She has alot of experience and she is Professional. AJ is organized and her time lines are realistic and accurate. She is very dependable. **Comment from AJ Margulis Interiors:** > Thanks for the great review Sue! Looking forward to doing more projects with you. ### All 52 reviews **★★★★★ — kfrbailey, Oct. 2025** > Working with AJ Margulis on our kitchen renovation was an absolute joy. She completely transformed our layout, creating a space that’s both beautiful and incredibly functional. AJ has an amazing eye for design and really listened to how our family lives and cooks. Every detail feels thoughtful and intentional. She’s professional, responsive, and truly cares about her clients. We couldn’t be happier with the result and highly recommend her! **★★★★★ — marypeiffer, Oct. 2025** > I am so happy I contacted AJ. We originally hired AJ to design our master bath and bedroom. AJ re-arranged the entire layout of the bathroom and it is beyond amazing. We were so pleased with the changes AJ made (and her contractors), we ended up having AJ design the rest of the second floor and the entire first floor. AJ delivered beyond our expectations and we highly recommend her. **★★★★★ — Richard Sichel, Oct. 2025** > AJ did a complete redo of my living room, dining room, and foyer and it turned out amazing! Her ability to determine the look I was seeking and her attention to detail (including her staff) was spot on. AJ and I are beginning the next stage of the continued makeover of my home. I highly recommend AJ for your interior redesign! **★★★★★ — Marni Lun, Oct. 2025** > Working with AJ Margulis Interiors has been an absolute joy. AJ was instrumental in the major restoration and renovation of Evergreen Hall (featured on Instagram at @restoringevergreenhallnj), and her vision truly brought this historic home back to life. > From the very first design meeting, AJ combined artistry, precision, and practicality in a way that made every decision feel intentional. She has an incredible eye for color, scale, and texture, but also a deep respect for the home’s history—seamlessly blending old-world charm with fresh, timeless design. > Her professionalism, organization, and collaborative spirit made what could have been an overwhelming process both enjoyable and inspiring. Evergreen Hall wouldn’t be what it is today without her creativity and care. I can’t recommend AJ Margulis Interiors highly enough! **★★★★★ — N Alter, Oct. 2025** > AJ transformed the kitchen, entryway, laundry area, living room, powder room, stairways, upstairs hallway and dining room of our home. She also set the stage for future decorating and renovations by updating our lighting, color scheme and flooring. She turned our home that had outdated floors, colors, appliances and spaces into a comfortable relaxing, livable, beautiful and elegant space that makes sense and flows. > > AJ Spent enough time getting to know me and my family to understand our likes and dislikes. She brought beautiful colors and patterns into our home. She developed a very deep understanding of the palette of colors that we love and was able to weave them through each room. Her use of colors, fabrics, lighting, artwork, carpeting, window treatments, furniture and architectural details to tell a story is amazing to see in action. > > AJ also did the design work for our kitchen and laundry room redesign including changing some walls for a much better use of space. We are so happy with this project and we are in the process of planning future projects. **★★★★★ — Barbara Nelson, Feb. 2020** > I was exhausted from a family emergency, just moved into a lovely house that was completely different from the house we'd sold after 20 years, and needed a nurturing space. My landscape designer suggested I call AJ, and it was a fantastic referral. The result is beyond our expectations and we love it. Under the circumstances, I was a challenging client, but AJ found my style and was able to bring it into the new house in a way I would never have been able to do without her design sense and advice. She and her very professional team of design and crafts-people took the stress out of installation. I definitely recommend that you meet with AJ, and open up to the possibility that the environment you create might just give you a whole new store of energy and a delightful home. We love our home! A big thanks to AJ Margulis Interiors. **Comment from AJ Margulis Interiors:** > Thank you so much Barbara! I have really enjoyed working with you on your house. It did take a few meetings to really understand our direction but I think that made for an incredible result. When I now enter your rooms I feel they fit the house and YOU perfectly. Keep enjoying! **★★★★★ — Karen Collias, Feb. 2020** > AJ’s designs are contemporary and comfortable. She designed and furnished a new townhouse, turning it from a cookie cutter to custom home. She has a great eye for detail, overseeing installation