The entire process with Designs Blinds & Drapes from selecting the perfect draperies, with regard…read moreto appearance and materials that matched my vision, to installation was not only seamless, but also thoroughly pleasurable. Mike made a personal visit to my apartment initially to take measurements and he brought a variety of swatches that closely matched the initial request I made while at the store. I felt very heard because my request was not the most common (100% cotton velvet); yet, Mike clearly directly responded to the design guidance I gave to the shop and came fully prepared. Because I live in a rental apartment, I wanted to install draperies that would serve as a wise investment and be versatile even when I eventually move. Mike helped me to make specific, cogent choices along these lines that will serve me well in the longterm. Mike also sent a full catalog to me so that I could browse rod and finial options and replied promptly and with care to my various follow-up questions. When the order arrived, I received a call to schedule the installation. I appreciated the clear, proactive communication. Mike, Chris and Peter, a capable trio, arrived on time on the appointed morning and worked meticulously, precisely and with thorough zest and dedication to their craft. They planned ahead and spent a generous amount of time to ensure that the draperies were installed to the highest standard. I felt that they deeply respected my space, not hesitating to take off their shoes at the door. They came prepared with tarps on which they laid their tools to protect my rugs. They made sure I was happy with the work and even went to great lengths to steam each velvet pleat, resulting in an impressively polished and opulent appearance. Clearly, Mike (and DB&D) bring decades of experience and refinement on all levels of the business. This is a local business that deeply cares about and invests in its relationships with both its customers and other local businesses. The entire experience was luxurious and it's really the kind that can only derive from extensive pre-planning, comprehensive logistical coordination, and a developed intuition for emotional attunement - because making the customer feel comfortable and the entire process feel effortless is ultimately the acme of immeasurable value. If you are looking for a local, truly values-based, customer-oriented experience of the highest grade, Designs Blinds & Drapes is for you.

First time working with Designs in Blinds & Drapes. Excellent experience. Lisa was unbelievable…read moreand offered her design experience, but was open to what I thought.

Shane, Jeannine and their staff were knowledgeable, super helpful and caring. Their support, communication and guidance continued throughout the process, and beyond. They literally took a pig's ear..(our old sofa) and made it into a silk purse.

We are extremely grateful to Shane, Jeannine and their entire staff.

It was a complicated situation because of the frame around the slider left little room for standard fixtures and the width and height of the slider was very large. Rick had samples of curtain swatches with him and made some wonderful suggestions in that area also. He left me a few swatches to help me decide which fabric would work best. A very pleasant and professional experience.

How lucky are we to have this fabulous family owned business near our home!…read moreOur first project with them was to recover all our dining room chairs. We brought photos of the room, the rug, etc...and they were so helpful in choosing a fabric that brightened up the room! Our second recent project was an 1800's Victorian Corner Chair that was in the attic for years. I emailed Barry photos and he emailed right back with suggestions (to not refinish the wood as to keep the original patina) and a quote. We brought in the chair and Toni brought out various samples to choose from. The orignial silk was a teal/blue and she assisted us in finding a beautiful fabric. The chair was polished and looks just gorgeous. This family has the knowledge, the eye and the professionalism you need! And they are very responsive and super friendly. Before and after photos of both projects are below. BTW the photos don't do them justice. We are anticipating another project...soon! Thank you to Barry, Toni and the entire family!

I wish I could give them a thousand stars…read more Probably 40 years ago, my grandmother gave me a chair that had been in her home forever. I loved it, and had it in my apartment for years. My cats destroyed the fabric, and the chair moved to the basement, where it remained until we moved to a new house about a month ago. I almost threw the chair out, but couldn't bear the thought of parting with it. So I contacted Vinny at Miro Upholstery, and he couldn't have been nicer. I went to the store to pick out a fabric, and Vinny suggested that I take some fabric books home. He gave me several books, my husband and I went through them and selected one. Miro picked up the chair and the fabric books, and today, about a month later, the chair was delivered. It is more beautiful than I could have imagined. New foam, new fabric, they touched up the wood - it's an antique chair that looks brand new. I'm completely thrilled. This was an excellent experience, and I would highly recommend Miro Upholstery.
