What’s great about working with Jill is that she can work with you on a ‘room-by-room’ basis putting interior design assistance within everyone’s reach. We knew we wanted to start with our family room and entryway and Jill helped us merge the old with the new to create wonderful spaces for our family. She very clearly laid out and explained what was included and the various packages she offered. She also visited our home to get a sense for the space and supplied us with extensive vision boards to ensure we were on the same page. What we ultimately ended with was an amazing design binder which included everything from architect-designed floorplans, various room designs with selected furniture pieces, as well as a full price listing. Jill is a consummate professional and offers seamless, accessible support for all of your needs! She made the process enjoyable and actively incorporated our input. Most importantly, Jill was a great listener. It never felt as though she was imposing her own vision on us, but rather she helped steer our vision in a direction that melded with our vision for the space. **★★★★★ — Christina R, Nov. 2017** > Jill designed several living spaces in my new home. She has a great sense of style and helped to create a modern, polished look throughout. I always receive compliments from guests, on the rooms that Jill worked on, when they visit my house. When I was unsure about some choices, she was always willing to walk me through the decision making process and make sure I was comfortable/happy before moving forward. **★★★★★ — Designer's Choice, June 2017** > Jill is a consummate professional with a keen eye for detail and sophistication. She is a joy to work with and will make your home look beautiful. **★★★★★ — Linda Colletta Art, March 2016** > I am a local artist and had the great pleasure of working with Jill on her clients home. > She selected a large scale piece of mine as the focal point of her clients family room. > She was very professional with me, honest and fair. > She valued my opinion and trusted me with her clients vision. > She has a wonderful eye and is just a wonderful person to work with. **★★★★★ — Bungalow, March 2016** > We have had the pleasure of working with Jill for a number of years. Jill easily reads her clients needs and has the ability to mix traditional, and modern creating a fresh sensibility. We always look forward to Jill's visits to Bungalow. **★★★★★ — Dina Fisher, Aug. 2015** > I have worked with Jill on a few projects in my house. I just recently hired her to help me decorate my dining room and front entry way. She is a great listener and seems to always understand my need to balance function with design. She also manages to make the room truly reflect my husband's and my personalities. I love working with her! She is quick to respond to all emails and calls. I have never had an issue with her going over budget. She always goes out of her way to find more affordable options for me. Also, I have loved everyone who she has recommended to work on my house. And each of these people, have all had the highest praise for her. I really cannot say enough good things. She truly is a pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — vanessa\_edmee, May 2015** > I have worked with Jill Kalman from Bella Interiors on several decorating projects at my house throughout the years. She is very professional, reliable, punctual, and works well with a budget. She makes the decorating process fun and enjoyable. She pays attention to the details that make a house a home and responds quickly to emails and phone calls. I am constantly getting compliments on the decoration of my house. I would highly recommend Bella Interiors. **★★★★★ — 40liberty, March 2015** > My husband and I hired Jill to help us design our entire house from scratch. Her work started before we even moved in and she has been working with us for a year to finalize all the details starting with staining floors, choosing paint colors and developing design/layout plans. She has assisted us with bedrooms to family rooms as well as a full kitchen remodel. Jill is very professional, organized and easy to work with. She takes the time to understand our initial vision for a space and then uses her expertise to offer improvements and make it a reality. On top of all of this she is simply a lovely person and we enjoy spending time with her as we work together on ideas. She is accommodating with her schedule as both my husband and I work and responds quickly to any concerns or questions that might pop up. She has great relationships with different vendors and contractors which has made for a very seamless process. We would highly recommend hiring Jill for any of your design needs! **★★★★★ — L&M Custom Carpet and Rugs LLC, March 2015** > As a carpet vendor to Bella Interiors, I work closely with Jill Kalman to create one of a kind flooring products for her clients. Jill is always professional, innovative with her selections and very pleasant to work with. **★★★★★ — Kathryn Simmelkjaer, Sept. 2014** > Jill has been amazing. She's helped us redo the house we bought and she started her work before we moved in, organizing everything with the painting and floors. She works with your ideas but brings in pieces that I'd never be able to find on my own. She's respectful of your budget and responsive to your emails and concerns. I'm very very happy with her work and I love our home. I'd highly recommend her to anyone! **★★★★★ — elizabethzil, Aug. 2013** > Jill is so easy to work with. She is flexible, accommodating, has fantastic follow up and is very resourceful. She is willing to work on any sort of project-- be it just finding one piece of furniture needed for a room or working on a whole room. I have very specific taste and she was great in working with me on achieving the look I already had in my mind. She has amazing resources that she works with and is very well versed and has much expertise on all design aspects. Definitely recommend!!! **★★★★★ — alanacross, June 2013** > Jill could not have been more wonderful to work with. She is so friendly, yet completely professional, and has a great eye for what works. I am so happy to walk into my relaxing master bedroom with amazing wallpaper, window treatments and so much more thanks to Jill. ## Selected projects - [Kitchen Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-renovation-pj-vj~2877148) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Welcome Home in