I have worked with her several times over the years - she designed three of my apartments and helped with the design and renovation of my kitchen in my first home purchase. She has a great eye and incredible ability to understand your needs and style and elevate them so your home reflects you, but is so much better. Layout is improved, everything flows together efficiently, and she has a deep well of vendors so she can find styles and solutions for your space you may never discover on your own. I feel so grateful to have found her. I trust her implicitly. She's a great communicator, fun to be around and knows all the tricks and tools needed get your home looking beautiful. She does a great mix of high-end and lower priced styles and can work within your budget and teach you how to think about style so even after she's done you can continue to grow and polish your home. I've learned so much from her! ### All 46 reviews **★★★★★ — Raj, March 2026** > I had a great experience working with Julia Mack on my unit in Vinegar Hills, NY. She was patient and took the time to understand my personal style, making the design feel truly my own. > > She was also very mindful of costs and helped keep the project within budget. Her assistance in finding a reliable handyman made the process seamless. > > Julia has a strong eye for design and was extremely helpful in selecting furniture that fit both the space and my taste. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a thoughtful and practical interior designer. **Comment from Julia Mack Design, LLC:** > Thank you for your kind words Raj, your place looks really great! **★★★★★ — nickhugh9, Nov. 2025** > Working with Julia Mack Design has been a true pleasure. As a handyman, I’ve partnered with her on multiple projects, and she brings a level of clarity, creativity, and calm that makes every job smoother. Her vision is thoughtful, her communication is clear, and she always considers both form and function. Julia creates spaces that feel intentional and welcoming, and collaborating with her is always a highlight. **Comment from Julia Mack Design, LLC:** > So nice to work on projects with you also, thank you Nick. **★★★★★ — Neha Malhotra, Oct. 2025** > Julia helped us with redesigning our living/dining area. It was a pleasure to work with her and she definitely enhanced our space. She brought in some great pieces and also introduced us to wonderful people to help carry out our vision - making the space uniquely ours with custom built ins and customized pieces. **Comment from Julia Mack Design, LLC:** > Thank you for this lovely review, your place looks so great. **★★★★★ — HU-151003222, Sept. 2025** > My wife and I have worked with Julia on two projects now--an apartment in brownstone Brooklyn and a house in upstate New York. We've really enjoyed the experience. She has a great eye, creative ideas, and an easy way of collaborating to help bring the vision to life without breaking the bank. She offers a range of good options and brings you into the process, making everybody happy. And we especially appreciate that she has on occasion steered us toward more affordable choices when our eyes were bigger than our wallets. We couldn't happier with the way both places turned out. Hire her! **Comment from Julia Mack Design, LLC:** > Thank you for your kind words, both of your places look terrific! **★★★★★ — Alma Styles, Nov. 2024** > I had the pleasure of working with Julia Mack for the design of my small railroad-style home, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. I was initially unsure of what to do with the layout and design, but Julia immediately put me at ease. She provided stunning visuals for color schemes and design concepts that fit perfectly with my style and space. > > What impressed me the most were the two beautiful layout options she sketched for my new home, both incredibly thoughtful and creative. Julia really took the time to understand my family's needs and helped me envision how to make the space both functional and cozy. I now feel confident and excited about moving forward with the design, knowing exactly what to do. This is the first home my family and I will share, and I couldn't have asked for a better designer to guide us through this journey. Thank you, Julia! **Comment from Julia Mack Design, LLC:** > Thank you Alma for your kind words, your new home is going to be great! **★★★★★ — Elizabeth Kapstein, Aug. 2024** > Mid-way through an apartment renovation we realized that we were stuck choosing furnishings. We had ideas, just not sure which way to go. We brought Julia Mack Design in. Here creative guidance just synthesized the process of combining form, function, and great design. Our home is now beautiful, comfortable, well-lit, and functional. Julia has a beautiful design sensibility. Here process is kind, creative, and thoughtful. Working with Julia turned our design plan from "good ideas" to just beautiful, cozy, comfy, and functional. I’d highly recommend Julia. **★★★★★ — Caroline Schnapp, Jan. 2024** > I can't say enough good things about working with Julia. We reached out to her to help us renovate the kitchen and bathroom in our Brooklyn condo, and start to finish, the process with Julia was easy, streamlined and fun. Julia's excellent taste helped us move through the design process quickly, and we are so thrilled with the finished space. Not only is she responsive, professional and great at what she does, but she is a lovely human, and we are so appreciative of the time, effort