The pricing at Girard Interiors is overly complex and highly inflated. No one there can give me a…read morestraight or consistent response on pricing and they find every way possible to up-charge. Their business practice is to tack on additional fees to already high prices. For example, they charge significant penalties for using fabric not bought directly through them, high delivery fees, additional charges for foam and any material used, credit card fees, etc. Where they can take advantage of any opportunity to maximize price, they do. What's worst, though, is that many of these penalties and fees are not even revealed until after it's too late to back out. The way they conduct business is shady and leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

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 very happy with my decision to use Affordable Interior Design and with Stephanie, the designer…read moreI worked with. First, the design questionnaire was excellent - especially for someone like me who doesn't know much about interior design. It was able to identify my design preferences by showing different living rooms and asking which ones were to my liking. In addition, its questions served as a great preparation for the home visit, so Stephanie came well prepared for our meeting. Stephanie was very creative, professional, and helpful throughout the process. When she visited my place, we decided on a design together, in an efficient process, where she was able to translate my needs and preferences to interior design decisions and furniture choices. After two weeks, she assembled a furniture shopping list, within the budget I requested. I purchased all items she suggested. The furniture items were sourced from many furniture stores and I felt she did an excellent job finding items that were beautiful, fit the overall design, and reasonably priced. I get nothing but compliments about my place (even from my Architect friend who is quite stingy with design related complements...). Well done Stephanie! As to the cost-effectiveness of the service - had I done this process myself (even with friends help), I would have surely spent more time, more money, getting worse results. Finally, the service was well structured and transparent. Good stuff overall.

From the initial call with Megan, my time with Stephanie (my designer), the shopping service and ultimately, the design outcome of my spaces - I am so happy with the value and service I received. Everyone was super responsive and willing to help. And the most important part... the design! Stephanie took all my parameters in mind (designing around my dog (durable fabrics and rugs), affordability, aesthetic, color preferences, etc.) and came up with the most gorgeous living/dining/entry and bedroom designs. I could have never come up with the design myself and I know she saved me hours of analysis paralysis, shopping, measuring and questioning my own decisions. And on the first try! I had no changes to her initial design. I'm in love and contemplating using them for the rest of the house! Thank you Affordable Interior Design and your team!!

Allison spent a good amount of time learning about us, our interests, our house, our lifestyle, our preferences and was able to quickly to pull together an overall ensemble that reflects who we are. We had been struggling with onesie-twosie choices and purchases without seeing the overall picture of the place. We are so happy with the design that Allison has created for us, within our tight budget. This was the best birthday present to myself. Allison hit the nail on the head and I didn't even know where to put the nail in my apartment! I also like that Allison was available for four more questions after the phone call, because there were a few more items that we needed to confirm.

Yuri, who I believe is one of the owners, was incredible to work with. The measurements were spot on, the craftsmanship was top-notch, and the attention to detail was exceptional -- the kind of quality that truly elevates the finished product. A few years ago, we used a different upholstery company in Ossining that unfortunately ruined our furniture (they'll remain nameless). It was a costly lesson that sometimes you really do get what you pay for. With Ella's Design Studio, you get the best -- skilled work, professionalism, and beautiful results. Highly recommended!
