Our Clients Say It Best: Real Interior Designer Reviews in NYC

Why do client reviews matter when choosing an interior designer in NYC?

When it comes to choosing an interior designer in NYC, you’ve got options. But how do you know who to trust with your time, your budget, and your vision? Simple: you listen to the people who’ve already been through it by checking interior designer reviews in NYC. And our clients say it best with their real reviews and real results.

We’re not the type to brag (okay, maybe just a little), but hearing how much our clients love their spaces never gets old. These reviews are proof that our model works.

Also, reviews show you how a designer executes, whether they stay on budget, deliver on time, and listen to your needs. Our reviews highlight our flat-fee pricing, quick turnaround, no-markup policy, and personalized designs that work for real spaces and real budgets.

Why Reviews Matter in the Design World

Interior design is personal. You’re not just hiring someone to choose paint colors, you’re trusting them to understand your lifestyle, make smart layout decisions, and help you feel good in your own home. Reading reviews gives you insight into what it’s really like to work with a design firm.

Do they stay on budget? Do they actually listen? Do they show up on time and deliver what they promised? Our reviews answer those questions, and more.

“This was my first time collaborating with an interior designer and I had the most amazing experience working with them. The provided mood boards spoke to my personal style while pushing my imagination in ways I never would have imagined. She understood me in a way only a friend who has known you for years would.”

What Makes Our Clients Rave

We’re not your typical interior design firm, and that’s the point. We’ve spent the last 20 years perfecting a process that works for real people with real lives and real budgets:

Transparent pricing: We don’t bill by the hour or surprise you with hidden fees. Our flat-fee packages make it easy to know what you’re getting—and what it costs—up front.

Quick turnaround: In most cases, you meet with your designer once, and approximately two weeks later, you receive a detailed floor plan and curated shopping list: no long delays, no design dragging out for months.

No markups, no pressure: We pass our trade discounts directly to you and never mark up furniture or decor, and we shop at the stores you do: West Elm, RH, Serena & Lily, Wayfair, and more. Better yet, you’re free to shop yourself or use our optional shopping service.

Virtual or in-person flexibility: We serve clients across NYC and the tri-state area—including Dobbs Ferry, Montclair, Great Neck, Wilton, and Washington, DC—but we also offer virtual design nationwide. That’s the kind of service that earns five stars.

“I loved the way that our needs were listened to and executed without us having to do any of the dreaded research or legwork. The whole experience felt easy, and the best part is that we got exactly the kind of result we were looking for at an affordable price!”

From Overwhelmed to Overjoyed

Many of our clients start out feeling unsure: how do I even work with a designer? What if my place is too small? What if my budget isn’t big enough?

The beauty of our process is that it works for everyone: renters, homeowners, couples who can’t agree on a rug, first-time decorators, seasoned DIYers who need a push. You bring the space, we’ll bring the plan.

“My designer absolutely “got” what I was looking for. I could not have been happier with the reveal call. As a further plus, we came in well under budget! I was truly impressed with the way my designer turned my ideas into the looks for the room.”
