I'm going back there today for more samples. They even have a designer on staff who I personally didn't meet, but my wife thought very highly of. She referred to her as the paint lady.

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.

I worked with Kate at Sandalwood Design when I recently moved from Manhattan to Darien, CT. I…read moredidn't think that I needed the help of an interior designer but I am so glad that I reached out. Kate knew exactly what size furniture pieces fit where and helped me to lay out my living room to improve the flow and overall feel of the room. She picked up on things I wouldn't have thought of on my own (add more curtain panels, table behind the couch!) and helped me really turn this new house into a home. Working with her was a wonderful experience. She worked within my budget and gave me a variety of choices with different price points. Also, she took into consideration that anything we chose had to be child-friendly (durable and safe). She's a mother too and gets what it's like to balance having a nice home with the reality of children and pets. I wasn't sure what working with a designer would be like but this couldn't have gone more smoothly. Highly recommended!
