We moved into our house, a modest, outdated but well-cared-for cape, about a year ago and were finally ready to take on a refresh of the space. We were struggling with the "big picture" vision to ensure a cohesive style and functional approach to maximize our small space with little kids, so turned to Annie for concept design help. Annie was responsive, professional, and really took time to understand what was important to us and what our style preferences were. She was a total delight to work with and came up with some really creative ideas that would have never occurred to us. We primarily worked with her on concept design but she also helped us to source items for our bathroom and did an awesome job at that. We loved working with her and would work with her again in a heartbeat! **★★★★★ — wendybsilver, Aug. 2026** > Annie just helped us with home interior design improvements in 3 rooms in our home. She is an absolute pro. > > Here is what I love most: > \- She has a process that is clearly outlined and communicated. > \- She has great resources and is constantly adjusting to what the situation requires based on our goals (and budget!) for the project. > \- She gives us her HONEST opinions. Part of the value in hiring and paying for a professional is getting professional advice. As a realtor, I do the same with my clients because, as a customer, I appreciate it. Of course, as clients, it's up to us whether we take the advice, but that's what we are paying for, and I want that when I work with a professional. > > We love the final results and could not be happier. As a real estate professional, I meet a lot of interior designers, and Annie is among the best. > > If you have any home interior design projects, big or small, I highly recommend reaching out to Annie. You will not be disappointed! **★★★★★ — Mary B., June 2026** > I worked with Annie DeCastro Design Group to refresh the decor of 3 short-term rental apartments and style the units for professional photography. I had a tight deadline and budget. In spite of these challenges, Annie quickly understood my goals and decor preferences and executed seamlessly make my vision a reality. I was so pleased with the final results and feel that the spaces are truly a reflection of what I was hoping to achieve. The apartments feel like my own and the decor is now a standout feature of our rentals (without feeling cluttered) that I consider a huge value-add. It was such a pleasure to work with her and her team. She is impressively professional, organized and such a talented designer. I highly recommend her services. **★★★★★ — Susan Ulbrich, July 2025** > We had the pleasure of working with Annie De Castro on our second floor renovation, and we truly couldn’t be happier. She designed our new bathroom and laundry room, and both spaces turned out perfectly. It felt like she was in our heads! She understood exactly what we needed without us having to overexplain anything. Annie just gets it. > > She’s also a joy to work with. Kind, patient, easy to talk to, and full of positive energy, all while being professional, productive, and assertive. She really listened to what we were looking for and came back with designs that were thoughtful, functional, and beautiful. I especially loved her eye for wallpaper, tile, and marble. The bathroom countertop is divine. My husband picked a white and grey marble with subtle brown and green veining, and Annie then pulled those tones into the accent colors throughout the room. It’s innovative and warm and even better than we imagined. > > Both spaces feel calm and streamlined, yet warm and personal. We genuinely looked forward to every meeting with her. She made the entire process easy and enjoyable, and we always felt like we were in great hands. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat, and we can’t wait to work with Annie again. **Comment from Annie De Castro Design Group:** > Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! It was such a joy collaborating with you both on your second-floor renovation, and I’m thrilled to hear how much you’re loving the new bathroom and laundry spaces. Your vision and openness made the design process such a pleasure, and I’m so glad the little details like the marble and wallpaper resonated with you. I’m grateful for the trust you placed in me and can’t wait for the chance to work together again in the future! **★★★★★ — arindarae, April 2025** > I hired Annie to design a large basement kid's playroom and a guest suite in my new home. Annie was absolutely wonderful to work with--she was very transparent with timing and pricing and most importantly she created two amazing living spaces that my family and guests will enjoy for many years to come. Thank you Annie and team for making my house into a real home!!! **Comment from Annie De Castro Design Group:** > Thank you so much for your thoughtful words Arinda! It was such a pleasure designing spaces that your family and guests can enjoy for years to come. I especially hope that all the fun details we planned together for the playroom have made it a truly special place for your kids