and expertise she leant to our project. **★★★★★ — Marcie Evans, Dec. 2023** > I hired Julia Mack to give my apartment a more polished look, and I am so happy that I did! She got me "unstuck" and effortlessly created a plan for me to move furniture and artwork so that it functions better. Everything looks so much more elegant than it ever did before. In just a short period of time, my place was totally transformed. She then suggested ideas for window treatments, paint colors, lighting and accessories. I could not be happier living and working in my place now -- everything she did made my apartment finally feel like home! I highly recommend working with Julia, and wish I had called her sooner. **Comment from Julia Mack Design, LLC:** > Thank you for your very kind words, so much fun to work with you, your place looks great. **★★★★★ — Robin L, April 2023** > It is with great please that I write this letter of recommendation for Ms. Julia Mack. Ms. Mack acted as our Interior Designer providing guidance as we planned our move into a renovated Brooklyn condo. The interior was a wash of white – very sterile. We engaged with Julia in late 2022 to assist us in creating a warm, cozy, sophisticated backdrop for conversation and relaxation in our home. Julia provided invaluable guidance in regard to furniture layout to scale, floor coverings, paint colors, window coverings and lighting. She also encouraged us to bring several family pieces into our home and incorporate them into the layout. > We are delighted about the recommendations Julia made. It is a true testament to her talent that the home flows with color and texture to create an inviting space. > > It was a pleasure to work with Julia. While she has extensive knowledge in many interior design styles, she listened to us and worked hard to understand our needs and preferences. She was excellent in taking us out of our comfort zone and suggested products that we had not considered and that contributed to our overall goals. This was most important to us. > > Julia always looked for good value when making product recommendations. The desire to provide good value to us was also apparent in her time management and record keeping on the project. She was very professional and we always felt that we were getting good value for her consulting fees. > > In summary we would strongly recommend Ms. Mack to handle your interior decor project. **Comment from Julia Mack Design, LLC:** > Thank you Robin, so great to work with you on your new place. **★★★★★ — Hilary B, April 2023** > I discovered Julia Mack on Houzz to decorate my brand new two bedroom apartment in Dumbo, Brooklyn, New York. My apartment looks warm, inviting and beautiful from the curtains and blinds to the rugs on the floors and everything in between. Julia was very easy to work with, punctual, had many ideas and fabulous taste in color. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend using Julia Mack for any of your decorating needs. **Comment from Julia Mack Design, LLC:** > Hilary, your place looks terrific, and I am so pleased with the selections and layout, thank you for your kind words. **★★★★★ — Brian, March 2023** > Julia did an incredible job! I can't believe how great our apartment looks. The layout and design feels great and looks great. Julia made the process fun, exciting and educational. I have a whole new appreciation for interior design. Thank you Julia! **Comment from Julia Mack Design, LLC:** > So happy with the design of your apartment, thank you for your kind words! **★★★★★ — Anna, Nov. 2022** > Julia provided me with excellent advice and options for styling my first New York City studio apartment. She has an excellent eye, and helped me find smart solutions to make the most of my space. **Comment from Julia Mack Design, LLC:** > Thanks so much, I had lots of fun working your space. **★★★★★ — Helen Todd, Nov. 2022** > Julia is my go-to on all things design. She has an amazing eye and recommendations! She's also always a text or email away and is so responsive with quick and creative solutions. I bought a house in 2020 and she's been helping me with different projects and am so grateful to have her in my design corner. Can't recommend her enough! **Comment from Julia Mack Design, LLC:** > Always happy to help with design ideas to keep your space moving along. **★★★★★ — Liz Butler, Oct. 2022** > After a long search we selected Julia Mack Design to help us put the finishing touches on our new condo. We have worked with designers before, but none as personable, professional or with such a great sense of style. Julia elevated our space with her creative ideas, unique pieces and a beautiful, pleasing color scheme. She turned our white box into a warm, inviting home. > > Not only is Julia easy to work with, she takes the guesswork out of the design process. She made finishing our space simple and fun. > > We cannot recommend Julia highly enough. Don't settle for someone who says they have an "eye for design. " Choose Julia because she has the design credentials and experience to do a fabulous job on your project, whatever it may be. **Comment from Julia Mack Design, LLC:** > Thank you Liz for your very kind words, your place looks great. **★★★★★ — HU-985559753, April 2022** > Julia Mack is a world class designer. I had just moved into completely empty apartment with a few large pieces of furniture and no idea of what to do with it. > > She helped me work with the furniture that I had and worked to pick out all the furniture that