Guess who just got new blinds and shades installed, YAY! I kept the ones I moved into the house…read morewith, and since then, they had to be moved (when I got new windows), resulting in some fitting differently. I also got a cat that (by accident) broke some of the blinds panels... and in other instances, the blinds just stopped opening because the mechanisms broke. So I've been thinking about getting new blinds for quite a while, and I knew I wanted it to be something sturdier than the classic thin beige ones. I did some research, and realized the kind of blinds I wanted, but also learned that they could only be purchased through certain distributors. It seemed like a perfect opportunity to support a small local business, so that's how I stumbled upon Wills Decorating. I arrived one early afternoon and the place really did feel like a mini Lowes or something, hahaha. The man behind the counter was wrapping things up with another customer. I took the time to explore and I immediately found the blinds I had in mind. But I also saw these cool looking shades that could be opened from the bottom... AND top. And they had this cool honeycomb shape, I was intrigued! When the man was done, I found it his name was Michael, and he is one of the owners, and he's local local! He grew up near the same community I currently live. So we talked about blinds and shades, and we arranged for the co-owner, Valerie, to call me so we could schedule time for her to come over. Within a week she came, and I made some decisions that I am so delighted with now that the project is done. We discussed colors, I told her what my plans were for painting -- she was VERY efficient and professional. And she was also very friendly, willing to chat about my vision and give recommendations. Days later, she followed up with a quote and we made it happen. I had to pay half once I decided to move forward, and then the other half after installation. Another person, Dave, came and did the installation at every window. He came in the middle of a workday, and I told him when I had meetings -- he started with my office window, and I was worried about having to move my desk. He was able to easily work around it! He worked very quickly! I was thoroughly pleased with what he had done -- and it wasn't before long I had a follow-up conversation with Valerie and she was asking how everything looked. Dave had sent her some pics and she was as excited as me. All that to say, I am overjoyed and I'm looking forward to my next house upgrade (when I cool down, financially, haha).

I met with Jason to go over ideas for a new home I am building. First and foremost, he was totally…read moreprepared for our appointment. It was obvious he had spent time going over the house plans I emailed to him prior to our meeting. He had great ideas and thoughtful questions that were very useful in the process. He even came prepared with paint chips he left with me for possible paint color choices. He shared ideas for lighting and flooring by pulling up web pages we could explore together. I thought his fee was very reasonable. I have built several homes but never consulted with a professional designer. I am so glad I decided to do so with Jason. He is very easy to talk to and down to earth. His ideas were a great help to me for picking out all my finishes. The process can be overwhelming and I am so glad I had Jason's help!

I had a fantastic experience with NuLook Interiors! Mr. William Robinson and his son Brett were…read moreboth extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly throughout the entire process. They were able to provide insight into how the different styles would look, once installed, which was helpful when trying to narrow down The selection and different options for each. Both men communicated with ease and efficiency, which made the selection process a breeze. Ultimately, we decided on white blinds for my children's playroom and my bedroom. I'm really glad I went with a smaller, family owned company as opposed to a bigger commercial company like Lowe's or Home Depot because of the personal attention and awareness to detail. The men at NuLook Interiors did an amazing job and made sure I was taken care of like family. I definitely would recommend to a friend and I look forward to working with them on future home designs.

Be aware that this is not a custom, hardwood type place (apparently a thing of the past - couldn't find anyone who does that anymore), but for a custom configuration of laminated composite pieces, it's nice.

We used this company for the sale of our house. It came recommended by our realtor…read more It was one of the worst experiences we've had with any home home we sold. The furniture and decorative pieces they brought over did not reflect the style/feel of our place in the best way. We had to send bunch of pieces back (including air mattress for a $1.5M home). Worse than that, the project manager was not open to feedback, had a very strong attitude towards everything we said. She seemed upset and annoyed (and was making us extremely uncomfortable). She was very hard to work with. There are a lot of great options in DC when it comes to staging. I would recommend trying a different company.
