I’m Caitlin Rutkay of C.R. Interior Designs. When I started working with my own clients over 15 years ago, I knew I wanted to curate beautiful interiors. I quickly learned my interior design expertise translates to more time for you, and certainly more confidence in your design choices. Luxury is in the details, and one of my goals is to free you from worrying about the step-by-step. That is working with the best sub-contractors, solving design dilemmas, sourcing the perfect sofa or beautiful art to complete a room. I transform what you feel and envision for your home into a luxurious design that reflects the image you have of yourself and your lifestyle. At the beginning of my career, I worked at the top of the design industry with elite designers David Easton, and later, Charlotte Moss. Working beside them ingrained in me the importance of all of these details — they are what creates a home that’s a perfect reflection of your lifestyle. Whether you're moving into a new home, custom building a home, downsizing or aging in place, you can trust that working with me means luxury design for how you live. I would love to talk with you about bringing your design vision to reality.

She has an amazing eye and she is easy to work with. > After working with us for years on updating our home it made a huge difference. When we put our home on the market it sold in one day and a lot was because of her TLC. > Our new home is lovely too and the hardest thing for us was to find new lighting and Caitlin made it happen. Her recommendations were perfect.! **★★★★★ — Mary Warner, May 2023** > Caitlin has done an amazing job for me on two occasions. > > Her latest project entailed doing an entire house for me. Her attention to detail and her ability to meld what is new and fresh but still show our personality was amazing! > > She did an entire gutted kitchen and powder room which are admired by all. Sadly we are selling the house and because of her exquisite job the house sold in 2 days. > > Looking forward to our next project! **★★★★★ — Amy, May 2023** > CR Designs provided a seamless and enjoyable full-scale renovation and furnishing experience. Her team are professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail, taking the time to understand their clients' style and needs while incorporating their own unique vision and expertise. They provide a variety of options and ideas, always keeping their clients' budget in mind, and execute the renovation flawlessly, overseeing every aspect of the project. Caitlin's talent for creating functional and beautiful spaces is evident in her curation of a beautiful collection of furniture, decor, and accessories that perfectly complement the new space **★★★★★ — jenfri, May 2023** > I will start off by saying I wish we had worked with Caitlin sooner but I am so happy to be working with her now. > > Caitlin has an unbelievable talent for understanding what we like and need, even when we weren’t really clear ourselves. We went from having a house that had no cohesive style to creating a home that reflects our personalities, our family and how we live. Aside from being a talented designer, she has been amazing with guidance and advice of where to invest in new pieces and how to integrate what we already have. Caitlin takes the guesswork and stress out of design and we will continue to work with her throughout our home. And to top it all off, Caitlin is a kind, honest and genuine person who is great to work with. **★★★★★ — theresamattioli, March 2016** > Caitlin is extremely talented and easy to work with. She stays within budget and gives meticulous detail to each room. Honest to work with. > Theresa **★★★★★ — barbararich2, Jan. 2013** > Wonderful services. Very helpful with decision making. Works well with lots of tastes. Even though we maybe didn't have the same exact taste we were easily able to come to extremely fast decisions withing budget with little to no back and forth. She "got" what I wanted and was able to steer me exactly where I wanted to go. I highly recommend CR Interior Design (and have already referred to another friend). She is professional, courteous and understands all aspects of design work. She is also extremely honest and trustworthy. When the renovation and decoration became overwhelming at times, I just called and said, I am exhausted from making decisions, "Decorator's choice". I was thrilled and excited with each choice that was made each time we got to that point. ## Selected projects - [Central Park Tower](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/central-park-tower-pj-vj~7075030) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 5 - [Mansion In May The Abbey](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mansion-in-may-the-abbey-pj-vj~7075033) - Location: Morristown, NJ - Photos: 3 - Description: For this Mansion In May showhouse space, I was inspired by younger brothers.