I had to buy. She immediately identified my eclectic tastes and created a functional, funky, mid-century modern based, contemporary eclectic apartment. > > She was an absolute pleasure to work with — I would recommend her for any sort of project big or small. **★★★★★ — ek420, April 2021** > We worked with Julia on the renovation and decoration of a new home, and loved our experience with her. Julia made our home more beautiful than we imagined it could be. She is a patient, kind person, and very easy to work with. She has excellent taste, great ideas on where to source things and solve problems, knows service people to handle every issue, and very understanding when you feel stressed or overwhelmed by the whole process. Julia suggested things we'd never have thought of, like adding a pocket door between two smaller rooms to create a master bedroom suite, or installing a custom banquette in our dining area to maximize the space as well as look appealing while withstanding the rough attentions of our young children. Julia is very diplomatic -- she will give you her opinion but is always gracious if you decide to do something different (although we followed her advice on almost everything). Thank you, Julia! **★★★★★ — apartmentjeanie, Feb. 2021** > Julia is the calm in the storm of interior design. She is gentle yet strong and always leads the client to the best design choice that makes not only a dynamic and interesting space, but one that tells the story of who lives there. > She strikes the balance between the familiar and comfortable and stylish and sophisticated. Julia is kind, a good listener, a visionary and most of all exactly the designer you want and need. **★★★★★ — Min Axthelm, May 2020** > We were looking for a design firm to help us integrate our existing furniture into our new townhouse in Brooklyn. We moved from Charlotte, NC so had large, more traditional looking pieces. We contacted a number of design firms and decided to go with Julia after a phone consultation with her. We were already impressed by the projects she had worked on and her design aesthetic. > Right from the start, Julia was able to help us repurpose a number of our existing pieces into different areas/rooms of the house. She really helped to invigorate some of the more traditional furniture by mixing in more modern, colorful and sculptural pieces. Our house looks better than it would have without Julia's help and input. She gently suggests new colors and new ways of looking at living spaces in the house. We also really appreciate trying out new colors and designs (hello, wallpaper!). > > Designing a new house and making it work for your lifestyle is a work in progress and Julia has really helped make our house more of a home. She's also great to work with and has been very helpful in making our transition to Brooklyn life easier. We highly recommend Julia and will work with her on new projects. **Comment from Julia Mack Design, LLC:** > Thank you so much for this fabulous review, I really enjoy the time that I spend with you both. **★★★★★ — B Seniawski, April 2020** > Julia's portfolio shows her great aesthetic and design skills. As her clients attest, she is great to work with too. My favorite part of working with Julia was her collaborative spirit and her targeted recommendations and advice based on what I needed for function and wanted in terms of overall feel. I hired her to refresh the decor (including paint and wallpaper) of my small one bedroom apartment. After her help, my apartment not only looked better, it functioned better too. Money well spent! **Comment from Julia Mack Design, LLC:** > Thank you so much for your insights, so much fun to work with you! **★★★★★ — Ed Goldman, Nov. 2019** > Julia was amazing! She helped us move from our brownstone to a 2 bedroom apartment and made what could have been a logistical nightmare into a smooth and easy process. She did a walk-through of our home, helping us decide on what we owned that would work in the new apartment and made great suggestions of what we needed to buy to complete the move. Julia's suggestions made our new apartment look perfectly laid out, and made the transition to a smaller space so much easier. **★★★★★ — rosanne pugliese dudine, Nov. 2019** > We have worked with Julia Mack Design on various projects over the time range of approx. 15 years, in both our home as well as my retail shop. Julia is a consummate professional. > She has a sophisticated and modern sense of design; but always listens to what the client has in mind. She speaks to both the esthetic point of view of a project, as well as practical and budgetary concerns. I especially appreciate that Julia is willing to work with pieces that a one already owns; incorporates old with the new, as well as the expensive with more accessible. > I would recommend Julia and her work unconditionally. rpd **★★★★★ — David Runco, Oct. 2019** > Julia Mack’s invaluable advice and guidance throughout our design process was so thoughtful and specific. Along each step of the way she took great care in helping us to make the most creative and smart design choices. She’s got a great sense of past and present design trends, and how to incorporate them into a unique and personal design scheme that feels right for you. Her many years of design expertise was fully evident throughout the process. She came up with many creative solutions that we didn’t think of. I’d highly recommend Julia to anyone looking to work with an easy going, friendly, pleasant, creative and