of tiling, wall paper, and woodwork, as well as conceptualizing, designing, ordering, and placing top-of-the line furniture. She truly made our house into a contemporary and comfortable home. **Comment from AJ Margulis Interiors:** > Thanks so much Karen! Your house makes me happy every time I am there. I am so glad you are enjoying it. **★★★★★ — koday29, Feb. 2020** > I love my timeless living room that A.J. designed. We have an 1895 Victorian with a tricky floor plan and I tasked her with using the wallpaper and drapes that were already in place and not putting in any overhead electrical work. She worked hard to meet my demands. Guests constantly complement the space (where we entertain frequently). If it weren’t for the fact that we had to spend the remainder off our decorating budget and then some on a new slate roof shortly after we finished our project with A.J., I would have had her help me with other spaces in the house—maybe someday! **Comment from AJ Margulis Interiors:** > Thank so much for the review. I loved working on your house, it is such a gorgeous, old house. Working with the complicated layout was a wonderful challenge. It was like solving the ultimate crossword puzzle when I figured it out! I am also hoping to be able to tackle some of the others spaces in the future. Life is long, it will eventually happen! **★★★★★ — Stacey McLaughlin, March 2019** > I have had the pleasure of consistently working with AJ since 2016. We built a home and AJ advised us every step of the way from floorplans to finishing touches. AJ is exceptional at what she does. She had a vision from the beginning and guided us to a finished product that we love and enjoy very much. AJ's professionalism and exquisite taste set her apart from other design professionals. She is organized, responsive, and has the best partners and relationships in the business. AJ is a pleasure to know and we look forward to many more years of working together. **Comment from AJ Margulis Interiors:** > Thank you so much for that wonderful review Stacey! I have had a wonderful time working with you and look forward to continuing on! **★★★★★ — Fred & Lorenz, Nov. 2018** > AJ worked on every room of our new home and we could not be happier! We have worked with other designers in the past, but none of them compare to AJ Margulis. She understood our vision from the very beginning - we did not have to keep going back and forth with concepts. Every time she presented an idea, we loved it! She has impeccable taste and style, and we are reaping the benefits! **Comment from AJ Margulis Interiors:** > Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I have really enjoyed working with you on your home and I am so happy to see all six of you enjoying your house. I can't wait to photograph the spaces!! **★★★★★ — William Compton, Dec. 2017** > AJ has been a terrific partner, helping our home come to life! Now that we're starting a new project in our new home, we will once again partner with her to make magic happen! The work in our home really made it wow (and we were on budget)! > > The new project will be multiphase and much larger, including a kitchen, several bathrooms, a master suite and family room. Here we go! **★★★★★ — Elizabeth Compton, Dec. 2017** > We have worked with AJ Margulis numerous times over the past 10 years, and we are just embarking on our biggest project yet with her. Complete renovation of a 100-year old house! We would not have dreamed of starting this project without her on board from day one, and her work with our architect on the creation of the plans, and her ongoing work with our contractor has been invaluable. She understands our family and how we live in our space, and she instinctively knows what we will like, while occasionally challenging us out of our comfort zone. Her work is tasteful and elegant, but also enhances a life filled with teenagers, dogs and muddy boots! You want to live in spaces done by AJ!! **Comment from AJ Margulis Interiors:** > Thank you so much Liz! I am having so much fun working on this house with you! I can't wait to see it completed! \#dreamhouse **★★★★★ — Colleen McCaffrey, Oct. 2017** > We purchased a new home and hired AJ Margulis Interiors to design and decorate our first floor living space. We couldn’t be happier with our choice! We started by asking AJ to design our living and dining room area and quickly added the kitchen and family room once we saw how wonderfully things were coming together. She was able to accent the distinct features of our home and enhance its inherent beauty with new furnishings, area rugs, fine art and paint and wallpaper selections. We were delighted by AJ’s ability to reclaim some of our older furnishings and bring new life to them through superior craftsmanship and vibrant colors and finishes. AJ’s unique sense of space and color combined with her vision, creativity and attention to detail made it easy for us to fall in