She specializes in kitchens and baths but also has a broad understanding of furniture and textiles, and enjoys creating site-specific furniture pieces.

Her incredible attention to dimension and detail, thoughtfulness about practical use and sense of color and flow resulted in a stunning bathroom which both the contractor and I love. She is easy to work with, listens carefully, and got us to think out of the box. **Comment from Diane Burcz Interior Design:** > Thank you, Mark. I enjoyed working with you. Glad you like the results. ### All 6 reviews **★★★★★ — bluehillsmidcenturyhome, March 2015** > Diane helped us with interior design and project managing renovations for a historic mid-century property we purchased last summer. From the very beginning, she was professional, listened intently to our preferences and needs and incorporated them successfully in her final recommendations and design. Moreover, she worked well with the preservation society we had to convince on certain changes we wanted to make. > > In particular, her design and execution of our new hall bathroom has received so many compliments! > > We highly recommend Diane for any design project you have. She is wonderful to work with. **Comment from Diane Burcz Interior Design:** > Thanks for your review. It was a pleasure working together. **★★★★★ — Levitch Associates, Incorporated, Sept. 2013** > This review is long overdue, I want to share how much I appreciated working Diane her home remodeling projects as an Architect and Builder while she lived in Berkeley, CA. > > Diane flew into our community looking for a green builder. I was at the end of a major green remodel of my own home and was happy to meet a potential client with the enthusiasm and experience in green building that you already had. > > My firm has specialized in remodeling in Berkeley for the last 30 years I have worked with many clients of varying understanding and abilities when it comes to design and construction. Working with Diane was like having another professional staff member on my team. Diane's knowledge and experience in remodeling and her sense of design and color made my job easier and added a great deal to the success of the entire project. > > It was a testament to the success of the project and Diane's design and management abilities that led her home to receive the “Peoples’ Choice” award for the Build it Green, Green Home tour in 2005. This award was given even when Phase 2 of the project was still in the rough framing stage. After the project was complete Diane even consulted regarding colors for another client of mine in the neighborhood. > > I would love to have followed Diane on to her next project. I wish Diane success her future projects and highly recommend her as a design and construction professional. Diane's organizational skills, creative design ideas, and clear, calm communication style make her a great choice for design and management of construction projects. **Comment from Diane Burcz Interior Design:** > Thank you so much. I enjoyed working with you as well. **★★★★★ — architects2boston, July 2013** > Architects 2, Newton, Ma, hired DBID for our 9 unit housing project. We are extremely pleased with her input & execution. There will be a good integration of design theme from the exterior and, thanks to her design skills, right on thru the interior spaces. Diane is a joy to work with. This was our second collaboration together & look forward to the next. **Comment from Diane Burcz Interior Design:** > Thank you so much! It has been great collaborating with you and I look forward to doing it again as well. **★★★★★ — pegbogle, June 2013** > I first became familiar with Diane’s wonderful design work in our casual conversations about her Berkeley home redesign/remodel. Then I saw her home, and wow! What I loved about it was how she blended the beauty of an older classic structure with the clean lines of contemporary and practical design ideas. > Still, I wasn’t sure if she would be able to take our blend of antiques and a more traditional aesthetic and help us bring it up to date without scrapping every thing. Even more challengingly, could she incorporate my and my husband’s different, even seemingly opposing visions, and work with our budget too? > She could and she did, and we were very happy about how our project evolved. We started with wall color changes throughout our main floor living areas which carried through, up the stairway and into the second floor hallway. > As that unfolded, she took us through the next steps of how to upgrade our upholstered furniture pieces. Again, she creatively worked with all our limitations, including my Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, which necessarily limit many of our textile choices and sources. > With Diane’s continuing help, now from across the country where her family relocated, she continues to guide us and direct us in creating the living areas we want, down to lighting and even pillow options. I continue to be delighted by how she can take our general input and combine it with an almost intuitive knowledge of our needs as well as respect for our budget limits, and provide us with multiple exciting yet practical options from which to choose. > Diane continues to be everything we want in a designer…creative, innovative, knowledgeable, practical, responsive to our input, and meticulous about details. We are so pleased! > > 6/13 **Comment from Diane Burcz Interior Design:** > Thank you! It has been a pleasure working with you long distance. Be well. **★★★★★ — kathieberg, Nov. 2012** > I worked with Diane in a professional capacity. I have listed two houses where she was responsible for the design work. > > Diane has a great eye. she incorporates simple and often inexpensive touches in the larger work. I have used some of Diane’s ideas myself when staging houses that I put on the market. > > I highly recommend Diane Burcz as a designer. **Comment from Diane Burcz Interior Design:** > Thank you, Kathie. Realtors are an important partner in the home design and renovation industry. I appreciate your support! ## Selected projects - [Urban Bath Reimagined](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/urban-bath-reimagined-pj-vj~6478075) - Location: Boston, MA - Photos: 8 - Description: The design and renovation of this 92 square foot, L-shaped bathroom in a third-floor condominium in Boston’s Downtown Crossing shows that an inviting and calm space can be created using materials like concrete, stainless steel and wood.

I love creating highly functional and beautiful kitchens and bathrooms for my clients. **Do you specialize in a particular design style or kind (modern, contemporary, luxury)?** Yes, I am particularly drawn to mid-century modern and Scandinavian styles, emphasizing clean lines, natural materials, and functionality.

We often incorporate tactile textures and award-winning modern designs. **Do you provide full-service design or design-only plans?** We provide full-service interior design.

My goal is to deliver a complete, beautifully renovated home for you to enjoy. **Do you create optimized layouts for small or challenging spaces?** Absolutely!

Do you know the brand? A: It is a flatweave wool rug from Serena & Lily. **Q: Where can i find the organizational wall unit** *(in Photo Questions)* Love the wall unit, where can i find this product A: Hi Mark. The wall unit is made by Kerf Design. You can purchase the wall and storage components at kerfdesign.com/kerf-wall. Please note that two of the attachments were custom-made for this project. Thank you. Diane **Q: wood cabinets lower** *(in Photo Questions)* What type of wood are lower cabinets? Thanks A: Lower cabinets are cerused oak. Thank you for asking! **Q: how well does this design keep water in shower?** *(in Photo Questions)* I see partial enclosure and designed pretty well for children with handles accessible from outside. Any tweeks recommended? I am so undecided but slider doors are OUT! A: The rain shower head keeps main shower spray pointed down rather than to the opposite wall like a wall-mounted shower head might do. There is a plastic gasket at the bottom of the glass door that directs water back into the tub. For any water that does escape, the wall tile extends about 6" beyond the tub and a bath mat at the corner of the tub catches any stray water. To facilitate access to the tub, the glass door opens over the toilet seat, allowing for almost-full access to the tub for bathing and cleaning. If needed, a second glass door could be installed at the open end. This was my teenage daughter's bathroom and it functioned well, as shown. Thank you for asking. Diane **Q: Room is amazing love the floor** *(in Photo Questions)* Is that a rug on the floor? If so is it on top of carpet- love your work A: Thank you! The floor is hydronic heated concrete and the rug is a flat-weave wool rug from Serena and Lily (no longer offered). **Q: What are those wall panels made of?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The wall tile is Athens Silver Cream limestone from Ann Sacks. The floor tiles are the same but in a smaller size. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-24.*
