excellent decorating expertise, her tireless efforts to always get it "just right" and the gorgeous furniture and accessories purchased from Risa's, our home is almost complete and we couldn't be happier. It is just perfect.
Thanks you Risa and her wonderful staff for making my experience such a pleasant one. I love your shop and love coming in to browse and visit with all of you.
Thank you,
Mary Penton