love with our new home. > > AJ came highly recommended to us and it was an extremely enjoyable experience to work with her. She’s very professional and confident in her abilities though also willing to take input and work to accommodate specific desires and touches of her customers. I look forward to working with her again for our next project and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for interior design help. **Comment from AJ Margulis Interiors:** > Thank you so much Colleen! I have loved working with you on your home, we have created a beautiful space together as well as having a lot of fun! **★★★★★ — kmcarlson0826, Oct. 2017** > This is our third project with AJ and we couldn't be more pleased. AJ takes the time to understand your style and designs beautiful rooms that are also comfortable and useable. Her attention to detail is impeccable. She is also warm and easy to work with. I can't wait for our next project! **Comment from AJ Margulis Interiors:** > Thanks so much! I can’t wait to work on the dining room. Also, then I will get to see those gorgeous babies of yours! **★★★★★ — AC R, Sept. 2017** > AJ is unbelievably talented and has an amazing eye. We loved how she transformed our space. We look forward to hiring her for our 2nd phase of our project. **Comment from AJ Margulis Interiors:** > Thank you for that wonderful review! I am looking forward to going down to NC in March to begin stage two! **★★★★★ — rsperry11, Sept. 2017** > We had a great experience working with AJ on the redesign of our daughter's bedroom. She had a great vision for optimizing the space and provided many good design options. The end result is beautiful, and we are very happy. Working with AJ is a pleasure, and we plan on starting a new project with her to build a home office for my husband. **Comment from AJ Margulis Interiors:** > Thanks so much! I had so much fun working on Elena's room and I am so glad she is so happy with her space. This next project is going to be beautiful! **★★★★★ — annabroberts, Sept. 2017** > A.J. has helped me with two houses and her work is classic and beautiful. She is willing to work on a small scale or large, which I've found to be incredibly helpful. She has a keen eye for space and layouts, which is what we've worked with her on the most. She always suggests things that add to the room and make it special. I would highly recommend AJ! **★★★★★ — Susan Cino, March 2017** > We hired AJ to decorate our new townhome. She delivered spectacularly! She was extremely easy to work with. She listen to my ideas and introduced many I would never have thought of. In addition to selecting lovely and comfortable furnishings, window treatments and beautiful light fixtures, she designed a wonderful wall unit to display our sculptures and designed a built in China cabinet. She was at our home for every delivery and installation, overseeing everything from placement of furniture to art placement and hanging of art. We couldn't be happier! **★★★★★ — Judianne Hare, Nov. 2016** > It was a pleasure working with AJ. She took the time to understand our lifestyle and work with us to design and create not only a beautiful but functional kitchen that has made everything from family meals to entertaining so inviting. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable and kept to our budget and timelines. She takes pride in her work and it shows in the quality of her projects. We are continuing to work with AJ on our beach house and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a truly talented, creative and professional designer. **★★★★★ — emmjohnson, July 2016** > AJ is a pleasure to work with - she is incredibly talented and very knowledgable. We will definitely use her for additional projects. **★★★★★ — Linda Stern, July 2016** > My project involved getting my home ready for a special event. A major piece was painting the interior. AJ has a phenomenal eye for color and her painting contractor is superb. She was also involved with designing a mantel, reupholstering chairs and changing out light fixture, among other things. The project was completed prior to the event. AJ is professional, knowledgable and easy to work with and to contact. I am happy with all aspects of my project and would hire AJ for future projects **★★★★★ — christinebuchanan34, July 2016** > AJ redesigned our living room space (layout and fireplace built ins) and our master bedroom suite (bedroom, bathroom and walk in closet). > > I would highly recommend AJ. She was easy to work with and collaborative. I will continue to work with her on future projects. **★★★★★ — mrsmit, July 2016** > Working with AJ Margulis Interiors has been a wonderful experience. AJ is a talented designer and collaborator. My project required synthesizing different styles and the result is lovely! Her quite confidence and personal style is an added bonus. **★★★★★ — A Step In Stone, Jan. 2016** > AJ and I have been