"Vela did an amazing job of bringing together creativity and functionality.

They saw our space with fresh eyes and gave us a new and very functional kitchen design. They were flexible with our specific desires and requests. Our kitchen looks beautiful but it also functions really well. They have exceptional taste and we are incredibly happy with the work they did for us! Our only regret is that we weren’t able to have them do more work on our home!"

 
 

"Innovative, creative and inspirational.

Kimberly understood our aesthetic and the functionality we needed in a small, challenging kitchen space. She was able to take our input and enhance it, coming up with a design that exceeded our expectations. She listened to our thoughts and added value with the design. The visual representations she provided made it possible for us to understand not only the aesthetic of the space, but also how we would function in it."

 
 
 
 

“Vela gave us the perfect blend of artistry and functionality in the design for our mid-century modern kitchen and bath remodel.

They were very responsive and easy to communicate with. Presenting and talking through ideas was very interactive and personal. Kimberly joined us when making a decision on our marble surface for the kitchen, which was very helpful. We highly recommend Kimberly and the Vela team to anyone looking for design services!!!"

 
 
 

"We knew it was time for a remodel and that the project scope was beyond our expertise.

The Vela team stepped in with professionalism, fluid communication, and took the time to learn about us, our clients and the experience we wanted our clients to have. They struck the perfect balance between our preferences and great design. Not only do we enjoy being in the new space, but it makes us feel proud. It’s changed our attitude toward and the way in which we host meetings and events. The compliments from our clients are endless. We noticed right away that our clients felt more comfortable here and the rejuvenated space added to their confidence in us. Not only did we see a higher percentage of potential clients hire us, but we’ve grown our team of 3 to 10 since moving in. The light-filled space feels calm, professional, modern yet warm. We STILL love this space."

 
 

"Vela’s attention to detail, patience, and visual presentation of the design far surpassed my expectations.

I find myself consistently pleased with their ability and willingness to make decisions that specifically work for me and my needs. I’m especially delighted with the art choices and furniture placement. Everything just seems to fit and serve a purpose. I get sooooo many glowing comments on them from visitors! I’d like to say I chose them myself, but… They’ve created a clean, warm, inviting environment that felt like home right away!"

 

"Vela took our old office space and completely refreshed it with a clean and unique feel.

We're a manufacturer so most offices are not too pretty, but we wanted something our employees could be proud of and our customers could be impressed by. We were pretty much going into the process blind, and Vela did a great job of laying out options along with visual aids/example photos. Our input was always valued and they found ways to accommodate any changes we asked for. Our new space created a new energy and enthusiasm for coming to work, there is an unmeasured boost in efficiency, and we love to show it off. One customer even said "it's like a Silicone Valley vibe in Minnesota". We'd recommend Vela to anyone that is designing a space of any kind!"
