I loved Affordable Interior Design so much I used it twice. I worked with Betsy both times - first…read moremoving into a one bedroom from a studio and getting all new furniture, then moving into a new one bedroom with a totally different layout and re-using as much as possible. As a bachelor without design sense it was one of the best investments I could have made. It saved me so much time and anxiety about which pieces to pick and every single person who has visited has been amazed by how nicely decorated my apartment is. The process is exactly as described by other reviewers - introductory call, questionnaire, in home visit, and follow up call a week or two later with a mood board and shopping list. Betsy was incredibly personable and easy to talk to. I was also impressed with how much her suggestions matched my style even though I didn't have the vocabulary to communicate it. Everything fit within my constraints and preferences and Betsy helped with follow up questions and suggestions as pieces came in and as I decided to swap out a few pieces.

I've been working with Carol from Avenue Design Group for a while now and she has helped me update…read morethe rooms in my home and create a beautiful flow from room to room. She is someone who pays attention to detail and will point out things to me that I never knew to consider. She has a great eye for design and will work with you to create a room with the look you want. She cares deeply about her work and takes a personal interest in her clients. She wants each room to look perfect and also to reflect her client's vision. Carol is great with color and will deliberate between different shades of white when I never even knew there was a difference. But it does always make a difference when she chooses the color and it's just right. She has helped me order a custom sofa that fit exactly into a small space and found me the perfect TV console to fit in my small room. She has great resources and works with very talented people. She has helped me with window treatments and rugs that work in each room. She arranged for my vintage dining room table and chairs to be refinished and helped me choose the chair covers and stain for the table to coordinate with the rest of the room. She also took my old dresser and had it refinished and then transformed my guest room to coordinate with it in style and color. Carol is so easy to work with and she is incredibly knowledgeable. She communicates regularly and always follows up. The best part is that she educates as she works with you and doesn't judge you. She will listen to you and then make suggestions and explain why she makes those suggestions. She is also very aware of budget and will work within your budget to create the look you want. I can't say enough good things about Carol. She is easy to work with, has great ideas and resources and really knows her business. I will definitely call Carol for my next project!

So I was glad to find Allison and learn that she got her start with one of those firms. She came over to my apartment in Battery Park and, after taking a quick look around, gave me a lot of helpful design tips to fill the space. She listened to my budget needs and was able to accommodate both my style and budget when picking out furniture. As an interior designer, she has access to great discount prices I would not have been able to get if I had gone shopping myself. She also recommended a great housekeeper I now use regularly!

One…read moreday, our contractor gave us the number for Meredith (owner of Merri Interiors) and thank goodness he did! Meredith came to the house for the initial consultation and took measurements of the room. She pointed out a couple of issues we should think about before we closed up our walls and she was spot on. Within days she had a layout for our kitchen. The plans were beyond what I could've ever imagined. When it came to picking out cabinets, hardware, counters etc., she took the jumbled mess that was in my mind and put it into perfect perspective and gave me the kitchen of my dreams. Meredith is like the energizer bunny - give her your ideas and let her go. She is extremely responsive and I never once had to wait for an answer from her. She is both incredibly talented and very organized with what seems like a never ending wealth of knowledge. Nailed everything to the last inch.

There are so many choices, colours, textures and prices on everything. I did not have a huge budget for an interior designer, but they worked with me and went above and beyond the hours I bought. I was able to bounce my ideas and options off them and get experienced advice and suggestions. Working with LGC was the enjoyable part of the renovation. I learnt so much thru their insights. I would not enjoy the finished product as much if it wasn't for them. Lori is great at what she does and is good people.