working together professionally for many years. She makes the selection process easy, providing her honest opinion and high level of expertise. She is knowledgeable, customer focused, and a stylish designer. I'm always eager to see a photo of the finished project because I know it's going to look great! **★★★★★ — adlavine, Dec. 2015** > AJ helped us seventeen years ago when we bought our house. Her taste was impeccable and timeless. We still love all the furniture she picked out for us. In the last seventeen years, I have seen AJ's work at different locations. She has a keen eye and works within budget. Her designs are not rubber-stamped and the spaces she designs reflect the personality of the person with whom she is working. She also has a easy going, pleasant way about her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to refresh their home. **★★★★★ — Kevin Bynum, Dec. 2015** > We hired AJ to decorate the main level of our house. Her beautiful vision has made my house finally feel like a home. Her classic, beautiful style is timeless and I know will last until I WANT to change it and not NEED to change it as styles come in and out. I get compliments all the time on the look of our house now! > AJ is kind and very professional. She listens to all concerns and gives her honest opinion (her opinion was ALWAYS spot on what looked great for the house). She is ALWAYS on time and was available for all installs and work-related meetings. > AJ's rolodex of craftsmen and women were fantastic and everything she asked of them was done to perfection. All were kind, on time, professional and I was completely comfortable having them in my house whenever it was necessary. **★★★★★ — A&E Construction and Design Center, Dec. 2015** > AJ is a very talented and knowledgeable interior designer who we have worked with on numerous projects over the past 6+ years. She creates beautiful spaces for her clients with a keen eye for design, color and space planning. It’s always an enjoyable experience when we’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with AJ and I would highly recommend her if you’re in need of any interior design assistance. **★★★★★ — lloffredo, June 2015** > I have worked with AJ Margulis on various interior design projects over the last 15 years. Our most recent project involved a complete redesign of my daughter's bathroom, gutting the room and starting from scratch. AJ was able to spot design flaws in the layout suggested by the contractor and provide a revised layout that was both more functional, allowed for a larger shower footprint, and was aesthetically more appealing. AJ has a knack for creating rooms that are classic, yet not old-fashioned, functional, and always unique. She also understands that there is a budget and can work within it. AJ also recently helped me update our master bedroom giving it a fresh look with new window treatments, carpet and bedding. I can truly say the room makes me smile every time I enter it. Also, AJ is easy to work with and is not pushy like some other designers I have worked with. It is always a pleasure to work with AJ Margulis. **★★★★★ — cabeckelman, June 2015** > We hired AJ to completely decorate and furnish our newly renovated home. She was completely reliable and professional during the entire year we worked with her. She was extremely helpful with design details and provided us with many options in regards to furnishings, fabrics etc. I would highly recommend this design company. **★★★★★ — Jonathon Bowden, June 2015** > AJ has been nothing short of amazing for our renovation project. She is not simply a designer. She is, by all accounts, a facilitator. She owns the project and gets involved with all parties (architects, contractors, sub-contractors, etc.). > > AJ has and will continue be my first hire on any household renovation, remodel, or design project. Her guidance and style is incredible. **★★★★★ — 609thare, June 2015** > Side Porch, Entranceway and Mudroom > > We hired AJ to design and manage the creation of a mudroom in an area which existed as a garage bay. In addition to the creation of the mudroom the project also included creating a side porch entranceway into the house, exterior lighting and garage doors. > > AJ is very professional and knowledgeable. She provided drawings with elevations and met with us to go over them, answer any questions and make revisions as needed based on our discussions in order to create a space which would meet our needs. She also presented her recommendations for paint, flooring, wallpaper, interior and exterior lighting and other accents to us. Her presentation included her recommended choices but also another option or two. This gave us the opportunity to see other possibilities and discuss potential changes 'real time' in order to make decisions quickly and avoid delays. AJ has a broad experience in design which lent itself perfectly to this project which involved creating an