**★★★★★ — Roberts Lane, Jan. 2025**

> Maura McCool Design was absolutely fabulous to work with.  We knew from the first meeting that she was the designer for us.  She was able to come up with the perfect finishes for the style of our home and she did all of it while making the process enjoyable and simple for us as the client.  Everyone who walks into our house is absolutely blown away by Maura's masterpiece.  Above all, she is just a wonderful person and fun to work with.  We left this process with an awesome new friend which is just icing on the cake.  Thanks Maura McCool Design for making our house absolutely amazing.

**★★★★★ — colleen sport, Dec. 2024**

> Simply the best! Maura’s vision is off the charts. We had a major renovation and could not be more pleased with Maura McCool Designs. The whole process was seamless and actually enjoyable. Maura not only worked with Great Jones every step of the process but she fully furnished our new home and her wallpaper is so fun! If you use Maura Mccool Designs you will be blown away!

**★★★★★ — Heather Obbernolte, Nov. 2022**

> Maura has a great personality to work with and takes the time to understand her client's vision.  Her positive energy adds to the enjoyment of working with her.  She has the right mix of giving enough choices to look at alternatives but not too many to make the process overwhelming.

**★★★★★ — Cristina Simionov, June 2022**

> Maura McCool is an exceptional interior designer. As a real estate agent, I have witnessed Maura substantially increase the value of my clients' homes by implementing her valuable knowledge in current design trends for each major city in the DMV area and providing different professional vendors for each category materials/labor needed into each client's individual and unique home, whether existing or new construction. In addition to her knowledge, her communication and organization skills have increased the positive experience a customer has while working with her.
> I recommend with joy and confidence Maura McCool for any of your interior design needs.

**★★★★★ — rmarcelle, Feb. 2022**

> We loved working with Maura McCool Design.  When we moved to our new house she very quickly learned our style and helped us make our house our own.  She is wonderful to work with and we are so happy with everything she has helped us with.  We are lucky that we got connected with her and we highly recommend her!

**★★★★★ — Heather Searle, Feb. 2022**

> Maura is an amazing designer, friendly, energetic, with impeccable taste.  She can source, suggest multiple options and has extraordinarily attention to detail.  She can walk into a room and immediately has impressive ideas.  Maura also has the ability to get to know your taste, offer her experience without overstepping or taking over.  I enjoyed our interaction and thought processes.  I never felt I was underestimated and Maura definitely has the ability to discuss alternatives which turn out to be the perfect fit!
>
> I would, without doubt recommend Maura - she is impressive and kind!

**★★★★★ — Lindsay Egge, Feb. 2022**

> We purchased an older and outdated home in 2020.  Maura was instrumental in helping us transform this outdated space into our beautiful home.  She designed three bathrooms, chose furniture for our family room and kitchen, lighting fixtures for our kitchen, family room, and dining room, perfect paint colors for our entire house, and the most beautiful runner for our main staircase (along with many other things).  Maura is super easy to work with and has a classic but fun touch to her designs.

**★★★★★ — cleighgm, Oct. 2020**

> Maura was amazing to work with designing and building our new home- from beginning to end. She always had creative, thoughtful ideas which took into account beautiful design and my need for practicality. Her positive energy, enthusiasm and expertise truly made the whole process that much more enjoyable. She respects budgets and the value of products; she doesn't spend money for the sake of spending. Maura listened to my questions, and thoughtfully offered suggestions or options. I can't say enough about my experience with her. I feel lucky to have met and been able to work with her. Our home is a peaceful and lovely space because of her.

**★★★★★ — Sandra, Oct. 2020**

> Maura McCool is a joy to work with. I was downsizing and desired a new look. She's creative, has a great sense of style, is quick with great ideas, and searches for that perfect fabric, color, or piece of furniture. Maura makes suggestions but also listens to her clients' thoughts. Her resources are exceptional whether it's a skilled contractor, upholsterer, or having custom draperies made. Again, these professionals work so well with her clients. I've received so many compliments on my lovely new home, all thanks to Maura. I highly recommend her.

**★★★★★ — Sarah Rita, Jan. 2019**

> Maura McCool was the ultimate professional for our project, which was a three story home renovation.  She was intimately involved from the onset, providing insight on project design and architectural ideas, to the final stages of procuring furniture and furnishings. She has tremendous knowledge of the industry. impeccable taste and an uncanny eye for WHAT WORKS.  Moreover, she is always so pleasant and agreeable to work with!  I appreciated that she was very open to what I liked and did not like, and made suggestions that she felt complimented our tastes and my family's lifestyle.  We are absolutely thrilled with the outcome, and I really do owe it all to her.  I cannot recommend her more highly!

**★★★★★ — Alison Waldman, Jan. 2019**

> Maura is an absolute delight to work with. She combines practical and innovative designs with the know-how that comes from years of experience, reliable and skilled contractors, and an easy going approach that is always guided by what her clients' envision and want. I can't wait to work with Maura again. She makes the process incredibly fun and stress-free. I can not speak highly enough of her design skills and ability to see a project through with no hiccups, inconvenience or drama.

**★★★★★ — Eileen Herrlein, Jan. 2019**

> Maura is so naturally talented. Her sense of style and flexibility make her one of a kind. Her design expertise is unmatched and the experience is comfortable and easy. She genuinely enjoys the results as much her clients do!