to play as they grow. I’m so glad we could help make your new house feel like home! **★★★★★ — Rebecca Sykes, April 2025** > Annie has been an amazing interior design partner for our multi-stage old home renovation. She is so easy to work with and respected our budget and time constraints throughout the project. Her finish selections were all so beautiful and she connected us with some great trade people who we hope to use again. Can’t recommend working with Annie enough! **Comment from Annie De Castro Design Group:** > Thank you so much for your kind words Rebecca! It was a joy to work with you, and we’re thrilled to hear you’re enjoying the space. We truly hope the design brings more comfort, connection, and quality time for you and your family. Wishing you many happy moments raising your family in your beautiful home! **★★★★★ — Karen, Feb. 2025** > We had an incredible experience working with Annie on our home design! From start to finish, she was a true professional with impeccable taste and an amazing ability to bring our vision to life. She seamlessly blended our existing furniture with modern pieces, giving our space a fresh, stylish, and cohesive look. > > Annie’s process was thoughtful and well-organized, and she kept us informed and engaged every step of the way. She was incredibly patient, especially as we navigated construction delays, and always made us feel heard. We interviewed several designers, but Annie stood out because of her warmth and genuine care for creating a home that is not only beautiful but also functional and livable for us. > > We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Annie to anyone looking for a designer who truly listens, understands, and delivers beyond expectations! **Comment from Annie De Castro Design Group:** > Karen, it's been such a pleasure getting to know you and your family through the design process. Thank you for the kind review. Your mom had already made such huge strides in the renovation process, and we are very grateful to have been a part of seeing the project through with our concept planning and design development. I love reading that our final installation was beyond your expectations, and truly hope this will be the start of another 20+ years of memories in your very well-loved family home. **★★★★★ — ncanete, Jan. 2025** > Annie has been an amazing resource for our family! When we started a project to finish our basement in 2021, we had no idea where to start. She listened to our ideas and took them to another level while keeping our budget in mind. Her palette choices and recommendations for the layout, design finishes and accessories really elevated the space. It became our favorite room in the house! > > In 2023, we went under contract for a new construction house that had a lot of custom choices to be made. We were overwhelmed with all of the decisions and reached out to Annie again. She helped us with our indecision, kept us focused with a timeline and made our life a lot easier. She was comfortable engaging with the builder and driving some important design choices for us. We appreciated her flexibility and patience throughout the project. Once we moved in, she added the final touches through an accessories package, custom made cushions and product sourcing that matched our style and budget. We are very happy with the final result! She helped us make our new house feel like a home. > > We have really enjoy working with Annie over the last several years and trust her implicitly. Highly recommend her! **Comment from Annie De Castro Design Group:** > Thank you for all of the positive feedback! From the Woburn Basement buildout to your new Bedford home it's always been such a pleasure to help you create spaces that suit your family and your aesthetic. I hope you guys are well on your way to creating many special memories there! **★★★★★ — Ana Donovan, Jan. 2025** > We recently had the pleasure of working with Annie to design our sunroom, and we couldn't be happier with the results! Annie was incredibly collaborative, always listening to all our preferences and feedback, and making changes based on our budget requirements. She truly brought our vision to life. Her easygoing nature and great suggestions made the design process both fun and easy. We loved reviewing her design renderings throughout the process - they were so realistic! My husband and I both work full-time and Annie made it extremely convenient to schedule time with her. > > Before Annie began working on the project, our sunroom had been empty and unused for over a year. One of the standout features of our new sunroom is how functional it is, especially for a home with three young children. She ensured the room was tastefully designed yet family-friendly, which was a top priority for us. > > The final accessories package and styling really made a difference. We were so excited with the grand reveal and have been loving the room ever since! We highly recommend Annie to anyone looking for a talented and thoughtful interior designer. She is wonderful! > > Ana and Phil Donovan **Comment from Annie De Castro Design Group:** > Thank