interior and exterior space. In addition, we wanted to find a "space; in the mudroom which could house our two large dogs and their crates in a way that blended into the surroundings and was not obtrusive. AJ did a great job coming up with a creative idea which was functional meeting our needs as well as allowing the contractors to execute. She has a 'get it done' attitude and worked well with us and the contractors. AJ met our timelines and stayed on budget during the project. In summary, AJ is a very experienced interior designer, a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend her to anyone. **★★★★★ — Julie Stuckey, June 2015** > I hired AJ to help design a cohesive LR/DR look for my old PA farmhouse. Wanting to incorporate some traditional pieces, yet looking for a brighter, softer feel, I wasn't sure how to proceed. AJ's vision & expertise are spectacular. Patient & open to my wants & needs, she proved to be a joy to work with & I ended up with the home of my dreams. From furniture suggestions to fabric choices, window treatments to room layout, I couldn't have imagined such homey, comfortable, yet elegant results. > See the results under Bucks County Stone Farmhouse on her site. **★★★★★ — Heather H, Dec. 2014** > We hired AJ to design a complete kitchen renovation in our new home. From the moment of our first meeting to the completion of the project, she was amazing to work with. She listened to our input and incorporated our vision seamlessly into a simply gorgeous space. From her extensive experience, she was able to design the space in a very functional yet beautiful way, and identified some seemingly small things to do that made a huge difference in the end result. She did a great job of bringing ideas and choices that made it easy and enjoyable to move the project forward. AJ also brought in Chris Martin as the contractor, and Chris and AJ were a fantastic team. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend AJ for any interior design project, and look forward to my next project with her! **★★★★★ — Jeff Clancey, Dec. 2014** > AJ did a fantastic job decorating a difficult confluence of two distinct spaces within one setting for me. She somehow managed to make a warm, organic yoga studio blend into the confines of a modern, metallic medical and fitness center. I highly recommend her. **★★★★★ — ericclapton, Nov. 2014** > Our latest project was a complete kitchen remodel. A.J.'s design created a highly functional workspace while still leaving a beautiful room. Her advice to use a custom cabinet maker added to meeting our specific needs. The jewel of the kitchen is a handmade oven/range from France that sets the project apart from the ordinary. The transformation of the dark and dated kitchen to our sunny, sumptuous gathering space is our dream come true. **★★★★★ — TUSCAN HILLS LLC, Nov. 2014** > AJ is a pleasure to work with. Many designers these days develop a set of suppliers ( for fabrics, furniture etc.) and apply those sample products to every design job they encounter regardless - in many cases - of the clients needs and tastes. AJ instead is constantly researching new and different sources to bring a fresh and different look to her design proposal while ensuring she is meeting the client's needs and appealing to their specific tastes. **★★★★★ — Terry Ward, Nov. 2014** > As Chief Operating Officer of a destination property in beautiful Bucks County, Pennsylvania I am constantly challenged to provide a warm, contemporary and compelling atmosphere for over 1.6 million guests annually. When we decided to re-brand our Hospitality Operations, we knew that or hotel needed to be the centerpiece. We needed a designer that was nimble enough to work within a tight timeline, creative enough to manage a tight budget and well balanced to deal with the ethos of a family owned business. I knew that AJ was an accomplished local designer but I was concerned that her residential savvy and "eye" would not be able to transfer to the commercial setting of a 22 room Inn. > I was proved wrong, AJ managed to reflect Bucks County style within the context of our commercial property. The proof is in the pudding as they say, just check out our reviews in TripAdvisor since the renovations were completed back in May 2014. > Great job AJ! **★★★★★ — charlottetmurphy, Nov. 2014** > I lived out of state and purchased a house several months before moving in with the intention of having the house complete upon our arrival. I hired AJ, gave her a budget, a sense of my taste and our move-in date. With just 5 short months and a handful of personal meetings and phone calls, AJ produced the most perfect home! She designed and managed a mudroom renovation, designed built-in shelving, completed window treatments, carpeting, painting, wallpapering and furniture placement for every room in the house. She worked closely with our construction company and provided incredibly professional and