Design Consultation Professionals in New Haven County, CT

“I had the privilege to work with Claudia on a whole house project in Stamford, CT. She is incredibly talented and wonderful to work with! It is amazing to watch her work as she makes it look so effortless! She consistently keeps her clients wishes in mind when making design choices . She was mindful of the budget and timeline in order to accommodate the client's move in date. The final outcome is just beautiful!”

“We worked with Hartley & Hill Design to completely renovate and redesign our kitchen last summer. They were fantastic and we cannot say enough about how wonderful they were. We met with them and described the concepts that we wanted (functional and classic, keeping in mind that we like to entertain, but we have small children and a busy family life). They put together the design and sat down with us to explain their ideas very thoroughly and also run through the budget. They came up with a fantastic design that we never would have thought possible, incorporating very creative ideas, while still keeping in mind our budget as well as our personal preferences. It was a very collaborative process, with us being as involved as we wanted to be, but not feeling like we had to manage a project; they expertly managed the project for us! All of the subcontractors they hired were first class. The renovation was very well organized, there was consistent open communication, any hiccups along the way (as will happen in any project this size) were managed smoothly and effectively. Needless to say, we are thrilled with the end result. We can't wait to use them again soon to redesign our dining room/living room area. We would highly recommend them!”

“Christie is knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to work with. She helped me choose paint colors, fabrics, sofas, coffee tables, lamps and more for my mid-century modern home. I wanted to keep it simple, but warm and colorful. Christie struck just the right chord. She also introduced me to sources for furnishings that I would not have known about on my own and saved me from costly mistakes and do-overs. If you can find the right designer, your home will come together more easily. I feel so lucky to have found Christie.”

“Our experience with Caryn Paradis was excellent from start to finish. We had an unfinished basement that we wanted to finish and didn't know where to begin. Caryn talked with us in detail about how we wanted to use our basement and then came up with plans that included all of our needs as well as ideas that we hadn't even considered but should have. She was able to design a space that incorporated areas for everyone in our family, including our young son--even a stage that could be pulled apart for use as couches when he becomes a teenager! Because we live in separate states, Caryn was able to do much of the work remotely with minimal visits to our home to take measurements, etc. She had finish samples sent directly to us quickly and walked us through the decision making process. She designed specific requests, such as a fireplace for my husband and a guest room/office area. Caryn paid attention not only to the aesthetics of the job, but also the practicalities, such as outlet placement and HVAC. She also included amenities such as a well-placed dorm fridge which will come in handy when our son is old enough to use the space as a hang-out with friends. All in all, the job was smooth, well-designed and surprisingly painless. Caryn listened to our needs and then exceeded them. We would recommend her without reservation.”

“Diane worked within budget to update the decor in our Brooklyn learning center. The results were beautiful! Everyone who walks through the door comments about how warm and welcoming the space feels. Diane had some great suggestions that I never would have thought of, like adding mounding to the walls to bring forward the period look of the 1840 townhouse we occupy. She also suggested that we install a soft pad underneath the low pile wall-to-wall carpet on our breakout room. You would ever know there is a concrete floor underneath! Kids love to tumble around in there, boo boo free! Thanks Diane!”

“Allie is wonderful, easy to work with very talented. She provided some great ideas and worked within our budget, she made a huge difference in our home. Thanks Allie!”

“I had the pleasure of working with Melissa Mack Design for our office space, and I cannot express how impressed I am with the outcome. Melissa not only carefully listened to our needs but also translated them into a thoughtful and functional design concept while staying within our budget. The new office space is not only inviting but also perfectly aligned with our requirements. Melissa's attention to detail and creativity shine through in the beautiful aesthetic she created for our workspace. The entire process was smooth, and her expertise made a significant impact on the final result. I highly recommend Melissa Mack Design for anyone seeking a professional and talented designer who truly understands and delivers on their client's vision. It was truly an amazing experience, and I am thrilled with the results.”

“I have worked with Chrystal over the past five years. She is an excellent designer and project manager. She coordinates all the parties involved so that everyone is clear on the project goal, she has creative and unique ideas always with the client or builder in mind. On time and on budget should be her motto. Im very impressed with what she does. Keep it up Chystal.”

“I've worked with Kristen on several design projects in my home and she consistently over-delivers on offering great advice and creative solutions. Kristen always listens to ensure she understands what I'm trying to achieve, then provides the right balance of guidance and direction to find the right solution for each individual challenge. She is extremely responsive, accurate and we always have a good time. Kristen delivers great customer service as well. Even if I don't have an "active" project in the works, she will share ideas and inspiration on a regular basis. I always love seeing her emails pop up in my inbox! I highly recommend Kristen!!”

“I highly recommend Julians Interiors for ANY design/decoration project. You will never be disappointed and I guarantee you will be thrilled with the results. The entire Julians team is professional, highly knowledgable and very creative. They have always met my deadlines and budgets and work well with all subcontractors. In fact I would say you should hire Julians before you are ready to decorate. On multiple projects of mine, Julians has worked with the main contractor/architect to make changes to plans and projects that made significant improvements to the overall design and function of the spaces. On one specific project in a guest house, I wanted to move a wall to make the room bigger. I was told that that wall couldn't be moved by the contractor. I brought in Julians to work with the contractor and Julie herself was able to explain to the contractor how to move the wall and solve the design problems this would create. The end result looked amazing. Julie is able to work with the most ornery contractor to make changes that improve the design and convince him that he made a good decision! She is magic! The money you spend hiring the professionals at Julians is worth every cent. There is so much creative energy that is spent on every design that you will be amazed how much attention you get. Julians is now decorating my third home. I would never use any other designer. My homes are completely different: New England center-hall colonial, 250 year-old farmhouse with separate buildings and a beach house on the water. The designs are completely different and all amazing. Projects Julians has done for me range from simple kitchen, bathroom and room updates, to complete kitchen rip out and redesign and gutting a 200 year-old cottage and rebuilding/redesigning it with only the original beams and fireplace standing. My only advice is TRUST Julie's design decisions. You will not be disappointed. If she says it will good great and is the right thing to do, it will look AMAZING and you will LOVE it.”
