Her design style is a sophisticated warm modern that is always current yet remains timeless. She has emerged on the Interior Design scene as someone whose love of design and natural talent turned her passion for interior design into a thriving career. Having been on the client side of the renovation process herself, she understands first-hand what is involved from the clients perspective and how important it is for the client to fully understand the process as there are many moving parts and it's not just about picking a paint color. She believes the designer/client relationship is a collaborative process of building and layers creating something beautiful out of a blank space. The result...her clients are in a space that best represents who they are, enjoy being in and a place they call home. One of Susan's greatest strengths is the ability to think outside the box and create beautifully designed spaces regardless of size or budget. A Native New Yorker born and raised she is constantly inspired by her surroundings and can think of no better place to get your daily dose of inspiration. While she’s grateful to receive praise from her clients, which is the ultimate validation of your work, she feels very fortunate to be able to do what she loves every day and that is simply to... Imagine. Plan. Create. Recent Client Review - "Susan Hughes of Modify Interiors is really something special. She de-mystified the entire process and made our home renovation go smoothly from beginning to end. She was a source of inspiration and knew how to get high end results and stay within our budget. Totally down to earth and approachable but with enough know-how to get the results you want and to steer you through the complex matrix of decisions, she's the right woman for the job and I can't recommend her services more highly" - Aaron ### Services Provided - Interior Design - Kitchen Design - Bathroom Design - Living Room Design - Bedroom Design - Furniture Selection - Kids Bedroom Design - Dining Room Design - Custom Kitchen Cabinets - Custom Built-ins - Project Management - Entry Design - Custom Bathroom Vanities - Custom Furniture - Playroom Design - Laundry Room Design - Custom Blinds & Shades - Art Selection - Closet Design - Basement Design - Custom Bookcases - Custom Entertainment Centers - Custom Shelving - Home Staging - Custom Table - Kitchen Remodeling ### Areas Served - New York City - Brooklyn - Manhattan - Long Island City - abroad - Jersey City - will travel outside local area ### Typical Job Cost Modify Interiors is a full-service boutique interior design studio that works on a flat fee scale based on the scope of work per project.

She has an amazing eye for design, has fantastic resources, is patient and generous with her time and is able to work within a budget without compromising quality. She is a pleasure to work with. Susan is reliable, detail oriented and works very hard. She oversees all elements of the project from deliveries to installations. Recommend Modify Interiors very highly! **★★★★★ — stevenson\_monica, June 2016** > As a first time homeowner embarking on an complete remodel of a two bedroom/2 two bathroom interior design project I could not have selected a better Interior Designer than Susan Hughes of Modify Interiors. Working with Susan was a complete joy. She is honest, attentive, respectful of budget and timelines and has a great design perspective. > > From the onset, Susan shared great ideas and brought talented, honest, professional tradesman onto the project. Susan managed all aspects of the project and all vendors which was wonderful for me as I have a very demanding job. Susan very quickly earned my complete trust and confidence. She kept my project running smoothly both on time and budget. > > For my home I envisioned elegance, sophistication, luxury and warmth and Susan exceeded my expectations. Susan's approach was always collaborative and she took the time to learn about my design preferences (modern/mid-century) and always presented me options that were in-line with my overall vision for my home. Throughout the process, she encouraged me to remain open and take bolder risks with respect to various design elements and they all paid off. Susan has a wonderful eye for design and strives to design an even better room than you had envisioned. > > > The finished result is my home is more beautiful than I could have ever imagined it to be and I would highly recommend Susan of Modify Interiors and look forward to working on many more future projects with her. **★★★★★ — Susan Park, March 2015** > Susan Hughes of Modify Interiors designed the space of multiple rooms in my newly purchased apartment. Susan has a real talent for designing and creating spaces that are sleek and sophisticated but comfortable and inviting. She worked with me to understand my style and then she incorporated her ideas and created spaces that were above and beyond my expectations all within my budget. Susan was a joy to work with. She was always responsive to my calls/emails and I felt like I was the priority project even though I knew she was working on several other projects simultaneously. She is great at communicating her vision and this made every step of the design process that much easier. Susan simplified an extremely time consuming and multi-decision making process for me. The results are gorgeous. I couldn't be happier. I have recommended her to my closest friends. ## Selected projects - [Central Park South](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/central-park-south-pj-vj~7591247) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - [Central Park West](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/central-park-west-pj-vj~2278748) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Haute in Harlem](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/haute-in-harlem-pj-vj~286950) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 20 - Description: Complete Renovation of a two bedroom two bath condo by Modify Interiors - [Upper East Side](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/upper-east-side-pj-vj~1120204) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 26 - Description: 11 Room Duplex Gut Renovation of Upper East Side - [Upper West Side](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/upper-west-side-pj-vj~565610) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - Description: East or West..Home is the best...