competent vendors. AJ in honest, focused, accomplished, incredibly talented and an extremely pleasant person to work with. I am eager to work with her again! **★★★★★ — 4281038stella, Nov. 2014** > AJ has taken my style and design aesthetic to an entirely new, elevated level. I love to decorate and I love beautiful furniture. Often I would find myself unsure of how to incorporate my style into my home. AJ helped me merge my modern pieces into a cohesive look that feels perfect. She's professional and fun to work with. I highly recommend using her as your interior designer! **★★★★★ — meor80, Nov. 2013** > My husband and I decided to "rehab" our 20 year old kitchen. We had the cabinets refinished, replaced the counter tops and appliances, and installed a wood floor. We had some questions about the next steps. We initially hired AJ to consult on backsplash, lighting and general decorating questions. AJ had a simple and clear vision for the kitchen. We then decided to engage AJ to select and make purchases for us--lighting, rug, wall art. We love how well everything came together and we could not be happier with the results! **★★★★★ — mrichter6269, Oct. 2013** > I worked with AJ, of AJ Margulis Interiors, to decorate a 15,000 square foot home. The project could have been easily overwhelming but AJ was quick to help me devise a priority list. She worked tirelessly to draw up floor plans. Then the fun began: working on picking out furniture, fabrics, window treatments, rugs, chandeliers, refinishing the kitchen island and everything else, while being mindful of the overall budget. To say that AJ was easy to work with is an understatement. She was respectful, friendly, communicative and focused. While her taste is impeccable, she was always conscious of my preferences throughout the process and was never overbearing in her opinions. I highly valued her ideas and input and could not imagine my home without her incredible eye for fabric, color and all the important details that make each room special. There were moments when I was downright surprised by AJs unique capabilities. For instance, she personally designed a custom wall unit for our family room with pencil and paper, worked out the specifications, bought the hardware and hired a talented custom woodworker to construct, stain and install it in our home. Watching it come to life was thrilling! It was no surprise, though, that AJ was recognized for her superb work with a professional industry award as it relates to the design work at my home. I highly recommend working with AJ Margulis Interiors on any of your home design needs as AJ is a true talent in the design field and knows how to get things done! **★★★★★ — persic4, Oct. 2013** > We have hired AJ Margulis to design the higher end projects in our home. We love her warm and friendly personality and enjoyed working with her during our kitchen and family/sunroom remodel. AJ has an incredible eye for detail, design innovation and function. As a mother herself, she understood and listened to our request for a bit of formality mixed with comfort and function. We have two children, a dog and an active life style. We told her we wanted "grown-up" rooms that were kid friendly. Somehow she knew exactly what that meant. She always gave us options and understood our need to stay within budget. AJ provided the elevations and design for our contractors. Because of our budget constraints and construction "surprises" that put us over budget, AJ is always willing to break our decorating objectives into smaller jobs. That has enabled us to move forward with our plans. As a side note--she also has an eye for fashion and has given me lots of great advice as a bonus! She is lots of fun and we highly recommend contacting her. **★★★★★ — tamracarpenter, Sept. 2013** > We remodeled three bathrooms and a kitchen. AJ worked with us selecting cabinetry, flooring, tiles, fixtures, lighting, paint, and wallpaper. She took a quick read of our general preferences and our overall desire for a warm organic feel. She was also always willing to let us make suggestions and tweak ideas to make them work for us. Our job is recently completed and we are delighted with the results. Some of the choices are things that we would never have found (or tried) on our own and they really make the job. We already can't remember what our house used to look like! **★★★★★ — kristinkryan, Sept. 2013** > AJ Margulis is a very talented designer. AJ's first project was our family room where she worked within our budget and picked beautiful, timeless fabrics, as well as unique and durable furniture to fit our family lifestyle. She transformed the room into a comfortable, yet elegant space. We have since had AJ work her magic in our dining room, foyer, powder room & kitchen. **★★★★★ — Richard Gray, Sept. 2013** > We have been working with AJ Margulis Interiors updating our 1990s home. We like the clean modern day style. The suggested