Judy is patience and professional. She takes the time to evaluate her client's needs. A soft-spoken demeanor with a whole lot of talent. We have a challenging space and she dove right into it to create a finished product taking the necessary time and implementing our goals. It was important to me that a conversation could flow between us and exchanging ideas was easy. I highly recommend Judy Olson Interiors. read more

This review is way overdue. We had never used an interior designer before so this was a new process for us. We have a living room with the 20 foot ceiling that opens up to a loft on the 2nd floor. The issue over the years was entertaining as the noise between the loft and living room was fighting each other. In our mind we needed an interior designer and a project manager as our initial thoughts was to build up a wall to separate the two areas, but the intent of the open space in the original design was to allow flow between the two rooms. So we had the idea to build up the wall to separate the space and add a shutter system to allow the space to open for the original intent. In working with Judy she assumed the role of interior designer and project manager as we expected to have a contractor involved in build up the wall to separate the space. We wanted an interior designer to also be involve in how the wall was to be designed as we had dual purpose for this, separate the rooms for noise but yet allow access if needed or required. She takes the time to understand tastes of me and my wife individually. She also provides CAD (computer animated design) previews of her ideas. As the project expanded she accommodated our changes as we included a home theater expansion in our plans. We asked that our living room not look like a home media center and she came up with extremely tasteful ideas that worked for us. We love the space that she has created and it's been a blessing. As a project manager she took away the stress of dealing with the contractors and as an interior designer worked with us to achieve a look and feel that worked both with me and my wife. Will use her again in a New York minute. read more

My wife and I had a private consulting appointment with Judy to straighten out some of the products selection of our kitchen remodel already in progress. She came prepared from photos we sent her in advance. She picked up on and helped incorporate our differently style preferences quickly. She kept us on track to get consensus and work quickly to select tile, paint, countertop, flooring, etc. I appreciated her opinion, explanations and efficiency. read more

My first experience with another so-called designer was not good. So I was very hesitant to use the services of another designer, based on my bad experience. Judy came by our home, made suggestions for wall color and decor. She presented two design schemes with two different wall colors. Both were beautiful, but I chose the more conservative moss green/navajo white. We jumped on the suggested wall color because I couldn't stand another minute of the drab, flat paint that was on the wall. The change alone made a dramatic look in our living and dining room. After painting our walls, I knew that I could let go of my hesitance in Judy's suggestions. I do not have the ability to see the big picture, but Judy does. I couldn't imagine what the area rug that she suggested would look like in my home. When the rug was delivered and we put it in the living room, we could now see the change, the warmth that was greatly needed in our home. Judy asks for input, makes suggestions that are cost-effective and aesthetically beautiful. She is easy to work with. I was not in a hurry for my room to be done, so I can't speak to time frames. I am always willing to wait. I have a welcoming, warm, beautiful living and dining room. Some of my family visited me the other day and remarked that the living/dining room looked like a room in a model home. I highly recommend Judy, and will once again thank her here for a job beautifully and well done! read more

We are so pleased with our experience with Judy. We had Judy help us redecorate two rooms in our house. From the first sketches she made at her first visit, I knew she would do a wonderful job. She listened to what we wanted, paid attention to the other furniture in our house and our tastes, and was very aware of our budget. Judy managed the whole project for us--was there when workmen were around, for furniture delivery, and staged both rooms! That was money so well spent. We are thrilled with both rooms. They went from cold, uncomfortable rooms to the two most popular rooms in our house. We have received so many compliments on the furniture and lay-out of both spaces. I would recommend Judy most highly! read more

Judy is great! We reached out to Judy with a HUGE list of items to discuss with her. What can I say, we were clueless when it comes to how to decorate a house and how to best use our open space. Judy came to our house and provided great feedback on paint colors for our interior, drew a floor plan design for future furniture (provided exact size dimensions), and provided us with a list of furniture places to check out that would cater to our furniture tastes. Later, Judy helped us via email to ensure the furniture items and rug choices we were selecting went well together. I have recommended Judy to several friends and plan to work with her in the future again to complete the design of the rest of my house. read more

Judy was wonderful. I had an idea for my kitchen that I wanted to visualize, but I just couldn't see it. I called Judy and asked for her opinion. She offered to come by and take a look and see what she can do for me. Judy was on-time, organized and very professional. She reviewed the area and gave her opinions and suggestions for the kitchen area. She sketched some ideas to help me visualize the concept I was trying to achieve. The quick sketches looked better than I could ever visualize. Later on that day she sent me a file with the sketches included. Now I can create a budget for this plan and move forward with my ideas. Thank you Judy for making the ideas come to life. read more

When Judy says she wants to satisfy her client 100%, she means it! After living in our home for 25 years and raising 3 children in it, it was time for a major overhaul!! Most importantly our kitchen and family room needed the most attention. We started there and I was SO impressed when Judy sat down during our first meeting and sketched out a design for the kitchen and family room. Judy knocked the socks off my contractor when he saw the design build plans. He didn't have to do anything to them for the permits. Judy is extremely organized and I hired her for the management of the project as well. Her communication skills are excellent and it was a relief for me to not have to deal with the problems that came up, which always do with a project this size. I absolutely love my my new kitchen and family room!! read more

