We can count on him for a creative and perfect idea every time! His bevy of contractors and vendors are top-notch and reliable. We’ve never been disappointed with Shannon’s work – it’s consistently high quality and impeccable. Shannon is up front with cost projections and always works within our budget. We love Shannon and highly recommend him! **★★★★★ — pullo13, Jan. 2017** > I began renovating my condo. in the summer. The person I hired left me in such disarray. I didn't know where to turn. Then, a friend recommended Shannon Mery. First, he sat with me and listened to my vision for my condo. Then, he made my vision become a reality! The results far exceeded my expectations! His flawless service and dedicated work ethic are exemplary! **★★★★★ — Pam, Oct. 2014** > We couldn't be happier with our finished bathroom! Shannon was so helpful and was able to narrow down our choices and likes to come up with a final design that is not only functional, but gorgeous. We had a very small space to work with and Shannon was able to completely rework the room to accommodate all of our needs while making the space look larger than its actual size. I would recommend Denizen Design to anyone with a space and a dream- Shannon will bring it to life. **★★★★★ — josephredward, Feb. 2014** > I hired Shannon Mery from Denizen Design to renovate my living room and childrens bathroom. Both rooms came out fabulous. Both projects came within my budget and on time. I found Shannon a pleasure to work with and would most definately work with him again. > I recommeded Shannon to a friend who also worked with them on a much smaller scale, but also enjoyed his expertise in picking out fabrics and materials for bedroom. **★★★★★ — ejagresta, Feb. 2014** > We have been working with Denizen for four years. Our relationship began with a need for window treatments but quickly grew as we learned of Shannon's talent and his ability to recognize our personal taste and make suggestions accordingly. Shannon has become our "go to" person for all house projects since our first meeting. He has counseled us on everything from choosing paint colors, to designing two nurseries, to a custom 15 foot wall unit, to custom patio furniture to redoing our entire master suite; all results have been beyond our expectations. We are very pleased with all aspects of our relationship; Shannon is always responsive, available and goes above and beyond to ensure deadlines are met. His network of loyal professionals allows Shannon to implement his vision while still remaining in control and acting as the point person for his clients. In an age of get it done quickly, Shannon takes the time to meet with us face to face each and every time a decision needs to be made to ensure all aspects are identified and discussed. We have recommended him to friends and family - the ultimate compliment - and will continue to do so. **★★★★★ — myh3152, Feb. 2014** > If you are looking for a top notch design consultant, look no further. We hired Shannon for an extensive interior design project including custom furnishings, lighting, window treatments, paint color, accessories and wall coverings. > > He listened to our ideas and really helped in translating our vision into a beautiful and cohesive design. Shannon was an invaluable resource and his aesthetics were just exceptional! Further to that, he was fun, charming and easy to work with. **★★★★★ — Robert Fylypowycz, Feb. 2014** > All I can say is WOW! What an amazing job. The level of professionalism, courtesy and follow through is unparalleled. Thanks for everything. **★★★★★ — Craig Kizewic, Feb. 2014** > We had the pleasure of working with Denizen Design for the remodel of our master suite. We had ideas of our own which were conveyed to Shannon Mery. Thinking outside the box, Shannon was able to expand into the adjacent office closet space, master suite existing closet and sitting area in another room. In the end we had a large bathroom with double vanities and double shower, a new closet for the office, a new walk-in closet for the master suite, while keeping the bed placed to take full advantage of the water view which was enhanced by adding floor to ceiling windows on one wall and a set of French doors on the other. Shannon is very knowledgeable about design and his taste is impeccable. He is prompt, efficient and a pleasure to work with. Deadlines were either met on time or earlier than expected all while staying within budget. We will most definitely be working with Denizen Design again for our upcoming remodel as we were completely satisfied and he exceeded our expectations. **★★★★★ — gblankenship70, Feb. 2014** > Shannon of Denizen Design....gave us a bathroom that our family and friends say "WOW, now this a beautiful bathroom". His vision and practicality to our needs was well thought out and he delivered a master piece! We couldn't be more happy with his inspiration and the attention to detail he gave to our project. Our kitchen is due for a makeover and without hesitation we have hired him to start in March. **★★★★★ — stacyglass, Feb. 2014** > Shannon helped us transform our kitchen and it looks amazing. He was able to stay within our budget while giving us exactly what we were looking for. He was extremely professional and an absolute delight to work with. I would recommend Denizen to anyone and will definitely use them in the future. **★★★★★ — beckes, Feb. 2014** > Denizen design did a fantastic job overseeing a redesign of our entire house. Shannon is extremely talented and had a unique vision for every room in our house. The project came out incredible, we love it. **★★★★★ — erenaud, Jan. 2014** > Shannon (denizen) was instrumental in the design process of our mid-century home in Tampa Bay. He brought with him a great sense of style, great humor, and fresh ideas. He was a joy to deal with! He is a master at lighting. Shannon was also invaluable in helping us select finishes and in the design of our kitchen and baths (especially tile) and helped advised on our architectural plans. We highly recommend Shannon. ## Selected projects - [Upper West Side, NYC Condo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/upper-west-side-nyc-condo-pj-vj~435009) - Location: New York City, NY - Photos: 10 - Description: Eclectic Upper West Side Condo - [Deal, NJ Contemporary Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/deal-nj-contemporary-home-pj-vj~436259) - Location: Deal, NJ - Photos: 10 - [Miami Beach, FL - Condo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/miami-beach-fl-condo-pj-vj~437082) - Location: Miami Beach, FL - Photos: 12 - [Asbury Park, New Jersey - Loft](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/asbury-park-new-jersey-loft-pj-vj~750709) - Location: Asbury Park, NJ - Photos: 3 - [Hoboken, NJ Contemporary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hoboken-nj-contemporary-pj-vj~438352) - Location: Hoboken, NJ - Photos: 3 - Description: Live Edge Table, Damask Wall Covering, Metallic, Contemporary Dining Room, Bench Seating - [Holmdel, NJ Contemporary Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/holmdel-nj-contemporary-home-pj-vj~438172) - Location: Holmdel, NJ - Photos: 19 - [Little Silver, NJ Shore Colonial Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/little-silver-nj-shore-colonial-home-pj-vj~437085) - Location: Little Silver, NJ - Photos: 9 - [Custom Designed Fireplaces, Monmouth County, NJ](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-designed-fireplaces-monmouth-county-nj-pj-vj~473438) - Location: Fair Haven, NJ - Photos: 5 - [Colts Neck, NJ Traditional Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/colts-neck-nj-traditional-home-pj-vj~422142) - Location: Colts Neck, NJ - Photos: 9 - Description: Traditional Home located in Colts Neck NJ - [Rumson, NJ Eclectic Modern Staircase](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rumson-nj-eclectic-modern-staircase-pj-vj~438184) - Location: Rumson, NJ - Photos: 9 - [Deal, NJ Spare Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/deal-nj-spare-bath-pj-vj~438192) - Location: Deal, NJ - Photos: 2 [See all 11 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/denizen-design-pfvwus-pf~1325522236) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/120823785/list/wish-list) — 2 ideas - [Franzen Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/89680201/list/franzen-kitchen) — 5 ideas [See all 2 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/denizen) ## Community Q&A **Q: love the wall coverings** *(in Photo Questions)* could I have information on both wall coverings? gorgeous!!
