After seeing how great she was working with her clients when they came into my office, I recommended her to my mother-in-law. She went above and beyond helping to make Mom's downsizing move a positive experience, with as little stress as possible. She was able to help with selecting which items would stay and what would go, she even helped recommend what window treatments could be re-purposed and helped with the selection of new pieces. I would highly recommend Stacie for all your decorating needs! **Comment from Stacie Podos Interiors,LLC / Combine by Design:** > Thank you Tami. It was a pleasure working with both you and Rose! **★★★★★ — rhonp, April 2016** > I needed to update my kitchen, entrance way and hallways after 23 years, but without remodeling everything. I didn't know where to begin and I never used a decorator before. Stacie was the best hire I made. She was honest, not pushy. She gave us the space and time needed to look items over, shop on our own and then helped guide us to making decisions. I love the new look we achieved in the kitchen, while still using my cabinets, granite countertops and fairly new appliances. Every contractor Stacie uses was a professional- neat, clean, courteous and most importantly, trustworthy. I recommend Stacie Podos Interiors for any job, large or small, that you may be considering in your home. **Comment from Stacie Podos Interiors,LLC / Combine by Design:** > Thank you Rhonda, it was a pleasure working with you! **★★★★★ — User, Aug. 2015** > My design relationship with Stacie began in 1997. At the time, I was replacing wallpaper and carpeting in my family room. Over the years I called on her talents to add to existing decor or redesign an entire room. > > In 2014 I sold my home and moved to a townhouse. I could not have done this move without her! Stacie designed every room using furniture, area carpets, and accessories from my house and, then, created a plan to complete each room. She organized delivery and installation details. Within one week of moving into the townhouse it was beautifully furnished, comfortable and livable. > > Stacie has a vision for every project and exquisite attention to detail while always keeping in mind the client's budget and preferences. **★★★★★ — carla\_cohn, Aug. 2015** > I have worked with Stacie on multiple occasions and have been thrilled each time. One of our projects was to switch and decorate the sitting room and dining room. She covered every detail and was very respectful of both my budget and using existing pieces that I wanted to keep. She was very creative, making a bar from a beautiful antique amoire and was very careful making sure everything fit together. I was always impressed when she found unique pieces that fit into the room perfectly. **★★★★★ — hms615, Aug. 2015** > My home is gorgeous thanks to my decorator and designer, Stacie Podos. She is extremely creative and up to date. She interpretes your taste and expands it within your comfort zone to create a beautiful environment. She works within your budget. My husband and I love working with her. **★★★★★ — dsklow, Aug. 2015** > I hired Stacie Podos Interiors to decorate my great room and master bedroom. She picked out a wonderful carpet for the great room, reaplustered my couches and designed drapes and a valence. In my bedroom she put in new carpet, over size chairs in front of the fireplace with an ottoman and designed beautiful window treatments. I would highly recommend working with Stacie, she listens to what you want and has great taste when it comes to picking out fabrics,and putting together an entire room. **★★★★★ — Cindy Einstein, Aug. 2015** > Stacie was a pleasure to work with. She listened and never pushed. She kept searching until she found something we both agreed upon ## Selected projects - [Beach House Renovation: Before & After](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beach-house-renovation-before-and-after-pj-vj~1253681) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Traditional Home in Rockland County](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-home-in-rockland-county-pj-vj~1251171) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Adult Community in Somerset NJ](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/adult-community-in-somerset-nj-pj-vj~1251308) - Location: Franklin Township, NJ - Photos: 5 - [Waldwick, NJ](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/waldwick-nj-pj-vj~1251286) - Location: Waldwick, NJ - Photos: 3 - [An Entertainers's Delight in Woodcliff Lake, NJ](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/an-entertainers-s-delight-in-woodcliff-lake-nj-pj-vj~1262599) - Location: Woodcliff Lake, NJ - Photos: 6 - [Transitional in Suffern NY](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-in-suffern-ny-pj-vj~1242307) - Location: Suffern, NY - Photos: 2 - [Contemporary in Chestnut Ridge](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-in-chestnut-ridge-pj-vj~1251253) - Location: Chestnut Ridge, NY - Photos: 4 - [exciting bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/exciting-bathrooms-pj-vj~2524011) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Farmhouse family room in