I am very happy with my decision to use Affordable Interior Design and with Stephanie, the designer…read moreI worked with. First, the design questionnaire was excellent - especially for someone like me who doesn't know much about interior design. It was able to identify my design preferences by showing different living rooms and asking which ones were to my liking. In addition, its questions served as a great preparation for the home visit, so Stephanie came well prepared for our meeting. Stephanie was very creative, professional, and helpful throughout the process. When she visited my place, we decided on a design together, in an efficient process, where she was able to translate my needs and preferences to interior design decisions and furniture choices. After two weeks, she assembled a furniture shopping list, within the budget I requested. I purchased all items she suggested. The furniture items were sourced from many furniture stores and I felt she did an excellent job finding items that were beautiful, fit the overall design, and reasonably priced. I get nothing but compliments about my place (even from my Architect friend who is quite stingy with design related complements...). Well done Stephanie! As to the cost-effectiveness of the service - had I done this process myself (even with friends help), I would have surely spent more time, more money, getting worse results. Finally, the service was well structured and transparent. Good stuff overall.

I've been working with Angela for about six months now while she has transformed my studio with an alcove bedroom into a one-bedroom apartment. The work she has done has already increased the value of my apartment - double of what my renovation budget was. Angela is extremely knowledgeable and when she couples her knowledge with her talent, magic happens! Angela has been such a pleasure to work with during what most people would consider a daunting time, which is exactly what I was expecting. To my surprise and delight, Angela made the entire project easy and pleasant - yes, pleasant! She's fast, diligent, kind and a true professional who operates with ethics and fairness. Her ultimate goal all the way through the project was to ensure that I was satisfied with the options she provided. Angela worked professionally and harmoniously with my contractor. The contractor mentioned to me that it's not always appreciated when an interior designer is involved in a renovation project because many times they don't take the time to understand the structural needs of the home - he was impressed with Angela and enjoyed working with Angela as well. She showed the same respect and professionalism to him and together a beautiful home was created - my home. I've worked with other interior designers and no one has come close to Angela on all levels!! Her patience with me and my lack of interior designing knowledge was yet another great aspect. If there's one aspect that I must boast about in this review, it's that she truly listens and cares - she proved that over and over! Angela, is a top-notch professional and a class-act woman who will not disappoint.

No project ever feels like a repeat of the last; each one is completely unique, tailored, and thoughtfully designed. She has this incredible ability to blend functionality with beauty in a way that feels effortless. Working with her is always inspiring, always fun, and always rewarding.

Jim knows how to preserve historic details while bringing the design into the modern era in a tasteful, classic way. He exudes calmness and wisdom and is a pleasure to be around. Full disclosure in that I ultimately had to choose a less experienced architect because Jim's fee, although completely reasonable given his level of skill and expertise, was a bit out of our price range.

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.