talented interior designer. **Comment from Julia Mack Design, LLC:** > Thank you, David. Your kind words mean a lot to me! **★★★★★ — Melissa Gritman, Nov. 2018** > After finishing a kitchen renovation I realized the rest of my apartment looked tired and dated. I partnered with Julia to create a space that is"grown up" and reflects the way I live and work. She gently nudged me out of my comfort zone, always came prepared for our meetings, listened to my likes and dislikes, has a great sense of proportion (I don't) and is enthusiastic and fun to work with. I'm really proud of what we've accomplished together - thanks Julia! **Comment from Julia Mack Design, LLC:** > Thank you, Melissa, your kind words mean so much to me, both personally and professionally. I have enjoyed working on your project and found that sharing the creative process with you was both insightful and fun. **★★★★★ — Andrew Clark, Nov. 2018** > Julia went out of her way to help us negotiate all the design decisions we had to make setting up our offices. She has a clear vision and a good base of retailers to work with. She was able to adjust the scope of the project to fit our needs perfectly and all work was done promptly. Most importantly she was excited about the project and it seemed important to her that we get exactly what we dreamed of. **Comment from Julia Mack Design, LLC:** > Thank you Andrew. I really enjoyed the work that we did together for your business venture and learned so much about your professional process. **★★★★★ — Susan LaRosa, Sept. 2017** > I first hired Julia years ago to design the parlor floor of my brownstone, and have used her multiple times since on many projects, large and small. She has an amazing design sense, has great and unusual ideas, and is very open and accommodating to both my time and budget. She is wonderful to work with. and I've learned so much from her -- she's always explaining why she is suggesting things. I couldn't recommend her more highly! **Comment from Julia Mack Design, LLC:** > Thank you very much Susan. Your ongoing projects always look great and I'm always so impressed with our selections and how well they turn out in your home. **★★★★★ — Julie Badal, Oct. 2016** > We hired Julia Mack to help us refresh and update our living room and dining room. She helped us create a new and sophisticated look for our home. Her vision , taste, and experience were key to pulling off a renovation that met our goals and helped us take risks and make new choices. She was able to pull a common thread that integrated the changes in each of the rooms while keeping the materials and choices interesting, creative, and varied. Julia is precise, efficient, fair, talented and fun to work with. Couldn't recommend her more! **Comment from Julia Mack Design, LLC:** > Thank you so much for your kind words and for the lovely referral, I'm so appreciative of clients like the two of you and have enjoyed that time that we have spent together! **★★★★★ — Doris Hiatt, Sept. 2016** > Julia is topnotch. She is a true professional, who is very keen on getting the spatial configurations right before she proceeds. She is very knowledgeable about sources of furnishings, etc., and has always been very respectful of our preferences and budget. I very much like that she has more than one option to offer, rather than "this is the one and only solution." > Julia is very responsive, and makes herself readily available through text, email, phone and personal meetings. Within a week after our initial contact, we had our first meeting. We had just completed a gut renovation of the living room/dining space of our prewar coop. We had recently ended our relationship with our first designer precisely because she could not understand the new space and the scale and layout of the newly created space. Julia "got" the space right away, and had ideas about rug placement, art, and furniture scale and placement immediately. Once our renovated space was attended to, Julia focused on our bedroom, helping us with layout, furniture selection, and wall colors > She sketches as she goes. She can see what we could not. She gets overviews and imagines what belongs ("I can see a dining table that kind of needs to float, with a glass top and interesting base") and is familiar with many sources through her extensive research and past projects. > We feel most fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Julia. She works collaboratively, and can extend out from her original concepts to accommodate new ideas. And she made the experience enjoyable, because she is very personable, and has a great sense of humor. We couldn’t have, nor would we have wanted to, attacked our project without her **Comment from Julia Mack Design, LLC:** > Thank you for your very kind words, I enjoyed meeting you both and working on your apartment and know that it will be a happy place for you and your family for years to come. **★★★★★ — Kathleen Deveny, Aug. 2016** > Julia recently led a remodeling of our master bedroom and a small office--and the results are spectacular! The bedroom is beautiful--she perfectly captured the peaceful mood I wanted. She has great taste, she really listens to what you want, and is good at incorporating into her designs the the furniture/accessories that you already have. She brought in an excellent contractor, who finished the work on time and on budget. On top of that, she is very professional and a pleasure to work with. I could not be happier about the experience and recommend her without