The cabinets were in great condition but needed a face lift. Reem had helped some of my friends and I knew her she put a lot of heart into her work. I had no idea where to start with paint colors. She helped me pick the paint colors I was hoping for to coordinate with my existing color scheme. She helped me visualize what the colors would look like with her digital imaging and really gave me the confidence I needed that this project would look great! **★★★★★ — ranyas, May 2022** > This was a project I thought about for a long time but had no idea where to start. Reem knew exactly what to do from start to finish. The end result was beyond my expectations. Her skills were top notch in picking the right paint colors, the right style and finish of hardware, and the right wood stain finish. She even provided tips on the rights questions to ask the prospective painters. Reem is truly a joy to work with and I can’t imagine doing this project with anyone else! I’m ready to take on another project with Reem. **★★★★★ — Nour Baki, Dec. 2019** > I just want to take the time to say how great Reem is. Prior to hiring her as my interior designer I had been through a few designers and she has by far exceeded my expectations. She always provided me with her professional opinion while respecting what I wanted at the same time. She remodeled my kitchen and living room and it looks even better that I had envisioned. And the best part is that she was able to stay reasonably within our budget. If you are looking for an interior designer and you come across Reem Akkad, stop there. You are in good hands. I have more projects in mind and I would never go with anyone else but Reem. She is truly the best of the best! **★★★★★ — Fsal, Sept. 2019** > It is so easy to give Reem Akkad from Reem Akkad Design five stars. If there were a higher ranking I would give it to her as well! Reem was with me in designing my new build all the way from the blue print stage. My husband and I decided to enlist her from the beginning in order to make the most wisest decisions for our new house. I’m honestly not sure what I would have done had Reem not been there since day one. Probably waste a ton of money as well as make too many poor choices. One of my most important requirements was that I wanted my entire house to fit (size and color) my existing furniture pieces from my other house. Reem kept that in mind the entire time and helped me plan every detail around existing furniture. We worked together on a daily basis, step by step. Her knowledge of materials, shops, websites in every stage of the building process is vast and superb. Her creativity is out of this world. She can use the most mundane of materials and create magic out of it. She was able to use wooden carved headboards and create a masterpiece in my great room. Now that we are finally moved in, there isn’t a single person who enters my house and doesn’t marvel her handiwork, her attention to detail, and the magic she did to make my house an absolute joy every time I walk in. Furthermore, Reem is trustworthy, fair, and honest. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a breathtaking space!! **★★★★★ — HU-927906989, Sept. 2019** > Reem Akkad design was incredible!

She designed our pharmacy, Wellness Pharmacy in Troy, MI and made it a beautiful place and a second home for us. She’s creative and innovative and working with her was a true pleasure and we’ll definitely work on future projects with her. **★★★★★ — bounini, Jan. 2016** > Love working with Reem, as a professional she is very talented, creative, elegant , and most important she listens to the need of her clients. As a person, she is very honest, helpful, and resonable. I am very comfortable working with her, and I am confidence that my house will turn to be so unique and beautiful. **★★★★★ — Art of Shadia - fine art/murals/faux, Nov. 2014** > I've worked as a faux finisher with Reem Akkad on numerous projects. Reem has a distinctive ability to blend her client's desire with her own innovative vision to create impeccably designed spaces. Her professionalism, experience, wisdom, and resourcefulness combine with her highly developed sense for textures and materials to create outstanding finished projects. Further, she is a pleasure to work with and is clearly dedicated to exceeding expectations. **★★★★★ — bnada, Oct. 2014** > Overall outstanding experience! Reem is a talented designer, and she helped transform my house to a gorgeous home. She brought the pictures that I selected to design my house into reality. She understands my needs, and worked hard to accommodate them. She has a lot of great ideas, motivation, and potential. She's very productive when it comes to teamwork . I'll definitely work with Reem in the future, and I highly recommend her to everyone. **★★★★★ — drnashef, Oct. 2014** > I hired Reem for the interior designing part of my new Dental Office in West Bloomfield after seeing her work at a friend's house and the only thing I regret is not getting her hired sooner than I did. > I wanted a unique and elegant space without the intimidating extravagance of five-star resort or spa... Something very classy yet warm and comfortable.... and she did exactly that ... > I talked to a general contractor who built no less than 120 dental offices during his career and he said that our office stands out way above most simply due to the interior design elements that made it that much richer looking and uniquely more beautiful than the rest. > In addition to having an amazing taste in design....Reem was very patient, diligent and accommodating throughout the entire project. > Reem was able to keep the project final cost within very reasonable margin of my initial budget and she was able to save me more than her fees cost, without compromising the quality of the work, in certain areas of the design.... something that I really appreciated... > I recommend Reem's services for all friends that are doing residential or business projects. ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/103681825/list/wish-list) — 35 ideas - [Furniture](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/128179833/list/furniture) — 1 idea - [Hoods](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/120989478/list/hoods) — 4 ideas - [Pharmacy](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/120832966/list/pharmacy) — 13 ideas - [Living Room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/116573788/list/living-room) — 1 idea [See all 5 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/reemakkad) ## Community Q&A **Q: Love the mini-crystal Chandeliers!