you both for taking the time to share your experience working with me. I'm so glad to hear our selections for the sunroom helped transform it in the functional and styling space your family needed. I hope it's now one of you favorite and most used space in the home (after that amazing backyard of course!). **★★★★★ — Suzy Levin, Jan. 2025** > We had a wonderful experience working with Annie to design most of the spaces in our new home. She helped us scope out the project based on our budget and was very thoughtful throughout the design process. Annie made it clear that she wanted our feedback as she created a cohesive design plan that matched our aesthetic and lifestyle. Honestly we had minimal feedback for her as she was able to gauge what we wanted better than we ever could have for ourselves. Annie was able to complete the project within our tight timeline, so we could be settled before our daughter was born. The final reveal after everything was installed, including the accessories that Annie added, blew us away. We were so happy with how everything came together - we still can’t believe the space is ours! We’d recommend working with Annie on any design project; she’s so talented! **Comment from Annie De Castro Design Group:** > Suzy thank you so much for the feedback! You guys were such wonderful clients to work with, and it was an honor to be a part of transforming the house into the home you both envisioned it could be, and there was so much potential there! I really hope you're enjoying the space as you settle into your life as a mom of two and that it's a place you are proud to call home for many years to come. **★★★★★ — Karyn Novakowski, Jan. 2025** > Working with Annie was a true pleasure. From the outset, she made the design process incredibly smooth and stress-free. She took the time to understand my vision and offered insightful suggestions that enhanced the overall concept. The entire process was structured yet flexible, and I always felt well-informed about every step. > > What really stood out was her genuine openness to client feedback, making sure my preferences were always considered while offering her expertise. Whenever I had a concern or a new idea, she welcomed it, and adjustments were made with ease. It truly felt like a partnership. > > One of the most impressive aspects was Annie's project management skills. The project was kept on track thanks to a clear timeline, detailed deliverables, and consistent communication. She used professional tools to manage everything from budget tracking to design updates to 3D renderings which brought the designs to life and ensured that nothing was overlooked. It was evident that a lot of care and attention was put into maintaining a smooth workflow. > > I highly recommend Annie for anyone seeking a designer who offers a balanced blend of creativity, collaboration, and professionalism. Her approach made the entire process enjoyable, and I’m thrilled with the final result. **Comment from Annie De Castro Design Group:** > Thank you so much Karyn! Your positive feedback truly means the world to me, and it's been such a pleasure working with you over this past year. I've loved getting to design with your playful and colorful aesthetic at the heart of our vision. It's just such a unique home with so much character to highlight and enhance as you breath new life into it, what a dream project to get to be a part of! I'm truly grateful for the opportunity with work with you. > > I can't wait to see your home transform in the months ahead now that the construction is finally underway! **★★★★★ — Rachael, Aug. 2024** > Annie did an excellant job in listening and understanding what we were looking for in our new home. She incorporated our request of preferred companies to use and was able to take our our personal style considerations and make something above and beyond what we could imagine. > > Her attention to detail and communication from our initial inquiry to the final touches with accessory’s was fantastic. She answered all our questions in a timely manner and helped us figure out details that we didn’t even think to ask about. ## Selected projects - [Beverly Bathroom & Laundry Room Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beverly-bathroom-and-laundry-room-renovation-pj-vj~7619061) - Location: Beverly, MA - Photos: 17 - [Peabody Family Home Furniture Package](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/peabody-family-home-furniture-package-pj-vj~7617861) - Location: Peabody, MA - Photos: 28 - [Weston Carriage House Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/weston-carriage-house-addition-pj-vj~7612259) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Marblehead Mid Century Coastal Reno](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/marblehead-mid-century-coastal-reno-pj-vj~7589965) - Location: Marblehead, MA - Photos: 45 - Description: For this busy couple preparing to welcome their second child, we provided white glove design services to help them take their new home from a dated split-level house to a coastal retreat with spaces for the entire family to enjoy.
