Featured Reviews for Interior Designers in Portsmouth, NH

Claire's Perspective
Interior Designers in Portsmouth, NH
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 August 2017
“I have seen many examples of Claire's work and can say with confidence that her construction/design knowledge is extraordinary. She uses the highest quality materials and the best sub-contractors. Claire is a true professional who consistently meets deadlines and budgets. We were very impressed with her quick grasp of what we envisioned for our kitchen. Although we decided against doing the project, Claire would have been our first choice.”
Solstice Design
Interior Designers in Portsmouth, NH
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 October 2012
“Solstice Design designed our salon. Janet's eye for detail was able to take what I wanted and create a salon I would not have been able to design myself but exactly what I wanted. Janet picked colors that complimented the space, yet expanded on it to create a comfortable yet spacious feeling. It's upscale without feeling stuffy. It's modern without feeling cold. We couldn't be happier and our customers love the look.”

“Leigh revamped my apartment living room, adding some great color schemes that went along with my already existing wall artwork. She's professional, courteous, and really knows her stuff. Highly recommended. Thanks Leigh!”
Marcye Philbrook
Interior Designers in Portsmouth, NH
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 December 2011
“Marcye Philbrook did interior design work for us over a period of about a year. She is not only a great designer, but a delightful person to interact with in every way. Marcye is a good listener — she quickly understood what we were looking for and adapted her proposals to suit our tastes and sensibilities, while also introducing us to a lot of creative, new ideas. She even expertly negotiated differences between me and my husband, searching for products and regenerating designs until she could please us both. Her design concepts for the rooms in our home were natural, practical, designs-to-live-in. She has a wonderful sense for color and texture — I particularly enjoyed working with her to choose fabrics for pillow sets for our den and living room. The results were quite different for the two rooms, but each set is like a little artwork in itself, with a few fun, specially constructed patchworks that she put together thinking about both design and efficient use of the fabric. She also has great contacts for painters, wallpaperers, rug dealers, seamstresses, cabinet makers, etc., and was able to subcontract directly or guide us to businesses that were honest and reliable and who provided excellent quality products and services. When we realized we had a very tight spot for a bathroom sink, she custom designed a cabinet herself to maximize the use of the space and even made the trip to the marble company warehouse to personally choose the cut of stone to use for the top. I love Marcye and I’d hire her again in a heartbeat.”

“Christina helped us decorate most all of our new home. She is smart, talented and an absolute joy to work with! She helped us co-ordinate our Ethan Allen furniture with window treatments and rugs, all in one fabulous store. A very professional woman, I would recommend Christi's expertise to anyone that needs advice with their decorating!”
Wysteria Design
Interior Designers in Portsmouth, NH
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 November 2014
“My husband is very handy so we knew he could do the work. Problem was we didn’t have a design plan. I decided to call a professional. From the initial phone call, I felt I could work with Becky. She asked lots of pertinent questions, and I scheduled a home consultation. The project was a living room in a 30 year old house which hadn’t been redecorated in 20 years. We have views of a lake, so a nautical theme seemed natural. After much discussion, Becky suggested a “nautical shabby chic decor” complete with chandelier and seashells. She mentioned several architectural changes, such as taking down a 3/4 high wall near the stairs and installing a horizontal window over the fireplace. Just these 2 ideas added much-needed light into the room. We added white faux beams to the ceiling, a warm ash hardwood floor, and gorgeous grey walls (not a color I would have considered until I saw her picture board). What I especially liked was that she also helped me choose some wonderful, inexpensive accent pieces - a 4 foot sailboat on a shelf over our piano, cut glass lamps to enhance the chandelier, and a beautiful golden rug. These were found in consignment stores! We found Becky easy to talk to and she had out-of-the-box ideas! She listened to what we told her. She is an excellent communicator, and doesn’t try to talk you into something you are not comfortable with. Becky was reliable and when she says she will call you, she does. We would definitely recommend her to anyone who is thinking about a design plan. The outcome is a stunning room that we will be able to enjoy for years to come!”
Panache Interior Design
Interior Designers in Portsmouth, NH
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 September 2013
“I went from a house full of blah, builder’s white walls to fabulous, spirited surroundings in a complementary palette of warm reds, yellows and greens. Sharon helped me to determine the right colors, coaching me every step of the way. And, she considered my budget and family's needs as we decorated.”

Beautifying Spaces LLC
Interior Designers in Portsmouth, NH
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 August 2020
“Cheryl at Beautifying Spaces helped me with an addition to my house where I was adding an attached garage and breezeway. She was amazing! She came up with a design that seamlessly tied in with the existing structure and yet included modern touches and maximized the views from the breezeway. The breezeway is now one of the most striking features of the house. Her attention to detail was extraordinary ensuring every last item was addressed and I stayed on budget. I am already thinking about the next project she can help me with.”

What’s the difference between interior designers and interior decorators?


These two closely related professions are often mistaken for the same thing, however, there are some significant differences to be aware of before deciding which to hire. An interior designer, sometimes known as an interior architect, can run full renovation and structural design projects, and will use specialised knowledge of interior architecture, construction systems and components, building regulations, materials and furnishings to arrive at your dream home design. Interior design companies are able to plan spaces and room functions down to the last detail, and can help design and renovate interiors, from initial planning phases to placing the last decorative accessory. A decorator on the other hand will typically be involved only in the aesthetic layer, the “look and feel” of a space, and won’t be able to assist in renovations that require structural work. Interior decorators normally come on board after all structural work is complete. So choose your Portsmouth, NH interior designer according to the type of work you need.

Why should I hire an interior designer in Portsmouth, NH?


They say life is what happens while you’re busy making plans. Some of us are just too preoccupied with a career and/or family to think about colour schemes, wallpaper, flooring and lighting. A professional interior designer in Portsmouth, NH can save you bags of time, stress and months, if not years, of living in a half-finished home. It’s their job to stay on top of the latest trends and to have contacts and visual references coming out of their ears. Interior designers can also save you money, by sourcing products via trade contacts or offering affordable alternatives to blowout iconic designs.

How do I choose the right Portsmouth, NH interior designer for my home?


Good design and visual inspiration are all around us. Start by searching for interior architects and interior designers in Portsmouth, NH on Houzz. Keep a lookout for images of rooms and features that you really like and save them to your Ideabooks to begin to develop an understanding of your own style and taste. If you notice that photos from the same interior design companies are popping up regularly then that is a good hint that they could be your perfect design match. You can feel most confident if you hire an interior designer or interior design company in Portsmouth, NH that has completed work similar to the look and feel that you desire, whether that is a mix-and-match lounge oozing mid-century modern style, a pale and interesting minimalist bedroom with shots of colour, or a beautiful space inspired by Scandinavian design.

You may want to check if your designer is a member of the Society of British and International Design (SBID) or The British Institute of Interior Design (BIID). Both are a benchmark of quality and reliability. And check if your interior designers can offer you the right type of service – some companies are design only, while others can oversee the whole project. If it is the latter that you seek, make sure any sub-contractors used are fully accredited and it is clear who they are supposed to report to. If late alterations are made to the plan, the contractor should receive a change order, thus minimising the risk of a dispute about what was and wasn’t agreed to after the start date.
