We hired CPB Designs to design our newly renovated Bathrooms,, kitchen and garden level. The designer has soo many years of experience creating beautiful spaces and it shows. She provided several design schemes which we loved and it was hard to select. She provides great insight and ideas, patiently shops with you to select all of your materials/supplies and works with your contractor to ensure things are done per the design. We are very grateful for the services provided and for the beautiful space she created whoch we waited 15 years for. ### All 14 reviews **★★★★★ — Millie K, Aug. 2025** > Cynthia is terrific. She has a great eye, tons of resources and infinite patience. I recommend her highly for both large and small projects. **Comment from CPB Interiors + Design:** > Thank you Millie. It was a pleasure working with you! **★★★★★ — Elizabeth Owens, April 2025** > We had a wonderful experience working with Cynthia while redoing two bedrooms, an office and powder room. She is very pleasant, easy to work with, organized, and took us through a process which was new to us with ease. No matter your style, she has excellent taste and makes sure you are happy with the choices. She is very perceptive and attentive to each person's requests and tastes to make sure all parties are pleased with the results. Despite our busy work schedules she was flexible and accommodating to make sure the project moved along. I would highly recommend her and would not hesitate to use her services again! **★★★★★ — joshlipschitz, Oct. 2024** > Cynthia from CPB Interiors + Design did an outstanding job transforming our kitchen it into a beautiful and functional space that exceeded our expectations. Her attention to detail and creative design solutions made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a talented interior designer. **Comment from CPB Interiors + Design:** > and what a transformation!

She has great taste and adjusts to help you fulfill your vision for your spaces. She is a total pleasure to work with and transformed our house into our dream home. **Comment from CPB Interiors + Design:** > It was a pleasure in getting to know you and the family and in working to make your new house a home. Thank you for the opportunity! **★★★★★ — Phaul Colatat, Aug. 2023** > Cynthia is a true professional. She not only knows design, but more importantly she makes you feel at ease, even if the renovation process as a whole is quite stressful. I would happily hire her again for future projects and would recommend her to friends and family. > > We hired her to redesign the master bedroom floorplan and renovate the kitchen and bathrooms. From the very first meeting, we could tell she was very organized, with great attention to detail, and responsive to communication. She was able to provide a clear and detailed contract rather quickly. > > The options provided for the floorplan were excellent, and much better than any other ideas we had prior to hiring her. > > While I might usually dread choosing materials or working with contractors, it was a joy shopping and meeting with Cynthia. As the project proceeded, she listened to our functional and style requirements, and while shopping she paid attention to finishes we liked. She then took all this information and put together a presentation with a number of options for each room. We were having a bit of an issue with one vendor, but Cynthia stepped in and handled a sticky situation, lifting a great weight off of our shoulders. Past renovation I had done were always stressful, but working with Cynthia was fun and easy. > > We are very happy with the results of the renovation as the design reflects our tastes while looking well put together. **Comment from CPB Interiors + Design:** > Thank you so much Phaul! It was an absolute pleasure working with you both as well. I wish you much happiness and many great memories made in your new home. **★★★★★ — Jennifer, Feb. 2023** > My husband and I found CPB Interiors + Design on Houzz and upon looking through her portfolio on her website loved her design aesthetic and clean, sleek look. We contacted Cynthia when we had to go through an emergency bathroom renovation and needed design advice immediately! My husband and I originally tried designing our powder room ourselves and upon entering our first tile shop were immediately overwhelmed. Cynthia jumped right in and listened to our concerns, pain points, and design style. CPB Interiors + Design were accommodating to our budget and we were so happy with the quick turnaround of Cynthia's work that we requested to work with her on our master bathroom renovation and our kids' bathroom immediately following the first project. Cynthia was amazing in recommending contractors, providing mood boards, layouts and options galore. She was always responsive and provided on-site visits whenever we needed her/was necessary. Cynthia suggested things we never would have thought of ourselves, such as extra storage solutions. All of our idea and opinions were respected, and I appreciated Cynthia's input of where to splurge vs. save. She made sure our projects stayed on track and has the best intuition, she could immediately tell when we loved a design suggestion or when we needed to pivot in another direction. If items were delivered damaged, it was immediately rectified, I never had a single worry with her team. Everyone who has seen our space is in awe of her work, and we cannot wait to work with Cynthia again on additional projects in our house! **Comment from CPB Interiors + Design:** > Thank you for your raving review Jennifer! It was a pleasure working with you both and seeing the spaces come to fruition. **★★★★★ — Mr B, Dec. 2022** > Cynthia has been the guardian angel flying above our whole-home refresh for most of the year. From meeting at the showroom to pick tile and in the background making sure the grout matches, to preparing paint, door and trim schedules so contractors and subs don't need to think too hard, to fighting for refunds when vendors dropped the ball -- I can only conclude that if we DIDN'T have Cynthia involved, a whole hell of a lot of things would have gone wrong along the way. She found us dining room furniture that is gorgeous and posh; but able to stand up to young children's messy hands; built gallery walls out of our photos; made sure we didn't veer off course from the design aesthetic we built in early mood boards; and all of this with a psychologist's knack for knowing just how to step in and out of a married couple's own deliberations. > > We fully recommend her, and if the project is larger and involves furniture, do consider the extra service supplement for coordinating all the purchases and being on-site for key installations. It really made a difference. **Comment from CPB Interiors + Design:** > It has been at absolute pleasure working with you Mr. B! Thank you! **★★★★★ — Irina Santillan, April 2022** > We had a fantastic experience working with Cynthia! She helped us design a master bathroom, living room and family room in our newly-renovated home. Cynthia made the process so easy and enjoyable. She was an excellent listener throughout the process and understood our goals, tastes and budget very quickly. Our home turned out beautiful and I’m so grateful that we had Cynthia’s guidance along the way. Renovations are always stressful but working with Cynthia was the opposite! I already recommended Cynthia to multiple family member and friends. **Comment from CPB Interiors + Design:** > It was a pleasure working with you Irina. Thank you! **★★★★★ — HU-517123085, Feb. 2022** > Cynthia is extremely knowledgeable and professional. She helped make our visions become a reality. She has excellent taste and resources . She knows where to find the right products and comes up with the best solution. Cynthia is reliable, honest and meticulous. She is always on time for our appointments. She made it easy for us and we are very happy with the outcome of our project. **★★★★★ — sharen lopez, July 2021** > Cynthia was our saving grace!! She helped bring our vision to life and created something even better than what we could have ever imagined. The compliments are ongoing even weeks after the project has been completed! The project included a whole kitchen, dining, and living room renovation. She is patient, honest, and hard working. I highly highly recommend her for any home project. **Comment from CPB Interiors + Design:** > Thank you Sharen. It was an absolute pleasure working with you! Looking forward to more collaborations in the future. **★★★★★ — Maria Hoogterp, Jan. 2021** > Cynthia provided much needed guidance and support during our home renovation. Her sixth sense of meaningful design was experienced when she walked us through bath and kitchen design centers providing options and learning what we preferred for style or function. She is a true professional participating in all the custom cabinet meetings double checking design and layout down to placement of the hardware. She is detailed orientated and the GC was impressed by the specific information she provided on the all the kitchen, bath, flooring, lighting, moulding, and door selections with their location on the plans. She is a lifesaver as responds quickly and makes herself available during the project going above and beyond to help solve an issue. She is a zen artist and created the perfect home environment for the entire family. I am overwhelmed by the beauty of the renovation and it would not have been possible without Cynthia. **Comment from CPB Interiors + Design:** > It was an absolute pleasure working with you Maria! Thank you. **★★★★★ — Lauren Ryan, June 2020** > Cynthia is our designer on several projects, including a master bathroom/closet and enclosed porch extension. She always maintains a wonderful demeanor and is so easy to work with. She has a great eye for color and design and enjoys working with many different styles. She is knowledgable about different design trends and couples that knowledge with our vision, resulting in a very exciting design scheme. She has accompanied us to design stores and she follows up promptly with photos and ideas we discussed during our outings. She is very resourceful and is a tremendous help in pulling all of the details together. She is also superb at laying things out and configuring/reconfiguring space. We highly recommend her! **Comment from CPB Interiors + Design:** > Thank you Lauren! It is a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — Carol Paik, March 2020** > We have worked with Cynthia on more than one project, and in both cases she was wonderful! She has a great eye and great taste, she made excellent suggestions but also listened closely to what we were saying and took our style into account. On top of that, she took care of all the details so all we had to do was make some choices and then she made everything happen. We enthusiastically recommend her. **Comment from CPB Interiors + Design:** > Many thanks Carol! It is always a pleasure working with you. ## Selected projects - ["Art of the Home" Showhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/art-of-the-home-showhouse-pj-vj~7838824) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - Description: Powder Room designed for Aspire Magazine "Art of the Home" Showhouse held in Upper Saddle River.