Wilton](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/welcome-home-in-wilton-pj-vj~2777478) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 36 - [GREENS FARMS NEW BUILD](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/greens-farms-new-build-pj-vj~1953902) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [GUEST BATHROOM](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/guest-bathroom-pj-vj~1310261) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [GUEST BEDROOM](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/guest-bedroom-pj-vj~884165) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [WESTPORT REMODEL](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/westport-remodel-pj-vj~47413) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 29 - [BOY'S BEDROOM](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/boy-s-bedroom-pj-vj~1310288) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [FAMILY ROOM/STUDIO REMODEL](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/family-room-studio-remodel-pj-vj~446670) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - [PURPLE HAZE GIRLS BEDROOM](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/purple-haze-girls-bedroom-pj-vj~858521) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [BATHROOM REMODEL](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathroom-remodel-pj-vj~133249) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [HALL BATH MAKEOVER](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hall-bath-makeover-pj-vj~1102901) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [MASTER SUITE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-suite-pj-vj~197025) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [KITCHEN MAKEOVER](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-makeover-pj-vj~446690) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Westport Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/westport-residence-pj-vj~222290) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [CASUAL ELEGANCE IN WESTPORT](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/casual-elegance-in-westport-pj-vj~905108) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 23 - [CLASSIC FAMILY ROOM UPDATE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-family-room-update-pj-vj~93027) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Basement Hang Out Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/basement-hang-out-room-pj-vj~59499) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [NEW CONSTRUCTION](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-construction-pj-vj~1940794) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [A-LIST DINING ROOM](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-list-dining-room-pj-vj~2125850) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 [See all 19 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/jill-kalman-interiors-pfvwus-pf~1669404242) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/124173152/list/wish-list) — 2 ideas - [bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/4247376/list/bathrooms) — 7 ideas - [Laundry rooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/3434566/list/laundry-rooms) — 15 ideas - [kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/18902726/list/kitchens) — 33 ideas - [guest cottage](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/25279433/list/guest-cottage) — 1 idea - [mudrooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/24720643/list/mudrooms) — 1 idea - [windows](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/2296654/list/windows) — 4 ideas - [built-in cabinetry](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/24377362/list/built-in-cabinetry) — 13 ideas - [master bedrooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/24378247/list/master-bedrooms) — 1 idea - [family rooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/4116958/list/family-rooms) — 7 ideas - [kitchen cabinets](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/4675443/list/kitchen-cabinets) — 2 ideas - [kids spaces](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/3147591/list/kids-spaces) — 18 ideas - [kitchens with family room seating](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/23424531/list/kitchens-with-family-room-seating) — 4 ideas - [paneled fireplaces](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/18777801/list/paneled-fireplaces) — 5 ideas - [sidehill](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/22312799/list/sidehill) — 2 ideas - [study..paint color](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/20907359/list/study-paint-color) — 1 idea - [get creative!](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/19801495/list/get-creative) — 2 ideas - [ceilings](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/18777718/list/ceilings) — 14 ideas - [tolan](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/18780961/list/tolan) — 2 ideas - [master seating area](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/18781079/list/master-seating-area) — 1 idea [See all 36 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/jillkalman) ## Community Q&A **Q: Handles / Countertop** *(in Photo Questions)* Beautiful! What is the finish on the cabinet handles? The countertop is made of what material? A: Thank you! The handle finish is Polished Nickel and the countertop is quartz by Cesarstone. **Q: where did you get the doors, and are they standard 36"?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hello, the doors were there prior to me working on the house. Typically you can customize or order custom sized though. **Q: Where did you find the curtains?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Serena and Lily- not sure they still make them **Q: Wood Flooring** *(in Photo Questions)* Hi. What type of wood flooring is this? Thanks A: You are very welcome- always sample whatever stains you are considering- not all wood or oak is created equal and like a paint color can look different once applied- so always sample first! **Q: Where did you source the skylight please? Beautiful!** *(in Photo Questions)* Am looking for a bespoke skylight..... A: Hello- the skylights already existed. A window showroom like Pella or Marvin would be able to help you I would think. **Q: what is the exact stain on the floors?** *(in Photo Questions)* We are about to lay American White Oak and I love this stain. Could you please tell me which one is used? A: I believe so yes. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-23.*
