"I absolutely loved working with this team! They provided practical advice on interior design for my apartment in Brooklyn and I couldnâ t be happier. They were prompt, friendly, and most importantly very professional. I will be coming back to them for any/all future design/decoration projects and highly recommend them to you as well!"

"I was matched with Lily in the site after requesting assistance with design services following remodeling work in our townhouse. Lily is fantastic to work with. We engaged with her both on an hourly consulting basis and for a design project to lay out our main level. The personal service, her availability, and above all her design were phenomenal. The highly interactive process allowed Lily to really get to understand my personal style and inspiration and reflect that back in the ultimate design she presented. In everything from floor layout to furniture, light fixture accessory selection to paint colors and the flow through the whole space to tie it all together, we couldnâ t be more pleased. Her Zbox option is a really unique approach that was both cost effective and perfect for what we needed, and also highly detailed, thorough and personal. She really â gotâ the style and feel we were trying to achieve without knowing how to get there ourselves. Iâ ve already shared her name and contact information with 5 different colleagues and friends. I highly recommend working with Lily!"

"My initial plan was to modernize my home but I wasn’t sure where to start and what to do, but after consulting with Alvaro Pardo and KREA Designs, he designed new finishes and proposed a full renovation project tailored to my budget. It took me some time to warm up to the idea of making bigger changes, but he was incredibly patient throughout the process. I renovated my bedroom, bathroom, living room and made small changes in the hall and kitchen. His contractors were kind, professional, and respectful, especially Harold Mendez, his carpenter, who created elegant and customized furnitures. Alvaro kept me updated about the progress of the renovation and took care of everything, so I didn’t have to worry, but consulting me any changes or last minute decisions. He was also very open to feedback, including suggestions from my family. I’m very happy with the results, and my place now looks modern and cozy. I would recommend KreA to anyone without hesitation."

Residential Design FAQs, answered by experts

Mid-century modern design focused primarily on two things: simple, functional furniture, often with geometric shapes, and specific color palettes that included earth tones and what we’d today call retro colors. Furniture often blended different materials, like teak or oak wood, with vinyl, metal, and glass. Common mid-century modern paint colors included browns, reds, burnt oranges, yellows, aqua greens, and whites.

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

There are many projects you can invest in that will make your home more accessible. On a theme of lifts, installing an exterior home elevator or wheelchair lift is another way you can ramp up your home’s accessibility. 

You can also install an ADA-approved roll-in shower or walk-in bathtub, replace steps with ramps, modify countertop heights, replace doorknobs with push-pull bars, and install smart home technology that makes it easier to control different elements of your home.

While finding a local interior designer whose portfolio you like and whose fees match your budget is important, they should always have appropriate qualifications. Some states require interior designers to be licensed, and most will have a degree in interior design and certification through the National Council for Interior Design Qualifications (NCIDQ). You can also consult our directory of interior designers to get started.

To help the designer understand your vision, provide room dimensions, photos, and a list of needs or preferences.
