Throughout this ambitious project, they proved to be optimistic problem solvers. They seamlessly worked with the engineer and contractor to install central air conditioning, navigated the demands of the building's board, and met the ever-changing requirements of the city's building department. Marissa assured our place would be different from everyone else's by reflecting my eclectic style of mid-century modern, contemporary, industrial and LA glam. My wife and I share the core value of spending time with those we love. Because of Marissa's creativity and attention to detail, our beautiful home is the perfect place to do that.

Like why certain pieces look best together, how dimensions affect design, and even the scheduling process. Instead of getting furniture and accessories in a little at a time, everything was set up on one day for a fun and exciting grand reveal. Our calming primary bedroom is just our style and the custom cabinets with built-in bar and display cases make our lounge multi-functional. The Design MACS team were so accommodating and flexible as our project grew. It was a great experience. Laura

I am remodeling a family owned apartment in Manhattan from scratch…read more I was trying to pick out paint and had been to Benjamin Moore probably ten times. I was at a loss. I contacted Allyson from A and R and she agreed to meet with me in her store and assist me. I brought with me samples of the remodel tiles, fabric samples etc. She spent a good deal of time with me and also showed me a special paint line of BM I didn't even know about. She came up with the perfect colors. Then I was able to go down the street to the paint store she recommended me to to buy samples. I bought the 3 paint colors to NYC today and they were perfect. The furnishings in her store are different and beautiful and I will be back when I am at that point. She is a very talented decorator and very easy to work with as well. So, thanks a million.

Wonderful! We have worked with A&R Interiors for a few projects and have been happy with the…read moreprocess and the end result. Best of all, they listened, captured, and implemented our design needs and style. When possible they worked with items currently in our home. Our first project, with A&R, was redecorating a room in which they added to the existing furnishings. The proportions of the furniture are perfect and they knew exactly where to put that special piece. Additionally, A&R has been very helpful with our remodel. Allyson had many great suggestions and assisted in avoiding pitfalls during the construction process. Sometimes it's the small details that really give your home that extra special touch. Communication throughout the process was great. During the design process, we were shown different options both at our home and the A&R showroom and were able to understand how everything would work together. Having an open floor plan, it was important that the colors were able to tie into other rooms. We were updated on manufacturer production schedule, inspection, and delivery. We have been very happy and look forward to using A&R again!

They unpacked our boxes and organized our apartment and storage unit from top to bottom with efficiency, thoughtfulness and attention to detail. They had a lot of practical and creative solutions to making our space work for our day-to-day with a baby and a large dog, and helped to implement systems to keep us organized in the long term. They were worth every penny and I found their pricing to be very reasonable. Above all, they are kind, funny, absolutely lovely people to work with and I can't wait to have them over for a refresh in a few months!

Her eye for material and color is spot on. She pushed me to go outside my comfort zone which elevated the look and feel of the space. The flow from our entry way into a large living/dining space and our photo wall of memories makes me smile every time I come home. I appreciated her effort to stay within my budget .. finding less expensive but quality pieces in a few places so that I could get my must haves. It truly was a pleasure to work with her.

She transformed the Studio 300 sq ft to have distinct living, dining, sleeping, and working spaces. She tamed the chaos and created a tranquil space employing textures, artwork, storage, and layout. Our daughter and her puppy love their place. We found the perfect BPC 2 bedroom and needing it move in ready in just 4 weeks, she created a livable contemporary design with custom artwork, sourcing new furnishings, which we never would have picked ourselves, but love, and coordinated all painters and any contractors. On move in day, we filled the pantry, hung our clothes and just started living. What a treat to not have had to worry and just enjoy our new place. No matter what your space, Tina can work her design magic and make it stunningly, comfortably yours.

Working with Erin Strickland at Morris Interiors was one of the best decisions we made during our…read morewhole-house remodel. The project was focused on preparing our home for sale, and Erin's design insight and management made an enormous difference -- both in the quality of the finished product and in the sale price. Her thoughtful design choices and practical advice directly contributed to an increase in our home's value of roughly $350,000. Erin's approach was responsive, collaborative, and always focused on getting the greatest impact from a tight budget. Just as valuable as her design recommendations were her clear opinions on what not to change -- helping us invest where it truly mattered. She managed trades efficiently, stayed flexible in sharing oversight, and wasn't afraid to get hands-on, personally helping lay out floor and shower tile. She balanced professionalism with a personal touch -- meeting in person when needed and easily handling other decisions virtually. Her listening skills and calm, encouraging manner made every choice easier and better. Billing was fair, transparent, and timely, and her access to trusted vendors saved us thousands (including $5,000 in cabinetry costs alone). In the end, the cost of design services was more than justified by the results. We couldn't recommend Erin and Morris Interiors more highly for anyone looking to combine creativity, value, and professionalism in a remodel or home design project.
