DO NOT use AC Design! Aisha Coleman started a 150k project for me in march of 2023 and couldn't be…read morereached after November 2023. She drew up plans and it was mostly executed, however she disappeared in January of 2024. After weeks and months of trying to get in contact with no response I had no choice but to go to her office. She was not there or responding so the building doorman called her while overheard the conversation and she immediately claimed she was unavailable. I eventually was able to speak with her and she claimed she would reach out after her "meeting ". She took my initial deposit and ran with it all $68,000. I live in New Rochelle and thought after doing research she would be a good fit but I was grossly mistaken and I was taken full advantage of and my law suit is pending. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

AC Design worked on two residential projects for us. The first was a kitchen and 2 bathrooms in our…read moreBklyn condo. We were extremely pleased with the design and contractors. It was our first time changing a kitchen and I was getting overwhelmed. Aisha provided support with selecting the granite (came with me to the quarry in NJ), managed the project to ensure timely completion, provided space saving options. When we moved into a house and wanted to renovate the extremely dated kitchen, we did not think twice about engaging AC for the project. Integrity, sensitivity to our budget, familiarity with design trends, and ability to handle architectural challenges (we wanted an open concept) AC Design delivered!

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.

Nicole is a joy to work with. She understands how to combine beautiful with practical. She listens and immediately got what I was looking for. I am not a person who can deal with 1000 choices so she is great at narrowing things down for me. She is cost conscious and her prices are very reasonable for such high quality work. Everyone she has recommended - wallpaper hanger, hanging window treatments etc - has been great. This place is a gem.

Nicole is lovely to work with, as is everyone else there. I love that her father started the business as an upholsterer and that it is a local, independently owned business. Nicole has a huge selection of fabrics and great taste. She works around your requests nicely, yet has good suggestions. Nicole will also come to your home. Their pricing is very fair and competitive.

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.

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.

The Design MACS team were so accommodating and flexible as our project grew. It was a great experience. Laura
