I've worked with lots of designers, she is one of the best by far! **Comment from The Interior Edge:** > Thanks Jay! That is quit a compliment coming from one of the best yourself. > Many thanks, > Joanne **★★★★★ — Pistritto Marble Imports, Inc., July 2016** > Joanne is an excellent person to work with. Our company has been working with Joanne Reilly for years and every experience is a great one. **Comment from The Interior Edge:** > Thank you so much! It has been wonderful working with you over the past 27 years!!! We have done a lot of great work in stone together, everything from custom tables to giant fireplaces, and massive amounts of kitchen coutertops and backsplashes. Each client has loved them! Thanks for being on our team:-) Joanne **★★★★★ — colleen779allen, April 2016** > Joanne Riley and her crew at The Interior Edge have been transforming three of our homes over the last 15 years. She is professional, always positive and gifted in design. From the conceptualization to the detail of overseeing the placement of art on the walls, she oversees every detail of her projects. Working together with Joaane has been a Joy and I look forward to our next project! **★★★★★ — lynne gagliardi, Jan. 2016** > I have had the pleasure of knowing Joanne Riley for almost 20 years. We met when I built my first house and was in need of a decorator. I was looking for someone to help me pick colors, furniture and fabrics to help me turn a house into a home! Little did I know- but I was about to meet a person who would become more than just a decorator. She became a life-long friend and worked to help me put my own personal style and unique spin on EVERY room in my home- and she allowed me to do it all on a budget! > > Joanne uses her unique talents and abilities along with her innate understanding of people, to translate the customers emotions and thoughts into visual design. The end product is always greater than what I (the customer) could have ever imagine!!!! She makes sure the space is a reflection of the person living in it. She is open to changes in the design process along the way and is flexible and willing to call or swing by on a moments notice if a problem arises. > > Joanne and her team offer comprehensive services. Most importantly, they take care of EVERY detail that contributes to the successful actualization of the design. Although designing or remodeling a home can often be daunting, Joanne and her team make every effort to ensure that the process is easy and fun! > > I recently completed a remodel of my kitchen and dining room area right before the holidays. Without Joanne and the Interior Edge, this would not have been possible. New flooring, lighting, paint, window treatments and reupholstering of furniture all occurred in a 4 week time span! Every detail from the ordering of the new supplies to the booking of the workers was taken care of for me. The transformation was incredible and she stayed within my budget! I am soooooooooooooooooo pleased with the outcome, that I will be remodeling some bathrooms in the spring! I look forward to working with Joanne and her team again in the near future! She is truly a master of her craft, but more importantly is someone who cares deeply about the heart and soul of the client or the family she is working with!!!! > Update 12/2016! The Interior Edge (under the guidance and supervision of Joanne Riley) is currently under contract to transform my bonus room above my three car garage into a master bedroom suite!!!! Again- I am on a very tight budget - but have full confidence in Joanne and her team to make this a reality! The designs have been drawn up, and the materials are picked out. I am using the same laborers who did my kitchen remodel last year so I KNOW this room will be a wonderful addition to my home! I would NEVER use anyone else when looking to decorate or remodel a home. Joanne will be with me EVERY step of the way- and will LISTEN to my ideas and concerns throughout the entire project! The Interior Edge is the ONLY company I will EVER work with! Best design team EVER! **Comment from The Interior Edge:** > Thank you so much! You are wonderful! I always seem to get so much from my work and clients. You are a joy to have in my life!!! > I cannot wait for spring:-) > Joanne **★★★★★ — jill995, Jan. 2016** > We hired Joanne and her team to help us do the entire interior of our lake house. They assisted us in choosing paint colors, bathroom and kitchen fixtures, lighting plans etc. All was done professionally and the end product was great. As for our furnishings, we spent an afternoon in their office and pretty much had the entire house furnished. Their presentation of colors, fabrics, floor plans and samples were second to none. I would highly recommend Joanne and her team for any job you might have. **★★★★★ — cwg1, Jan. 2016** > Joanne Riley is an incredibly experienced designer, who excels in understanding her clients' wants and needs and translating them into beautiful homes that exceed their expectations. Joanne has worked with me over a 30 year period in three different homes, one a traditional home in CT, one a transitional home in CA and one a beach