DAB Interior Design, Inc.

Doris Bachmann was working behind the scenes with the architect I hired to renovate my NYC bathroom. When the project veered off course, Ms Bachmann stepped up, took charge, and saw the job through to completion. Her vast knowledge and expert advice was greatly appreciated and the bathroom turned out beautifully!

I have known Doris for several years as a colleague in both the National Kitchen and Bath Association (where she has won design awards) and the Interior Design Society, where she is an active member in both organizations. She is a seasoned professional and award winner in the area of bath design, in particular. She is 100% professional, capable and reliable. I can recommend her skills and design taste whoeheartedly. She will deliver the project of your dreams!

Doris is that rarest combination- an industry veteran who is still freshly fascinated by each project, and by the possibilities each project offers for giving her clientele a more beautiful result than they had dreamed possible. Doris’ infinite attention to detail, her innate taste and chic, her sage wisdom about the reality of the marketplace where resale value is concerned all make her a pleasure to work with for the homeowners who hire her and the trade professionals with whom she collaborates.

Doris Amsterdam Bachmann was amazing to work with from start to finish. We worked with Doris on numerous projects in the past few years. The most recent project that we collaborated on was a 1 bedroom apartment on East End Avenue, in Manhattan, New York that she designed from top to bottom. It looked like it came straight out of a luxury home magazine, which in fact won “Her 5th National Award for Best Small Bathroom Design. Doris was very dedicated and involved in all our site meetings, kept on top of the project, coming to the site numerous time every week working closely with our subs like plumber, tile man, electrician and our millwork shop. Her architectural drawings were extremely detailed and made it very easy for our men to follow. Doris has the ability to listen well and then apply that to the design recommendations. What makes her unique is her ability to see the whole picture and tend to the details in that context. She is extremely professional yet very personable and friendly. Great team to work with! If you’re looking for the "One of The Very Best Interior Designers", look no further.

I have known Mrs. Bachman for too many years to count! She is one of those design professionals that you can both count of for design capability and competence. She always has a flair for the new and unusual, with using only the best fixtures and cabinetry available. Design awards have always followed her, as her work has always been inspiring. I have always been glad to be associated with her and her work, and as one of her suppliers over the years, I have come to know what she expects, which is the best product at the best price point. She can be an enormous asset to anyone who considers using her! Larry Goren co owner Hardware Designs of Fairfield NJ

Excellent interior designer with a flair for luxury. The kitchen renovation project was spectacular. She worked well with our designers and staff. We highly recommend DAB interior design.

We had DAB Interior Design, do a complete re- design, renovation of our master bath and are extremely pleased with the result. Our designer, Doris was fantastic - exceptional ideas, she’s an artist and has great talent, not only for design but also for the practical space. She suggested in order to increase our privacy, as the master bath was by the front door, very dreary and cramped for our needs. Doris recommended that we utilize part of the very large master bedroom, closets, expand the whole bathroom and rework the walk in closets to accommodate the master bath, we desired. Doris created a space that, exceeding anything we envisioned was possible! She and her skilled design team, eliminated the 8’ ceiling, raising the ceilings to the roof rafters, put in two new clerestory window up high, far above the front door and added two skylights. We finally had loads of beautiful natural light and much longed for privacy. The deal clincher was the detailed design plans, Doris’ years of experience, excellent taste, attention to details, exceptional knowledge of the luxury bath market, and how to create intricate shower and bath systems. A truly luxurious bathroom! Her incredible ability to envision the space beforehand, translating what the space would look like, from the plans, to my husband and myself. Exactly how the functionality would fit our needs. She and her staff, were there every step of the way, including during the construction phase, providing the project management. However DAB’s blueprints were so detailed and provided such clear directions for the contractor and sub-contractors, that there were no mis-communications or mistakes at all. The project ran smoothly the whole time and if something didn’t we were not aware of it. Our new master bath, was totally planned out in advance by DAB’s Design Studio. We purchased every item so they were in our possession or in the vendors warehouse, to prevent unnecessary delays. The subcontractors were a pleasure to work with and completed their part of the project on time, so that the next subcontractor could continue the seamless completion of the project. We were thrilled with the results! We now have a spacious beautifully laid out space with, new walk in closets, fully outfitted, loads of storage including a large linen closet, two sinks with ample room for both of us, a dressing table, a soaking tub and even a private area for our toilet and bidet. But best of all is our fabulous steam shower with the latest shower equipment, rain shower from the ceiling, body sprays, thermostatic mixing valve and even a hand shower right next to the big bench, where we can relax while steaming. The coolest part is, we can turn the water temperature down to cold before steaming, turn the water on by the bench, just when we get overheated, and spray our head to cool off! Not only that but if we shower during the day the sunlight comes streaming onto the shower bench! Truly heavenly! DAB quickly resolved the few issues we had along the way, and the quality of the materials they provided and their workmanship was top notch. I think it is unusual to complete such an extensive, complicated job with no complaints, but we have none. Actually, we’re thrilled and would give our highest recommendation, without hesitation to Doris and DAB Interior Design with total confidence in their abilities and integrity. Five star job!

DAB INterior design renovated a small bathroom for me. I did not think that room could be anything more than functional. Mrs. Bachman made it beautiful. I did not think that she could provide that much storage in so small a space. She is competent,professional and a good communicator. I am very happy with the results
