From the moment we met Tess she was incredibly warm, easy to work with and knowledgeable. Her expertise in color was evident as she meticulously and effortlessly combined different hues to create a harmonious color palette and flow throughout my home. She took into consideration my personal style, the natural light, the elements of the home while thoughtfully curating options that were perfect! She took the process from overwhelming to fun and exciting. I would highly recommend Tess to anyone seeking to elevate their space with color.

Heidi and Rosita have been invaluable to my wife and I during the construction of our new…read morecondominium. They were there from the beginning and are still assisting us with the finishing touches. I can't imagine what we would have done without them. They are mindful of whatever budget you set, and are available to help out with as little or as much as you want or need. We can tell you from personal experience that they go above and beyond for their clients. As an added bonus, they also have connections with several local businesses (closet systems, blinds, carpets, custom cushions and pillows, etc.) who offer top quality products and are as professional and responsive as Heidi and Rosita are. We are extremely happy that we had the opportunity to work with Heidi and Rosita, and would highly recommend them to anyone considering doing so. You won't regret it!

I needed help for a modest kitchen renovation: new flooring and countertops, with a limited budget…read morefor design help. Rosita provided exactly what I needed. We met at a flooring store where she helped me select a small number of options that she thought would work with the existing cabinets and walls, then headed to a countertop store to find options that would work with the floor samples. I then took the samples home to see them in place, which clarified what looked best in the space. Rosita did exactly what I needed: provided the guidance to get me past the paralysis of being overwhelmed by too many choices, plus pointing me to some good floor and countertop retailers. She was great about working within my small budget, but stands ready to provide more help if needed.

I highly regret my decision to work with Decoraid and would urge friends or strangers against…read moreworking with them, and I feel personally taken advantage of. The final outcome took over 9 months and left 40% of the proposal unfilled with no payment back to me for missing services. My main feedback is that the process the firm runs is *incredibly* inefficient and leaves almost no opportunity for collaboration. The other is that the designers are basically just internet shoppers, with no connection to the things they're actually buying. With two in person meetings followed by a single proposal, there's basically no chance to actually get a good outcome. No one knows exactly what they want in the first meeting, and if they did they wouldn't need Decoraid. It takes working through options and figuring out what works well together. Neither designer I worked with (I was given a new designer after 4+ months of nothing happening with the first) used a pinterest board (something that seems super weird for an interior designer) that we could have collaborated through. Instead, they sent over single rug options without any context on other pieces that would fit with it. The reason I would pay someone $2,000 to help design a studio apartment would be for their creative spirit and perspective, and neither were proactive at all - basically just taking the things I wanted and googling them to find options. If you see a couch without pillows or a blanket, shouldn't she be calling out that I need that? Shouldn't she be architecting what to do with a blank 2 floor wall that's 20 feet wide? This seems to be a foundational expectation hearing about friends' experiences with other designers. The other missing aspect is that the designers used entirely cookie cutter options - only limited to West Elm, Crate and Barrel, and All Modern. Interior Designers are supposed to know more than you and do things you can't do in your own free time. They're supposed to have a good eye and be tuned in to off the beaten track options, visiting markets and fairs and hunting for good options. To be honest, they weren't even been good at the cookie cutter options - suggesting terribly uncomfortable itchy thin rugs, and couldn't find a Brass Mirror that was available to order which I found for myself within 10 minutes of looking. Of the first three items to arrive, I returned two of them because they didn't fit. With the amount of effort this took on my side and the time it's taken and the bad results it's yielded, along with no recourse for missing items from the initial proposal, I feel taken advantage of.

Money well invested! Decor Aid is literally my dream come true as it comes to home design. I've…read morealways wanted a well decorated home but I don't have the talent needed (so I wasted a lot of money throughout my life buying furniture that ultimately didn't go well with other items I already had) nor the money to pay tens of thousands for traditional interior designers to come decorate my home. Decor Aid allowed me to get the help I wanted for a very affordable price. My living room pieces are now arriving and I love the result. Because I live out in the suburbs in Boston, they did not have a person that could come to my home. However, they still helped me my putting me in contact with their NYC office (Meredith Cook was my designer, she's amazing) and we did all the work through skype/phone/email. It was very convenient. Meredith was very professional, responsive and patient (with the couple of times I changed my mind) and really tried to work with me in understanding my style before proposing a plan. I plan on using them again for the other rooms in my house.

This company is top-notch. I just had blackout Graber shades installed in my apartment living room…read more The top-down or bottom-up feature makes them super functional, and the blackout feature is important for a south-facing window in a high-rise building. Best of all is the company's service, embodied in salesman Robert Schlesinger. Rob has in-depth knowledge of his products and was instrumental in guiding my choice of design, materials, scheduling and installation. He followed up at every step and made sure everything was done, to a high standard, as I wished. This is remarkable because I only purchased one shade for one window. I was treated as if I were doing window treatments for an entire building. I made this purchase through COSTCO, but that is not required for the services of this company. Use them without reservation!

