### Reviews

**★★★★★ — WHB, May 2018**

> We love our upper east side apartment thanks to the Rinfret Group! Denise and Missy were essential in every aspect from start to finish and helped us develop a clear vision from the beginning to guide us on everything from choosing paint colors to breaking up a large open space into functional living spaces.  They have an eye for details that will transform a room - a corner banquet, elegant lighting, the perfect trim on custom drapery....as well as for how to integrate our existing pieces so that it feels like our home, but entirely refreshed!  Denise and Missy were great at keeping me focused but still involved in even the smallest touches like which finial I preferred for a set of lamps.  Somehow they have the winning combination of being timeless and fresh at the same time...our apartment is now a stylish home that is still functional for a family with a young child...classic decor with modern touches.  We can't thank the Rinfret Group enough...they bring a vision I simply did not have - how combining certain fabrics and textures and finishing touches would create our perfect home.

**★★★★★ — Alicia Cho, Sept. 2017**

> Denise and Missy have a great eye for clean, classic, elegance.  Every scheme they showed us featured an amazing combination of fabrics, textures, and colors that struck the perfect balance of fresh sophistication that we were striving for but couldn't dream of ourselves.  Every space in our home now exhibits a unique vision, yet they all coordinate and blend beautifully into one another.  We are fortunate to have had Denise and Missy guiding the transformation of our home, and look forward to working with them again in the future.

**★★★★★ — carolnam26, Oct. 2016**

> My husband and I have been working with Denise for about a year now, and the experience has been absolutely wonderful so far.  She is smart, pleasant to work with, and has exquisite taste in both construction details and home furnishings. In addition, she is never too busy to answer a call or make time for important meetings.  She has turned a sometimes stressful experience into a positive one, and I am very much looking forward to continue working with her on this and all future design projects.

**★★★★★ — jenuppal, Oct. 2016**

> My husband and I just bought a new home and were in dire need of a new  kitchen.  We needed someone who could recreate a  small galley kitchen & breakfast room into a bigger more user friendly space.  Our first meeting with this dynamic duo team was spent just talking about what our needs were. They took measures, photos etc and came back a week later with a schematic that was much more than we could have imagined.  (FYI, this is the 3rd designer we had meetings with). They had every detail covered, from the hood, moldings, cabinet color selections and countertop options.. it was very well planned out (they brought samples with them).. we were very impressed. They clearly had a lot of experience and gave us much confidence to go ahead with the design. Throughout the process they worked closely with our contractor to create solutions to the typical minor issues that occur such as changing out a paint a color I had decided I no longer wanted.  I think the thing I loved the most about this team is that they took care of all the questions and decisions knowing what we wanted and causing the least amount of stress for my husband and I during this lengthy renovation process.  We could not be happier with the outcome !!!  Thank you both Denise & Missy !!!
> PS. The project is almost complete!! I am an awful photographer - these photo does NOT do the space any justice.

**★★★★★ — Kaitlin Connors, Oct. 2016**

> Missy & Denise are two very talented women with a fantastic eye for prints and color. I hired the Rinfret Group to spice things up in my neutral palette home and now I have doses of color and fun prints in small spaces, so nothing feels overwhelming. I fell in love with their idea of wallpapering ceilings in my foyer and office. It gave the room a really fun accent! I highly recommend using the Rinfret Group for a small or large project. Missy & Denise are incredibly easy to work with and have classic taste with some edge!

**★★★★★ — Stefania Geraci, Oct. 2016**

> I love The Rinfret Group. Denise and Missy are an absolute pleasure.  I take for granted that they are going to bring me beautiful ideas and designs and that everything is going to look fantastic.  What I truly appreciate about them is that they provide guidance while giving you the freedom to choose.  They are open to my feedback and patient when I ask for another round of suggestions, even after a choice has been made. Perhaps critically, they are cost conscious without sacrificing quality or aesthetic.  We are only half way through decorating my home and I can't wait to keep going.

**★★★★★ — tantillo1, Nov. 2015**

> Before I hired the Rinfret Group I had interviewed a number of designer people in my area
> The Rinfret people were the only ones which really listened to what our thoughts and interest were. Through that process created a spectacular vision for my den. We now have a den that is worthy to be displayed in a home magazine. This was all done within the budget we agreed upon.

**★★★★★ — yogijack, Oct. 2015**

> Denise has been wonderful to work with.  Love everything that she has done. Very accomodating and gives a range of options to choose from. I would absolutely hire her again!!!!

**★★★★★ — wendytruth, Sept. 2015**

> I recently hired the Rinfret Group to stage my home in NAntucket, Ma. Before I put the house on the market.  They had four weeks to design, source and execute a plan on a budget.  They took what was a very formal home and turned it into a welcoming generational summer house.  They are a pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with them in my next house.  Denise and Missy have an amazing sense of style but the one thing I greatly respect is that they LISTEN to what their client wants.   This made the process easier to execute.

**★★★★★ — rlafaire, Sept. 2015**

> Rinfret Interiors is a wonderful company!  Denise and her team have designed the entire first floor and many of the bedrooms on the second floor of my home.  Each room was thoughtfully planned, in terms of my design aesthetic and budget.  Stunning!  Denise was a wonderul partner!  She listened carefully and created spaces that are warm and inviting.  My guests all ask who my designer was!  I can't wait until I complete the rest of my project!

**★★★★★ — mgalvi01, March 2015**

> The Rinfret Group did a fantastic job on my NYC studio.  They found beautiful bespoke pieces that made a small space look much larger and livable.  The pieces were shopped to perfection and numerous options were put in front of me to allow me to find the perfect piece without ever having to go to a single store.  They met with me, understood my taste instantly and far exceeded my expectations.  They shopped pieces at all different price points so as to give me as many options I needed and to allow me to comfortably pick within my budget.  Highly recommend for all projects!

**★★★★★ — mdegrego, Sept. 2014**

> The Rinfret Group was hired to do full interior decorating for all rooms in our house.  Additionally, they have selected the entire color scheme and worked with our contractor, landscaper, painter, and other service professionals to create a consistent and flowing style throughout the interior and exterior of our house.  Our white colonial was made to fit the relaxed and simple feel that reflected our personalities.  The Rinfret group selected all furniture, window treatments, floor coverings lighting, and bedding while highlighting the personality of each room with fitting accessories.  On the exterior, they assisted in pool, patio, and deck design.  Their meticulous attention to detail and friendly demeanor are benefits for any client.
