Thankfully, we found Martina. She understands the challenges of interior design for small spaces and the importance of setting (and sticking to) a realistic budget. We challenged her with desired changes in every room: kitchen, dining, living, bed, bath, and office. Martina broke the process down into manageable steps, guiding us to make decisions first on key design elements and then using these to help us discover our own style along the way. We love our *new home* and are so grateful for Martina's interior design knowledge and her ability to help us realize our vision.

From creativity and elegance to thoughtful execution, Martina helped us find the right pieces and fabrics to create an elegant space that was still inviting and cozy ( and French bulldog friendly!) We worked with existing pieces and added the rest ( within the budget we agreed to - surprises!)

The new shop is wonderful. It is spacious, bright, colorful, and fun. And Tiombe broke the mold when it comes to customer service. She was knowledgeable, helpful, attentive, and zeroed-in on what we needed. Parking is easy in the parking lot in the back of the building.

Emilie is absolutely fabulous! We moved from the West Coast to Baltimore in October 2021 and…read morepurchased a row home in Federal Hill. The home had been updated 10 years ago and was very eclectic. We had never felt totally settled in our prior home and wanted to work with a designer to feel totally settled into our new life across the country. In reviewing numerous Yelp and google reviews, we found Emilie at Home Methods and instantly fell in love with her bold and bright color palettes and the right amount of eclectic and classic to really match our personalities. We were still in escrow when we met Emilie and she came over to the home even before closing to take measurements and help us start envisioning our new home. Emilie walked us through every part of the process with expertise and enthusiasm. Emilie gave us quotes for helping pick out design ideas at various cost levels as well as helping us install her vision with appropriate contractors, delivery personnel, and shipping/storing until installment day. In the first round we decided on living room/dining room furniture, wallpaper/paint, art and decor. Once we were living in the home, we realized we needed to update the hardwood floors, which were not standing up to our pack of pets. Emilie helped us then identify some awesome luxury plank vinyl to protect the original hardwood underneath and a fantastic professional to install them. All of Emilies contractors were professional, kind, prompt, and provided excellent work product. Emilie herself is kind, personable, incredibly knowledgeable, prompt, enthusiastic, and flexible. We literally could not have imagined a better working relationship with such a big task. We absolutely love our home and all of the design choices that Emilie helped us make. With such an eclectic home she helped us marry the right balance of punchy and timeless, not to mention durable with 4 dogs and a cat. If you are looking for any home design project, big or small, Emilie is the right choice. We will continue to use her for ongoing updates and additions in the future because it was such a wonderful experience. Thank you Emilie for making this huge transition so easy and turning a house into a home!
