I'll be honest-we were pretty overwhelmed at the thought of doing a full makeover for our home. We…read moreknew we wanted a total makeover for our place, but trying to find a team that actually handles the 'boots on the ground' construction side and the high-end design is way harder than it looks. After talking to a few different firms, Kanika Design just felt like the right fit. Kanika really listened to what we wanted. I've always been a bit nervous about using bold colors, but she pushed us (in a good way!) for a deeper color palette in the main living areas. It looks incredible. Kanika found us so many unique, high-quality furniture pieces that you just won't find at a big-box store. The biggest thing for us was logistics. Once the design process completed, their team handled everything - architectural, permit headache, and construction. Anyone who has done a remodel knows things never go 100% perfectly, but whenever an issue popped up, they were on top of it immediately. They kept the contractors moving and kept us updated on the budget and what was happening next. It's a relief to finally be done after 2 years and have a home that feels like us but way better. I can't recommend Kanika and her team enough. We're still obsessed with how everything turned out.

Maureen is absolutely exceptional -- we could not have found a better designer for our renovation…read more We worked with her on two bathrooms (guest and primary) as well as our primary bedroom, with all construction happening while we were away traveling, and the experience could not have been smoother. We loved partnering with Maureen on the design. She made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free, helping us bring our vision to life while elevating it in ways we couldn't have done on our own. For every decision, whether it was shower tiles or cabinetry wood, she presented us with a thoughtfully curated set of options, saving us from hours of researching online and in-store. She also provided invaluable guidance on where to invest and where to be more cost-efficient, all without ever compromising on quality. I also cannot emphasize enough how incredible Maureen's eye for design is along with her ability to tailor her recommendations and the design to your personal style and goals. During the renovation, we were traveling internationally and so Maureen managed the overall project, sharing regular updates and photos. We're incredibly grateful we trusted Maureen with our home and are thrilled (though not surprised) that the end result was perfect and exceeded all expectations. We recommend her without hesitation and would absolutely work with her again.

We started our home project with nothing more than a rough idea of what things were important to…read moreus. We wanted clean lines, modern yet still warm and livable, neutral & timeless. I met Pam, and on the spot, knew she was the right person to work with. Pam asked all the right questions and listened to what we wanted in our dream home. She completely understood our vision, thought of every little detail, and didn't overlook any aspect of the project that we felt was important. The level of detail and thoroughness when it came to how the spaces were designed really showed Pam and Erwin's level of expertise. Pam and Erwin had our dreams, vision, and best interest in mind. From the initial space planning for the kitchen and master bathroom, the layout of slabs, tile and cabinetry, selection of all the finish materials, colors, fixtures and hardware, they were very professional to work with. Details matter to us, and their attention to detail is apparent in our finished home. They referred excellent vendors and suggested the best, high end and quality finishes and materials. Most importantly, Pam and Erwin's work ethics are unbeatable, and they made sure we got everything we wanted on our checklist. From start to finish, the design process went smoothly, and the meetings and discussions were fun and productive. We gave them the creative freedom and trusted their design process and vision and our kitchen and bathroom remodel designs are masterpieces. We were so pleased with the quality of their work that we asked for Pam's help to furnish our house. Every room was beautifully designed with an understated sense of elegance and in tune with the architecture and surroundings. Pam's sense of style and her vision has positively impacted our quality of life as we enjoy her work every day. We are very grateful that we were able to work with Pam and Erwin. Our house would have not been the same without their creativity and vision.

She insisted on working with her 'team'. Mind you this is a former Google employee who has no formal training in design and fewer interpersonal skills. I've had better service at the USPS than with UD. In her response below she attempts to imply UD turned me down. The reality is she forced the issue of working with her contractor. Duh, who is footing the bill here Pamela? My contractor recommended the architect who recommended UD; and you attempt to commandeer the entire process by forcing the removal of the client's contractor? Recommendation: Avoid. Highly inflexible, domineering owner.

A Masterful Designer & Project Manager - Highly Recommend!…read more After experiencing severe water damage in our kitchen, we initially set out to remodel just that space. However, as we got deeper into the process, we quickly realized how overwhelming it was without a designer. What started as a kitchen renovation soon expanded into a full home transformation--kitchen, bathrooms, family, living, and dining rooms--all of which desperately needed an update from their original 1992 construction. After months of searching and interviewing designers, we found Alina Druga Interiors. My wife was especially drawn to her award-winning designs, and after glowing reference checks, we confidently hired her for both the design and project management phases. From the very beginning, Alina brought a sense of clarity and structure to what had been a chaotic and overwhelming process. One of Alina's greatest strengths is her ability to ask the right questions to truly understand her clients' style and needs. She introduced us to ideas we would never have considered, while also being straightforward and honest about what would or wouldn't work--and, more importantly, why. She has a gift for refining ideas into something cohesive, tasteful, and elegant. Beyond her impeccable design skills, Alina is extremely detail-oriented and proactive. She spotted potential construction issues early on, saving us from costly mistakes. Her detailed CAD drawings were invaluable in helping us visualize the design and made things significantly smoother for our contractor. Thanks to her meticulous planning and years of experience, the entire process was well-organized--so by the time construction began, every material, appliance, and detail was already accounted for. While the preparation process took about a year, the actual construction went remarkably smoothly and was completed in just four months. Now, every time we walk through the door, we feel happy and relaxed in our beautifully designed home. It truly feels like the house we've wanted for years--our happy place! Alina's expertise, organization, and eye for design transformed our home into something modern, inviting, and perfectly suited to our lifestyle. If you are looking for a designer who is not only talented but also an exceptional project manager, we highly recommend Alina Druga Interiors!