cottage. Her work for me has included almost all aspects of interior design. I can't say enough about her positive attitude and energy. She really listens and never pushes back when you ask for something different than she proposes or to see more ideas or designs. She meets her deadlines satisfactorily, **Comment from The Interior Edge:** > Thank you so much! It has been my great luck to have had you as my very first client in life. A bigger gift nobody could ask for. > Much love and gratitude! > Joanne **★★★★★ — Debbie Q, Jan. 2016** > I thoroughly enjoyed working with The Interior Edge. Joanne and her team were always professional and accommodating. They listened to me with my wants and needs. From choosing the fabrics and paint colors to the final installation, my dining room and bedroom came out exactly the way I had envisioned it. I would highly recommend The Interior Edge. **Comment from The Interior Edge:** > Thank you very much! You are a joy to work with:-) > Joanne **★★★★★ — Berkshire Fabric & Wallpaper, Jan. 2016** > Berkshire Fabric & Wallpper is a supplier for Interior Edge. Joanne and her team are true professionals, and a pleasure to work with. Very creative with her designs and not afraid to think out of the box, to go beyond your expectations. I highly recommend Interior Edge for all your design needs. Awesome team. A+++ **★★★★★ — cherylsmall87, Dec. 2015** > Joanne and the Interior Edge was one of the best recommendations I received when I purchased my home in Williamstown. Working with her I was able to create a dream home from an empty house to use as my summer place in the Berkshires. It was a fabulous experience from end to end where I ended up with a home I love feeling so well taken care of throughout the process. Every detail was handled professionally and perfectly and a,ways with a wonderful personal touch that make it very special! **Comment from The Interior Edge:** > Thank you so much! We make a great team!!! I love all the custom elements we created:-) > I hope you enjoy your lovely home for years to come!!! **★★★★★ — Decorative Crafts, Sept. 2014** > Joanne has been sourcing from us for many years, and has always done a wonderful job incorporating our pieces into her stunning interiors. She is able to combine items from many different sources with a tasteful eye; creating customized, timeless interiors. Decorative Crafts highly recommends The Interior Edge for your design needs. **Comment from The Interior Edge:** > Thank you! Your products are as well built as they are beautiful. They help make any space desirable! ## Selected projects - [Central Park Living](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/central-park-living-pj-vj~103587) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 10 - Description: We loved doing this project! It was a complete renovation of a condo in New York City's Upper East Side. The project was fun because it was the first home the clients were doing together, so every decision brought new insight and the design unfolded magnificently! - [Garden Sunroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/garden-sunroom-pj-vj~78972) - Location: Hartford, CT - Photos: 3 - Description: This is a showhouse at the Auerbach Mansion. The room had seen better days when we found it. The bones were great so we kept them and decorated and restored the fountain. I believe they were well ahead of their time incorporating the sound of water, the feel of nature and the calm of fresh flower in an indoor space. The main element is the painstakingly hand painted murals by William Riley. We kept the original chandelier and painted the ceiling midnight blue. We also added the molding to keep t… - [City Living](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/city-living-pj-vj~81450) - Location: Hartford, CT - Photos: 10 - Description: This is Joanne Riley's previous residence that was completely gutted and rebuilt with all the amenities that could be done. The lighting, sound and function of the space were all brought into account. Each room brings it's own unique application to make the whole apartment worthy of an eight page spread in New England Home magazine. It is a fabulous experience to be in it! - [Fun and Formal](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fun-and-formal-pj-vj~125920) - Location: Madison, CT - Photos: 7 - Description: We designed this for two really fun clients that live full time in Manhattan and wanted a rich in depth and feel retreat for the weekends. They traveled all over the world and incorporated and literally translated some of those feelings and styles into their space. For example, she wanted to be in an old villa in the dining room and Russian bordello in the conservatory. On the other hand he wanted a touch of Egypt in the bath. Really a fun look and feel for them!!! - [All American](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/all-american-pj-vj~111896) - Location: Farmington, CT - Photos: 7 - Description: Devonwood - [Contemporary Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-kitchen-pj-vj~111933) - Location: East Granby, CT - Photos: 2 - [Paris