I absolutely love what Maria has done in transforming these rooms into completely functional and stylish spaces which the whole family love being in. Maria has since redesigned our powder room and dining room and I have a long list (basically every other room in the house!) for her to bring her magic to next! Thank you Maria, you certainly have fantastic ideas, great vision, class and style!! **Comment from Viola Interior Design, LLC:** > Thank you Anna! You are a wonderful person to design for - we enjoy every minute with you and helping you with your home!! **★★★★★ — jgtabas, Oct. 2019** > Maria is excellent! She worked withi our preferences and budget to furnish our entire new home beautifully. She has exquisite taste and is very easy to work with. She made the whole experience wonderful. We would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. **Comment from Viola Interior Design, LLC:** > Thanks so much Janine - it was such a pleasure to work with you and Robert (and Cosmo too of course!). So glad we could make your home special for you all to enjoy! > -Maria **★★★★★ — Dave Bellwoar, July 2018** > I hired Viola Interior Design to consult on my new business fit-out and am so excited that I did. Maria's attention to details and her ability to help select the perfect colors, wall coverings and furniture which compliment my store's product, exceeding my expectations. My goal was to build a high end lighting showroom, and with Viola's recommendations, guidance and knowledge of design, I feel we have delivered this dream to my clientele. Viola Interior Design was one of the most professional businesses I have had the pleasure to work with. My greatest thanks and appreciation for Maria can hardly be written in a few words here, but I hope it helps if you are considering her for your next project. You won't be disappointed! **Comment from Viola Interior Design, LLC:** > It was such an honor to work on your newly built showroom. We enjoyed helping your dream come to fruition and seeing the day to day progress of all of our efforts. Working with you and your talented staff at Bright Light was a pleasure! **★★★★★ — Elise Groomes, July 2018** > Viola Interior Design, LLC transformed my very plain, Hudson Valley > guest cottage into a beautiful jewel box of a getaway for my visitors. > The design is perfectly appropriate for the area, giving the home a > relaxing, yet sophisticated feeling. I am constantly receiving compliments on the design and the overall atmosphere of the cottage. > There is no doubt that I made the right choice and will hire Viola Interior Design again on my next project. **Comment from Viola Interior Design, LLC:** > Thank you Elise! It was a delight to help you with your charming cottage in such a scenic setting as the Hudson Valley. You were a terrific client and we are so happy to see that your visitors are enjoying the space as well! **★★★★ — HU-509132415791191704963, July 2018** > I hired Maria for help renovating my outdated row home in South Philly. It felt overwhelming to design it myself with two small children and working full time. Maria was patient as I tried to figure out exactly what I wanted. She listened to what I was looking for and gave me practical options for each component. It was important for me to have my home bright and kid friendly. Maria helped select paint colors, lighting options, kitchen tile and appliances, flooring, and furniture. She was always available to answer my questions. My home is now airy and cheerful. **Comment from Viola Interior Design, LLC:** > Thank you Nicole - we loved working on your project - it is always our goal to providing guiding insight. We are so glad your renovation went more smoothly by working with us! **★★★★★ — Eric Paster, June 2018** > Maria knows what she is doing. She designed our renovation from the ground up and most importantly, she took our taste and preferences into account when selecting the furniture, colors, and decor. She selected furniture pieces that functioned how we would use them. It is reassuring to me that the project will be both tasteful and practical at the same time. Furthermore, she is very professional. When undergoing a project like this, things don't always go as planned in the construction and she talked me off the ledge on more than one occasion. Thanks Maria! **Comment from Viola Interior Design, LLC:** > Thank you Eric - we have loved working on this renovation project and creating designs for you! **★★★★★ — Studio 882, June 2018** > I have worked with Maria for a little over five years as a trade resource for her (she buys for her clients from my business). We regularly meet with her and sometimes her clients to go over her projects and find the perfect pieces for her clients' space. We work with trade members all over the world, and there are designers who listen to their clients and designers who want their client's to listen to them. Maria is one of the designers who listens to her clients. It's your space, and she appreciates that fact. From a behind the scenes vantage point, I can tell you first hand that she designs for you with your style, your functionality and your budget in mind. **★★★★★ — Susan Vonderheide, June 2018** > Maria is absolutely terrific. She is responsive, thoughtful, and respectful of your budget and scope of work. We had one room that we wanted to completely re do and three others that we wanted to keep some furniture but "spruce up" with window dressings, paint, carpet, and some accents. She really transformed the rooms. I can't recommend her highly enough. **Comment from Viola Interior Design, LLC:** > Thank you Susan - it has been such a pleasure working with you and creating a new look for your spaces!! **★★★★★ — Tara L, May 2017** > Excellent service! Very helpful in assisting with new construction colors and lighting options. Prompt responses and communication as well. Would definitely recommend! **★★★★★ — ajbad5, May 2017** > We hired Viola Interior Design for our house we just built. Maria was great with everything! I never felt any pressure and the choices she provided were top of the line. She always kept me steered in the right direction so as to not make any costly mistakes - she is fantastic and I would highly recommend her to anyone! **★★★★★ — annettemadison, Feb. 2017** > We were building a new home and my husband encouraged me to seek out the services of interior design professional. I was skeptical about the idea because I wanted the home to reflect our style and taste. I mentioned to a friend that we were thinking about doing this and she recommended Maria Violia-Kuttruff of Viola Interior Designs. After reviewing on her website, I decided to give her a call. We hired Maria and shortly thereafter I realized it was the right decision. Maria is a talented professional. She really listens to you and works within your budget. She made sure she inspected everything that was delivered, and if it wasn't perfect, she handled it immediately and was excellent with the follow up. Maria cares about making her clients happy. **★★★★★ — Kristine O'Connor, Feb. 2017** > Maria is an extraordinary talent! Upon meeting Maria, it is obvious that she is both educated and experienced in the field of DESIGN. There is purpose and meaning to all of her ideas. Maria immediately understood my 'classic' style but didn't hesitate to offer ideas that helped me extend beyond my comfort zone. I am honestly thrilled with the results of every project Maria has completed for our home. Maria is highly professional and honest. She holds her vendor contacts accountable and doesn't settle for anything less than perfect. My only regret is that I didn't meet Maria five years ago when my husband and I initially purchased our home! ## Selected projects - [Main Line Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/main-line-kitchen-pj-vj~245312) - Location: Bryn Mawr, PA - Photos: 4 - Description: Before we renovated this kitchen for our client, it was dark and outdated.
