Customers say: Quality work

"I recently worked with Design X Architects on a tenant improvement (TI) project. We encountered several difficulties with the city that required design changes that I did not want to make. Design X was able to fight for what I wanted and get it through as is. They have a deep understanding of city codes and zoning, which enabled them to argue back to the city and make our vision a reality. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an architect."

"I worked with Denise to remodel a bathroom and am very happy with the results. Denise helped us design changes to the bathroom and coordinated a reliable contractor. She sourced the material we needed and presented different sample options, which made choosing them simple. She handled the ordering and kept us updated on timing and delivery throughout the process. The design is beautiful and fits our home perfectly and the quality of work is exceptional. I highly recommend Denise, as she listened to what we wanted and helped us create an amazing result. She listens, manages the moving parts and is great at communicating! Denise is an excellent choice and I plan on using her in future projects."

"Peter was pleasant and clean in body and in work - he removed his shoes before coming in the house each time he went in or out. He was a half hour late arriving but he did call to let us know. I rated him low on the money scale because he was here ten minutes and fixed the problem however, his price was $100 for the call regardless so I couldn t argue but because I am a senior I thought he may have given me a break as he was here for so short a time. It won t stop me having him back to fix another problem."

Residential Design FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, pros can match styles and finishes to align seamlessly with your home.

While the terms 'interior designer' and 'interior decorator' are often used interchangeably, they represent distinct professions with some overlapping work. The primary difference lies in the scope of their projects.

An interior decorator focuses on the aesthetics of a space, making less permanent decisions about decor. Their work involves selecting colors, fabrics, furniture, wall art, paint, and other finishes to 'dress' a room and enhance its style.

An interior designer has a broader scope that includes a decorator's aesthetic focus but also extends to the structural and functional aspects of a space. Designers are qualified to plan layouts, make structural changes, and manage overall functionality. They handle permanent decisions regarding fixtures like cabinets and bathtubs, establish floor plans, and may hire contractors.

Due to the technical skills required, interior designers typically have formal education, certification, and may hold a license, which can result in higher fees. As a general rule, it is best to hire an interior designer for major remodeling projects and an interior decorator for projects focused on establishing or refreshing a home's interior style.

Yes, many systems can include zoning to customize heating in different areas. Confirm with your contractor.

Designers optimize space, improve aesthetics, and recommend durable, high-quality materials.

Yes, most designers tailor plans to fit your budget. Discuss financial constraints during initial consultations.