Chic](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/paris-chic-pj-vj~125940) - Location: Avon, CT - Photos: 5 - Description: French formal style was what our clients really wanted. We restored the chairs by reupholstering them in a Old World Weavers Brocade woven silk fabric and hand painting on the frames. The sofa was imported from France and has a woven linen/silk damask fabric also from Scalamandre. The ottomans are in a Manuel Canovas slightly textured fabric. The rug is a hand woven silk Oriental. \*Meaning of Brocade: Brocade is a class of richly decorative shuttle-woven fabrics, often made in colored silks and… - [Traditional Grandeur](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-grandeur-pj-vj~125906) - Location: Essex, CT - Photos: 6 - [In Living Color](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/in-living-color-pj-vj~125927) - Location: West Simsbury, CT - Photos: 2 - [Living in a colorful painting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/living-in-a-colorful-painting-pj-vj~111839) - Location: Simsbury, CT - Photos: 5 - [The Bronze Age](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-bronze-age-pj-vj~111866) - Location: Greenwich, CT - Photos: 5 - [Making Music in the East Village](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/making-music-in-the-east-village-pj-vj~111915) - Location: East Village, manhattan, NY - Photos: 6 - Description: This condo is located in a flatiron building which made it a lot of fun! It helped that the main focal point is a window looking up Sixth Ave. at the Empire State Building. My client is a youngish professional male who liked to play the drums, so a great spot for them came first (in back of the sofa). Then a conversation area was made with custom sofas and a chair all in a matching fabric for a cohesive feeling in a more compact space. The existing high hats in the ceiling were used, but we cove… - [A Twist of Tradition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-twist-of-tradition-pj-vj~103567) - Location: Lenox, MA - Photos: 5 - [In the blue](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/in-the-blue-pj-vj~111911) - Location: Hartford, CT - Photos: 2 - [Stoner Mansion French Bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stoner-mansion-french-bedroom-pj-vj~78976) - Location: West Hartford, CT - Photos: 2 - [Beach, beach, beach](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beach-beach-beach-pj-vj~496599) - Location: Surf City, NJ - Photos: 7 - [Alice In Wonderland Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/alice-in-wonderland-room-pj-vj~2179774) - Location: Hartford, CT - Photos: 10 - [Fawn Run](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fawn-run-pj-vj~2231692) - Location: Glastonbury, CT - Photos: 29 [See all 18 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/the-interior-edge-pfvwus-pf~251695604) ## Ideabooks - [Lake Houses](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/88698675/list/lake-houses) — 19 ideas - [Foyer](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/22346808/list/foyer) — 6 ideas - [Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/57402955/list/kitchen) — 2 ideas - [Dark tile kitchen floors](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/53975726/list/dark-tile-kitchen-floors) — 6 ideas - [theinterioredgenyc's ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/5409621/list/theinterioredgenyc-s-ideas) — 2 ideas - [Mine](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/53819031/list/mine) — 18 ideas - [Bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/23179046/list/bedroom) — 3 ideas - [Four Chairs](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/53818852/list/four-chairs) — 9 ideas - [Lanesboro](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/53818965/list/lanesboro) — 1 idea - [Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/19789649/list/lighting) — 6 ideas - [Beam lighting](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/39614128/list/beam-lighting) — 23 ideas - [Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/22347121/list/bathroom) — 7 ideas - [Fireplace ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/39613442/list/fireplace-ideas) — 7 ideas - [Built-in](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/39615209/list/built-in) — 1 idea - [cozy nooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/39613653/list/cozy-nooks) — 2 ideas - [black and white](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/33601959/list/black-and-white) — 2 ideas - [Exterior Delights](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/13483799/list/exterior-delights) — 9 ideas - [Living Room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/21089799/list/living-room) — 3 ideas - [Dreamy Creamy Spaces](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/15875146/list/dreamy-creamy-spaces) — 9 ideas - [Dining Spaces](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/21233440/list/dining-spaces) — 6 ideas [See all 27 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/theinterioredge) ## Community Q&A **Q: where can I find this hide-a-bed?** *(in Photo Questions)* where can I find this hide-a-bed?