reservations! **Comment from Julia Mack Design, LLC:** > Your project was so much fun -- thank you for your nice review. **★★★★★ — Alice White, Aug. 2016** > Julia decorated my studio apartment in Manhattan as well as my co-op in Brooklyn. We shopped together and immediately realized we had similar tastes. She transformed both apartments. She has a large supply of terrific vendors. Not only does she work on site but does her homework. I felt confident buying expensive furniture because it was measured and thought out. I knew there would be no surprises. Her design and color sense is highly developed.. My studio is a "wow" apartment because of Julia's artistic and aesthetic vision. I would use her services for any future project. I highly recommend Julia to anyone thinking of decorating their space. **Comment from Julia Mack Design, LLC:** > This is so lovely, Alice. Thank you for your kind words. **★★★★★ — Bonaventura Architect, Jan. 2016** > Julia Mack, LLC is a professional, organized and talented designer. We have worked together on residential, hospitality and commercial projects throughout many years. She brings her extensive design knowledge and attention to detail to every project. Julia always has a fresh perspective; she listens carefully, responds quickly and makes sure every project runs smoothly with great results. I highly recommend Julia to anyone needing interior design work. **Comment from Julia Mack Design, LLC:** > Thank you so much for your very kind and thoughtful words. I respect and admire your work and enjoy the time that we have spent together discussing design and how it relates to our clients. Bravo! **★★★★★ — C VS, Oct. 2015** > I felt like I won the lottery after my first conversation with Julia. She is kind, smart, a good listener, pragmatic, and has a great eye. > > I have many strengths, but making interior design decisions is not one of them. I find it overwhelming to develop a cohesive look, and it takes me forever to make decisions about each individual item once I have a vision for a room. After spending several days (or maybe it was weeks!) looking for a kitchen table, I knew it was time to call an expert. > > Julia and I only met for a one-hour consultation, but I was amazed by how much we were able to complete in that time period. I left having a very clear idea of the look for the kitchen and several ideas for the other rooms in our new home. Julia helped me create a practical (but stylish) kitchen that works for our family of four. We also developed a shopping list of items to buy to complete the kitchen. I wholeheartedly recommend Julia and will be hiring her again once we decide to re-do our living room. I honestly cannot imagine taking on such a big project without her guidance. **Comment from Julia Mack Design, LLC:** > Hi -- I just wanted to take a minue to thank you for your lovely recommendation of both me and my work. Your kind words mean a lot and to the future success of Julia Mack Design. **★★★★★ — clintonlake, June 2015** > Julia is a godsend in helping you get started, she doesn't overwhelm with too many ideas, or get overly ambitious but at the same time helps you realize it's time to get going, be decisive and make some welcome changes to your home environment. Her eye is superb - she sees colors, shapes, layouts, etc that would never remotely occur to us, but then they just work. Most recently, Julia worked with us on the retiling, repainting and new fixtures for our kitchen and two of our bathrooms. Her attention to detail and her ability to keep the suppliers focused on what would really work for us were just superb. For instance, We wound up with a beautiful wall of earthy green and grey glass and porcelain mosaic tile in our shower that perfectly blended with existing walls and fixtures, but added a tremendous calm, richness and feeling of luxury to the entire room. We loved her simple yet elegant choice for the kitchen splash and her care to detail regarding grout as well as overhead fixtures down to the tiniest difference in the fixture colors and of the bulbs that we would never have thought of but made a huge difference. The powder room walls were also of a color we would never have thought of but which has turned the room into a warm, modern type of jewel box. Julia in short draws just the right balance between encouraging you to make a fresh new choice but without pushing you to something you are not ready for. She made sure that the contractor knew exactly what was to be done, and suggested really good sources for accessory details that we could go shop for on our own if we wanted to (though we would rather have her there by our side as much as possible!). She is punctual and straightforward at all times. We are looking forward to our next project with Julia a little later on this year. **Comment from Julia Mack Design, LLC:** > Thank you for this very generous review of both me and my work. I'm most appreciative of your kind words and glowing, descriptive prose and I look forward to continuing our design work in the near future. **★★★★★ — billygrrrl, May 2015** > I needed a complete overhaul on my studio apartment. Julia provided great suggestions about the placement of the pieces I already own and recommended new pieces to tie everything together. > Not only does my apartment feel more spacious, it has a beautiful, timeless contemporary feel. **★★★★★ — Tamara Peterson, May 2015** > Julia Mack Design, LLC helped me to redecorate several rooms in my Brooklyn apartment. She is