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

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.

After attending a staging presentation by Lori (Spaces That Speak) at my local library, I…read moreimmediately set up an appointment for her to come to my house for a 2 hour ($300) consultation. Working with Lori was a very positive, pleasant and helpful experience. Her suggestions led to immediate improvements in the spaces I knew needed the most help -- advising which items to relocate or remove from a room, as well as changes to the color of the walls. She was very considerate of my own opinion and at all times, remained friendly and attentive to our needs. Lori's suggestions prompted me to make easy, inexpensive changes (the painting of the walls being the most expensive, but also making the biggest impact). After the painting and spending my own time rearranging things throughout our home, I asked Lori back to help with the final placement of some odds and ends. Again, her recommendations were spot on. She worked quickly and methodically, and I know that the money I spent on her services were well worth it. Our house went on the market today and I am confident it looks welcoming, spacious and beautiful! I highly recommend Lori as a professional home stager.

Our first meeting with Ron was great. He toured our place, took photos and wrote some notes. Our next meeting was at his design studio. He presented us with the furniture layout and gave us his suggestions on what furniture and fabrics would go together. From start to finish our place came together within four months since furniture and other items were custom made. Working with Ron was such a pleasure. He is professional, has excellent customer service and really wanted us to be happy (if we weren't sure about something he wasn't pushy and if we weren't happy he would do everything he could to make things right)!

Jim is very detailed and each week during renovation, we had him manage the project with the contractor to ensure the final output was done properly. Most Manhattan apartments are not symmetrical, so the early stage on doing things a certain way goes a long way on the final look. He understands plumbing, and electrical well to communicate to our contractors. He referred us to a HVAC engineer. When it came to interior design, we had Sarah who provided feedback and suppliers information. She was also very helpful. Jim knows the DOB process well and helped us resolved many issues even during covid and DOB rule changed in 2020 and 2021. We also had him manage the project with the contractors. The contractors don't have the same design eyes and were a bit sloppy and forgetful so it was imperative to have Jim help us. Urban charges by the hour and provided an accurate estimate of the cost. Make sure what projects he's working on so he can allocate time properly. In the beginning with the design drawing schematic, it took a while cause he was on a couple of brownstone projects but overall still have a very positive experience with Jim. He was responsive.
