I already…read morehad some ideas before we started working together and she was wonderful truly listening to the things I wanted and incorporating them into her ideas. 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.

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!

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.

Fan-tastic. I kinda…read morefelt weird about hiring a designer for my space, but I'm glad I did. Use What You Have basically helps you rearrange what you have into a better layout, then offers options for further customization on your own. They'll help you move furniture, go through catalogs, look online, and just be really collaborative in the design process. I pretty much hated all of my furniture, so we didn't do too much rearranging (besides for placeholding purposes), but we spent a ton of time going over purchasing options. In the end, we put together a full design plan for each area of the space, with specific pieces to model against or just buy right out. I worked with Tracy, one of their senior designers, but they only charged me the junior designer rate, which was nice. She was great to work with, and even dealt with my large, overly-nosy pit bull like a champ. And she bought me lunch. Price-wise, expect $350 for a standard sized room, $700 for a "double" room. I did almost my entire loft for about $1200 including travel fees to Brooklyn. I was hoping to get lucky and do the whole thing for $350, but they do measure, and they stick to their fee schedule pretty closely. Whatever though, it was well worth it for what I wanted.

Designer Lauri…read moreWard gave me fantastic referrals to upholsterers, cabinet makers, window treatments, lighting, etc. The best part was the quality of the people doing the work as well as their prices. When my husband and I recently moved into a new apartment it was a no brainer to contact Lauri Ward again. Two weeks ago, Lauri came to my apartment and created a plan for each room. Her suggestions were simple, practical and elegant, which was just what we wanted. I am implementing the plan confidently and am so grateful for being able to let go of the stress of redesigning on a limited budget. Being a novice in the world of interior design requires assistance and Lauri Ward's has been invaluable! I unconditionally recommend Lauri's firm for any redecorating project. The clearly written costs stated upfront will ease any concern about getting in over your head. Decorating mistakes can be costly, so it's worth consulting an expert upfront. Good luck on your project!

I've collected Jonathan Adler furniture for years, and my home is predominantly furnished with…read moretheir pieces -- so it's especially disappointing to write this review. I ordered a sofa that arrived in an open, poorly taped box, with visible damage and a foot-long tear in the bottom lining of the sofa. It was clearly mishandled and poorly packaged from the start. The situation was made worse by the lack of urgency or accountability from customer service. I had to follow up multiple times to get a refund, and there was no apology or acknowledgment of the condition the item arrived in. Even more concerning: while the website sometimes labels certain pieces as "final sale," the reality is that all furniture is final sale, whether it's marked that way or not. This policy is not clearly disclosed at checkout and feels intentionally misleading -- especially when you're spending thousands of dollars on large, made-to-order items. This is not the level of transparency, service, or quality I expect from a brand that markets itself as luxury. After this experience, I'll be looking at other brands. I no longer trust Jonathan Adler to deliver on their promise of quality or stand behind what they sell.

So many great furniture stores in the area to choose from, you really should treat a JA Insider better and not cause me to shop elsewhere.
