Space Planning Professionals in Portsmouth, NH

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“I decided to work with Life Styled because I'm not good at interior design & don't have a good sense of style. Ashley transformed my rather drab living room/back porch into something amazing that I never could have done on my own. I still get compliments to this day on the layout/design of my living room & the plants/furniture combinations Ashley picked out for me. Not only did she take the time to meet with me & give me multiple options on almost everything, she kept me in the loop throughout the design process & followed up with me after the fact. I would highly recommend her & her company to any of my own friends & family - it was a true pleasure to work with Life Styled.”

“I truly enjoyed working with Chad. He is a very talented and professional designer whilst making it look effortless. He completely designed my downtown condo keeping it within my budget and was very conscientious of my time and personal style. I would definitely recommend him to a close friend. He is doing another project for me this spring.”

“I worked with Heather Nadeau Design to pull together the look I am going for in my new condo. I needed Heather’s advice and guidance on placement, area rugs , fabrics, and accessories, some new, and also incorporating what I have already. Heather is pleasant, personable, easy to talk to, listens to what I want, and guides and advises me accordingly. This is what I need Heather for, but I can confidently say that she would be most helpful in any area of design. I am always clearer on how to proceed after we meet to discuss something.”

“I enjoyed very much supplying our reclaimed wood for a few of Robertas designs! Her butcher block design is one of the finest I have seen.”

“Lisa is not only lovely to work with, but she fully understands my design aesthetic and keeps me focused on what will/won't work according to my taste. She articulates my tastes better than I do and works well on budget, helping me to prioritize what is of value and what isn't. Because of Lisa's skills, I stay true to my aesthetic and don't waste extra time and money on decisions that are off path. Lisa is knowledgeable about the design industry, extremely resourceful, and creative beyond measure. As a skilled decorative painter, Lisa has also glazed pieces for me, thus transforming older furniture into stunning pieces of art. She is magic!”

“Pam has saved me countless hours and dollars by providing her expertise in a concise and practical approach with results that fit our taste and lifestyle. We have completed 3 projects with Pam already (a bedroom, a library and a family room) and look forward to another 3-4 to come!”

“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.”
