Contractors Cabinet & Design

We've worked with a few interior designers in a few countries and Louis Ashman is one of the best. We required a home make-over with furnishings. Louis worked with great energy to help us create a home environment that truly reflected our own personal aesthetic. Louis has a great eye for color and detail. He provided and implemented a perfect space plan and was able to advise and manage all aspects of the project including the renovation requirements. Louis delivered well above our expectations and we loved every minute of working with him.

Through the years Louis has helped me with several projects, the most significant being our kitchen. Louis custom designed cabinets and our kitchen layout, helping us get the most from our space while also meeting our function and aesthetic needs. Louis is great to work with ... personable, responsive and smart. Louis does not push his own design aesthetic but rather helps the client to find their own aesthetic .... building in the function that you need from the space. As an aside, Louis' talent with choosing color is nothing short of brilliant.

Louis and his team worked with my wife and I on a new construction home in Needham Ma. After one and half years of close collaboration and timeless dedication by Louis I can say we have our dream home, something I never could have accomplished without him at our side. I am a longtime Real Estate agent, & licensed builder so I have quiet a lot of experience with builders and designers of all sorts. I can say that Louis's fee was the best money we spent on what was a no expense spared highly detailed & technical home build. Louis was a gentleman and through meetings with my wife an I guided us through choices and options for every detail large and small offering us products we would never have found on our own but ended up loving. His interaction with our builder, and all associated subcontractors on the job was complete professionalism and collaboration for our benefit. He captured our vision and through material selections, detailed education with each subcontractor made sure our vision became a reality. In construction there is an incentive to use the same materials and create the same style over and over. Louis made sure our house ended up reflecting our personalities and is truly one of a kind. Initially, I was afraid a "designer" would want to spend my money and increase the project cost. With Louis one of his best attributes is his desire to keep costs to a minimum by working closely with the builder and client to determine a cost effective solution or alternate material selection. Overall, we cannot say enough about Louis. He poured his heart and soul into our home and we are incredibly thankful for having met him. We would not even think of building another home without him by our side. He is creative, focused, and dedicated to his clients to the degree that felt as if we were at times his only client ( we weren't). Thanks Louis and team!

Louis and his team provided complete design and interior coordination services on the project. The final product spoke for itself but it was their hard work and vision that made it happen.

Louis Ashman is one of the most talented people I’ve worked with in any field. I got to know Louis when he designed and project-managed two full bathroom renovations, and advised me on a full kitchen renovation. I consider myself to have quite high standards and attention to detail. Additionally, I’ll mention that my projects had to be done on a budget. Reconciling these two things is, of course, usually quite difficult. However, I was able to work closely with Louis to achieve quite amazing results. I now get to enjoy my amazing bathrooms and kitchen daily, thanks in large part to Louis. Louis is a talented and effective designer for three reasons: First, he is a good listener. He’ll take the time to listen to really understand what you are trying to achieve with your project. I often brought opinions and ideas to the table, and Louis listened to them, but also was direct in giving supplemental or even conflicting ideas and advice. So, he’s a good listener, but is also willing to push back and offer alternatives, keeping the ultimate project goals in mind. As I mentioned above, I’ve done my projects on a budget, but asked Louis to stick to incredibly high standards. My experiences with Louis showed me that he has a knack for achieving certain “looks” while not paying typically concomitant prices. Seriously. I showed Louis a photo of a bathroom in the Armani Hotel in Milan and he somehow came up with the right mix of materials and clean lines to achieve a very similar look in my quite moderate budget. So, the second feature of working with Louis is that he can be creative and work with you to achieve the results you want on a finite budget. Finally, Louis is just a joy to work with. It’s unclear where this man gets his energy, but no matter the time of day or situation, Louis brings a positive energy that is often a much-needed elixir during the inevitable harrowing times that accompany all renovation projects. I expect Louis will continue to become more and more in demand as time goes on, and I hope for Louis’ sake this review helps expedite this process. Thanks again, Louis!

Louis and his team did a fantastic job on a full gut remodel. They managed virtually every detail from architectural drawings to interior design. Their team was highly professional, very responsive and incredibly detail-oriented. All work done exceeded expectations.

Louis Ashman is a wonderful designer! He is professional, courteous, and a pleasure to work with. We welcome any opportunity to work with Louis because we know that his designs will be thorough, the details will be thought out, the final project will be exquisite, and the clients will be overjoyed at the work they have invested in. He is a professional that brings not just skill, but integrity to his projects as well.