We worked with Alina for a complete renovation of the full interior of our home, and we often say…read morethat we could not have achieved the incredible results without her. We worked with her from design all the way to full implementation. In early stages, she worked with us to explore floor plan options and designed a space to align to our needs and family life that was beyond anything I could have done on my own. She works with a great network of trusted and capable vendors to get our remodel done. Lastly, her focus on detail and prompt communication made us have full confidence that the renovation was going to get done properly. We can't thank Alina enough for all she did for us, and highly recommend her as an advisor and partner for anyone who is about to dive into a renovation.

Marble Home Renovations -- they are THE partner. I have absolutely no regrets working with this…read moreincredible team. Archana is with you throughout the entire process, beginning to the very end, transitioning your house to the most comforting home. If you are on the fence, DO IT. She will work with you, and it will work out, and you will be so, so happy. Let's get into the nitty gritty (bear with me, it's a long one) - Archana is everything you could wish for in a designer, supporting your every need, every step of the way. She is creative, patient, understanding, communicative, authentically kind, and most importantly - she loves what she does. For my project, I needed some serious help with my dining room. I was at my wit's end. As you can tell in my before photos, this was a hopeless home project for me. I painted it an awful blue thinking I could do something fun with that and a hodge-podge of very random pieces scattered around thinking that would tie it together lol. What I wanted: A room for gathering with friends/family and a room I could casually lounge - with comforting, warm, inviting vibes. To start, Archana came over and spent about an hour with me - taking measurements, photos, asking questions, understanding my needs. Transparently, I didn't make this easy and came to Archana with a difficult task - after a very unfortunate surprise renovation, I had a lower budget to work with. And to make matters even more challenging I owned random mismatched furniture I didn't want to get rid of because it was either functional or important inherited pieces (dining table/benches/etc.). The cherry on top? A home built in 1906 - well over 100 years old, so a lot of aged nuances to the house with textures and wainscoting. A few challenges to say the least. Outside of my restrictive budget, I tried to give her the space she needed to work her magic. Now, gathering the furniture and decor. One thing I really appreciated about Archana is how communicative she is. She'll work with you on your preferred method - I personally preferred text. She is constantly asking me questions and sending me pieces to look at and for feedback. No pressure on responses and I reply when I have the chance to. I am frustratingly indecisive and always sharing new ideas, pivoting from a direction we thought we were going to a completely different one. She welcomed all new ideas, while still considering the big picture and staying focused. She will also ask for your preferred purchasing method. I preferred ordering the main, big pieces in case there were any issues I wanted to be the one that had my name on the order. Everything shipped to my house. Because of my low budget - she found great, affordable pieces at Homegoods, Marshall's and Ikea and sent me receipts with all her purchases for reimbursement. Those came with her on set-up day. Everything was organized and there were no surprises. I think I was pretty quick in decision making and we weren't making any structural changes. I told her my timeline isn't rushed, maybe a month. But... in TWO WEEKS we had everything we needed to complete the project!!! She said I had a pretty easy project. But still, TWO. WEEKS. Insane. She came over with her partner and spent a full Saturday/Sunday to assemble, set up, and ultimately - reveal. The biggest task was the wallpaper. Extra (extreme) labor was involved with cutting, fitting, and adhering - this was quite the significant task and major, major kudos to the power duo for installing this and how freaking amazing it turned out!!! Finally, the reveal - and love that she offers this!! I had a friend hangout at the house while I was out doing some family things. Then I came back and it was time for the reveal.... ... Speechless, in love and awe of the dining room that was and now is. Everything was of course what I expected, but it all came together beautifully. Her finishing touches were absolute perfection. The wallpaper, the decor, the reading nook - I mean are you kidding me?! To see the vision come to life - the care, the love that she puts into her work. I am so incredibly grateful for her and am so happy that I worked with this team. From her kind personality, her style, her patience, her vision - absolutely zero regrets. It's only been a couple days, but now every time I enter this room - I feel a sense of comfort and happiness. FINALLY. Thank you again Marble Home Renovations for everything you are and everything you do.