Westchester](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/farmhouse-family-room-in-westchester-pj-vj~1276225) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Family Room in New City, NY](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/family-room-in-new-city-ny-pj-vj~1251417) - Location: New City, NY - Photos: 1 - [Adult Community in Pearl River NY](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/adult-community-in-pearl-river-ny-pj-vj~1251408) - Location: Pearl River, NY - Photos: 2 - [Basement update](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/basement-update-pj-vj~1251401) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Contemporary in New City, NY](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-in-new-city-ny-pj-vj~1251257) - Location: New City, NY - Photos: 5 - [Contemporary Bachelor Pad](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-bachelor-pad-pj-vj~1276229) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [BOYNTON BEACH NEW CONSTRUCTION](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/boynton-beach-new-construction-pj-vj~6900361) - Location: Boynton Beach, FL - Photos: 2 - [Beach House Family Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beach-house-family-room-pj-vj~6529806) - Location: Long Beach, NJ - Photos: 2 - Description: This welcoming seaside family room has something for everyone...Plenty of comfortable seating, a bar area and writing nook. - [OCEAN FRONT TRANSFORMATION](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ocean-front-transformation-pj-vj~6900329) - Location: Long Beach, NJ - Photos: 5 - [LONG BEACH ISLAND RENOVATION](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/long-beach-island-renovation-pj-vj~6900304) - Location: Beach Haven, NJ - Photos: 2 - [Contemporary Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-kitchen-pj-vj~6529839) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Beach Front Master Bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beach-front-master-bedroom-pj-vj~6529781) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 [See all 20 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/stacie-podos-interiors-llc-combine-by-design-pfvwus-pf~218363601) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/116580552/list/wish-list) — 33 ideas - [jordan](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/60118343/list/jordan) — 1 idea [See all 2 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/combinebydesign) ## Community Q&A **Q: vanity** *(in Photo Questions)* Who made the vanity cabinet? A: The cabinet is from Home Decorators **Q: Where's the sofa from?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: These sofas were customized from Kravet furniture **Q: Living room needs new rug** *(in Design Dilemma)* Hello, Looking for a new rug for the living room. Attaching photos. Need suggestions on size and type color of rugs. Any other suggestions to give the room some character are also welcome and appreciated. Thank you in advance. A: Find a pro that lves in your area and possibly charges by the hour since you already have the main pieces. You need either an 8x10 or 9x12 area rug, a new coffee table and some throw pillows. You can add more art work and acessories depending on your budget **Q: Why is split ductless so expensive when installed?** *(in Heating & Air Conditioning)* Hi, Long time reader, first post. I have a question, and it seems like some solid answers for other situations have been discussed before. I live in an old baloon frame wood home, built in the 1930s, with radiator heat. Easy to run stuff through the walls, go up multi-levels through the walls, etc. We dont have central air, and liked the control of a split system, so tried to get some quotes. I know the retail and wholesale pricing for the equipment. For example, one unit we were considering, just a single split unit (1:1), was $1500 wholesale, $2200 retail. The installed cost for this unit is being quoted at $4500. I can certainly appreciate that the burdened cost of labor is around $100/hr. I can appreciate that everyone wants to make a profit. But $2500 or so for all this? So my question really is, how tough is it to install these things that the costs to install are so high? I see it as the fact that $2500 in installation is like 25 man-hours at $100 per hr burdened rate. Thats three guys for a day. I was under the impression that the ductless is cheaper/easier to install than a ducted system, so the install is straightforward and managable. So where is the cost for doing this coming from? It is less than 25' of tubing run from the outdoor to indoor unit. It is a first floor install on an outer wall. Nothing exotic. A 4:1 that I asked to be quoted came similarly. Roughly $15k for an installed 4:1 system with 4 indoor units, where the equipment cost is around $5k complete. So $10k to install some pipes and wires? What gives? Im all for paying well to get a good job done. But this is a pretty straightforward install. Why are ductless installs so pricey? Thanks! A: I too am sick over the cost of these systems, but with that said, can anyone recommend which is a better mini split unit? It is between Trane and Fujitsu, although if I want to spend another $2500 I could go with Mitsubishi. Thoughts?? --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-09.*