Thanks a lot Judy for your work. Our whole family simply love it. Specially my daughters love working with you. It is a life time experience for them to work Desighner. read more

I recently had Judy work with me to replace furnishings and redesign a number of rooms in my house. She is very easy to work with, professional and has an uncanny ability to grasp a client's (at least this client's) personal taste and blend it with her own in suggesting selections of furnishings, room colors, etc. She runs on time, seems to always be available and has a good sense of humor, to boot. read more

I received an one hour consultation on how to design our bathroom and bedroom under budget from Judy. She knows her stuff. She's very knowledgeable about what color to choose and what I need to look out for in my renovation. She was able to guide me in where to get my counter tops, tiles, vanity, flooring. As a first timer in renovation, she was an tremendous help in getting my project started to completion. Because of her guidance, we were able to completely our project within budget! I would definitely seek her out for my next project! read more

I have to say we had a wonderful experience with Judy. She is the most professional person we have dealt with after interviewing 3 other designers. I see that a client gave her a one star review. I have to say after reading his review everything is false. It is not illegal to ask for 25% down if you are a designer. She is not a contractor so it is legal. I have to say Jack probably could not afford Judy so he had to give her a poor rating. So all i have to say is FUCK JACK!!!!!! read more

I must admit I never thought I'd ever reach out to someone for Interior design / functionality assistance. I had NO idea what to expect. I have a very tight budget and when she came to visit my home for a consultation, I was very impressed with her vision, her quick on the draw sketches (pieces of art alone!!!) and how her questions and direct feedback (as that's how I wanted it - cut to the chase!) resulted in a project idea that is totally doable in my time frame and budget I have to work with. It was the very catapult I needed to get inspired and motivated. Amazing!! read more

Even though I had never previously hired an interior designer, as soon as I met Judy I knew that she was the one to make our new house into a home. She is client-centered. Her priority is making my family happy. She is able to take such good care of us because she has spent the time to get to know us. Judy is full service from design to implementation. Flooring, walls, window treatments, furniture, décor- she does it all and on budget! I can't imagine doing this project without her. read more

I am a painting contractor and Judy and I had a mutual client that was updating the interior of their house. Judy was great to work with! Her communication and understanding of the trade were excellent and her re-design of the wall colors and furniture brought new life to the living space. I will most definitely recommend Judy to my clients that are looking for a professional and creative interior designer. read more

Judy engaged me and promptly cancelled the contract she signed with me. Many excuses - "I can't meet you because my phone is dead." Hard to get a hold of and communicate with. Ask for 25% down upfront - which is illegal. I told here I'd pay her when the 25% was completed. Makes an appointment with me and then when the time changes, delays it by one week. Don't waist your time with this flake. read more

Judy was great!! I so enjoyed working with her. She came up with a great design for re-purposing our front room. Her contractors executed her design for the new cabinetry/desks flawlessly. We're so happy with the results. I can't wait for another reason to work with Judy in the future. read more

Judy did an excellent job. She has been extremely patient, understanding and listened to our feedback. Overall extremely satisfied customer.

I have been working with Judy for 5 years. She has always put the clients needs first and really focused on their goals and priorities. Judy goes the extra mile to ensure the job is done right and that her clients are completely satisfied. Her professionalism is second to none. I would recommend Judy to anyone who is looking for a first class interior designer! read more

Having Judy as a part of our kitchen remodel planning made a huge difference and was a key element of a successful project. We had an idea in mind for the design but it was great to get her feedback in the planning stage. She made several suggestions that greatly improved the results. We also needed her guidance on material choice and she did a great job steering us away from some initial choices that would have made the space feel too busy. I'd recommend her- she is patient, thoughtful and professional. Her work made a big difference in our final outcome and we were very pleased. read more

Judy is amazing!! I reached out to her confused about my family room design and she was just amazing! She within an hour came up with two wonderful drawings right in my home while we spoke! Now that is service! I couldn't believe how quickly she drafted up two plans that were perfect in every way! She also provided me with paint color samples and a list of vendors as well as a link to furniture ideas. I absolutely will use Judy again and hope to have her for our kitchen remodel:) She is wonderful, professional and a pleasure to meet. read more

I have had positive experiences with designers in other states so I have some experience in this area. I had met with another designer at my previous home and was not impressed so when I moved into my current home, I was back on the hunt. I talked to designers who had up front minimum's on size of project which I didn't care for. Judy was willing to work with me regardless of my budget (which ended up being well over the minimum's the other designers had). Judy was attentive to our requests but politely discouraged or redirected some which would have derailed the overall look we were going for (which I clearly realize now). My style is fairly niche since I am not from here and although it wasn't a style she typically designs - she was able to flex and nailed the look. She was sensitive to things that were personal to us while still brining style to the room. One thing to realize is she is fairly particular when picking out furniture and accessories but when I saw the difference of the things she pointed out, I now notice it everywhere i go and her being particular is what made my room look great. She wants you to love your space and works hard to help you achieve it. read more
