It was a very collaborative experience and James and Karen were with us every step of the way--like when our first pick for cabinets suddenly went out of stock, they helped us regroup and recover.

But recently, on moving to yet another new city, I finally decided to make an effort, and I reached out to Dami. She understands how to organize and decorate a living space in a way that will completely transform its energy. In my case, I didn't realize how my sparsely decorated apartment was a constant, stressful reminder of my nomadic ways. She had creative ideas for how to display the art I had, and she pointed me to stores where I could find just the right rugs and furniture -- all at a reasonable price. She mentioned early on that she's partial to a sleek, minimalist approach, but she brings in plants and flowers to ensure the space is still lush and lively, not cold and austere in the way of some minimalist designs. I also appreciated how adaptable she is -- we discussed how much I wanted to spend in our first consultation, as well as my budget for furniture, fixtures and wall decor. Then she shared some initial ideas for moving furniture around, creating a gallery wall... and we were off! Honestly, I find decorating to be so daunting; there are so many choices! It was such a relief to let her take this off my hands. That alone was well worth her fee. But of course I feel the value every single day, because I find it's so much easier to relax and decompress after a stressful day. And the compliments I get from visitors are a nice bonus, too. I've recommended Inside Voice to friends who have been just as pleased.

During regular business hours for the business on the first floor, in front, you have to go through their space to get to the stairs to get up. Confusing, I know, but, if you are looking to improve the feel and/or look of your home, worth the effort. They now focus on the design component so the wonderful smelling candles, Christmas decorations, Halloween decorations, accessories, and beautiful gifts are all history. Hours are now Monday through Friday, 10 to 5. Other hours by appointment.

They were in full Christmas splendor when I visited and I found some really nice things that I doubt I could have found anywhere else. The people there could not have been nicer and the prices reasonable. If you like something other than run-of-the-mill retail shops, this is the place for you. They may not have exactly what you're looking for, but if you are looking for ideas, they'll have them.

Felicia sketched out ideas I never would have dreamed of. It was really helpful to make decisions based on the 3D design she created.

She got to know my design aesthetic and took it to the next level. When we were discussing the vision for my masculine primary bedroom, and she said, "picture a Donna Karen pinstripe suit," I knew she hit the nail on the head. It turned out better than I could have imagined. She took into account a couple of existing pieces I wanted to keep, and worked very hard to stay within my budget. The end result was amazing! During my housewarming party, everyone commented on how beautiful the whole home was. Felicia is an absolute delight to work with- organized, personable, friendly and fun. Five+ stars!

I highly recommend Paulina Hughes Design…read more I reached out to her to have our planters designed for our house and she is extremely kind, easy going and very talented. She listened to my thoughts and was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. I've enjoyed working with her and have already reached out to get her help with some design work for our house since I want to have a more cohesive look and not waste anymore money buying something that I will change in a few months. She's extremely mindful of our budget and understands our needs and is extremely respectful of our crazy household. I look forward to her help and working with her going forward. Thank you Paulina!

I originally inquired about a onetime consultation since my floor plan was done and contractor was already hired. I was advised that I needed more of Gaby's time since it was such a large project. I was renovating my primary bedroom, adding a primary bath, closet and bathroom to my historic home. The quality of Gaby's work is excellent however she is a terrible communicator and spent our money recklessly. She spent hours on drawings that I did not need and charged me thousands of dollars. I trusted her because she came recommended and this was the first time, I had done a project like this. When I asked my contractor about his communication with Gaby, he had very minimal. I asked him about the drawings she did and said he did not need any drawings, that he and I had covered all the specifics. I immediately let Gaby know that the drawings she charged me for were not needed and she refused to give my money back. She did these drawings without asking anyone if they were needed. She then gave me a hard time about giving me my retainer back. I also overheard her talking negatively about some of my choices when she failed to hang up after our zoom call. Gaby was completely unprofessional, and I feel betrayed and scammed. Do not use this designer if you want someone you can trust, communicate with and feel respected.