friendly, helpful and will work within your budget. I am very happy with the results and would hire her again. **★★★★★ — jecl, May 2015** > After an initial consultation with Julia, I knew I had hit gold. I am looking to redecorate my living room and bedroom in a NYC apartment. I had some ideas about what I wanted to do but no overall plan. Julia immediately tuned in to what I was hoping to achieve and her suggestions and ideas were incredibly helpful. Now comes the really exciting part - implementing the plan and feeling confident that with Julia's guidance, the result will be exactly what I was hoping for and totally within budget. > If you have any design needs or questions, contact Julia, you'll be so glad you did. **★★★★★ — Liz Doherty, May 2015** > Julia brings a fresh perspective to her design work. She is respectful of your aesthetic, budget and time frame. She can change your entire look or just help you freshen up a room with a few easy moves. She is wonderful to work with. **★★★★★ — edwardjsmith1, May 2015** > I live in an old Victorian house with collections of paintings, sculpture, glass, antiques and the many things I have collected over years of travels. I've often been conscious of the clutter and overabundance of objects d'art which fill my home. Julia, in a half hour of chatting about my collections and my passions, was able to selectively re-arrange my living room and place the pieces which matter most to me, removing clutter and distractions and giving a spotlight to the pieces which remained. It was a whirlwind display of design talent and an innate understanding of a client's needs. Brava Julia, for a sharp eye and an immediate empathy for me and the home in which I live. > > Edward J. Smith **★★★★★ — rpgls, May 2015** > Julia is fabulous! We worked together in 2014/15 in renovating my retail store, within a very difficult space in a historic brownstone building. I had a very good idea of the style and story I wanted to > tell in the shop, and Julia was very keen on listening, was patient, and respectful of ideas that I had proposed. She was also always mindful of adhering to budget restraints. > She helped transform the space with great lighting ideas, color ("November Skies" ) and luxurious details ( brass beaded curtains as room divider) that I described, but could not have made work without her. > So pleased with the feeling she created within the shop......warm, luxurious, intimate, and unique. **Comment from Julia Mack Design, LLC:** > Thank you for your very kind review, I always enjoy stepping into the shop and seeing the space. The fresh flowers and accessories stand out to me as much as the beautiful design elements that we introduced and the design concept stands out as the perfect compliment to the merchandise. **★★★★★ — aleksander\_betko, May 2015** > My experience with Julia was exceptional. Not only is she a consummate professional, she also brings an incredible intuition to a project. My space made so much more sense and Julia's recommendations for decor brought an extremely high level of functionality and taste. **★★★★★ — iforgotagain, Nov. 2014** > Julia is wonderfully easy to work with. She listened to what I needed, she stayed within budget and worked with pieces I already had in place.. She arrives with a sketch pad and after a few minutes of brainstorming can render a drawing of what she thinks might work in your space. I love her sense of color too. She managed to mix a beautiful palate of colors for my Cobble Hill home that is bold but soothing, neutral but not boring. Every time I walk in the door I love it, **★★★★★ — John H Hatheway Jr., Architect, Feb. 2014** > Julia has a keen sense of design and is very easy to work with. She listens well and respects clients' tastes. She delivers her services as promised. **★★★★★ — katemwinn, Nov. 2013** > I had never worked with a decorator before and was concerned that I would end up with a beautiful home that didn't feel like a reflection of my personal style. > > I saw a piece about the work that Julia had done on her own home \[just down the street from me!\] and I was so impressed that I decided to give it a try. > > My experience working with Julia put all my concerns at ease and was...dare I say FUN? The process was completely collaborative and I felt that Julia respected my style and worked hard to incorporate as much of my existing furniture as we both decided was worth keeping. > > I have since recommended her to a very close friend who has impeccable style. Haooy to report that she's as happy with the work they have done as I am! BTW, I'm also planning to engage Julia's services again to work her magic on my kitchen, which now looks woefully off in comparison. **★★★★★ — haypenny, April 2013** > Julia has a very clean and sophisticated aesthetic to her interior design. I have seen several of her projects and am always amazed by her ability to take a space and make it feel open, light and airy which can be tricky in New York City. In addition to her wealth of ideas and her finely curated collection of resources, she has a really cheery disposition that makes working with her pure FUN. I highly recommend! **★★★★★ — User, March 2013** > We hired Julia Mack Designs to redesign our Brooklyn Heights apartment. Her ability to understand our goals and in-turn create and envision the new design are amazing. Her creative sense of design style, fabrics, colors, furniture lay out and stone have transformed our home into a chic and sophisticated, yet cozy and warm home.