color schemes are fresh but serene. The rooms are designed to be lived in with comfortable, inviting furniture. AJ listens to our needs and proceeds to accomplish our vision in the most efficient, professional way. **★★★★ — Brogann Sanderson, Sept. 2013** > AJ was remarkable in her ability to hear and understand what it was I needed and wanted to design spaces that fit my taste and style. Her eye for decorating is suburb and the rooms she created look fabulous. Although her work is expensive and she insists on working with the highest quality materials, she was clear about the budget and able to stay within my expectations which required sacrificing and compromising her first choices and making the less expensive options work. My only criticism has to do with communication around the timeframe certain items and areas were completed... furniture and draperies taking longer to make and install than I wanted and expected given what was discussed in my my initial conversations with AJ. That being said, the project was still completed in a reasonable amount of time and the final project is absolutely gorgeous. **★★★★★ — abbyleerose, Sept. 2013** > AJ is wonderful-- talented, creative, professional, and fun to work with. She chose beautiful and interesting pieces, put them together in ways I would not have imagined, and can work with different budgets. I highly recommend her. I nominate her for the Best of Houzz award. **★★★★★ — growinginjersey, March 2013** > We love our new kitchen, and it’s because of AJ, that it is perfect! > > AJ worked closely with the architect, contractor and cabinet dealer to help design the kitchen of our dreams. We hired AJ early in the project to make sure that the kitchen design was well integrated with the rest of the house and all of the design details were addressed at the beginning. > > In working with the architect, she helped us prioritize key design elements that were most likely to affect the end result. For example, we had hoped to realize cost savings by not moving an opening to our dining room. AJ pointed out that while this was an added cost, the long-term design would be enhanced by moving it, and the cost savings was not significant enough to make it worthwhile. She helped us to review the designs and the estimates and worked closely with the contractor and cabinet dealer to design a kitchen that fit our family. > > AJ has fabulous taste, but she is also reasonable. Her suggestions fit our lifestyle, while still maintaining great design. She helped us identify the areas where spending a little bit more would make a difference. And, I am so glad that we listened to her because everything she suggested looks amazing. > > I highly recommend working with AJ. We couldn’t have done what we did without her help. **★★★★★ — racheletz, March 2013** > AJ is so well versed in the art of decorating a home. She creates beautiful, real spaces you want to LiVE in. I would recommend her to my favorite people. **★★★★★ — dkjjw005, March 2013** > AJ worked with us on our living room, dining room and bedroom. She brought fresh ideas, colors and textures to our space and was always attentive to the architectural integrity of our home. She blended our existing furniture with newer pieces to create a warm, family environment with style and livability. **★★★★★ — nedw, March 2013** > We hired AJ Margulis Interiors for help with our bedrooms and living room. The attention to detail, understanding how we lived, our personalities and our tastes really set us at ease. > > The work was timely, efficient and well thought out. The rates were on par with the other estimates we received. > > We highly recommend AJ Margulis Interiors and will use them again! ## Selected projects - [Newtown Front of House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/newtown-front-of-house-pj-vj~7715856) - Location: Newtown, PA - Photos: 10 - [1920's Renovation - ASID Design Excellence Winner - SIlver](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/1920-s-renovation-asid-design-excellence-winner-silver-pj-vj~5874423) - Location: Pennington, NJ - Photos: 11 - [Washington Crossing, PA - ASID Design Excellence Award Winner](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/washington-crossing-pa-asid-design-excellence-award-winner-pj-vj~5671745) - Location: Washington Crossing, PA - Photos: 13 - [Bay Head Beach House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bay-head-beach-house-pj-vj~4532660) - Location: Bay Head, NJ - Photos: 15 - [Kitchen Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-renovation-pj-vj~2344907) - Location: Pennington, NJ - Photos: 7 - [Skillman Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/skillman-renovation-pj-vj~2769233) - Location: Montgomery, NJ - Photos: 13 - Description: The home owner’s of this 90’s home came to us looking for an updated kitchen design and furniture for the family room, living room, dining room and study.
