Space Planning Professionals in Swarthmore, PA

“Gretchen is wonderful. I had been wanting to re-do my living area but was afraid to hire someone and afraid to do it myself. By extreme fortune, I found Gretchen. She tapped into my inarticulate needs brilliantly and came up with a truly lovely design that made all my previous fears disintegrate. She also made the process of implementing the design pretty painless. She is a gifted artist and real professional - and yet, worked smoothly with a rank amateur. I LOVE everything about my new living room and dining room. Thank you, Gretchen!”

“Within minutes of entering our new home for our initial consultation, Amy was able to navigate through our pile of collected treasures, gain a clear understanding of our style, and find a color scheme that we absolutely love. We hired her to design our living room and it is now our most favorite place to spend time in our home. She is quick to respond to any questions or concerns and has been a pleasure to work with. We will be hiring her again to help us with our master bathroom renovation.”

“Umoja Homes really supported me by envisioning what could be true for my project. Even though my project was based in a different state, I received personalized support, knowledge and guidance that helped me to thoughtfully and masterfully navigate my vision. I originally hired someone to create a blueprint for me and it was a disaster because they weren't professionally trained to create said documents. Umoja Homes was able to recreate my project in a timely fashion and meet the expectations depicted by my builder. I highly recommend this company to help you with your construction and engineering needs.”

“Cathy is an excellent designer and listens to her clients’ needs. I love her ability to share options and views based on her experience. She has a great sense of style and looking at her completed projects, you can see her ability to create beautiful and interesting spaces. She has advised us on our new home build including design options as well as furnishings. We love our new home and decisions that Cathy helped us make, including some fun unexpected furniture choices!”

“Audra Fine at Deconstructed Living helped us furnish and decorate our home in Margate NJ. It was new and had nothing. She was respectful of our tastes and budget. She took our input but didn't let us make mistakes. A few years later we moved our primary home in PA. She worked with all of our furnishings that we wanted to keep while bringing in new items to update our home. Audra is the best. She is a delight to work with.”

“Caroline’s attention to detail, responsiveness, keen eye and knowledge of the industry and design world truly sets her apart. But it is her ability to connect with her clients, build relationships, and turn a house into a beautiful home that makes her one of a kind.”

“Stephanie was very easy to work with! Her initial consultation was very helpful and informational. I would highly recommend Stephanie based solely on her knowledge of materials and practical design. As an artist myself, I was very pleased with her color sense.”

“I have retained Karen Cronin on three significant projects. The most recent project was the move from my primary residence(4000 ft.² plus home) in South Jersey into my current residence (large two bedroom apartment at the Ritz residences in Philadelphia Pennsylvania). I am a divorced father of two. I own and run my own business. I work long hours and travel extensively. Bottom line-in a move like this I needed a tremendous amount of help, and based on my previous experience with Karen I had every confidence in her abilities. She exceeded my expectations. On the front end of the move Karen took responsibility to vet and retain movers. She supervised and coordinated the packing of my home, and the move. A stone the size of the home and the amount of furnishings very little was used in my new residence, which required that belongings and furnishings be donated or stored. Karen handled all of this. She was on site for the move out of my South Jersey residence, and coordinated with the building Philadelphia to handle the move-in. She had everything planned well in advance and it ran like clockwork. Because I was moving into a totally different style and size residence, Karen needed to completely design, furnish and accessorize my new residence. This required her to spend considerable time in advance designing, measuring and providing the options based upon my taste and pricing parameters. This move encompassed everything from furniture, to art, lighting, kitchen appliances, etc. Karen furnished and designed for the foyer, living room, dining room, family room and bedrooms. Karen coordinated with the vendors and my building to make arrangements for all deliveries and installation. She handled placement and timing of art. She worked with selected and vetted multiple vendors, including the movers, electricians, plumbers and carpenters. She has exemplary communication skills. We communicated multiple times daily. Based on our extensive experience together my trust in her judgment is absolute-yet, she took no steps without authority. I have absolutely no reservations about giving Karen complete access. She is completely trustworthy I have no reservations about recommending Karen Cronin. I can assure you I will be hiring her again. Completely dependable, the ultimate professional. Punctual. And, she has great taste. My place looks awesome. Constantly receive compliments. Can't go wrong with Karen Cronin!!! I would have no problem speaking with anyone considering Karen.”

She is able to make your house look absolutely beautiful regardless of your budget, big or small. She provides you with several options/plans to accommodate your style and budget. She is extremely patient and works with you to the very end until you are happy with the finished product. I would highly recommend her for any of your interior design services.”

“Nicole is absolutely amazing. I can't say enough good things about her and the interior decorating services that she provided for us. Nicole originally helped us in a historic home in Jacksonville. She was incredible at learning what we wanted, matching the neighborhood feel, and making the house feel just right. We then unexpectedly moved to the beach!! Nicole worked with us to repurpose our old furniture, adapt it to our new house style and make the PERFECT house sitting. We love, love, love the work that Nicole did for us. We're so grateful.”