We cannot say enough good things about Spring Green Interior Design. We turned to Kathryn for…read moreadvice when blending households and she was exceptionally helpful, taking the time to get a sense of our tastes as individuals, then using our input to help us create a harmonious, welcoming home together. Kathryn was generous with her knowledge, such that we came away not only with recommendations, but with an understanding of the principles behind them. She answered our questions intelligently, then expanded into possibilities we hadn't even considered. We particularly appreciated the fact that she was sensitive to our budget, offering suggestions that could be implemented now as well introducing possible ideas for the future. While she has lovely taste and excellent instincts, Kathryn took care never to impose her ideas; instead, she offered guidance, then encouraged us to embrace the choices that spoke to us. She helped us with paint colors, furniture dimensions, traffic flow, lighting options, and all sorts of additional things -- from the small to the structural -- that we never would have known about. To top it all off, she was professional in every way, as well as a personal delight to work with. When it's time for our next interior design project, Spring Green Interior Design will be our first call.

If you're looking for high quality work and a solid knowledge base for all things stone, then see…read moreMona and her team of fabricators and installers. I finally made the decision to renovate my kitchen and found BSW on Angie's List and Houzz. From the beginning, Mona was patient and very knowledgeable. I started the process wanting carrera marble, but after going to the stone yard, Mona noticed that I was being repeatedly drawn to a quartzite (fantasy brown). I didn't even notice it until Mona pointed it out! So after I jumped into the bold (fantasy brown) and left the classic humdrum (carrera) behind, enter John and his team of installers. While templating, John even gave me suggestions on my choice of brackets for the floating counter. During the install day, the crew was friendly, professional, and quick! Even though there were slight modifications needed, which were explained to me in a clear manner, the install took less than 2 hours. I'm extremely happy with BSW and would recommend them to anyone!

Updating my previous review in 2025. I'm now a returning customer at Boston Stone Works and Mona is…read morestill awesome. I did a partial kitchen reno and needed to match the existing quartz counters that Mona's team installed last time. Ran into a problem: they didn't have any remnants in that color, and I'd have to purchase a whole slab just to match a little section. Mona came to the rescue! She offered me a remnant of a different color that she promised matches really really closely the original color. And since the new section was to be installed across from the old one (not contiguous), it would be very hard to tell. Sure enough, it worked out perfectly and Mona saved me a lot of money by finding a creative solution. Just like last time, I was doing this long distance without seeing anything in person. With contractors there is always drama or miscommunications, especially if you are not there to supervise. Not with Mona. Her reliability, attention to detail, and smart problem-solving in every project, no matter how small, give me total peace of mind. And the prices are still very reasonable, even years later! Thank you so much!

I recently hired Jessica Klein of Oh, I Design Studio to create and implement a design concept for…read moremy living area. It was a pleasure to work with Jessica and we are already in conversations to start Phase II of my renovation. As a new home owner, I was keen to decorate my condo, but found that I just had little time to do so with a demanding job and constant travel. Having never worked with a designer before, Jessica quickly put my mind at ease. During our consultation, Jessica not only got a sense for what I was looking for, but answered my never ending list of questions. As I was traveling during the bulk of the design process, Jessica took complete control of ordering products, managing deliveries, and ultimately installing the space. I couldn't be more pleased to come home after a month-long trip to such a beautiful and inviting space.

So I had these very expensive Duponi silk London shades (like a fancier version of Roman shades) I…read morepurchased for my very big, very tall windows in the Back Bay ten years ago....the cords on the shades finally gave out, so I went back to the original company. They don't make the shades anymore, and they sent me these AWFUL replacements that were like brown paper bags. I felt like I had dressed a beautiful bride in a garbage bag! Cut to five months later, after so much searching for drapery repair--everyone else said no--I finally found Yelena at Design and Thread. I sent her photos of the original drapes, and she said she could repair them. Not only did she repair them, her installer came and put them back up in under an hour, and then Yelena came herself to my home to make sure the cords were working and arrange the drapes so they looked BETTER THAN EVER. My windows are back in their original dress and I could not be more grateful to Yelena and her crew! She is a magician and an angel....and honestly so soulful too; she and her husband invited me into her home when I brought the drapes to be repaired, and I feel I have new friends. I admire her greatly! If you have big old historical windows--or any need for respectful, ingenious decor design in an historic district, look no further. Yelena is your woman. SO GRATEFUL! PS, Yelena and her installer were masked the whole time they were in my home and whenever we met. I asked her to take off her mask for a minute to snap this photo so you can see who you'll be working with!
