I have worked with Barb for many years on projects ranging in size and detail, each one with its own set of challenges, yet each time Barb is able to listen to her client’s needs, maintain excellent communication, and help implement the construction. I highly recommend working with Barb. **★★★★★ — Pamela Conover, Oct. 2017** > Our experience was nothing but positive. Barbara has exquisite taste , a wonderful sense of space, great connections in the market, and many skilled craftsmen at her disposal. We would definitely use her service again. **★★★★★ — hinesks57, Oct. 2017** > I hired Kotzen Interiors to help me tie up loose ends in my home. We had finished a major renovation a few years previous and was ready to take on the master bedroom and living room. She listened well and brought me a variety of layout and design options as well as many fabric choices. He pricing was extremely fair and my project was completed in a very timely manor. Could not be happier with the beautiful rooms Barb decorated! **★★★★★ — juliemarriott4, Sept. 2017** > I would never undertake a remodeling or design project without Barbara Kotzen. I have worked with Barb for 18 years on projects ranging from renovation to new construction in both Massachusetts and Utah. Barb is professional, efficient and supremely capable. She sees every detail and works seamlessly with architects and builders to make sure every facet of both finish work and interior design works perfectly. Barb always delivers the highest quality on time and patiently works with me to find exactly what I’m looking for. I am always thrilled with the results, and if anything needs readjusting after installation, she jumps right back in and makes things perfect. Five stars all around. **★★★★★ — Jane J., Sept. 2017** > Barbara Kotzen has created the most beautiful spaces in our Boston home. She listens carefully to what we want and how we will use the space and has the unique ability to transform a room with a vision that far surpasses what I expected. Sometimes, it’s little touches — like pillows or lampshades, rugs, wallpaper or where to hang a picture. She’s also started from scratch in a room — with dazzling results. Barbara is a gem… a lovely person with an eye of a designer unlike anyone I’ve met. 5 stars, without question. **★★★★★ — P de Santis, Sept. 2017** > I have professionally collaborated with Barbara Kotzen for over 15 years during which time I have found her design aesthetic, professionalism, attention to detail and relationships with clients to be outstanding. Many of these relationships have led to her being hired to design subsequent projects for those clients. Barb listens to her clients and intuitively knows what they are looking for. Her eye for detail sets her apart and every one of her projects is worthy of being photographed professionally. On top of all of that she is fun to work with! I wholeheartedly recommend her. **★★★★★ — dpatkin, Sept. 2017** > Working with Barb is amazing. I met Barb because a builder had hired her to work on the home he was building which we purchased before construction was complete. From our first meeting I found Barb warm, easy to talk with and totally interested in what we wanted our new home to be. Together we chose stone, paint colors, flooring etc. and as the home got closer to completion I knew Barb was the only person to help us fill our new home with the perfect furnishings, window coverings, rugs and accessories. The process was always easy. Barb is a great listener and knew how to help me find the perfect pieces and make the best choices. She will tell you the pros and cons of anything you are considering and when we were finished I had exactly what I wanted in each and every room. It's sophisticated, cool but not too fussy and inviting all at the same time. Barb created a perfect place for our family. **★★★★★ — M Tucker, Sept. 2017** > Barb has been an invaluable part of my past & current home renovations, with many helpful ideas about topics such as floor plans, circulation, cabinet & shelving design, trim design, all aspects of color & finish, furniture selection and placement -- hopefully I haven't forgotten too many things in this list! And, Barb has provided me with referrals to numerous sources, including our home and landscape architects. **★★★★★ — melanie162, Sept. 2017** > Barbara not only has a great eye for design but for space planning. She is able to take any space and have it not only visually pleasing but functional. Works within a budget and makes sure the customer is always happy throughout the process. **★★★★★ — allisonmankivsky, Sept. 2017** > I have been a happy client of Barbara Kotzen's for over fifteen years, working extensively with her on houses in Wellesley and Westwood MA. She is both extremely talented in interior design, and very skilled at advising on decisions around space planning for renovations. She has extraordinary taste across a range of design styles, and has always been very responsive to my needs as a client, including when I've had to make changes. She is always professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — Bill Darcey, Jan. 2016** > Barbara is a true pro. She has helped me with three construction project and has worked beautifully with our contractors. She has such a depth of knowledge on every aspect of a project and then finished with beautiful decorating. I described my style as casual elegance and she created such a lovely scheme for our home. ## Selected projects - [Dover Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dover-residence-pj-vj~2697396) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 26 - [Chatham Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chatham-residence-pj-vj~2728522) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Ranch Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ranch-project-pj-vj~2728531) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 29 - [Chatham's Grey Ghost Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chatham-s-grey-ghost-residence-pj-vj~400049) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Weston Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/weston-residence-pj-vj~400082) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [Weston Residence 2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/weston-residence-2-pj-vj~400092) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Wellesley Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wellesley-residence-pj-vj~400077) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Utah Guesthouse Alpine](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/utah-guesthouse-alpine-pj-vj~400085) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Needham Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/needham-residence-pj-vj~400073) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [South Natick Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/south-natick-residence-pj-vj~400096) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 [See all 10 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/kotzen-interiors-llp-pfvwus-pf~377653668) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/104894879/list/wish-list) — 4 ideas - [modern farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/119028165/list/modern-farmhouse) — 5 ideas - [Millwork](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/78680013/list/millwork) — 14 ideas - [foyer](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/30194672/list/foyer) — 20 ideas - [bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/88557931/list/bathroom) — 2 ideas - [kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/8595728/list/kitchen) — 14 ideas - [Vertical V groove](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/79617863/list/vertical-v-groove) — 3 ideas - [kitchen hoods](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/87579508/list/kitchen-hoods) — 4 ideas - [Gracie wallpaper](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/78679938/list/gracie-wallpaper) — 6 ideas - [dining room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/48721245/list/dining-room) — 1 idea - [kids bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/53895455/list/kids-bedroom) — 4 ideas - [kitchen backsplash](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/54659974/list/kitchen-backsplash) — 3 ideas - [Ceiling detail with beams](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/53895033/list/ceiling-detail-with-beams) — 4 ideas - [Exposed trusses](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/52627479/list/exposed-trusses) — 7 ideas - [steam showers bench](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/29833830/list/steam-showers-bench) — 2 ideas - [shingle style](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/29821828/list/shingle-style) — 1 idea - [TUBSHOWERS](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/29299260/list/tubshowers) — 3 ideas - [front porch](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/17140078/list/front-porch) — 2 ideas [See all 18 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/bkotzen) ## Community Q&A **Q: what is the wallpaper brand?** *(in Photo Questions)* Blue on blue A: The walls are upholstered. **Q: Cabinet Hardware** *(in Photo Questions)* I love the cabinet hardware.
