As a residential realtor, I have referred Ken to a number of clients who benefited from his ability to transform otherwise ordinary rooms into sanctuary spaces. Because of his keen aesthetic, I recently asked Ken to revive the formal rooms in my own house by introducing exciting new pieces while tweaking the old ones to give them new life. And his approach is great because it always involves a number of beautiful options at various price points. Best of all, he is a lot of fun to work with!! My husband and I would highly recommend Ken for any job large or small! **★★★★★ — penleykidd, Dec. 2017** > Ken took a house that was in pretty bad shape and updated it by doing heavy heavy cosmetic > Changes including completely redoing three fireplaces and renovating the kitchen as well. He also repurposed some furniture in two rooms but basically decorated a six bedroom house including all the common rooms . He did a superb job and our family could not have been happier . He and his entire staff are delight to work with . They are the consumate professionals. Ken Gemes has exquisite taste and I would highly recommend > Him. He has to date completed two beach houses for our family and each time we have been thrilled . **★★★★★ — ruthwood48, Dec. 2017** > Ken is a rock star designer. He has an amazing eye and transforms every space he touches. He has done 3 homes for me and he gets better each time! **★★★★★ — Leslie Alberti, Dec. 2017** > My husband and I have hired Ken Gemes for 3 projects over the span of 15 years. He has an incredible talent for creating timeless, beautiful spaces that are both stylish and livable. I have been able to count on him for meeting our deadlines and being transparent on costs. His staff are helpful and knowledgable and a pleasure throughout each project we've done. I love his work and can't speak highly enough of him! I can't wait for our next project. **★★★★★ — Karla Smith, Dec. 2017** > Ken Gemes is the most talented designer I have ever worked with. He has impeccable taste and is so easy to work with. He is definitely a perfectionist and wants everything exactly right. If it’s not done properly it is redone. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a superb designer. He is the best. **★★★★★ — Greenwich Tile and Marble, Dec. 2017** > We have worked with Ken Gemes and his team for many years and cannot say enough great things. He brings unparalleled enthusiasm and passion to every project and his knowledge and skills are top notch. **★★★★★ — Jim Keating, Jan. 2017** > We have been working with Ken and his team for over a decade. Ken is easy to work with, has a phenomenal sense of style and is always focused on the client's vision. Ken helped us with a major renovation project and interior design of our house in Bronxville, NY in 2005 together with periodic subsequent updates. More recently we did a gut renovation of a NYC pre-war apartment. Ken advised us on many of the critical architectural/construction elements of the project and did the entire interior design. The space turned out to be chic, cozy and spectacular. Ken then helped us turn an historic house in Connecticut into a comfortable, warm and sophisticated home. Ken is the best! We would never do a design project without his cutting edge advice. **Comment from Ken Gemes Interiors:** > Jim, > I have enjoyed working with you over the years. It's been a fun journey watching your kid's grow up and designing and re-designing family spaces to suit current needs. I look forward to many years to come with the Keatings! **★★★★★ — Karin Kulsar, Jan. 2017** > We have had the pleasure of working with Ken Gemes Interiors after being introduced by our builder. Ken and his team masterfully had the vision to help pull together our home from construction site of a house originally built in 1910 to the gorgeous finished product we have lived in for almost 4 years. His expertise with dimension and space is truly remarkable. The taste level and honed choices of color, fabric, furniture, and artwork made for a thoroughly enjoyable and unique experience. While there is a certain “Ken Gemes” look, each home he works on is its own entity. Not to be overlooked, he is also one of the nicest and most personable people you will ever meet. **★★★★★ — Pamela Codispoti, Dec. 2016** > I wholeheartedly recommend Ken Gemes Interiors. I met Ken when we bought our new home. We were moving from New York City to the suburbs so needed to completely decorate our house. Ken designed our interior and also acted as our central planner with architects, contractors, painters and more. I honestly do not know what we would have done without Ken's creativity, impeccable taste, strong project management and highly capable team. In six short months, Ken created our dream home. When we walked in the door after the installation, I literally cried with joy. I can't thank Ken enough for helping us design our beautiful home. He is nothing short of fantastic. We will certainly be working with Ken and his team again in the future. **★★★★★ — Elizabeth Quigley, Dec. 2016** > Ken Gemes has a wonderful eye for color, fabrics and furniture. He has the ability to mix antiques with new or vintage pieces for an updated fresh look. He doesn't make a home seem like a museum, but a place where children and dogs are also welcome. No matter the size of a project, he is a perfectionist and attends to every detail from carpet installation to pillow placement. Since I live in a home built in the 1920's, he has also been able to find solutions for every problem from radiator placement in a room to craving out more storage space in a tiny bathroom.I have worked with Ken on many occasions over the past 10 years. He is professional, willing to be flexible and is always responsive. **Comment from Ken Gemes Interiors:** > It has been such a pleasure working with you over the years. Your home has continued to evolve and looks so fresh and current for today's living. We look forward to many more years with you & your family! **★★★★★ — Susan Estes, Dec. 2016** > Ken Gemes is a creative, passionate, and determined interior designer who transformed my house into a contemporary and tasteful space. His innovative eye and keen sense of style has contributed to his success as a designer. I especially appreciate the time he has devoted to my project and the high quality that was achieved. I give my highest regards to Ken Gemes, his team, and his work. **★★★★★ — Nina Richter, Dec. 2016** > Ken is wonderful to work with. Not only does he have a great sense of design and space, he has an in depth eye for color. His staff is equally nice to work with and are always eager to answer a question or help out in any way. I would fully recommend Ken Gemes Interiors! ## Selected projects - [Hamptons](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hamptons-pj-vj~1956308) - Location: Westhampton, NY - Photos: 14 - [White Plains](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/white-plains-pj-vj~1963634) - Location: White Plains, NY - Photos: 13 - Description: This 1910 Manor House had beautiful historical detail, which we focused on and built around when it was fully renovated recently.

Tints of color were used in most rooms in shades of gray, pale blues and sea salt. Sisal carpets were used to add texture, instead of pattern in the rooms.
