We wanted to express our deepest thanks to Karasawa Interior Studio for designing the interior of our house. It’s even better than we imagined! The modern aesthetic perfectly captures our vision, and we especially appreciate your collaborative spirit throughout the entire process. You listened attentively to our ideas and preferences, while also offering your expert suggestions that truly elevated the final design. Your creativity and willingness to work alongside us were invaluable.

Walking through the space now fills us with joy. It feels, modern, functional, and truly reflects our personality. We especially love the custom cabinetry, wallpaper installations on the main floor and powder bathroom, and the custom dining room table is a show stopper. Thank you for transforming a house into a home we can’t wait to make memories in.

Midori worked with us modernizing key rooms within our 1940 Historical home, she listened to our needs, captured our style and delivered contemporary, beautiful designs that have elevated our spaces to an exceptional level. Easy to work with, no ego and huge attention to detail.

Phil Hodgson, Homeowner

Midori at Style Guide Interior Design was incredibly easy to work with and flexible for ideas while have a strong direction for completion of our office remodel. I would highly recommend her and I love her sense of style!

Elisa Burgess, Owner of Burgess Plastic Surgery

We initially selected Midori as our designer due to artistic designs. She did not disappoint. She is absolutely the best. Understood what we were looking for in our renovated home. Presented us with great options then made it happen. Costs were very reasonable. We will work with her again in future.

David O’Brien, Homeowner

Midori designed our new kitchen. It was a pleasure to work with her and the kitchen is both beautiful and efficient. We highly recommend her.

Thomas Jacobson, Homeowner

Style Guide and Midori were amazing! The interior design of our remodel is beautiful and functional. Midori distilled our aesthetic and preferences into a truly unique home. We wouldn't hesitate to work with her again.

Arthur Hung, Homeowner

We loved working with Midori! She is always prepared, communicates clearly and effectively with us and all others working on our project. Her work is thoughtful and smart. Midori shares her broad creative vision and also obsesses every detail; we would love to work with her again.

Kathy Gomez, Homeowner

Midori was an invaluable partner in the early and ongoing stages of our whole-house remodel. Her ideas and leadership of the process proved to be just what we needed to create the dream home we were dreaming of.

Doug Fish & Michelle DeCourcy, Homeowner

THIS IS A LONG TIME OVERDUE! But in these times of WFH and distress I have been reminded on a daily basis how much POSITIVITY, BEAUTY, and INSPIRATION I have been getting from the work of STYLE GUIDE Interior Design has done at my home. Midori understood our intent and delivered an astonishingly beautiful result! I am in awe everyday and feeling so grateful and blessed to get to look at the art we got from her ideas and design at our house. Thank you Midori. I highly recommend her services via STYLE GUIDE 5 stars++++.

Linai Vaz, Homeowner

Midori helped us plan and beautify an 80 year old house that we bought. The house had lot of work that was needed to be done, so we had to work with a really tight and small budget for aesthetics. Midori was very flexible with us and helped us with the project and made sure to provide options that fit within our budget. Midori was very open with us providing alternate options and worked the design to fit our tastes, preferences, timeline, and budget. The process and experience felt like working with a friend and she made it so much fun!! The outcome was really beautiful and I would highly recommend Midori to anyone looking for Interior Design projects - both locally and remote.

Mrudula Anne, Homeowner

I can't recommend Style Guide ID enough! Midori was a pleasure to work with, very flexible and responsive to last-minute questions and curveballs. She was able to create a finished space WAY beyond our expectations with the confines of a limited budget, construction delays, and other challenges we threw at her. She's one of the rare designers I've met who understands that in commercial design, beauty is nothing if the space isn't functional. I'm excited at the possibility of working with her again!

Jessica Silverman, Director of Business Development of CHEFSTABLE Group

Midori is great to work with and I look forward to future projects with her in our retail portfolio.

Mark Piscitelli, Director of Retail Leasing of Harsch Investment Properties

Midori from STYLE GUIDE is amazing. My wife and I own three bars and a restaurant, and are decent at making places look stylish, but for our latest project we wanted to push it over the top and we were fortunate enough to be connected with Midori. Her attention to detail and ability to mix patterns and textures is incredible. She was even on site to help manage vendors when we were out of town. I'm recommending her to everyone I know that needs interior design work because she is the perfect combination of style and personality. Five stars isn't enough.

Eric Bowler, Owner of FORTUNE

We were so lucky to work with Style Guide ID for the redesign and expansion of our bar. Midori's design for our venue is creative and fun while hitting the exact mood we were hoping to achieve. She took our limited budget and made the place look like a million bucks. Not only is Midori a talented designer, but she is terrific to work with. Honestly, I cannot wait to work with her again.

Karen Davanzo, Owner of FORTUNE

We at Blackstone Edge Studios have photographed several of Style Guide Interior Design's projects, all of which are unique unto themselves and highly original. We have gotten two of these projects published in three magazines: Old House Journal (national), Portrait of Portland and Portrait of Seattle. Midori Karasawa, owner of Style Guide Interior Design, has tremendous talent and vision. We highly recommend her.

Donna Pizzi, Blackstone Edge Studio

Midori's work is phenomenal and she is a joy to work with. In Portland's design world and beyond, the aesthetic and inspiration she imbues into each and every project creates a visual landscape that will leave you speechless.

Ben McBee, Client

Midori has an extremely creative eye for her designs and is very accommodating through the entire process. She handles each detail with care and is easy to work with. I hope to collaborate with her on some more projects in the future.

Stephen Blanquie, Client

Midori is a wonderful designer. Great vision, patience, care and attention to detail. She was able to help us transform a run down old four-square house into a beautiful, modern duplex. We would definitely hire her again!

Aaron Pempel, Homeowner

I can’t say enough good things about Midori and Style Guide ID! From idea concept to project execution, Midori was communicative, creative and fun. Her design incorporated all of our thoughts and concerns (polished yet kid friendly, for instance) and came out even better than we could have imagined. I look around my house at her beautiful work and can’t believe it’s actually mine. Highly recommend!!

Molly Lindquist and Scott Finklestein, Homeowner

Midori is an absolute gem to work with! Her projects are always AMAZING and I am always excited to see her finished work. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a designer :)
