VM Concept Interior Design Studio

It was an absolute delight to work with Valerie Marcus! She completely transformed our existing living room, kitchen, pantry and powder room. I would have never been able to achieve this incredible new design without her vision. She focused on my style & color preference. She helped me with every aspect of the job- floor plan, tile, windows, appliances, paint, furniture and recommended a wonderful builder that we were very happy with. I look very forward to working with VM concept in the future!

My last review of Valerie's work was nearly 10 years ago. Yes, Valerie is still my designer of choice. We have another new home with a very distinct personality of its own. We live in the beautiful Red Ledges community, just 15 minutes from Deer Valley skiing, and Park City. The home could have easily transitioned into mountain modern feel, which is quite popular here in Utah. Having owned a log cabin in Park City, I was ready for something fresh and contemporary with just enough architectural details to remind me that I do live in the mountains but not heavy mountain furnishings. Valerie picked up on the interpretation of what I wanted and has created a fresh contemporary with lots of the new jewel tones blended with cool organic pieces that retain the mountain feel. Valerie, you continue to amaze me with your vision and talent. You always pick exactly the things that I love. How do you do this? I know that I always ask you this question and your answer never changes. "You have to know your customer. You have to know their limits and tastes". It is so true. I appreciate not being bombarded with $$$ items. I appreciate your enthusiasm and help to guide my budget. You are such a pleasure to work with. Thank you!

I've been working with Valerie Marcus for 15 years. I have the absolute highest level of respect for Valerie's exquisite taste in fabric selections, and interior design abilities. Her projects typically involve the finest of homes. I respect her cooperative attitude when working with trade professionals.

Valerie was amazing to work with and spot on with lighting and décor. She chose a light for the master bathroom that looks like a soft-lit flower; quite exquisite.

VM Concept Design Studio took my totally dilapidated home in Sedona and transformed it into a bright, airy, totally re-newed home. And, all the while, I was 2,400 miles away. From the very start, as the designer, Valerie Marcus was proactive and creative driving the renovation forward. I very enthusiastically recommend her work. And, here are some of the reasons why: CREATED VALUE - Valerie focused on what changes could be made to improve the home structurally and create additional value - all in a very cost effective way. Some examples of her recommendations: close in the car port to make a garage, remove two walls to open up the flow of the home, add French doors to highlight the view and allow much more light in. And. the insurance appraiser agreed, providing a 18% increase in value of the home over the investment I made. PROVIDED STRONG DESIGN - Valerie quickly caught on to my taste and what I, as her client wanted, and delivered it more aesthetically than I could have ever done. Her selections were not necessarily the most expensive - very refreshing! CLOSELY MANAGED THE PROJECT - Valerie helped me to identify a contractor and then managed him closely so the renovation would be finished on time and on budget. She went out to the job site consistently - closely monitoring the work and problem solving with the contractor. Through FaceTime tours of the work underway, she ensured that I was involved every step of the way and could have input. REASONABLE COST - Valerie gave me a flat fee up front and stuck to it. The only additional charges were renderings by her assistant. Her fees were a very reasonable percentage of the total cost of the job. With only one change order for the entire construction phase, her design/planning was well worth it. In summary, I highly recommend VM Concepts.

We have completed two home remodels with Valerie this year; one a complete remodel and the second baths and decor. Making her clients happy is so important to her. She hires the best people and insists on excellent results from them. Valerie excels at design and her bathrooms are exceptional. She is also a joy to work with.

Valerie accepted my two bathroom remodels and provided excellent leadership through completion. She communicates well with her subcontractors and maintains a professional attitude. She attentively listened to my wants and easily translated that to a vision for my remodel. From beginning to end I always had her full attention. She stayed on top of the project with class and competence. I'm already planning to hire Valerie for my next project. I just can't say enough good about the service she provides!

Valerie Marcus is an extremely talented designer with impeccable taste and dedication to her clients. We used her services on two homes one in AZ the other in MN and both came out perfect. She works tirelessley to ensure her clients are satisfied with the final results. You cannot go wrong hiring her for your next home design project or even for a full home construction.

Valerie is very professional. She has many tools and ideas that any client would benefit greatly. Definitively, you do want this PRO in your team.

My husband and I were overseas for 14 years and we rented our home in Scottsdale, AZ. When we came back we decided to remodel the whole house. We asked around and VM Concept Interior Design Studio was recommended to us. We met with Valerie Marcus , the owner. Great Lady !!! We had a lot of artifacts and Arts that we accumulated during our time overseas. Valerie's creativity integrated them into her design, and Whao !!!The end result was over all expectations!!!!!!. We had a budget of $250,000.00, that VM Concept respected. We were promised a moving date of end of July and we moved one week earlier. Great experience! It was a pleasure to work with Valerie. She had everything under control and everything went smooth. We love our "new" home. We will recommend her to all our friends and our acquaintances.

I own a custom drapery fabrication workroom that services the most discriminating designers since 1978. I have worked with Valerie for more than 10 years and the vast majority of the projects I've been involved with her on have been some of the most exquisite homes I've had the pleasure of working on. In all the years I've been providing our custom fabrication services for finer designers, I can respectfully say that Valerie's professionalism and creativity is unsurpassed. She is an absolute inspiration to collaborate with.

I would highly recommend Valerie from VM Concept. She approaches every design project with creativity, professionalism, and thoughtfulness. Many of her clients keep coming back for the same high level of service and talent that she brings to every design. Not only is Valerie a highly experienced designer in commercial and residential projects, she is also a joy to work with and develops strong client and vendor relationships. Whether your project is big or small, you will be so happy that you chose VM Concept!
